And what of 2 Corinthians 4:18 that I cited above which says “we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal” ? You don’t see the consistency of that statement with Platonism?
It’s obvious to me now, that most Modern-Postmodern “Christians” are only that, Christian in name only. I realize now that this is why ‘Christianity’ never took to me when I was a child, teenager, young adult, etc. I always felt their Deception and Lies, Falsity. Fake Christians. False Christians. Anti-Christians. How many Christians today are truly Christian? 1000? 100? What’s the number, the percentage of Western Civilization? How many are Liars? How many, here, on this forum, are Liars?
Probably most.
What is the Truth about Christ. That’s the important question. I feel if anybody today has an actual connection to The Christ, then He would appear through Action, not Words. Show me your Goodness. Show me your Good deeds, if you have any. Show me your selflessness. And then show me your selfishness. Prove to me that you know the difference. I know that most, 95% of the population, cannot. Most people are selfish, and stupid, which is a deadly combination. Those who are selfish, and smart, at least we know the difference, that we are not necessarily Good. Goodness comes only through Self-sacrifice. Few people know this. Even fewer still, do it.
And only Christ knew it, and did it, 100%. He knew His sacrifice.
And I know that Christ knew the deepest truths, that if you want to do Good in this world, then all its Evil shall come for you.
To do an ounce of Good, the world will never forgive you. It will Crucify you, for making Good possible. For showing the rest of the world, that it’s possible.
If you believe that you have done Good in your life …that you helped walk an old woman across the street …or gave a beggar a few coins …but you were not punished for it.
…Then did you really do Good?
Maybe a pure heart is required. Maybe it’s all-or-nothing?
your misfortune is that you have painted what you are all over your nickname, my advantage…I claim normality, not being a demi-God, a God, a mythical figure, Hitler, an adventurer, a prophet, somebody who will resurface forgotten and misunderstood Ancient Greeks or others…so my normality is normal…for a pretentious clown, his normality is a proof of his pretences and weakness. you claim much, show not much.
