Otherwise, what's the point? <BR/><BR/>I'm still genuinely curious where you got Jesus' study-abroad-in-Asia idea? If Mormons believe in the trip to North America, who believes in the other?BK/CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973092364301462495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112981.post-1112308521603411402005-03-31T14:35:00.000-08:002005-03-31T14:35:00.000-08:00Your most brilliant post evs?

That'll preempt some comments from the peanut gallery. <BR/><BR/>On to today's post: Hey, did you know that the 3 wise men were Iraqis? And hey, where's that trip to Egypt to flee King Herrod?<BR/><BR/>I'm with you until age 12. By my recollection, he didn't start preaching to the "masses" until much later. Temple visits? Sure. Question: Where'd you get the trip to Asia to study eastern religions?, I've not heard that one before. And, the farm parable, that's grace, buddy. It gives chumps like you and me a leg to stand on next to Mother Teresa. Besides, when it comes down to being fair, I know I don't want the eternity that I <EM>deserve</EM>. As far as I'm concerned, God's being "fair" wouldn't get anybody into heaven to hang out with him.<BR/><BR/>I saw The Last Temptation in college and remember feeling really offended by it. It mixed facts (as I see them) w/ fiction to a maddening extent. I know, I'm supposed view movies from outside my own biases, but when it comes down to the life of Jesus (and all that the way he lived his life implies for me), I couldn't. That movie is kinda similar to republishing the Ten Commandments with "postmodern" revisions. No thanks.<BR/><BR/>As the black eyed peas are wont to say, let's get it started.BK/CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973092364301462495noreply@blogger.com
