I do use and read the Bible..among other religions books, and the church I attend most often is Christian, and there are thousands of denominations/versions/sects of Christianity, some of which point fingers at other sects saying they (the other) aren't Christian as they don't believe as we...

Thanx.... I ain't that good, and am that bad.

Sheesh dude this so sounds like the classic set up for "but what if you are wrong, are you willing to risk your everlasting soul?" But surely you would not stupe to that! But no not a Christian, just a person who finds great value in many of the words attributed to the Jesus of the Bible. I...

Wasn't me...was ai

@Yahweh kid Fun is fundamental for me. No I don't see myself as a Christian, I believe you have been around here long enough to know this. I like, admire, utilize, embrace a lot of the words and teachings attributed to Jesus in the Bible but don't know for certain that the stories are not an...

Yall in this case is people of the christian board I was concerned about posting it here And Yahweh Kid has made it clear. This moderator overstepped boundaries. I fear. My goal in this post is not to diminish diminish Or decry an Question belief, but just a contemplation I had that I...

Most folks don't see me as a Christian, and in their view I think they are correct. My view of Jesus saves is not to or from a heaven or hell in the afterlife but a heaven or hell on earth. Sure I still have unemployment, sorrow, my aorta blow up, strokes etc lol. But my understanding...

Seems to me when you're talking definitions.You have as much a problem with virtues as you do with justice. Someone think loyalty Is a virtue but loyalty to whom Others would say courage Is a virtue, but would that be courage to protect your nation?Or courage to maintain peace

His presentation (and interpretation) of the data ....yup. So what did you agree with and what particularly could you not fully embrace? Me thinks he was trying to appear to validate his choir with his interpretation of what they are likely to percieve as science.

There are 9 numbers he did not select...and as soon as he said 8 before he said anything else..infinity came to mind...and when 8/infinity does not die came up. It cemented the concept...to me...in my Biased mind. But as to the second part, I only have a nursery education on the topic and the...

Not saying he is wrong or right on any of his points, just saying when he was previously atheist and today as a believer...his beliefs influence his conclusions, and the leaps he takes to get them, as does his association with the organization and the audience which he is presenting. Appears he...

I found his number 8 discussion interesting...why did he pick us looking at the number 8? Me thinks because we all turn it sideways in our mind and contemplate infinity. So much neural linguistic programming used in writing and delivering this sermon.

Fascinating yes, intriguing yes, thought provoking yes. But my skeptical self was screaming is this just yet another aging atheist which is grasping at something later in life to feel comfortable about his mortality on this mortal coil, searching for some life extension albeit in the afterlife...

Seems to me your personal ethics and virtues will always supercede the edicts from on high at some point. There may be a cost to it if you break the norm, at a minimum people talk or roll their eyes, violate the "rule" far enough the law of the land will take over. That works both...

I am totally on the yes; but scale. Some folks are.free to choose since birth. In one case because their parents didn't coach them on what to think, just taught them how to think (rare) In another case if the parent taught them nothing in the way of belief. But most of us grow up with...

I suppose that is the answer...all of them you see as valid Christian Mystics? I mean they didn't add Charles Filmore or Edgar Cayce...well that is until I asked... Yes, both Charles Fillmore and Edgar Cayce are often considered Christian mystics, though their approaches and specific beliefs...

Nod and smile.
