The Identity of the Attackers? Part 2 Subject: Re: THE MATRIX as a prophecy concerning the fate of Christianity (Jews and Muslims read!!)

Actually, we all see reality more or less the same way, (except some people, and children who have the ability to see ghosts) but depending on individual bias, and bad memories, and changing memories, people describe things differently, and believe reality differently, as you said, based on other beliefs, whether or not bias. Face it, most humans are liars/assumption makers, and the rest are truly bias and/or have memory problems. Sometimes however, strange things DO happen, and then the liars because those who call them liars. I don't mean to attack your statement. It is perfectly fine the way it is.
> It is an amazing thought when you think that there are as many > different realities as there are humans alive. > What would happen if all but 10 people on earth suddenly died? Would everyone else's realities cease to exist? The question is, Is reality absolute? If it isn't, can it still be called reality? Since you said before: "each sees reality (singular) through their own perspetive" then you said "there are as many realities as there are humans" so you can see why I am yet again confused by your statements. I will assume for now you mean "as many different perspectives of reality as there are humans". Again, I don't mean to attack you, just want to clearify.

Who said Herod died the same year as the supposed "slaughter of the innocents"? To the ignorant, Jesus could have been born in 7 BC, and 2 years later the "slaughter", and Herod died the next year, in 4 BC. > Once again making the 6bc birth dating > looks suspicious because how can he > be a young child yet King Herod still > be in the story since he was already > passed on? Completely right! NO WHERE in the gospels does it say how old Jesus was when Herod died, or how many years later Herod died after attention was drawn to Jesus by the magi. This means Jesus could have been 18 when Herod died! There is one mistake/lie in the gospels that is throwing everyone off. The "slaughter of the innocents" never took place. It was made up for two reasons: it makes Jesus seem extra-ordinary, and it fulfilled some supposed "prophecy" in Matthew. Jesus was already 12 (young child, not a baby) when the magi came looking for him, and that is when Herod tried to kill Jesus personally, but he fled to Egypt. What kind of king would slaughter thousands of babies just because some particular child was born? The king would find that child and kill it, not thousands of babies. This is Matthew's demonization of Herod. But like I said, Jesus was 12 when this occured, and Herod died when Jesus was 18. Most people of this opinion believe Jesus was only 8 when the magi came looking for him, and that he died about that same time.

I just don't like your statements. They make me sick, not so much because of what do say, but because of what you do not say. I could take your statements to mean that there are many unknowns about THIS world, right here, not some far off (as if) galaxy with many other (as if) worlds, but I think you mean it more like "this world is not everything", or "this isn't the real world". You describe this world as a "prison", and an "illusion". Don't act like you agree with me if you don't. Just say flat out that you DISAGREE. I said quite clearly THIS IS THE REAL WORLD, and although there are illusions, and many unknowns, even illusions are made from REALITY, and this is not the issue at hand. I believe you are just trying to find some way to let yourself off the hook, some way to allow yourself to continue living in your dream world, your illusion, your lie, your pathetic life in all its selfishness.

You say: "reality...is looked at in different ways...and they are all valid" Thus, you call me a liar, because you said reality is not absolute. Why do people like you have such a hard time saying reality is absolute? Because they fancy their own opinion so much, that they don't want to admit they are wrong? Damn it. How can I talk to people such as yourself who believe that whatever they (or anyone) believes (no matter how wrong) is just as valid as anything elses beliefs. You are living in a dream world. The matrix is a lie. Lies do not exist. If you are unable to wake up from the dream, how will you ever realize that your beliefs are WRONG? > 1. <snip, didn't make any sense> > > 2.

(The eastern religions tend to use the lower-case, upper-case > swithc to denote the two) This make much more sense. I think the example helped, but the difference between reality and actuality I didn't even take to heart. THEY ARE THE SAME THING. Stop inventing (ok maybe someone did first) absurd wording for simple ideas. (Note to children out there: Do not pay any attention to this man's strange ideas. Everything can be explained in simple, understandable language. Concepts such as the trinity are COMPLETE BUNK.) Now I will explain the example you just used: A whistle is blown. It emits a sound on a high frequency. The human ear is unable to hear the sound on this frequency. The dog's ear is not like the human ear. It can hear the sound. Thus, the dog responds to the sound whereas the human does not. One reality, one actuality, because those two words mean the same thing. Another example: A child sees a ghost, and says: "I see a ghost". The child's parent says: "Where?" Child: "Right in front of me." The parent does not see the ghost. The GHOST IS THERE, but the parent's eyes are not the same as the child's eyes. Another example: A man says: "God exists." Another man says: "God does not exist." GOD DOES EXIST, but each man is just stating their BIAS. Find one example where reality has not been consistent with itself. > > 3. <snip, is this supposed to be scientific? This is unscientific nonsense, and makes no sense to anyone with a scientific, analytical mind.> You did say however, "Therefore they see each individual reality as being just as valid as every other individual reality" Yet, as I already said, show me one example where reality is not consistent with itself. Do you think just because you can refract different colors out of light means reality (at present) is different to each human? Look, if it is, it would be a very small difference, even as the shade of one color, and the only differences from color to color would not be found here. Thus, reality here is absolute to only 99%, which is close enough for our purposes to call it "absolute". I do agree however that light is the best example you will ever find of the sevenfold spirit of God, (See Revelation) God being the light, and the sevenfold spirit being the seven colors. Thus, all seven become reality instead of just the one, and this explains how reality CAN CHANGE, (I never said it was absolute through time and space) but right now at present, here, it is absolute for each of us, (to 99%) and this is at least what I would like you to agree on. > 4. <snip> People of this category typically choose to be > behind the scenes, and not to make too much of a stink about anything, yet > seek to assist any human in need.

You said "they don't make to much of a stink about anything" and yet "they SEEK to assist any human in need." Certainly this implies they DO MAKE A STINK about humans in need? If so, these are the ones who will resist evil, and thereby live. Yet, if these are the ones who resist evil, they must not respect the reality of that evil, and therefore it also makes no sense why you said this type "respects all the realities of everyone".

I never said each person's perception of reality was absolute, (that is obviously not true) just that the reality of this world (right here and now) was absolute, and that more or less every HUMAN'S perceptions of reality are also the same, (discounting seers and babies, an children with 'abilities') but that it is mostly bias that gives us different perspectives of that absolute reality. You are trying to justify false beliefs by calling them alternate perceptions of reality, when they are in fact it is not an issue of perception, but bias perspectives.

======== Subject: Re: Is anything sinful? Not to you according to Paul... From: "Xinoehpoel" <tesnal@psl.moc> Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 09:27:09 -0700 -------- I remember replying to your post the last time you posted this exact same question in this newsgroup. Yes, sin is only an illusion created by offences. Yes, even something non-offending to another human being can still be a sin. Why? Because it offends the Creator. If it did not, what else is a sin? Thus, you are wrong that the Creator only detests sin for the reason you gave, psychological twisting. Personally, I think it sounds like something Paul would say. Perhaps you should become a Christian. Paul allowed abortion and homosexuality in Romans 14:14, whereas I think, although not in all cases, they are sins. Others would say if you love others, you've fulfilled the whole law, but I disagree. I think that is the least you must do. If you are a Jew, of course there are other laws, like Sabbath. But I think everyone is subject to the natural laws of guilt by non-resistance. No one shall stand idly by when evil is being or has been committed to another human. This one thing I believe will cause the greatest amount of people to sin in these last days, so I mention it in particular. Some people would say if you just drift though life being a good person you will be saved. I do not believe salvation has anything to do with believing in Jesus, but I do not think being a good person is enough either. There were some good people just living harmless lives before God destroyed them all in the flood. This goes to show that you must also take an active role against evil or else God will be offended that you are not offended by the evil. I do not recommend killing people for it, but testifying against them, and non-violent acts of "terrorism" should be enough. If there are really bad people doing very bad things, then perhaps killing is ok in those situations, even necessary when God calls for it. Capital punishment would be perfectly ok, not ideal, (even Cain was just banished) but there are some people who do not deserve to live. One of the reasons Cain was only banished is because it was the first murder (and he repented) and God wanted to slowing make the punishment worse and worse, because Cain wasn't forewarned of the punishment, and also so people wouldn't want to follow in those footsteps. The problem these days is the ones executed are heroes and freedom fighters, not the true criminals, such as the ones doing the executing.

Interesting, I've never heard about this Jannaeus. Seeing as how Jesus had "close friends" in Bethany, where Mary and Martha lived, he could have fled to Egypt from there. After all, Jesus would get Herod's attention most easily in Jerusalem for his miracles, where also the wise men went looking for him!

You're right about the confusion, and for this reason there is little we can know for sure.

And how did Matthew know the Magi's dreams? The redactor writes from an omniscient point of view, typical of fiction novels. > > 13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph > in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother > and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is > going to search for the child to kill him." As I said, if Jesus ever did flee, it was after he was born and because of the miracles he was performing, when he was about 12. > > 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night > and left for Egypt, > > 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod.

Yea sure. This fiction worked up the time the magi came looking for Jesus shows a misunderstanding about the age of Jesus at the time this occured. This massacre is interesting for one important reason. Luke for instance would never demonize the government like this, but Matthew seems to have no problem doing so, but perhaps it furthers the case that Jesus was someone extra-ordinary if Herod wanted him dead. Besides, the Hebrews hated Herod and the Roman government and would have no problem doing this much the way many Americans have no problem calling Clinton a murderer and displaying a list of all the people he has had murdered. There was also a "blood eclipse" in this year, and perhaps it sparked the redactor's imagination. > > 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: > > 18 "A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel > weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because > they are no more."[7] Here is another perfect example of a non-prophecy being credited to Jesus. There may have been certain Jews suggesting passages like these were prophecies, because after all, it does seem rather odd that Matthew suggests these are prophecies in the first place. > > 19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream > to Joseph in Egypt > > 20 and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to > the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's > life are dead." > > 21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the > land of Israel. > > 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in > place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there.
