JESUS WAS A PARADIGM

Paradigm means archetype, model, exemplar, example, prototype, pattern, standard etc. (In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.)

He is the answer to the question - can finite humanity ever be infinite and/or divine? (Ineffable) (Godlike – as the serpent told Eve in the garden “eat the fruit and you will be like god = you will not surely die”)

Or to put it another way – Can the infinite ever become finite?

Proprietary interest assumes duality.
Every assumption planted in the mind produces a crop of mistakes.

Duality is an antonym to Creation.

It is possible to be friendly without being friends?

Love can enhance friendship
And friendship can enhance love
But they are not the same and never the twain shall merge…

One will never subsume the other.

Each stands alone, but they can also stand together.
… like finite and infinite ? . . .

. . . or e pluribus unum?

There Is No Greater Love . . .

THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN THIS –THAT A FRIEND LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A BROTHER (and the various gender variations) – one doesn’t have to die physically to lay down (ie give up) his/her life for a friend..

BUT TO KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE,
THERE IS A FRIEND THAT Stays CLOSER THAN A BROTHER,
AND ACTUALLY HAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL…
