Jesus bin Miriam was a human being, bound by human potentialities like ignorance and fear, prejudice and cultural blindness. That is the nature of being "truly human," and to assert that Jesus was NOT "truly human" is Gnostic heresy.
For those who will argue that Jesus was free of from the taint of original sin, I do not believe this means he could not know within himself the experience of ignorance, envy, and fear. If he lived in history, he lived within the confines of his time.
Because I am human and accept my humanity as the ground of this Being, I cannot explain what it means to say Jesus Christ is "true God AND true man." That particular theological supposition is a mystery, which I define as a deep, intuitive awakening that is experienced and contemplated, not a puzzle or problem to be solved through rational deduction.
I posted what I did because I am claiming the authority to call out those golum who say they inhabit the Body of Christ. I am sick at heart, and I am not ashamed if I share Rabboni's defect of character. I feel a deep indignation at hollow forms of humanity who will only inhabit the Bardo of fear, envy, ignorance, intolerance. I clearly hear how their words lead to death while they proclaim their putrid "word of life."
For those who confuse Phobos for Photos: I am an old woman, and I did not acquire the discipline of contemplative prayer in the school of a blind whore.
