[Urist is dead tome]

Damn, that's the most masturbatory piece of fiction that I've ever read.

Okay..... I don't want to be near you anymore....

Just as with 99% of your posts, I don't understand your reasoning, but by all means, suit yourself.

[CoughDrop]

Urist is dead... I just realized we live in the same state.

I'd just like to clarify that that was a joke.

Man did this thing derail.

[Zrk2]

Where did this go in the last 10 pages?

[Eugenitor]

Where it kind of had to.

How much do you discuss about the absence of something? It's like talking about interstellar vaccuum. "Yup, there's definitely nothing there." "Ooh, look at all the magnetic fields and loose ions." "Yeah, not much of anything." "Yup."

OK?...

[ECrownofFire]

The religion discussion has finally run out of fuel for the fire. What do we do now?

[Zrk2]

Flamewar.

[Urist is dead tome]

What that smell?

[Shade-o]

Wait, I thought it was about how the Old Testament was originally a polytheistic Hebrew account of mythology that was later co-opted by politically powerful worshipers of the war god Yahweh, who clumsily edited it to look like it had always been about a monotheistic account of Yahweh?

And the New Testament being written way after Jesus' death, by people who never encountered him, and was then edited the hell out of by various political groups to match their aims.

At least, I think that was what we were talking about.

I was a Christian for some time and what I heard was is nobody knows but everyone assumes the whole thing was written some time after Jesus' death. I'm not very sure though. I don't think anybody knows for sure.

Yeah, I don't think we're really talking about much anymore, beyond a couple of "Yup." or "Could be." comments. I'm thinking it's time to call it quits for now. Feel free to PM me if anyone disagrees.

Okay, re-opened. I'll lock it again if the conversation wanders down to nothing again, but I got a request for a specific topic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messianic_Secret

I've been thinking on this little conundrum a bit.

As Jesus said to the Apostles.
"The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, " 'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.'"

This particular passage is kinda weird. It pretty much tells us that the masses didn't get the full scoop.

While he preached to a lot of people at once he told them not to spread the word. An interpretation of this is that he wanted to fulfill the Jewish Messiah prophecy. This seems a bit short but I haven't studied the matter very much.

What's your take on all this?

[Zrk2]

The Bible gets more confusing the more you delve into it? Jesus told people not to spread the word? I thought all Christians were supposed to try and convert the heathens. Where is this?
