Rosetta Stone

Some of you, like me, may think that Rosetta Stone is the language software company. If so…you'd be partly right. However, I believe that the software company get their name from the true "Rosetta Stone."
My pastor talked about the Rosetta Stone and that it provided the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs. He said, "The Rosetta Stone was the key that unlocked the mystery of an ancient civilization – the kingdom of Egypt."

The pastor went on to talk about (in his message entitled Introducing the Creator) that during that time the Greeks, with their 30,000 statues of their gods and goddesses, were trying to "unlock the mysteries of the universe." Sound like any other civilization, culture, time period? He said that the apostle Paul described Christ as the "Rosetta Stone" to the Polytheistic world.

"The apostle Paul declared to the crowd gathered on Mar's Hill, You have searched for the truth of the supernatural – I'm here to give you the Rosetta Stone to that mystery. To translate Christ is to understand the mystery of the universe."
THAT'S DEEP!!!

"The term Rosetta Stone is now used in other contexts as the name for the essential clue to a new field of knowledge." Check out this article in Wikipedia…quite interesting.
In the same sermon, he gives a good description, of Polytheism, Deism, Pantheism, Atheism, Finite Godism, Theism.
