I believe he was an enlightened soul here with an important message for earth.

Indeed.

Jesus said unequivocally that He is God, that there is no way to the Father except through Him, that we must be saved - through Him - to enjoy a relationship with the Father, have power here on earth, and to spend eternity with Him (the only alternative being hell).

Then He gave His life on the cross to make it all happen, and three days later rose from the dead.

An enlightened soul would not lie... nor be insane... nor be deluded.

One who believes Jesus was an "enlightened soul" must logically therefore conclude that He is, in fact, God.

However, Jesus did not do all of that to establish a religion (for that matter, God did not create humans to establish religion). True biblical Christianity is in NO way a religion. :D (Trust me, I came out of a religion of a rather different sort - and I would flee from anything that smacked of "religious" - and Jesus would run with me!)

In case anyone hadn't noticed from my last post, I'm madly radically passionately in love with Jesus and focused on bringing book of Acts style revival to the world Jump.gif

I love Jesus too - and I got teared up just seeing you all posting about your own love for Him. This board has been so helpful and supportive to me, but to know that there are brothers and sisters of the the Body of Christ out there - it can't get any better than that!

And I had noticed all the positive references in the Bible about bread and wheat - but hadn't connected the Lord's Prayer and praying for our daily "bread". Now I will never be able to pray that again with a straight face! How funny! I'll pray silently for my daily rice cakes! Thanks for sharing about that. :P

that's great, love it. :)

.....does anybody else kind of chuckle when they're saying the Lord's prayer.... "Give us this day our daily bread...." I always want to say "Give us this day our daily...rice bread." lol

Alcohol (wine) and gluten (wheat) comprise the sacraments of Holy Communion, as the "body and blood" of Christ, as well.

I agree with his overall message of love and forgiveness, I don't necessarily agree with everything else he said, that's why I don't consider myself a Christian, as I don't think he is God any more than I think the Buddha's were God or anyone is. I think.. God is God, lol. I do believe in the "One" all mighty "God" and that we are all a part of God, so yes I guess in that sense I do think Jesus is "God", but no more than me or you. :D

And lol at give us this day our daily rice cakes. :D Amen!

Such as? and Whyso?

And what if He really *was* telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (actually, He said that *He* is the Truth - which if that's true, makes truth a rather different thing than the subjective way we consider it - doesn't it?)

Just curious :D

It's just too limiting for me. I'm all religions and none at the same time. I have my own religion, and it's every changing. :)

Both the wine and the wheat are very different from those in Jesus' time. Look into it.

and yes, I am a Believer.

Well - like I said, having come out of a religion, I would never again have anything to do with one. So we're really talking about two different things. I would agree with you that religions are far too limiting.

There's Someone better than a religion.

Susie, that begs an interesting question: is celiac disease actually caused by a factor *other* than gluten itself (for example, genetic manipulation or pesticides & fertilizers changing the makeup of the plants, and this in turn sets off a chain reaction in already-susceptible individuals?

I read once that a lady with celiac (positive blood work and biopsy) went totally gluten-free for years, and then cautiously added organic kamut (an ancient form of wheat) back to her diet. A ways later she had repeat testing; all negative. Her doc was amazed. It always made me wonder. :huh:

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
