When you say Jesus, you mean Christ, right? There was only one Jesus.

IMO each human is a unique organism. It is not the human that incarnates, it is the soul.

Yes, the one called Jesus, Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus, etc. in the Bible.

Actually I meant Michael, the Archangel.
As some have made connection regarding the Book of Daniel.

Jesus and Christ are not the same. Jesus was a man. Christ has multiple meanings.

Mark 1:1 from the King James Bible reads: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;" is the way I was using the expression I mentioned in post #83.

Phillipians 2:5 uses the expression "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,".........

To me, Jesus, and Jesus Christ and Christ Jesus as used above, are referring to the same person. That is all I was trying to say.........

......... and we thought this was only reserved for Hindu deities.

At least he did not incarnate as a turtle, fish, half lion/half man, etc.......

Mary or Joseph gave him that name so whatever or whoever he was before he entered that body was not named Jesus.

As I see it, every particular contains the universal.

Jesus (particular) was Christ (universal)

The fly in the ointment is insisting that Jesus had a unique uniqueness, that he was a particular particular somehow necessary in and of himself for salvation, an "only way".

Thus, Inquisitions and the rack!

Where do you get "Inquisitions and the rack" from?


How many other incarnations have any of us had?
As far as I know........ none.
