Having read through the responses to this question it is interesting to note the depth to which the truth has been buried. Not one of you appear to have read an original document, such as the diary of Jerome available in National Libraries where you would see his statements on how he put the NT together and altered parts of the OT to fit what he did.
You are all busy trying to make me look like I don’t know what I am talking about but you might be surprised. Knowing how you are likely to spin more ridicule and misinformation my way caused me to have considerable thought before responding. However, I feel it is right to do so although feeling that this will lead to more attacks.
To begin with I have full memory of my reincarnation. I was a man in my last life and with that experience can assure you there is no heaven or hell, no devil, angels or saints and that your concept of the Divine is totally governed by religious spin and camouflage. There is none so blind as those who cannot see or deaf than those who cannot hear.
If you think reincarnation is not right then look up Dr. Ian Stephenson and check out his 40 years of research into it. It might help the scales to drop from some of your eyes. It is also mentioned several times in the OT. There is a lot in OT prophecies you would do well to examine but get yourselves a King James bible which has not been altered and contaminated by religious clones.
It was the Spirit that led me to Constantine through a vision of him as 666. It is borne out in the prophecies, if you care to look. The bricks of the first Vatican contained his initials CC and as for the bits of the first cross, as you call it, perhaps you can explain how it was possible to find them or anything else in Jerusalem some 300 years after the supposed event and after Titus had raised the city to the ground so that not even the foundation stones of the wall could be found?
Some people have links to the Spirit, who is not a man but a mighty creative force. Religious leaders do not want you to know that because they have created something they can manipulate and use for their benefit in the Trinity and their so-called Savior. Heaven and hell are weapons used by them to get you in and keep you there. Constantine knew that and he created a religion that has been extremely violent, unforgiving and discriminatory.
Maybe you can explain how a man, who is so remote that no one even knows his name, can be a god? How is a virgin birth possible when the genes of both parents are required for conception and spirit has no genes? In ancient times anyone who wanted to be seen as an authority claimed a virgin birth, even Pythagoras. Where are heaven and hell and why would Christ die to save the world when the world is always in conflict and is coming to an end?
I feel that’s enough for now and hopefully you will give some thought to what is being said here. It is not meant to be anything other than a reasonable debate about why some people behave as they do and why belief systems have become so powerful. Maybe give some thought as well to the authorities you use for your debate and the agenda that they were serving when they wrote their works.
