Criteria for being a christian (Page 5)

tularcitas: Zan, although I am Jewish because my mom is, I am secular. However, I have a interest in Kabbalah..Not the Kabbalah this is mistakenly called Jewish mysticism, but rather a way of exploring the purpose of our lives. I feel there is a Creator and that we are aspects and attributes of Creator...here in this physical world in this human form. I feel that Abraham was the first Kabbalist and the wisdom of Kabbalah was freely exchanged until the second destruction of the Temple..At which point this wisdom went underground, in a sense. For instance, the books of Moses, Torah were written in allegory and their true meaning is hidden. The Zohar offers an explanation as to the allegorical meanings.

Zanjan: If you're secular, you can't say you're Jewish and get away with it - religion doesn't describe a blood relationship. The inheritance of the Kingdom of God is not inheritance of religion. No offense intended, it's just a fact of life and truth of God.

Most people don't realize there's more than one Kabbala - the Jewish, the Christian and the Hermetic but none are actually religions - they're schools of human thought.

Wasn't it you that questioned the need to intellectualize Faith? If the Word of God is perfect, there's no need to guide anyone by our own, imperfect ways. If God wanted something to be hidden, it would remain cloaked from the eyes of ALL.

You see, the Revelators of God reveal to everyone; their very title means "disclosure". When a Great Light comes into the world, it touches all; thus, all benefit by it. Thus, He says He is the Lord of abounding grace, the Source of life to all. Unlike humans, They don't deceive or hide. You may receive the Words or forget the Words but understanding is NOT transferable.

In short, this all boils down to who one recognizes as an authority, since, technically, one can't give authority to anyone. Both Jew and Christian KNOW that God, Himself, is the only authority in Divine matters; that He, alone, Names His Mediators. They aren't among the uninformed.

Zanjan: Brian, nobody can divide Christians better than Christians themselves - history is an open book, eh. If the world is broken, who's to blame? Whereas, the Kingdom of Heaven has never been broken.
