Reply #54: That's what I like about my church [View All]

diversity of opinion on these matters is not only allowed, but encouraged. And then we all sit next to each other, talk to each other, worship together. (At least most of the time, lol -- we're human!)

I'm not sure what I believe on that count anymore. I do think that Christ's teachings are the heart of it, and the metaphysics of the resurrection are less important to me. Was it symbolic? Actual? Does it matter? I'm not sure.

I suspect, personally, that the message was: "look you people, I love you so much, I'm going to give you the ultimate demonstration in terms you'll understand. Watch me conquer death, and then you'll get it"
