I like your observation. The word Christ is from the Greek language. In Hebrew it is Mashiach which is translated to Messiah in English. It means a leader or savior of a particular group or cause.
Quoting: danielbarzohar Given these two posts, I'm going to ask youse guyses this question--
I read that the second coming of Christ is not a person, well Jesus, coming back, but rather the second coming will be when the masses reach a point wherein we've....well, mastered ourselves, become more Christ-like.
What do you think about this idea?....:idea:
EDIT: Oh, that's funny. I meant to put one of these
, but wrote idea in there because of what I was thinking, harhar.
Quoting: cosmicgypsy It could be both. Some Rabbis teach that once the spark of the messiah is cultivated in enough people, a single messiah appears. They say the awakening from below is essential for the messiah to come.
Quoting: danielbarzohar Hmmmm, interesting.....yes, that makes sense.
I've been thinking (uh oh, harhar)....it's always been hard for me to fathom Christ coming back into human form....but yet I do think there is reincarnation, and I wonder why I have a hard time with the concept.
Maybe it's because the world of people was so different back then....I mean, I know he was "slighted" to say the least, but we seem to be more beast-like now, some of us....too many of us.
Personally, I would fear for his life. I fear that he would be taken out again....there's too much "evil" on the planet right now.
Can you help me with this?
And so you know, I'm not a Christian. I'm very spiritual, but do not belong to any religion, nor do I hold the Bible up as a gold standard....there's just too many questions about how it was translated, what was added to the original form, and what was taken out.
I do however very much love the Christed Spirit. It has healed me, comforted me in times of loss, and has lifted my own spirit up high. I have no words for the beauty of the Christed Spirit, it's that special to me, and I do love that entity.
