As a human being, my body is an intrinsic part of who and what I am. I believe our lives depend on our bodies. Death is the separation of body and soul. When God promises eternal life, the body is going to be a part of that.
Our true essence is spiritual/light, not earthly/body.
Christians, don’t believe this gnostic nonsense. This statement does not mesh with the belief that Jesus rose from the dead with his body, and appeared to his followers in the flesh. As it is written in the Bible. If the body was something to disregard or leave behind, why didn’t Jesus?
We are spirit and body.
The tide can’t turn on reddit until they get a whole new set of admins to enforce the rules fairly. Users are beholden to the whims of radical powermods, who are enabled by the admins who agree with them. I do hope things will turn around though. There’s a lot of valuable info on reddit.
I’m a little bit concerned about Trump’s comment about not wanting to prosecute his political opponents. I imagine this means we’ll have to wait for rock-solid evidence of significant crime to come out and be widely publicized before they take (outwardly visible) action. How long will that take?
I also see a lot of people posting knee-jerk emotional reactions to provocative events. To them:
YOU ARE WATCHING A MOVIE
We’re supposed to be the ones who keep our cool through to the ending. Some of us have forgotten that. Do you really think that after all this planning, after making it this far, that the plan would be allowed to fall through at the very end due to something as stupid as petty infighting?!
I read the “gospel of Thomas”. It’s garbage, and has been discredited since the beginning.
No one should be surprised that there were some people a long time ago saying “the church is wrong, I have the real answers here in this text I
wrotefound”. Such a thing would happen regardless of who is correct. You can’t prove the church has been corrupt all the way back to first generations of christians using the mere existence of heretics as evidence.The question remains: Why would God allow “true christianity” to die out so quickly?
