Christianity In The Eyes Of The Serpent

Many people come to believe or think that a Two Thousand Year Old Jewish Zombie Can make you live for ever if you eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, So that He can remove and evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat an apple off a magical tree in a wonderland... Well that is how I have heard it be put before. and I wish I had a good answer at the time, god forgive me.

Early Christians were called cannibals by the Romans because they believed in remembering their savior's sacrifice through communion. These kinds of attacks are nothing new. And in
response to the question: What is Christianity? My answer is: It is the belief that God is love, and that the ultimate expression of Godliness is to love, and the ultimate expression of love is sacrifice.

Two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus came on the scene claiming to be God. He didn't come to start a religion: he sought after non-religious people to love them, to heal them, and to forgive them (to let them know that God loved them even when they did wrong - it was as common then as it is today to think that God or the cosmos or karma is mad at you because you have done wrong). He met people's physical needs to show how God can meet our spiritual needs - and not just needs, like when he fed the five thousand, but our wants as well, like when he
replenished the wine at a wedding party.

Ultimately, he was sentenced by the masses to suffer the most horrific execution because 1. He wouldn't deny that he was the Son of God, 2. He didn't stir up a Jewish militia to overthrow the Roman occupation, which is what everyone expected of the messiah, 3. He annoyed the
religious leaders by freeing people from pointless rules and regulations and offering forgiveness with no strings attached(I got that from a lotion bottle at work haha). He fulfilled every prophecy made by the Jewish prophets concerning the coming messiah, the Son of God. Jewish prophets also correctly predicted the military rise and fall of Alexander the Great. One of Jesus' disciples predicted that Israel would once again be a nation. This prophecy was fulfilled in the 20th
century I believe.

Jesus has had more of an effect on history than any other human being, so much so that
despite the attempt to convert years into before and after "common era (BCE and CE)," year zero is based on what was originally thought to be the year of his birth (BC and AD - Before
Christ, and Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord"). So to whom this blog may concern every time you look at a calendar in the following year, think to yourself, "It has been two thousand and nine years since the estimated birth of the jewish zombie." As distorted as it may have become,
Christianity at its core is the idea of love. Perfect love. And that's something that will never give up on you.

I hope confused people continue thinking on this subject, because some of the most brilliant minds have converted to Christianity as they sought to disprove it.

Melody

"When you listen to a song, you only hear the harmony because of the emptiness between the notes. If the song is too full of notes, it becomes nothing but noise. To hear the harmony you have to let the silences have their place in the song. It's like each note is a pearl upon a necklace and the silences are what strings them all together."

Maybe God knows that without his silences in our lives, we will never hear the melody of faith and life
