No actually it is an abstract concept so not related to humans! So a view of the mind: so what is the point of a simple view of the mind?The astronomical difference between the Self and the monotheist vision is that the Self does not refer to an anthropomorphic concept, and that changes everything ...
Still basic, the laws are not preventive but curative, without thieves no flights and no flights no laws relating thereto. The 10 lyrics are curative, intended to straighten out what is twisted and must therefore be placed in their historical context.I do not share this opinion at all.
There are many other models of very old societies with taboos.
The command on the flight concerns only a materialistic society where the notion of ownership is anchored in the socio-culture.
For many people this notion simply does not make sense ...
they are not commandments, they are an alliance, a mutual contract, and this major point is misunderstood. The reason given is: " When the nations around you see the blessings that are yours, they will turn to you and ask who your god is so we follow him. "(Always in a context where atheism is not a dominant religion) or more scripturally" This will be your wisdom in the eyes of the people because when they have knowledge of all these laws, they will say "she can only be wise and intelligent this nation! Indeed where are the people large enough to have divinities as accessible as the Lord our god is for whenever we invoke it... »Deuteronomy 4-5Moreover, the 10 commandments were only for the Hebrew.
Always by whom? Atheist historians? Pagans-Christians (just read the Catholic comments of the TOB who have always known how to take the direction of the wind!)It is commonly accepted that most biblical facts have been greatly exaggerated.
Completely wrong. These are only suppositions that seek to reconcile historically more or less known natural events and apply them to biblical texts. (like the books of Mordillat and Prieur!) Or none is really adaptable. So where the original texts are false (and no one can affirm it as proving it) or antisemitic rationalism seeks to diminish the meaning that these texts seek to communicate.Theological studies have shown that Moses did not travel in the Red Sea ... but took advantage of the waters of Lake Tanis to retreat to escape Pharaoh.
We must not fall into the trap of these cinematic representations. It's a fiction, not a report with scientific or cultural documents in support.We are therefore very far from the myth (thank you Hollywood) of the waters opening as if by magic to let the "righteous" pass.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are silent about an Essene Jesus. They say nothing but the customs of a particular religious group and not representative of the variety of the time: Pharisees, Saduceans, Essenes, Zealots, etc.For Christ, the gap between the writing of the Dead Sea and the Gnostic text describes a character completely different from the biblical superman who raises the dead and distributes the loaves.
What a mix!The Hellenic culture is very much there, to convert a maximum of people the history of Christ has been largely modified in order to stuck to the cult of the time such as that of Hercules, Mitra, Appolon etc ...
Still next to the plate! While some are attracted by supernatural manifestations such as metaphysical apparitions, but this is the lot of a small fringe (2,2 billions of "Christian" individuals) the Christ Jesus was not followed for his super powers ( even if some saw in them the power of God) but for his teaching and his practice as all the wise men of this planet.Many "believers" have faith only in the fact that such or such a character was endowed with "superpowers".
Apart from the superstitious, the thirsty for the extraordinary, of course! If you studied the conversions closely, you would find that they are rather ordinary, they mainly come from an awareness that in religious language one can call a revelation as for the disciples of Ramana Maharshi or Buddha. Apart from those who made Jesus an incarnate god, the others only see him as a master (or rabbi in Hebrew) and what comes up regularly is “teach us” and not “do miracles”.If tomorrow it was said that Christ was simply a sage, and that the supernatural character of his coming into the world was an allegory, I wonder if the faithful would be so numerous?
Finally, what is a pity is this mixture between historical reality and more or less intellectual fabrications and abstractions.
