Not sure what a dingle mouse is. But I do know what a dingle berry is; a wad of animal waste that gets caught near it’s behind. A slang term meaning stupidity. Being that there are two exists of the body the rectum and the mouth (verbal diarrhea) perhaps you could/should be referring to yourself as dingyberry not dingle mouse.
As any devote member of your faith when ever you come across anything that runs counter to your faith you first was an expletive then retreat to your holy scriptures. Too bad you can not expand your understanding of other faiths and traditions. A true sign of one who has chosen to remain ignorant.
I am amazed how many people of faith that I have meet over the years and when I inquire if they have ever read anything else the answer is no, as they have no need to, everything they need can be found in the holy bible. Good for you, that’s your right, but you do not have the right to attack others. If you choose to remain ignorant of other so be it
.
As to taking scripture and reformatting it, actually you have it wrong there. It is just the opposite.
“There was already a long tradition in Christian exegesis of spiritualizing mythography-that is, of finding Christian religious meaning in the old pagan texts. The mythographic enterprise,indeed , is one of the signal achievments of medieval humanism.”
If you research the Nag Hammadi Library (The Nag Hammadi Scriptures) you will find that early christians believed in reincarnation. Calling something absolute crap just shows your ignorance about the matter.
Some people might consider the ancient Sumerian clay tablets a form of proof. According to scholars such as Sitchin, who can actually read their written characters, the clay tablets speak of astronomical facts, such as the 26,000 year wobble in the rotation of the planet we live on. Now think about it. How could these primitive people have known about that ? And not one ancient telescope has been found that they may have used. And Pythagoras wasn't even born yet to formulate math principles that could have been used to study the movement of the heavens. And the tablets even speak about the existence of a planet that us moderns, with telescopes, didn't know anything about until the 1900's. Go figure, Einstein ! You need to do more self educating before you can try and tell anyone what does and what doesn't exist. Could it be that everything you thought was right is actually wrong ? Most people who "think" usually find out that when they "think" they got it all figured out, suddenly realize that they are really way off track. It's happened to me at least a hundred times.
Actually the yamna steppe herders NEVER FOUNDED A CIVILIZATION AND THEY WERE NOT THE FOUNDER OF CIVILIZATION IN EUROPE! THEY WERE ILLITERATE BRUTISH BACKWARDS BARBARIANS LIKE THE HUNS AND MONGOLS THAT CAME AFTER THEM!
THESE STEPPE HERDERS NEVER CREATED THEIR OWN CIVILIZATION AND THEY WERE THE ANCESTOR'S OF TODAY'S WESTERN GERMANIC PEOPLES, WHOM LIVED A NEOLITHIC LIFESTYLE BEFORE THE EXPANSION OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE!
What no one seems to mention is; the stele of people are dressed in robes, very advanced for civilization that they told us were hunters dressed in animal skins etc.
They don't seem like the fact that they MUST rewrite the history books totally and STOP trying to convince us we only became advanced when Roman Catholic or Greeks made us so.
We've been highly advanced for a VERY LONG TIME!!! Just need to look for it, at the evidence.
Just to clarify perhaps some confusion. Please understand that my comment was not, I repeat was not directed towards your comment. It was being directed towards WJ's comment.
Personally I agree with your idea. I have had the same thoughts over time. ie; similar or the same animals and plants found throughout the world on different continents. The fossil record shows the same thing. Why this could not be the same with
hominids and or our earliest ancesters WJ does not seem to see or at least entertain the potential possibility of, and perhaps others as well
NNOOOOO I do not mention mass migration. I said --- that as the land mass broke apart the people who were there moved with the break up of Patagonia. Man's curiosity to move about. -- 'what is on the other side of the mountain' is evident in migrations. The DNA, culture, habits that mingle change is on going. Ccuriosity, famine, war, etc., motives people to move, while some stay depending on a list of circumstances
It would seem that you have decided to believe the "settled science of a mass migration". That is your right. But others disagree on this "settled" theory. It is still just a theory. Period. No proof really. Just ideas etc. A theory is a theory a working theory. Theories can be changed at any time with 'new' evidence or a 'new theory. Twaddle dee, twaddle do.
Surely you don't believe that silliness? Surely you aren't disputing the settled science of a mass migration across the Bering land bridge over thousands of years. If you believe that twaddle then you probably believe the sun orbits the earth also. You and Copernicus would have had a problem.
You are your soul. You are not your material body. Are you saying you think you have to look like you do or you wont be you??
The body is "merely the vessel" of the soul, according to biblical texts. The appearance of a vessel has little, if anything, to do with its contents. I think you have some dogmatisms where your faith should be, and I think you do not understand the various philosophies of reincarnation.
In any case, reincarnation was most certainly a belief of early christians, and it was absolutely ruthlessly suppressed by Rome. The Gnostic christians believed in reincarnation, for one. The early church killed every last one of them and tried to destroy all traces that they ever existed. That should make you suspicious, at the very least.
I completely agree that early christians believed in reincarnation. But this article also mentions karma. Does the author think early christians also believed in karma? If there is evidence in support of this, I'd be interested to see it. If it is just speculation, that's fine, but perhaps it should be stated as such.
Personally, I speculate that the author thinks a belief in reincarnation automatically implies a belief in karma. A belief in karma might require a belief in reincarnation, but reincarnation does not require karma.
Also, I don't understand the paragraph re: the Crusades. People who believed this was the one and only life they were going to get were marching off to die in distant lands, and the author thinks if they believed they would have many lives, they would have been less willing?
As for the Inquisition, I don't see how a belief in reincarnation and/or in karma would have changed it. For one, people did not keep quiet because they feared losing a place in heaven if they angered the church. They kept quiet because they were terrified of being tortured. And many actually didn't keep quiet when their loved ones were taken by the Inquisitors, and so died in agony alongside them. Believing in reincarnation and karma would have changed nothing.
Now, if the Inquisitors had believed in reincarnation and karma, then yes I'd say things would have been drastically different. Of course, they would have been drastically different if the Inquisitors had been actual christians(followers of the teachings of the Christ) as well. What they were was just the same sort of twisted sadistic persons that totalitarian governments always have working for them.
Again, I agree with most of this article. The ending bits just seemed....a little naive, perhaps? A belief in reincarnation and karma would not have prevented the Crusades or stopped the Inquisition.
I do think a belief in reincarnation would be a good thing in general--might calm people down a bit, possibly--but I'm more skeptical in regards to karma. For one, karma seems to promote caste systems, which historically has been a major tool used by small cabals of erstwhile elites to freeze societal pyramids so they stay on top for generations. And while the idea of personal karma may be a positive incentive, the idea of other people's karma is too easy to use as an excuse to ignore human misery.
The central promise of Christ to his disciples is the bodily resurrection. This is very clearly not reincarnation. Reincarnation is the transmigration of the soul from one being to another after the first being dies. Resurrection is the person's body is raised up and perfected, reunited with the soul, and it shall live forever, body and soul, in heaven. For those bound for hell, the body is resurrected in its true corrupted form and reunited with the soul, to live body and soul forever in hell.
This is no "secret teaching" as it is very clear in Catholic doctrinal sources such as Ott, Denzinger, and the Catechism. Anyone who was unaware that the Church believes in the Resurrection of the Body has never paid attention to the Nicene Creed which ends with the statement, " I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come." Catholics, Anglicans, Orthodox and many protestant denominations recite the Creed every Sunday. This is no secret. A Christian certainly does not need reincarnation to believe that he or she will live forever. Indeed, if there were reincarnation, who is the "I" that lives forever...the first I, second I, third I? WHO is living forever? the same person with a series of different bodies? Why would a soul manifest itself in different ways? My soul informs the matter into me. Your soul informs the matter into you. If I died and my soul were to transmigrate to other matter, it would have to recreate me, because that's who my soul is.
Your understanding of Christian doctrine awful, and your reading of the Church Fathers Origen and Clement is hideous.
At one time the continents were one land mass. Over the eons the land mass have separated into the current separate continents. It is possible that each land was populated with multiple groups of people. Using GPS we can know how much the continents are moving each year.
A friend of mine found a midden on Loggey Bayou. He sent off some charred bone and found that the substance was 20,000 years old. As the area is washing away, he contacted the local archeologist and they were aware of the area and the likely age. They don't publish as they want to advance their careers.

@Brian, exactly WHO, are you calling "nitwit"? When it is obvious that you know nothing of each persons "Culture" or background?
Actually...it is YOU need to "read" more often. The "land bridge "theory" (an IDEA only) has been TOSSED, as PROOF was found that it was impossible.
Monsoon was very heavy during those times giving abundant of water to rivers even if they are originated from high Himalayas.
a nice read
