[link to thehiddenlighthouse.blogspot.com] nw it's very dissapointing that you didn't watch the whole video. the woman kept asking him about his faith and why would a muslim write a book about Jesus, the guy kept answering her question 5 fucking times saying that he is an acadamic with a PHD on Religion. Therefore, it's his job to do research and write a book about Jesus's Life and Time...it has nothing to do with faith, Koran or the Bible. He mentioned that muslims dont believe Jesus was Crucified, while in his book it is written he was crucified. while he questions the virgin birth....Therefore, THIS IS NOT ABOUT FAITH. but only about History. but the woman kept asking the same fucking questions over and over about his faith of Islam and as though 'how dare he' to write a book about Jesus. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 44131425 Canada 07/29/2013 11:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Also that point she made about "why would a democrat" write about Reagan is ridiculous. Many democrats have written about Reagan in particular. He's a significant and intriguing political figure, so people from all ideologies are interested in him and writing about him. I personally am a Christian but I'm fascinated by the life of Mohammed. You don't have to agree 100% with someone's ideologies to find them interesting or write about them in a truthful, non malicious manner. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43999400 That's how I see this. No, they do not believe him to be the Son of God, they do not believe he was resurrected. they claim Jesus was a prophet. we are told “If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him” (Deut. 18:22) they contradict themselves. |

User ID: 35202296 Canada 07/30/2013 08:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And yet that isn't Christ, there was no fighting. It was not political. It was Spiritual: Peace and Love. Jesus has a metaphoric meaning, as does the entire bible. This has to do with Taoism and awakening, as does the entire bible. Starting with genesis 32 30, naming the city Jacob met God, pineal. And Christ, "thine eye be single". This is a metaphor for human being the temple of God and the spirit of Love and Peace (not violence and reactionary), overcoming beast/body and primitive instincts, to gain Higher Mind, the son of man becomes the son of God. The early real Christians were gnostics and essenes. As to the biblical man. He would have been the head of the nazarenes and Essene, and possibly had eastern Tibetan type, Tao type understandings. He did not fight. When human stops waring and fighting he progresses. Last Edited by Sungaze_At_Dawn on 07/30/2013 08:50 AM The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |

User ID: 34763041 United States 07/30/2013 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I watched it finally. While I could be wrong ,this could be merely an academic bias on his part, rather than from his Muslim roots, however, the shift of Christ from the Spiritual Awakened Teacher to a Reactionary, Revolutionary, Standing up politically to the system on behalf of the poor, does have a militant muslim slant. But only can only say its a possibility that he had an agenda, basically making Christ a fighter. Quoting: Sungaze_At_Dawn This doesn't differ too much from Marcus Borg's view of Jesus' rebuke of the "domination systems" of His time. What was unique about Jesus was that He didn't "fight," as you pointed out. So that's where the "militant muslim slant" doesn't compute with me. We become like that to which we are devoted. - Choose wisely. |

...in awe of many things User ID: 26943919 United States 07/30/2013 01:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, I have not read the book, yet, I find its contents very interesting. His book seems clearly based on the personal conclusions he has come to after years of going over as much source material available to him. I have always found it interesting that Islam honors Jesus as a prophet, while revering his mother, Mary. When I was in religion classes at Catholic school, we were introduced to the concept that Mohammed towards the Christianity of his day, and Jesus towards Judaism in his time, both challenged practices by religious leaders that were counter to the very tenets of these religions. We can also add Martin Luther to this mix, who was also inclined to point out how we had gotten off-track when he was compelled to nail his Ninety-Five Theses on the doors of the church at Wittenberg, protesting against clerical abuses, such as the sale of indulgences...setting into motion the Protestant Reformation. In these classes, we were shown that, as Christians, it was our duty to stay true to what we knew to be correct in our hearts, and to be cautious about the ease in which we could stray off the path if we start to bend rules, or, find ways to rationalize actions that are counter to principles. -------- Aslan had the right to come to whatever conclusions his studies lead him to consider as being possible alternative truths. When I was younger, I read that Jesus had lived in India. Through the years, my curiosity has led me to read other alternate views about him, some apparently backed-up but historical documentation. But, what I choose to believe is no one else's business. I have a right to my own opinions. So has Aslan. ======= So, I agree with OP's opinion that the FoxNews commentator did a terrible interview...if we can even call it an interview. I have a feeling that even without reading Aslan's book, I could have done a better job asking him enlightening questions. -- TRUST THE PLAN -- .......WWG1WGA...... ____________________________ still in awe of many things |

Try pulling one of those or even a satirical comic strip on the Mo man and just see what happens. |
