Y’all think when Jesus went on tour that he had a separate caravan wagon for himself and another for the apostles or did they roll together?

I assume the former or else him and Judas woulda been more tight

Why would I be wary of the deeper truth? How can the 7 Hermetic Principles be dangerous? I can understand how they can be used for negativity, but so can fire. Fire warms and it also destroys. It’s all in how it’s used.

I actually came back in this thread to correct what I said in it being unrelated. It’s very much related. Death of the ego is rebirth, aka alchemy.

Regarding As Above, So Below, it is true from all angles. Are we not walking universes? Are our lives not mirrored in numbers? Are we not manifestations of GOD’s energy and being? Humans will always find ways to corrupt things, that doesn’t mean those things themselves are bad.

And I’m not into magic, ceremonial, black or other. I’m just gaining an understanding. That’s all.

Does my fire destroy

From a pur novelist perspective.

Like as if i was treating the bible like the lord of rings rather than a historical document.

I would say the carpentry background, him working with wood to create, was done to serve as foreshadowing for him being crucified and be reborn, thus him again creating new life with wood. or working with wood to end his life. Full circle. Either way.

Jesus lived during the Iron Age, it was like 3-4 skilled trades back then.
Also out of the various skills back then carpentry likely was the one that most allowed him to travel and go to where people were at. The most flexible.
Iron worker needed to be near a cauldron to work, ship workers/fishermen were stuck near the coast, soldier and government worker wasn't an option, and he rejected the jewish elite of the time so rabbi or temple worker was out of the picture
all a carpenter needed was a couple of tools that were portable and Jesus could get his analog nomad on hopping from town to town fixing doors and preaching

A fisherman nailed to the cross, doesn't hit the same way as a carpenter.
It's like being killed by your own tools.

how would they kill a fisherman to sound dramatic ? have him eaten by sharks?

Its important to note to that he was not a priest or a rabbi. Was not a biblical scholar, was not some Godly rock superstar.

Theres even one point in the story where his mom and his cousins are like whose this guy?

I think it just goes to show that God can take an everyman and use him for great things.
