I obviously agree RP. They are evidence of something, but rarely stand up to detailed analysis even in their own terms. The Christians may be Flavians conned by a Roman plot, Christ may not be a historical person but an invention, Islam may be from Berber Jews and so on. Make these texts in some way 'holy' perhaps as the word of god or an angel and hence he did come to speak to us. This is more evidence of human gullibility than anything else to me. And this doesn't mean the texts have nothing to offer.
-- Religion for me can't be a matter of smug satisfaction or rejection of counter-evidence as economics does through 'externalities'. Seeking is a presence I understand, not the sacred.

In contrast to the Logos, God can be conceived (in principle at least) also apart from his revelatory action─although we must not forget that the Bible speaks of God only in his revelatory action. The paradox that the Logos is God and yet it is in some sense distinguishable from God is maintained in the body of the Gospel. That God as he acts and as he is revealed does not "exhaust" God as he is, is reflected in sayings attributed to Jesus: I and the Father are one"[Jn 10:30] and also, "the Father is greater than I."[14:28] The Logos is God active in creation, revelation, and redemption. Jesus Christ not only gives God's Word to us humans; he is the Word.[1:14] [14:6] He is the true word─ultimate reality revealed in a Person. The Logos is God, distinguishable in thought yet not separable in fact.No room for ego, arrogance or anything like it there.

What i feel is of great importance is to change the perspective of just who or what God is.. one thing i am sure of is the common perspective is not working..

Subject: Re: Mind's Eye Re: PresenceIt isn't easy listening, authority imposed where there is none. I am not interested in anyone telling me what to do or how to view myself, and certainly am not looking for psychoanalysis. But I am interested in listening to others views when presented as their own, even when filled with dread and anger. I don't take it personally and wish the best for everyone.I am interested in the Logos...the beginning word...the word as God, or the meaning that passes between. You hit the nail on the head there, Allan.

I read that or hear statements like that what i hear is people that have no clue and presenting double talk to appear to have an answer. Further more they want no answer so any other possibility is automatically rejected.
So if a possibility is presented it is rejected because for no other reason than it does not fit your perception.
