The Christian cross and its concurrent logic
#11
RE: The Christian cross and its concurrent logic
The Cross is just one more symbol stolen ( or let's be polite and say "borrowed") from the pagans.

http://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuse...-Relic.htm

Quote:As we have seen, an enormous body of evidence proves that the cross is not a Christian symbol but has its roots in rank paganism. Some will argue, however, that we may use the sign of the cross because 1) it represents the manner in which Jesus Christ died, and 2) we are not using it today to worship a pagan deity.

The millstone of their insipid religion, just like they do now.

If instead Jesus had been executed by the Persian method of scaphism, xtians would probably wear boat shaped containers of feces around their necks.

Well you seem like a cheery bunch. Obviously deliberately and blatantly misinterpreting the beliefs of others keeps you in fine form.

Now where were we.

Leo-rcc- 'I remember this one from another forum. He supposes that the inistance describes the logic of the Christian cross as it converges in the center or something.'

The statement Ive made previously which I assume your alluding to is that the cross symbol is orientated inwardly towards its centre. Now given the logic of inistance and the ever inward centre stated in the original post and the form of the cross being orientated inwardly towards its centre there is a concurrancy of meaning which they share. Hence the Christian cross and its concurrent logic.

I think I see where you're going with this, Ricky, but I think you need to elaborate a little bit. What is it about the cross that is concurrent, and with what? For that matter, what does this say about Christianity, in your opinion?

It helps when the person stating their beliefs obfuscates the meaning and clarity of those beliefs as much as humanly possible to try to pass it off as sounding intellectual.

Is that supposed to be a question or a statement?

"the logic of instance?"
"concurrancy of meaning?"
"concurrant logic?"

The word 'concurrent' means to occur or happen simultaneously.
Explain how this relates to the statements "concurrancy of meaning" and "concurrent logic".
Are we talking about two logics that happen at the same time? The cross and logic happening at the same time?
Furthermore, an instance is an example of something or a case or occurance of something. For example, you can have an insitance of someone performing a robbery or an instance of a particular object out of many.

Using words in wierd ways that don't represent what they actually mean doesn't make you sound smarter or that you have any idea of what you're even talking about. It makes you sound like an idiot.

And yes, your first post shows that shapes can add perspective to what you're looking at. A few more brilliant ideas like that you and you can graduate art 101.
I still have no idea what the point of this entire thread is and you've done nothing to make this bit of important information known.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Imagine if Jesus was mauled to death by a lion and an eagle fighting him in unison. Now that's a symbol of a religion I could get on board with!
