What do you think?
I like to read the Bible
But I like to read it in an unconventional way, like I believe the essenes did in the time of Jesus.
Most people read the Bible like a Novel, or like a History book, and I dont believe that is wise.

I mostly read like you would normally read a Book, but when I encounter a passage that doesnt appear to make sense, I study it carefully. This way is the way the secrets of the ancients are stored.
And I also believe the Bible was written by men, so this men made mistakes, and something HAD to get lost in the Greek translation in II century BC.

So I dont believe everything the Bible says, but I take the things I believe in my heart to be true, and I tend to meditate on those things.
Normally, I research more than the Bible says, like the hidden meaning of the natural elements and other metaphors (widely used by wise men).

To give an example, if we manage to be just and wise in the eyes of God, we generate Light, sacred fire; and like natural fire, one little flame can light a whole forrest on fire; like Jesus did.

Jesus was indeed an incendiary.

But my limit is not the Bible, I love to research into all religious texts of different cultures. Most have very similar teachings.

Is it normal??

Yeap, I also believe Jesus may have been an essene; along with Mary and Joseph, John the Baptist, his brother James the Just, ammong others.

The essence were the ones that refused to fight for land or power, and went to meditate to the mountains in order to keep the Sacred pact of "thou shall not kill".
Hey humble_dude found another crackpot to play with. How nice.
I can find deeper meanings in the macarena.
Crazy dude, it was me who posted this.
So I take it you dont read the Bible? you should man, is full of Wisdom.
Maybe, who knows?
If you find your inner-self dancing to the macarena, and reach Nirvana through its dancing Wisdom, then you may be right.
Don't dbble in other religions they will stear ou wrong. The Bible has everything you need in it. As you said some thing s get your intrest up. THats he thing tha he wants you to know at this time.
MMM, sorry my friend, I dont share your opinion about this.

I believe we all can learn things from: Buddhism, Tantra, Gnosis, Bible apocryphae in Old and New testament, Hermetism, Zoroatrism, Induism, inner alchemy, etc. etc.

You would be surprised how things just match between those, after all, they all come from the same source.

Once I read Gnosis and alchemy, I understood Genesis, and Apocalipse.

With Buddhism, I understood the path to follow.

With Zoroastrism, I understood the meaning of the White Light and sacred fire references in the Bible.

With Tantra, I understood the sexual energy, practices, and references to it in Genesis.

With Rastafarism, I understood the unification of all religions, into one, that is our own.

Anyway, I believe we shouldnt be closed minded at all the Wisdom and love the Masters of mankind have come to teach us.

Shalom

This dude was awesome, of course, not after he was "crucified" by the USA.
Awwwww thats a shame. Maybe you don't have another crackpot to play with? I thought it sounded like you, but I thought you wouldn't go as far as to agree with yourself...would you?
hahaha, well, my intention was to sign it, as my post; I just didnt do it right.

I am a very insocial person, out of personal preference. Is because quite frankly I find most people very boring.
You may see me as a geek or something, I love books, I read the Bible and all ancient texts I can get my hands on. I am just so thirsty of knowledge and Wisdom.
I also like TV (=.

But most of all, I thank God I have my wife, because she understands me, and give me the best company one could ask for.

Be well my brother
when i read fiction i prefer john steinbeck or kurt vonnegut.
Fiction is just a bit different from philosophical metaphors written by wise men; and stored as milleniums pass. But you can read fiction if you want, that will make you smarter (=.
i like not to read the bible since its full of shit and bad histories no stephen king is better to write stories
Its a book, Like any other book. Its like a soap oprah of there time; or its like harry potter, but harry dose not get killed by the jews.

W/e its a book.
