By Evie: "For me, what sets Christ apart, is the resurrection."

A theologian couldn't have said it better or simpler!

If I understand correctly, you're both saying that men on their own without divine guidance have come up with teachings similar to Jesus'?

No, I don't think I said that. I said it might be "possible" for a wise man without divine guidance to come up with similar teachings. But, then one could ask where does inspiration come from?? How did the wise man become wise?

And, one could drive oneself crazy trying to figure all this out.

I am not a philosopher.

DJ - simply put, I believe in the resurrection. You asked if we thought it might be harmful to Christianity if Jesus' body was buried somewhere and I attempted to try and explain why I felt it would (if not for everyone, than at least for me).

There have been other men with wise teachings like Chopra Depak (?) and others, but, and this may sound strange to some but in my belief, for every truth of God, such as the resurrection of Chist and the virgin birth, there is a counterfeit. To me, there is the truth and then there are counterfeit 'truths' that sound good and are appealing, but aren't the genuine article.
If you read the holy books written by 'wise' men, there is always a thread of truth to them. ie. The Pearl of Good Price, the Book of Mormon, the Koran, but none of them can produce a risen savior. You can visit the grave of Mohammad and Buddah and Joseph Smith, but not the grave of Christ.
Just my thoughts.

The difference between Jesus and other wise men with similar teachings is simple.

Others are wise men, but only Jesus is the Risen Lord and Savior.

Smile, wonderfully put and Bluebird, thanks for the correction. I just bought new glasses yesterday and now I can see....LOL
Its a pain trying to quote from memory because you can't see to look things up and my typos......!
Sorry bout that ladies. I was just blessed today to find a pair of reading glasses that were within my means at the local Dollar Store. Its amazing what simple things will bless you when you are doing without. I'm happy for this time of learning to appreciate the simple things.
