Hmm a shadow? I'm not so sure. Knowing Satan is a counterfeit, an imposter of the Truth, seems to me he took the Word of God & twisted it to fit peoples' ideology. He looks like the real thing. Talks like the real thing...but NO ONE gets to Abba GOD except through JESUS Christ, the TRUE Anointed One of the Father!

So it isn't that the Christ story is just another instance in a pattern in human beliefs that all reflect some deeper "Way." He is the Way that all other beliefs reflect in some dim manner.

I think I get what you're saying Igzy. I listen to Coast to Coast quite a bit.
George Noory has all kinds of people on his talk show. The topics are as wayyy out there as they are grounded. Sometimes when his guests are talking about future things to come, these people use their own lingo to explain in their own way the deep things of God. Sometimes they quote scriptures and also mix other teachings.
I try to keep an open mind and a level head. At all times, I am grounded on Christ Jesus the One & Only Solid Rock.
IMO, there are a lot of people who are tired of mainstream religion...the mainstream church. "Lively" or "Dead". They want GOD but they don't want the organized institution...and since the religious institution uses the Bible, they steer away from the Living WORD. One of my favorite passages in Acts is Paul's visit to Mars Hill. He looks around at all the idols..and begins his sermon with these words:
“Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious in every way,for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about.
“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, 25 and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.
I like to quote these scriptures to some of the guests and callers. You all ought to hear me talk to the radio and to the Lord about the callers or guests. Too funny !

Harold should know this, of course. But perhaps he's forgotten.

I don't know. To quote Bob Marley... I think he's just running and a running and a running away. Harold's running and a running and a running away..but he can't run away from the LORD...noo-noo-noo...he can't run away from the LORD.
(don't know why that song got inside my head right about now!
