The conclusion is so fire. Pagan myths are not to be regarded as a nemesis. They are the whispers and Jesus is the voice; they are rumors and Jesus is the news; they are suspicions and Jesus is the truth; they are wishes and Jesus is the reality; they are hope expressed and Jesus is the grand fulfillment.

“In religion we find something that does not move away “ how is this man so smart? the permanence of God is. These talks help me be a better human , for belief in Christ is elevating the soul of men.

Academia's favorite four-lettered word---M-Y-T-H. I never heard it in a math class, but in the humanities or in the arts, you hear that word at least once a day.

Myth in math? Have you had meth in math or myth related classes? That would close the loop.

I agree with one of the other comments (the bible quote), where the word of God could not save, the Word became flesh (Jesus/Yeshua) and dwelt among us. Jesus is the Truth (John 14:6) modernism moves around truth, it (He) does not evolve with the perception of progress. Christ is life, no Christ, no life, know Christ, know life. Christ died for us, so we could live in Him.

At the Great Incarnation of The God-Man, all of creation awaited Him in glorious anticipation, as it had eagerly done so since its very own manifestation into being. Men of renown, and seers of the unseen knew of this Being in the imagery of their own consciousness and schematics of the stars, yet didn't realize He would come to commune with them in real life. They marveled at the Mystery, yet didn't know that this mystery would be revealed. The wisemen who came to visit Christ at his birth were extremely advanced Zoroastrian magicians. They knew the story in the stars far better than most, which is how they pinpointed Jesus' location in Bethlehem. Interestingly, Zoroastrians also believed in God as being an all consuming fire of Good and love, and also that God has an enemy who rebelled and became pure evil. Zoroaster prophesied that a Messiah would come to save mankind from sin, so when Jesus came, the Magi knew this was The One. So the idea of the God-man was no longer abstract, Astro-theological mythos, but concrete Christos. Divinity stepping into humanity, so that humanity could step into divinity. And even still, all creation groans awaiting for Him to return AS HE IS in order that the fullness of His purpose might be completed. His first coming he came as we are, to engage us, but when he comes as He IS, the consecration of the marriage will be complete and all things will be officially reconciled from the lowest realms to the higher heavens. In this momentous occasion, all creatures in heaven and earth will know He is the Only True God and will bow and confess that he is Lord. What a beautiful, genius Creator we have 😊 💜

I don’t understand what you mean? CS Lewis died about 40 years ago He’s The Brit equivalent of Naom Chomsky?

[@nolangimpel39]

The words of C S Lewis have helped millions of people find faith in Jesus, and find a way to articulate and defend what they believe.

[@obligatoryusername7239]

Optimus12, you will know a tree by its fruit, and a kingdom divided against itself can't stand. The fruits of CS Lewis has been some of the best defense of Christianity in modern times. He may make mistakes here and there, but if he was completely ignorant or a charlatan his works would not have such a positive effect.

If you are on a ship at sea and there hasn't been a breeze for two weeks, should you then abandon your sail and throw it overboard? Neither would you sink the ship and keep the sail when there is a breeze. Once the wind returns you will need both ship and sail to make it home. You can see both ship and sail, but what makes them move is invisible and without it you are dead in the water. The sea is life. The boat is mankind dead to sin. The sail is the myth mankind built to save them from their destruction, with the hope that God would reveal himself and save them. They were lost at sea. One day, God supernaturally blew into the sail and called the ship Yeshua, and 2020 years ago the ship began to move towards it's destination and ultimate salvation. But there are those who do not have faith, who would tear the sail to shreds and gouge holes in the hull. It is these that we must guard against. There is no fine line between truth and lies. It is a battlefield of ideas and doctrine where doubt must die an excruciating death.

[@garyroberts3859]

Is this why I believe there is no God?

[@Straightfromshibuya]

If you believe there is no God that is because the thought of God reminds you daily. If this thought persists is it myth or truth? Maybe it’s how we were raised, nonetheless this thought persists. In perilous situations do I remind myself that I can do all things, or do I extend out to the universe a prayer of help. I’ve done both and somehow extending toward the universe is more empowering. Now that might be psychological but the myth persists consciously anyways.
