been there...

i was raised in it,
i was indoctrinated,
i knew it was real...
i even went as far sharing it

until i realized, once one puts a label on something it limits that something...
and god, or the idea of god, is limited if it's understood through the biased lens of the bible.

so i decided to...think for myself.

Were you raised to study and search the word of God or raised to believe in a religion? I don't believe the bible can be understood by reading it as a book report. I believe the bible is more like a big puzzle, you have to study and put the pieces together.

i agree with your last sentiment:

to me it was a way that a certain group of people reconciled their current challenges in the world they lived in.

but it's not the only book...history teaches us more, the bible is a part of that puzzle...it's not the puzzle.

the way i see it is, we are the puzzle.

In my opinion the closer my connection to God then the more sensitive I am to my conscience. I know I have a mind and I know I have a conscience. These things are not vague beliefs but reality. My conscience is my sense of what is right and what is wrong. Whether it existed from the time I was born as guide or my standard of conscience has been learned as I have grown I still have it and consider it to be Gods way of guiding me, as well as other things like intuition and other people through our interactions. But with people as well as the conscience I really need to be listening in order to be guided correctly. And so my relationship with God as a living experience affects how i am listening to my conscience. People stop listening to it and essentially kill their conscience and go in a bad direction. For myself there are many groups out there and they seem to be all relative to each other with many varying beliefs. No matter what group an individual is in they still have a conscience.

Most people doesn't realize that they have a body, heart, soul, and spirit. They only want to connect with the physical. Yes we all have a conscience, good or bad!:yes:

are you suggesting that those that do not believe in the idea of god do not have a conscience or if they do it's a bad one?

May I ask you something? In bible collage were you taught to use the word of God Or the Old Paths Archive?

For my soul, I eat his flesh and drink his blood (His blood in the new testament)!

There's a difference between Magic and Magick. Therefore it is also a difference
between Magician and Magickian. There is no misspelling, there is just a mis-
understanding.

What is the difference? I have never heard of the term Magickian before.

Do you think that lying makes you a better Christian ?



This is the third time you have made this rediculous claim.

I am still waiting for just "one" prophecy.



It is you who openly disgraces Christianity and the message of Jesus by claiming to speak for God, to know the mind of God, what God is made of, and so forth.

It was this type of thinking that caused the Church to burn, torture and persecute people in the name of God using the exact same arguments that you do. What possibly could be more disgraceful than that.

Making wild and unsubstantiated claims about the Bible does not help uplift the reputation of the Church either.

What would help is if self professed born again Christians, who are in the minority, would stop demonizing other Christians because they do not share their warped version of Christianity.

Still waiting for one prophecy, of these thousands that you speak of, that has come true.

What do I have to do to stop you from addressing me? I have said several times I think our discussion is a disservice to God. I have no problem countering your incorrect claims but have repeatedly told you to PM me if that is what you want. I am done.
