I must ask myself, do I see the same thing around me today?
And since I do, I must ask myself, do I believe the people saying it today?
No, I do not. Therefore . . .
You make me think of a child who is unable see over the crowd, but if a parent lifts them they will be able to see more!
Yes you still can use your reasoning, but if one don't allow themselves to be Spiritually lift they will not be able to see!
Why would you assume I won't let myself be lifted?
Spiritually, I believe I'm on quite solid ground. I believe in most of the teachings attributed to Jesus, in fact. I believe he likely existed, and he was likely a wise person. I understand why folks would choose to follow his teachings. It's just historically that I disagree with ya'll.
I don't believe he was the son of god. Because others today claim the same, and I don't believe them either. People today claim to work miracles. I don't believe them either. I suspect fraud or coincidence when some 'faith healer' cures someone's cancer.
I'm just applying the same logic and reasoning to the historical stories.
