The 'Gods' were aliens. Just look at cave paintings. Jesus didn't perform miracles, he was an alien using his technology to create the illusion of miracles.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

  Some say Shiva was an alien.Mount Kailash where Shiva abides is supposed to have a lot of alien activity.
  
  I have also been called one, not human but from some other planet.Its just an expression.
  
  Then yes its is possible that a higher intelligence was involved.

  Man can connect with the cosmic power and do miracles.
  2000 years later millions follow his words if thats not a miracle what is? The prophets think far ahead.

  I responded to this particular post to establish a clearcut point and yet, as I read down the responses thus far, not one has directly approached the original question with anything close to a clearcut answer.
  
  "Religion" itself speaks to a set of rituals performed for a stated purpose not necessarily dealing with God, Christ or Fred Flintstone. It is generally, however, assigned to faith-based individuals whether they be Christian, Jew or Hindu.
  
  One must remember the term "religion" is a manmade term. Hence, those who may have doubts themselves tend to not showcase their particular set of rituals in a public forum. While one may treat their annual swim in subzero weather as a religion as they do it every year at the same time and on the same date, many might think they're nuts. They themselves perhaps cannot give a justifiable reason other than, "Well, it's what we been doing. Sorta a tradition." Traditions, rituals and religion. Three things that do what? Separate leaders from followers. Followers don't step up. Leaders do. If they truly believe in what they're doing and why. In the end, it ain't about God, it ain't about the Bible and it ain't about Jesus. It's really about you. Just what do you really stand for that you have the guts and intelligence to back up? Critics are a dime a dozen on a good day. Anybody up for taking a crack at a solution?

  hello Grace. nice to 'meet you'.
  Indeed, I'll have a go of it.
  
  1. Let all forms of ideology come together and end the need for such.
  2. Let's begin living by the image of the universe we live in and not by a set, or sets of rules that only limit our ability to be a complete created entity or by an assumed 'logic' or 'reason' -since they too are limited ideologies.

  It hides the truth.It fails to focus on the reason behind our birth and existence on earth. Neither the religion's founder nor the so called messengers have been successful in their mission. They have not taken us to the destiny and we are made to wait for centuries in a hope that the right person will come.
  Hope is still alive but few have been successful in Self Realization and have attained something that was a tough task by the religion.

  The Blue Book says so. HAH! I just used a religious tactic.
  
  To answer the last question, I wouldn't say we are Gods. We are part of god.
  
  It's all interpretation. How do you know he didn't mean "lift you out of darkness" as a metaphor for the technological dark times we were in? I certainly doubt he intended Christianity to be the scientific depressant that it ended up being.

  Wise guy. That's a "religious tactic" that never worked on me. Cite chapter and verse, and please prove to me that your "blue book" is reliable.
  
  As for technological "dark times," prove that our current times are any brighter. Sure, we have internet. We also have internet porn, cyber stalking, and so forth. We have cured disease with adult stem cells voluntarily donated. So we leap to the conclusion that it's permissible to kill human embryos for stem cells that have yielded no cures. We've figured out how to split the atom, which has given us cleaner, more economical means to power our society as well as a means of committing global murder/suicide.
  
  Technological progress will only bring about our destruction without moral and spiritual progress remaining at least two steps ahead of it.

  LOL
  
  Do you?
  
  You are surely aware that Jeebus did not write any scriptures?
  
  Plus of course - there has been 1800 years of fighting over what interpretation to use on what the sheeple who wrote what he did supposedly say really meant to say. You know - "using scripture to interpret scripture." that way - you can get it to say anything you like. Because it is all about "context" lol You know - because a modern day religionist can put an 1800 year old book into context the way a non-believer cannot. It is just coincidence that it then says "gays are evil," or "the death penalty is OK" or whatever it is they want it to say..
  
  The constructive thing to do would be to dispose of the bible in a garbage dump and start looking at ourselves without the ridiculous notion that there is a god.
  
  This is what is holding us back.

I was asking for proof that Jesus was an alien.

As for Jesus words, the most reliable source we have is the Bible. If you're going to toss that, or toss aside all the parts where Jesus worked miracles, rose from the dead, said he was Messiah, was described as the Word of God Incarnate, advocated listening to the religious leaders of the day without following their imperfect examples, and so forth, you don't have much left.

  double_frickposted 15 years agoin reply to this
  yes, but what bible was jesus speaking of? was it compiled as the most used version of today? or even the most accurate of all the versions? probably not.
  
  the bible is corrupted by man.
  even if it were written at one time by PEOPLE that were passing along a message from god, it has been perverted beyond recognition.
  
  so its wise to take the bible with a grain of salt.
  
  that said, its impossible to make assertions, at least spiritually speaking. its a little ridiculous that people try to argue whether god does or does not exist, jesus, bible, devil, magic, etc.
  its all opinion.
  no one knows if jesus was an alien, a psycho, the son of god or didn't exist in the first place.
  
  for anyone to say otherwise, no matter their reason, just proves them a fool.
  
  to add:
  religion is hiding people from their true selves.
  religion is hiding an individuals personal power and sovereignty, knowingly or not.
  
  anyone who believes whole-heartedly any organized religion and all their dogmatic beliefs, rules and laws are severely limited when it comes to true spiritual understanding and enlightenment.

  Stopping cell degeneration? We are actually pretty close... but what about disease? I don't see how stopping aging would stop death altogether.
  
  Valerie:
  Chapter and Verse? For the blue book? I don't even know them - I've never read the blue book. It's supposedly an alien handbook, I don't really believe it. While we're at it, prove to me that the bible is a reliable, TRUTHFUL, book. You can't, so don't ask me to do the same. I was making a joke from the beginning, but OK we can play this game.
  
  Dark times refers to repression of science. The church was responsible for that for a century (just look at gallileos work, or any other huge breakthroughs that were repressed because they challenged the churches beliefs).
  
  Just an FYI, we can get stem cells without killing embryo's now.
  
  Talk about moral and spiritual development that needs to accompany technology all you want, but are you really trying to tell me killing people who believe differently from you has ANY relation to moral or spiritual growth? How were the crusades justified? Did we need them? How do you justify imprisoning and killing scientists, astronomers, and others who challenged the popular view of the universe we live in?
  
  The authors of the bible figured out how to control the masses, which allowed them to keep a society running smoothly, but also allowed them to wage 'holy wars' against the arab people. How is that any better?
  
  Technological progress is what will allow man to ascend to the next level of society, and it was halted for many years thanks to religion, and the desire of a few men to control many.

  Cagsil, I think you vastly overestimate the human creature's control over his or her life or surroundings. Every time we think we've outsmarted God and/or nature with "unsinkable ships" or (where I once lived) "earthquake-proof" freeway overpasses, we are proven wrong. Imperfect. We are not completely in control, and given our track record, I don't think any human should be.
  
  As for Biblical reliability, there is more evidence that the Bible has been reliably written and copied over the centuries than there is that Homer dictated the Iliad or William Shakespeare wrote all his plays. Its oldest manuscripts are also far closer in age to the original documents than the oldest extant manuscript of the Iliad is to its original.
  
  Do you take it on faith that the Iliad you may have read in high school or college is exactly the way Homer dictated it?

  Of course not, but I don't really care. That statement was to make a point. I'm sure for every 'piece of evidence' you can find stating that the bible was perfectly upheld over the ages I can find one more that refutes it. How can you prove to me that the bible is trutfhul?

  Valerie Fposted 15 years agoin reply to this
  First of all there's the Talmudic standards for reliable copying of Torah and Haftarah manuscripts. There are New Testament fragments dating to when Jesus first disciples were still alive which have been reliably copied in later manuscripts. In the relatively few historic accounts, there are discrepancies that prove that witnesses, chroniclers, et cetera are not in collusion.
  
  And I never said the Bible was "perfectly upheld." Perfectly upheld means perfectly followed rather than just perfectly copied.
  
  Meanwhile, what part of the Bible is a lie? And how are you going to prove it is a lie?

  I'm no expert on DNA, but from what I understand we are basically born with extra bits of DNA that we shed over the years. Perhaps the 'anti-aging' process would just stop that shedding. Either way, it's probably a bad idea. I'd like to die eventually (after leading a long and fulfilling life).

Consciousness is a pretty massive subject. It's unfortunate that Jesus as a teacher had his teachings bastardized. The Buddhists and Hindu yogis and the Rosicrucians have done more for consciousness than the church has.

It's not enough for a person to be conscious he exists though. He has to be aware of himself void of any form of conditioning. Take away his upbringing by parents, school, teachers, religion, even his spiritual teachers's teachings, and he stands naked from it all and sees himself - that is consciousness knowing consciousness.

Knowledge of this calibre is not learned from a book. It MUST be experienced.

From this standpoint - what I have noticed time and time and time again by Christian teachings generally (not all), is that they ask that you put your attention to something outside of yourself. This one issue is what dissempowers people. God, Jesus, Buddah, Allah, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is never to be an external personal entity. But whilst it is, people will never achieve any state of consciousness beyond the ordinary mind.

  For you to make that statement shows a level of ignorance. (That is not intended as a condescending statement, most are not aware of this). There are levels to the mind, that's what consciousness is all about. The more inward you go the more you see. Unfortunately people don't do that. Consciousness is not just written knowledge.
  
  Chitta is a Hindu term referring to the incessant mind that never shuts up. That's a level of consciousness. when one learns to quieten it, then you can learn to find something more in line with the teachings of masters.
  
  One must look beyond only the guide of the bible in order to learn. And learning is to be mixed with experience in order to have wisdom.

  Historically? Jesus Christ didn't write any documents that survived. The only documentation we have that Jesus even existed is in the accounts documented by his disciples of things he said and did.
  
  And Earnest, once again, context counts for a lot. God created everything for the purpose of being good. It's when humanity screwed up that God became dissatisfied. And God dwells wherever God wants- being omnipotent and all. You seem to be looking for contradictions where there aren't any.

some people in some religions hide the fact that an individual does not need a religion to be close to God...but it can be helpful to some and that is a good thing

it is not a good thing when a religion says that without it someone cannot find God, or is bad for not excepting religion...

what some in some religions are hiding are their human egos.

the human ego has needs, some appropriate for soul evolution... and some not, like the need to manipulate others for whatever reasons

until a soul is healthy (has meet in a healthy way it's ego needs)
there is always a chance it can get lost in the "illusion" of life. religions can help or hinder the soul in how to stay on the path

I think the main thing and most important thing that religion hides from believers is "individualism". I think some religious live their entire lives never finding themselves.

If the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth were to be delivered, it would be covered up with so many other Interpretations of that truth, that it would not be visible for very long. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack; before the sun goes down.

  You know, therefore you don't need to ask me, now do you? You manipulate it, just like all the religions, so you can claim to be superior than others. Which is not any different than those who usurp power, prestige, and wealth at the expense of others.

  Another thing your pride does, it makes you defensive of and to criticism. Instead of learning from criticism and being humble, you show your arrogant pride, get defensive and look at the criticism as mockery.
  
  Another thing your pride does besides make you blind and defensive to criticism is that it keeps you from learning things that challenge your pride.
  
  The last thing too much pride does is make the person self-destruct as you clearly display. lol

@ mohit

Nobody's mocking you.
We are telling you what your words sound like: PROUD & ARROGANT.

You choose not to see.
then it's up to you.
but I tell you again: It doesn't look right. Saying you rank above the Bible & Qu'ran.
and where does that ranking come from?

You will never imagined all the things I have achieved in my life. Am I talking about them ? No. I will be ashamed. My personal achievements are not to be displayed in a forum. I take my pride with me. and I'm a very proud person.
I'm sure a lot of hubbers are proud of their doings. I don't see any of them displaying proudly their achievements.

Thinking you're above everyone, thinking you're an enlighten one, a prophet, would not make that come true.
Your deeds will show if that's true or not.
Up till now, you're showing nothing more than pride.
