Does it mean that I am psychic…
if, after two years, I expected this blog to be EXACTLY as it is?

Nah. I think it means that JQP and John Henry are a wee bit predictable.

(Goodness JQP, for a bright man, you must have bored yourself silly months ago… if not years ago. It’s about the blogging money then?)

Something I noticed as I skimmed - is Gary B.F. the orignal Gary? If so, I hope you are still taking good care of your soul Gary.

Good wishes to you all. I’ll (possibly) check back in on everyone in another two years…

“what does it matter whether he even existed?…What if it refers to that sense of being..”

That is a highly personal interpretation. You’re playing on some ambiguity you’ve created by decontextualizing the statement; you’re playing on the dropped antecedent for the pronoun “I”. But since “I” in the context of where it it used (John 14:6) is specific to Jesus, (not you or me) you don’t get generalize it to a universal “I”. It is saying specifically that Jesus is way to truth and life. So, it does matter if he existed or not.

Sure, you can bend any set of words to suit your own beliefs, but that detracts from determining if the words as originally intended are true or not. And that is where so many believers (whether new age or bible thumping) go tangential. Because you’ve already determined something and you’re changing the interpretation of some passage to support what you’ve already decided. Since you’ve already decided that that is truth (i.e., that we have soul and it is that inward introspection that is “the way”) , why pretend you need supporting evidence?
