I Am Not of This World (John 18:36)

[NicholasMarks]

I Am Not of This World  (John 18:36)

Jesus is telling us here that he was from another world…Heaven…and ‘world’ always means a planet and so we can deduce that 2000 years ago Jesus was part of a knowledge base that knew how to travel through space…a knowledge that we are becoming only too aware of now.

It seems everyone has seen UFOs and are now taking them very seriously. A glance through YouTube will bring this home in no uncertain terms. Official bodies are exploring them and organising welcoming committees to sit down and exchange ideas with them. Even, as one internet source states, the pope will introduce Christianity to them. But here is the rub…They are obviously far more advanced than us, and, it seems, some are not as nice as others, so we need to be very careful.

It is foolish to think they would even deem to sit down with us and go through all the claptrap that we spin out to any we want to take advantage of. But, perhaps, they, or at least the highest authority that they represent, have already spoken to us in a timeless language. In a language that will echo through all eternity. In a language that reverberates around the thinking of many people, many nations, many languages and many kings. Perhaps the ‘little scroll’ of Revelation 10:11 is a reiteration of Jesus Christ’s life, death and resurrection, in a more modern and accurate context.

It makes sense to me.

Christ is saying he is not of creation, he is not saying he is from another planet.

After your telling us some time ago that you approved of the JW's 'New World Translation', it would now appear that you're moving off to join the fundamentalist Mormons, Nicky. "The Pearl of Great Price" tells us that God (and Jesus) dwell out in space near a star called Kolob.
Spell that backwards and make it plural.

Sorry about the delay...had to go out.

It certainly puts a new aspect on the raving and all the unpleasantness that a loving God and his much loved son has to endure from those who can't be bothered to look at their written word in the Holy Bible,      with any sincerity, doesn't it.

Remember, Almighty God is the Owner of the whole universe who has promised to return and administer a powerful Judgment upon us all and if we also take on board the immense power of these universal travellers then it seems well with in their grasp, never mind an all powerful God's.

I've said it before and I will say it again...best to follow the accurate teaching of Jesus Christ.

[ad_orientem]

Why don't you try doing it then, you know, orthodoxy; not the Mormon, Scientologist, whatever crazy stuff you're writting here.

As I have said before, you have no idea if what Jesus is quoted as saying was actually said by him, and if so it wasn't all good or sensible, imo.

Well, you aren't of this world NM!!!

St. John ate the little scroll and it didn't agree with him!!!

An interesting answer but wrong again,Nick is correct you need Jesus but not the one he has.

[Bubbles]

I don't see there is much difference between believing God is outside time altogether and believing Jesus ( if you believe he was God) wasn't from this planet.

One is just claiming his origins are just a bit further away.

Perhaps I missed something!

It doesn't make sense to me I'm afraid 🌹

UFO's just means unidentified flying objects.

Have you been reading Erich von Däniken? Or something?

No problem - every now and then I find that I've contracted a life and have to pop off to do other things

Remember, Almighty God is the Owner of the whole universe who has promised to return and administer a powerful Judgment upon us all and if we also take on board the immense power of these universal travellers then it seems well with in their grasp, never mind an all powerful God's.

I remember you asserting something along these lines. I remember it being challenged as an assertion. I must have missed the bit where you supplied any sort of rationalisations for why I might want to accept this notion as valid.

I've said it before and I will say it again...best to follow the accurate teaching of Jesus Christ.

You keep saying. You keep failing to explain any basis for accepting these claims rather then equally unvalidated claims of, say, Islam or Scientology or Hinduism.

Tolkien created a fairly robust and internally consistent cosmology, but I have no reason to think that I can sail away to join Bilbo and Elrond in the Grey Havens, why should I accept your perfectly well-constructed theology as any more real?
