    Knowledge Instead Of Faith, Direct Experience Instead Of Dogma

    That is funny as the catholics consider themselves the church universal and the blended in all these various other religions into the mix to keep all the new adherents happy at the outset. It does in the end boil down to brand preference.

    Opposers of christian universalism refuted

    Well, people find something or another for sure. These things are steps upon the way like grades in school. You are expected to graduate and move on to bigger things....so too with religions....they are the tutor (as Paul pointed out), which does imply a process of learning with the student...

    Opposers of christian universalism refuted

    Spent time working my way through the christian discipline. Let's not misunderstand. I may sound like I am really knocking religion, but that is not really the case. It is easy to form an assumption that is inaccurate due to it being based on a random or partial sampling of a larger idea. Forums...

    The war on vitamins.

    Don't you love this yuga?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Since the golden age is the yuga where we are the most enlightened and god-like, then this yuga is the one we are the most animalistic, so these things which are so perverse actually make sense, not that I condone them, but I see why it is...

    Opposers of christian universalism refuted

    I hope for better comprehension. All our problems are mental. It is all in what people think, what they know and what they think they know. All the improvements are going to happen when we change our minds about many things and that comes from a spiritual awakening. If the heart is cold...

    Did God know Eve would eat -- a non-Abrhamic perspective

    The original story was itself a re-write of much older stories which were condensed and altered significantly so what's the problem with doing it again?

    The war on vitamins.

    It seems like there will be no choice as to what kind of medicare is coming. You yanks will get what we have suffered for decades. You will find it is a mixed blessing, actually blessing and curse as it is nice to be looked after when you are injured, but you get little decision as to what kind...

    Bible Translation/Version Suggestions?

    It is true that the translations come close, but we are not throwing hand-grenades;). It is very useful, nay, necessary to do thee a thorough word search to get thy feel for the language which has had significant change in the past several thousands of years.:D Can't hurt and...

    Bible Translation/Version Suggestions?

    I prefer to read a bunch of translations when I want to decipher some passage with lexicons and word-studies. NASB or KJV works for general usage though. It wasn't written in English and so there are lots of issues as a result due to that....to be expected though.

    The Plato Code

    So.....what does Plato have to say then?] If he had some cryptography going on.....what did he say in the coded texts that was so important that it rated being put into code?

    Hello, hello...

    Hi, I also don't fit into any religious category. I came from the christian tradition, protestant variety but I have a completely different idea about such things now. Glad to see you here.

    Opposers of christian universalism refuted

    Sure, a lot of it will make sense....we can look at any of the christian denominations or any other abrahamic religion or any other and there is always going to be a lot of stuff there that makes sense. Thing is, one will always come to the hook in the bait, just like the idea we spent weeks...

    Why would Jesus save?

    Thing is, Jesus is really a placebo. People have been running around for centuries saying "Jesus saved me", "Jesus did this for me", Jesus did that for me"........ yet that is not so. The power of self hypnosis which used the redemption story as a catalyst is the power these people have been...

    There is no path to God, you're already there.

    The sense of community is a hard thing to leave. That is what the parable about the rich man was about (partly). I am not an atheist though......I do believe in God, but my definitions have changed a lot. I don't judge people by their religion, in fact, I don't judge.........I let their...
