"Men and brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. For David is not ascended into the heavens." (Acts 2:29,34)
"And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man." -- John 3:13
Apparently these people do not know their bible, it says that no man has seen God.
The version of the Bible dear to my heart is the old classic Hurlbut's Story of the Bible" - 1901 release. I keep that one with me and read it.
You know, to me Jesus is like, without sounding insulting, the image I see from Mel Gibson's "Passion" - Gibson has a genius of which I greatly admire, and even though I have always viewed Jesus in such a light in my own heart, to me Jesus is so handsome and such a brave and powerful, and certainly Son of God, that if he came to me what man could not follow him? It is so easy to see why they did.
I am not a Christian, so I cannot speak on authority regardin Christianity, but I certainly love Jesus and I hope you can understand that.
If you are wondering what religion I am, I cannot give you a name for it, but I can say I am very "old school", an "old soul" if you will, I like things traditional, and I actually enjoy the old things and old ways and even the pomp and ceremony. I also appreciate folks such as yourself how take the time to study these things.
Of Christians, I like them all, but I particularly like the old school, meaning the Catholic religion, Eastern Orthodox and such, but I am also very, very impressed with the Mormons.
Anyway, I hope I am not offending anyone.
