"In Genesis, Eden was a garden where the first humans lived after creation on a material Earth." No, cOde,go back gently... Eden was a spiritual presence, not a physical dwelling that man was cast out of and then protected by two 'angels', effectively, time and space! Nothing has entered it...

Considering the fact that Eden is a Spiritual event and that it represents man's fall from a Spiritual existence to a physical and material existence, I find it rather immature to be looking for an earthly location for this 'place'. Man in his beginnings, we are told, was a spiritual being as...

Yes, Thomas, that is exactly what I said. Truly doing for another requires that we become ignorant of what we have done. To remember is pride, and pride removes us from divine inspiration.

Thomas: In my own life experience, I gave the beggar the whole cloak! I expect nothing in return but to forget what I did!

Nick: Jesus taught us the 3 Ss: Selflessness, servitude, and sacrifice. All rely on one principle, forgetting, denying, one's self for the sake of others. I cannot help but recall the movie, The Remains of The Day. Hopkins went to the royal domo in order to ask how a butler in a large household...

taijasi: In this world I am a Christian being lifted up beyond Christianity. I would relate to you the prayer of Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya, one of the most famous female sufis in Moslem history. In all that she accomplished in her life (8th century) she wrote a prayer for which she is best known. I...

Okay, I've read through the posts and I have a question, and I want your honest opinions (which I will get whether I invite it or not /lol). I am aware of my 'condition' as a son of man, but I am not so sure that I am privy to the condition of my 'soul' even as a son of God. That does not seem...

This is extremely interesting. Everyone seems to be searching for themselves, when in fact, there is no self, there is but one "I". I Am! I don't care if you hear it from a burning bush, at the top of Mt Sinai, or at a rock concert! In the Universe(s) there is but one 'existence'! One, "I AM"...

"If they dont already know of it they probably dont have theres anymore." Gee, Jarrett, how did they lose it? Since the 'soul' is that part of the Spirit that gives us 'life', and without it there is no life, are all those people dead?

Well, good afternoon to all. It seems that our frantic weather is over for the time being... have never seen so much snow and cold in the southeast before and I've been in this house for 46 years! Ahanu, you speak of dreams, I speak of visions. There is much difference between the two. We can...

I don't want to appear vacant... I will be getting back here shortly, perhaps tomorrow. This is extremely interesting since I am preparing a scenario with our local Presbytery with this message. From my point of view the Church has a mission to complete... yes, I said complete, finish, bring to...

cOde? Do you have a... never mind, it was a bad pun. 15% of those in the United States who claim to be Christians, are churched.... that means they are members of a congregation and attend religious meetings of a Christian nature regularly, are involved in church functions, including educational...

Hi: May I join the 'quest'? Permit me to note that, I am a Believer. I practice a chosen walk of faith which I have been led to by 'life experience'! I have been tested 14 times for IQ and to date, due to the ineffectiveness of man's ability to score a meaningful examination, I have none...

[B]Wil: If we do not have a soul I would be the most surprised creature on the face of the earth. With all I have experienced in my life I am quite satisfied that much that I have experienced has been spiritual rather than physical. Let me give you an example other than my visions. I was...

[B]Hi all, Brian: I am making reference to Global Warming, a permanent condition that is accelerating; ex: The highest glacier in the world was expected to be effected by 2015. The latest Geophysical reports indicate that it will be totally gone by the end of THIS summer! Twenty percent of the...

I will tell you a story. Once there was an infant born who was terribly ill. The Angels came to take his soul but The Lord said, "No! Let him be. I know his name and he is Mine. I will have use for him later." That's when it all started. Mastoids require surgery, this lad had them in both ears...

The real form of God is, Existence! Just as in His alter ego, The Holy Spirit, the primary gift is, "Life"! As the Son, He personified His Existence in Life! I am amazed for this is basic.

I'll be back, with your permission. I have a story to tell but only if you permit me to use a good bit of space. Then you will understand because it is the story of one man's life, whom God desired because He said, "I know your name, and you are Mine." Just let me know... it is urgent and my...

Hey, yourself: I sneak in now and then. Posted something on Does Evil Exist. I am getting the feeling that in our world of dualities, the "equal and opposite" may apply to G-d and Evil. A tough consideration for one steeped in a singular omnipotent Creator concept! I'll be around. Take...

I just read path of one's post and realized for the first time that I am a Quaker! May I copy your post and print it out for myself? I wouldn't think of doing it without permission. Impressed; Victor G
