It comes from the mystery religions ... it's pagan for sure....

Dear brother
awareness, I do believe you would be hard pressed to find a single evangelical Christian or Christian scholar who would deny the authenticity of the Gospel of John, its authorship, or its divine inspiration.
Brother
awareness, I just don't see how all your extra-Biblical research after leaving the LC has helped your faith. I'm not just saying this to get on your case. Yes, I agree that LC craziness can be deceptive and has little value, but you follow these atheists, doubters, and skeptics way too far.
The Lord Jesus Himself told us, (6.57) "
so he who eats Me shall also live because of Me." Sure, some disciples were stumbled by this phrase, and later the Lord said, "
It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing, the words I have spoken to you are spirit and life."
