"And the mind - may God preserve you - is more prone to deep sleep than the eye. Neediest of sharpening than a sword. Poorest to treatment. Fastest to change. Its illness, the deadliest. Its doctors, the rarest. And its cure, the hardest. Whoever got a hold of it, before the spread of disease, found his sake. Whoever tried to wrestle it after the spread would not find his sake. The greatest purpose of knowledge is the abundance of inspiring thoughts. Then, the ways to go about one's needs are met." -- Al-Jahiz the Christian Religions did not allow their congregations to read the New Testament for hundreds of Years. The Quran describes Jesus as a Word
to show that his true identity was in his message and not
his flesh. Afterall Jesus's flesh never saved anybody and
the fact that we have Christians today is because of the
greatness of his message. Jesus being born without the
agency of a human father means that the message produced
from his mind was not birthed through worldly religious
leadership. God taught him. As such he was an immaculate
conception raised from ignorance by Godly influences. The
Quran says that Jesus was a word from God and the
likeness of Jesus is as the likness of Adam. If we
deprogram ourselves from thinking only in physical terms
we will get more profound messages from scripture. ........................................oooooo.......................................
