[QUOTE="tony, post: 96055, member: 2152"] Dear seeker3k ji I was brought up in a christian society and whilst I believed in God, I found the stories in the bible hard to believe and so asked many questions about there validity. All the stories where wrote many years after the event and are greatly exaggerated. the reason why the jews would not accept Jesus as the saviour would have meant that they where doing wrong and would therefore lose the controll of its people, the hierachy of the jewish church was corrupt and cruel, treating its people very badly. Jesus told of a different way to reach God, one of doing only good things to other men, turn the other cheek as opposed to an eye for an eye principle that the jews believed in. As for jesus being the son of God and the immaculate conception, this to is probably exaggerated as well. I was told that the meaning of the word virgin at that time meant to be of Child bearing age, which Mary was, and we are all the sons/daughters of God are we not. When jesus said it is through me that you will reach God, he probably meant that he was teaching the right right way to praise god and that by following his teachings salvation could be achieved. As you pionted out that the bible was written in latin and that the commoner wasnt allowed to read it, that very fact shows how easy it was to be changed, true meanings being lost in translation, bits being added to glorify the stories. the leaders of the christian church where open to corruption alot seeing the power they had and the riches that could be made.
