No, you must love as Yeshua preached. That way we can create our own brotherhood in Christ and not have Jews subvert it so easily.

THIS. This cannot be overstated.

And if a Jew, such as Vanunu, who had accepted Christ and renounced his Jewishness and Nationalism, he would be grafted unto the tree of life. The man speaks the truth and is humble and meek despite the Israeli government calling him a homosexual, he's not and never was, to discredit him, or jailing him for the rest of his life for following Christ. For if he remained a Jew he would not have been treated as harshly, if at all.

My point is, if everyone followed Christ, in a country, that country would be perfect. Full of prosperity, love, humility and welfare. But the world hates Christ and so does not Israel.

While I cannot speak about what is in the heart of this Vanunu, I wholeheartedly agree about the rest.

Christ IS the way, no matter whether he is adhered to by creed or via the scientific path. The latter is simply more adjusted to future human evolution, while the former is better suited to mentalities that emerged from the past into the present.

Reading this, I wonder... Have you ever heard of the Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury? It's a collection of short stories, and one of the stories is about human astronauts finding life on an alien planet, only to be ignored by the natives because of a mysterious figure returning to them from their history.

You may enjoy it, although, few people seem to have the time to read fiction these days, and so I expect it will go unread. If you know that it will go unread, respond to this and I'll tell you the gist. Something about it has always nagged at me.

I probably read it already, 30+ years ago. I'm pretty sure I read all of Bradbury. But I may have a re-read.

On another note, I find it strange that nobody demonstrates the slightest curiosity as to the scientific path to Christ.

Well, in my limited experience, most people who say they follow Christ have this weird belief where miracles and God cannot be understood through any means whatsoever except through the Bible. They have this belief that science can only explain the "mundane" rather than being able to explain the "extraordinary" or "supernatural".

It doesn't seem crazy to me to think that if Christ were to do his miraculous acts with scientists recording everything about the act and the situation, then we would have a closer understanding of what's happening on a physical level. That just seems logical to me. If I mention this to my traditional family, they tend to scoff and say that God is unknowable, and that miracles are unexplainable.

It has long been something that has irked me.

You talk about a science of the mind, an exact science, and you speak of a scientific path to Christ. These truths feel very foreign to the modern man. I'm curious about it, but until I learned new words, I didn't even know what it was that I was curious about. It feels as though I have literally been living most of my life with my mind closed off to objective reality.
