Then why are you out preaching to the choir????? Why have an audience if your path is so solitary??? Why try to requote Jesus (and the King James mediocre translation at best) when it is written clearly enough for most average people to understand in any case? It is as if I had come across some instructions on how to use a can opener which read: "Insert lid into mechanical gripper and turn handle" Then explained this all to everyone" Purport Zenbob: "Those who seek to open the can of wisdom must grip the can opener of liberation, but it is a solitary task designed for one hand alone (clapping) once the can is inserted, the Acolyte must twist the winder to open the can of wisdom." Hope this twists some lids... Peace, Zenbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask that too but you already did with 5 question marks.

My average brother is below average. Who's to blame for that??????

Who am I? A jar of Jiffy Peanut Butter? All I know is that I have these beautiful crazy dance steps. It feels divine. I am divine. I am holy. I love. God I have so much. I even have enough to keep the vampires happy... --------------- PS: Tony is pretty special in his own way too. Chunky or smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end result in the book may be that there will be people not so fortunately advanced as you are. This is the Gospel of Thomas from Nag Hammadi( Gnosis as a cognitive with Jnana or Gnana) and is not in the canon; therefore has nothing to do with the King James version of the canon.........ONS...Tony.

So, strangely enough, since I read all these back in the late 1970's and early 80's when I was a Minister, perhaps it will surprise you and others to realize that I can play at Scholar and theologian, too. The danger of basing an entire theological effort (or book) on tracts that are in dispute, or where one has depended on only an early popularized form sold to the mass public is that it may fit some neat preconceptions but it may also in no way be profound or even risk denting th truth. I like to at least dent the truth of things a bit when I swing a theological hammer about. Peace, Namaste, Zenbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
