Redefining all primary elements including Faith, the Word, Law, Baptism, the Trinity and especially the Resurrection, this new interpretation questions the validity and origins of all Christian tradition; it overturns all natural law ethics and theory. At stake is the credibility of several thousand years of religious history and moral teaching. What history, science and religion have agreed was not possible, has happened. <br /><br />Using a synthesis of scriptural material from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha , The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Nag Hammadi Library, and some of the worlds great poetry, it describes and teaches a single moral LAW, a single moral principle, and offers the promise of its own proof; one in which the reality of God responds directly to an act of perfect faith with a demonstration of His omnipotence, an individual intervention into the natural world; 'raising up the man' correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries. Intended to be understood metaphorically, where 'death' is ignorance and 'Life' is knowledge, this experience, personal encounter of transcendent power and moral purpose is the 'Resurrection', and justification for faith.

Well, we can all do that. But why take it seriously?crisp familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824869228287976903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-2224965917967890402010-10-05T09:21:38.744-05:002010-10-05T09:21:38.744-05:00"Wright also failed to consider the possibili..."Wright also failed to consider the possibility that Jesus' body was spirited away from the tomb by a band of rogue leprechauns from candy mountain."<br /><br />LOL!!!Saint and Sinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166699860672840738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-48860311080693803582010-10-05T08:54:09.496-05:002010-10-05T08:54:09.496-05:00The tomb was not empty.

...Looking for a Dan Brownian movie option perhaps?<br /><br />Just an honest question from a seminarian, what is the basis for apocraphyal and gnostic manuscripts in literary and textual analysis, let alone making theological claims from them that trump cannon? Another scholar, Thom Stark, entirely denies Christ's divinity based on non-canon sources. Is it considered academically unsound to treat these sources as perhaps contextually enlightening, but inferior to the the primary works in scripture, and why does it seem some tend to hold these secondary works as somehow more intellectually believable?David Brushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121480271119877933noreply@blogger.com
