Jesus did not rise from physical death - he rose from spiritual death, and we must do the same.
Regardless of whether Jesus actually walked upon this Earth or not, it does not matter. The sayings attributed to him exist, and millions of people believe in the Bible. There is a reason for this - the truth is in the Bible; it has just been misinterpreted and hidden by myths. The time has come to reinterpret the Bible based on the evidence and what we know now that could not be known before this point in history. For the sake of interpretation, let's take for granted that Jesus did walk on this Earth.
The only reference Jesus himself makes in the Bible to the resurrection is this: "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen." - Revelation 1:18
The rest of the references and stories were make up by scholars and uninspired people who couldn't help but misinterpret what Jesus said and meant. This includes past leaders and emperors who wanted to promote a dogma, control people politically, and make a very powerful myth that people had no choice but to accept in the distant past, because it was the only explanation. Read about the Romans or take a Western Civilization class, and you will see what I mean about the corruption and brutality.
There has been a lot of violence and corruption intertwined with the misinterpretations, which in turn has perpetuated myths that distort the true message of Jesus. The myths, the false interpretations, have become so popular that they persist to this day, even in light of what we know today and the evidence we can see. However, these myths have also preserved the truth in the teachings of Jesus and the Bible to the present, and for the first time in history, we can completely separate the truth from the deception.
We have advanced so much, so rapidly, and we are still falling for myths and living in separation and ignorance. It is time to see the true gospel, the real "good news."
Now is the time that we shall stop sinning, missing the mark:
Life in the Present“I come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10
Jesus spoke those words before he died on the cross. "I was blind, but now I can see." "I asleep, but now I am awake." "I was dead, but now I am alive." Jesus was spiritually dead, blind to life, and he was reborn to eternal life (the present). He spoke the truth so that we also may wake up to life. We are to wake up to life, as Jesus did. Everything Jesus said and did was to get us to wake up to the life that is eternally present.
Mankind is in a state of waking sleep, and we are currently dead to life. People think that eternal life is somewhere in the future, at some distant location up in the sky, but it is always present. We must seek the truth to overcome our deceptive minds and rise from sleep to know life here and now.
People spend so much time worshiping the messenger instead of doing what the message says, and they miss the message all together, caught in a delusion of emotional valence toward a graven image of the messenger. It is not the messenger that matters; it is the message. It is not the prophet that is important, but what passed through the prophet that is important.
“Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46)
It is imperative that we ditch the outdated, corrupt, and obviously false misinterpretations and beliefs that plague our minds and separate mankind. We need to reinterpret (not rewrite) religious scripture in light of the historical evidence, present knowledge, and discoveries from science and philosophy. There is much wisdom in religious writing, but it is shrouded by misinterpretation and fear of straying from tradition and blind faith, which is perpetuated by anxiety about the religious notion of "eternal hell," off in the future somewhere. This belief is a gripping trap of the mind, manifested from fear of death, that keeps people from seeking truth and checking things for themselves.
People currently look for the truth backwards when it comes to religion. Religious people take for granted that what is in scripture is true, misinterpret it, and try to find it in the real world. When they cannot, they say you need blind faith that it is true, even in the face of hard evidence and much more feasible, rational explanations. It makes them look foolish and hurts the credibility of religious scripture. We just need to do the opposite and take for granted that what is in reality is true, what the evidence says is true, and then look for it in religious scripture. Does that seem so ridiculous? Instead of putting it off as blasphemy, check it out for yourself, and you will see it is true.
We need to "make the two one," as Jesus said, with science and religion. The evidence is just as "sacred," if not more sacred than the Bible, the Koran, the Sutras... etc. The fact is, too many people are involved in religions to just outright ditch them. We need to separate the truth from the deception in everything, including supposedly "infallible" scriptures (a short history lesson makes this notion seem silly). We are not under Roman rule anymore, and we can think for ourselves. We can see what the evidence is saying and check it for ourselves. We need to separate the "wheat from the chaff," as Jesus said, and we can now do that with what we know and the evidence we can see at present. The Bible was written for now - we can now separate the wheat from the chaff.
Read this book to learn the true message of Jesus and to see the truth in the Bible.
Be honest with yourself. Have you ever seen any miracles happen, anything out of the ordinary? Do you know of anyone coming back alive from physical death? Is there any evidence for the supernatural, or is it just our own minds dreaming? Any evidence for a savior outside of ourselves? Stop trying to play make believe, and lay your burden (deceptive mind) down.
We part of the universe, experiencing the universe, and for the first time in history, we can know how it works and how we fit in.
Everyone wants to believe in the supernatural, the extraordinary, because they cannot see the natural, the ordinary as it is. Reality is not as popular as fantasy, because the mind distorts reality and does not allow people to see how amazing and magical life is as it is. Magic is in every moment of life; you just need to realize the truth to see it. There are no miracles. It is all a miracle.
Life is the ultimate "miracle."
We are to rise/awaken to Life, as Jesus did.
We are to rise/awaken to Life, as Jesus did.
