(http://twitter.com/patrickbrinksma/statuses/8849485905). With regards to the rule, it will change. One day we will be selfish enough.Patrick Brinksmahttp://twitter.com/patrickbrinksmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-35786762451118587012010-02-10T23:33:34.504+01:002010-02-10T23:33:34.504+01:00Yes, you're right, and you prove my point too
...Yes, you're right, and you prove my point too<br /><br />The words of Jesus still hold up, but you'd have to read them in their untarnished form: the Gospel of Thomas (http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html) is a perfect example of how he was an enlightened man, asking nasty questions like Socrates had 500 years before, and rejecting pharisees, sabbath, fasting, praying and other "lies" as he dubbed some of them<br /><br />Logion 3: Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you<br /><br />That still survives in Luke 17:21 (http://bible.cc/luke/17-21.htm) and, as you see, there is growing conservatism trying to "close that gap" over the last 10+ years<br /><br />Having said that, you do prove my point: people largely listen to the Church in order to understand Jesus' words. You form an exception, and think for yourself. As do others, in growing numbers - fortunately, but that's still not changing the ruleMartijn Linssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573419401627232560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-7810887127138829132010-02-10T22:46:13.701+01:002010-02-10T22:46:13.701+01:00Just something that popped up: The words of Jesus ...Just something that popped up: The words of Jesus were said in the context of the time and space he lived in. They were not meant for us living in the current time and space.<br />This also applies to the Bible, a book who was initially received and interpreted by someone in alignment with his Inner Being. It is amazing how we humans have hold on to that book, creating interpretation over interpretation.Patrick Brinksmahttp://twitter.com/patrickbrinksmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-37235658703470566902010-02-10T00:27:29.623+01:002010-02-10T00:27:29.623+01:00Yes, exactly.

And indeed if our perception of that messenger changes, we value the content different?Patrick Brinksmahttp://twitter.com/patrickbrinksmanoreply@blogger.com
