Hi Faithfulservant, I agree if they thought that Jesus was God they would never allow the idea, However Jesus was the son of God, therefore an offspring as we are, in human form subject to the same laws of gravity and the like as we are. He wasnt saying we could be greater than God but greater...

Hi again pohaikawahine, We too are taught the same things, it is especially hard when you are a overactive and curious child.;) We have much in common. Kelcie:)

Hi pohaikawahine, Cannot add much to that except that I agree!!! Kelcie:)

Hi bananabrain, No worries, thanks for the clarification. I guess you have to make some really tough calls when the need arises. Cannot be easy Im sure.:eek: However you keep it nice and cosy for us and for this I am glad. Thanks very much Kelcie:)

Re: Reality, Logic and Superstitious Nonsense Hi Saltmeister, Without the covenant that was given to man, we are at the mercy of this sword of judgement. What you give you get, what you sow you reap. This sword of judgement does not discern what is on the outside only what you are on the...

Hi Satay, Buddhism does in a sense, but I know what you are saying and I agree! Kelcie:)

Hi Truthseeker, The tree of knowledge of good and evil for me is metaphor for the “mind” the mind that houses the ego. The metaphor for the ego in reference to the above passage is the serpent. The mind has the ability to do what bananabrain refers to and that is; the ability to act based on...

Hi bananabrain, Will we all get this third degree questioning if we ask a question? Do we always have to justify what religion, what upbringing etc etc before we seek answers to our questions on CR. Or is it only if you choose to follow one that opposes the beliefs of a moderator? I was...

Hi Bandit, That is the true meaning of GODs work being done. Thanks Kelcie:)

Re: Reality, Logic and Superstitious Nonsense Hi Saltmeister, Just some thoughts on your posts. Take them as you wish. Perhaps the story itself was symbolizing what is meant to happen inwardly. The sword of Judgement already exists in a sense. The ritual cleansing is an inner...

Hi The Truth, Killing no matter what guise it is performed under is Mans error not Gods, not Allah. Killing is almost always in the name of a religion, or justice, or whatever excuse one can find. It is how Man has choosen to interpret and use the wisdom of religion that has been the problem...

Hi bananabrain, Oh? What theories? Kelcie:)

Hi Juantoo3 Agreed! You cannot have one without the other. For me, no matter what you confer logically if they are not ready to recieve proof will always be insufficient for the logic. Agreed. Yet this is what is done to God all the time. That was my...

Hi Curios Mike, I would like to share my thoughts on your post. Matt 5:38-46 The power of God is designed (cant think of a better word sorry) in such a way that what you give you get. A bit like the eastern philosophies karma concept. The covenant given by GOD is designed to protect you...

Hi satay, Agreed the writers of the bible have indeed tried to portray God as humanlike. Perhaps they did the best they knew how when writing. Perhaps that was not how it was intended and in translating the original texts the translators distorted the messages by omission. Still, if one looked...

Hi DemocraticIndecision, And thats all that matters!!!! People will always have an opinion about you good and bad. Perhaps they even believe you need saving. As long as your relationship with Jesus and God is on track I wouldnt worry too much. Kelcie:)

Hi jantoo3, Thank you for you welcome, it is good to be here Okay let me explain....When a cat chases his tail, does he ever catch it? No. Is the tail on something other than the cat? No. Therefore when the intellect keeps trying to prove GODs existence "out there" when in fact GOD is "in...

Hi Satay, The truest form of human nature is quite pure. However in the manifest it is everchanging and becomes mistaken for human nature in its entirety. In the manifest I would agree, the human emotions are prevalent in the bible. God has all these and more but not in the way you would...

Re: Reality, Logic and Superstitious Nonsense Hi Jeff, It is unfortunate that people will have views that differ from yours. However, do not let other peoples view shake your faith. What you have come to know and come to learn from your faith can only be confirmed from within. It is not...

That was a very intense discussion of the biblical accounts of history. Very scholarly I might add. For me the bible was God-Inspired, as are most religious texts. However, man did indeed have to write down this inspiration. The question really is how clear was this inspiration received? For...
