well said KG...is romney thinking he is the second christ?... merle
We all are "the second coming of Christ [not of Jesus - but of "Christ"].
Teaching point to realization. We all have/are the potential to realize this -
for this to be realized - all have/are Buddha nature - to awaken to (call it
what you like). That's the point of the teachings. Otherwise why come to teach
the 'first' time? Applies to equally Jesus' or Buddha's story.
The whole 'give a man a fish/teach a man to fish' schtick.
Surely you have always realized this?! *L*

castigated me for stating that Christians and

of Jesus from the Bible and I think it was:

didn't consider this quote really relevant to
our discussion, but I would like to respond
now.
