Same with the bible writers, they all copy the first gospels to the letter, right Elv?- Actually the textual evidence shows that they DID NOT. Nice fantasy you have though. You might try learning about the extant textual evidence before spouting off lies concerning them. cormac 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice try though. cormac yet another great use of the word fact= fascinating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dejarma 5,323 #2204 Posted January 24, 2020 this is my serious opinion: IF, if there is some kinda galactic federation out there; we (us humans) will not have contact with them until all this religious BS is put aside: 'eradicated, for want of a better word' I honestly feel it's possible that they are waiting for us to eventually get out of the <belief in gods/ deities & religion etc> evolution stage before they make contact.... Probably something they've waited for many times before== who knows? I don't, that's for sure 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus could have been a 'galactic federation spokesman'- Jesus said- "I know where I came from and where I am going, but you have no idea where I come from or where I am going...I am not of this world...I'll tell you things hidden since the creation of the world" (John 8:14/ 8:23/10:38/Matt 13:35) Hey Spock will you listen to an alien visitor?

You suggested the idea of a "Galactic Federation" out there and I liked that as it shows you can think outside the box, you can probably trace your DNA bloodline to the ancient intellectual giants sent to improve the human gene pool... "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God had to send him somewhere to start spreading the message, and the jews were the best of a bad bunch, but at least he had a 3-year run before they killed him. If he'd have been sent to north America he'd have been scalped in 5 minutes, and if sent to Africa he'd have been straight into the cookpot.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus, if the Gospel of Thomas can be trusted, appeared to be quite perplexed himself, by the mysteries of the Divine.... (29) Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders.
