    Unconditional Love verses Conditional Rewards

    The Lord's Prayer I believe that true Father's love their children but they often DO naturally expect these same children to honor them as their "creator." I believe This (Honor) is certainly desired in keeping with Our Father's Law: Honour thy father and thy mother - Wikipedia I believe IF...

    Faith and mistakes

    Dear OP, It might seem at first glance that your initial post was concerning Revelation 9:6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.. But after your last post it might better be observed as a feeling similar to these Revelation...

    Can explicit atheists ever really understand atheism?

    Please forgive me for not expounding upon the specifics of the communication but the voice (singular) was like the noise of many waters and it came OUT of my right arm with what felt like the strike of a lightning bolt and then it commanded me. This occurred after three days of fasting and...

    Christians! If Jesus is NOT God, how do you explain Luke:18:19?

    Startling. Thank you for sharing. Here are links to messages which I pray will never lead astray: Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin. Lion of Judah -...

    Can explicit atheists ever really understand atheism?

    Lucky for us Proselytism - Wikipedia isn't illegal in this country. But getting back to the "I can't believe anything that might be a myth" theory that has been espoused, may I courteously recommend two of my favorite books for your edification...

    And again: The Illusion of Matter: Our Physical Material World Isn’t Really Physical At All Belief systems have shaped our reality since the beginning of conscious thought and will continue to do so. What we thought we once KNEW we now believe is wrong and what we now BELIEVE to be true is...

    The Horrors of Higher Consciousness

    In my younger days I got SO high one day that the rabbit hit me. HARD. Thank God I was too stoned to care.

    Christians! If Jesus is NOT God, how do you explain Luke:18:19?

    The divine nature of the Son of Man is bestowed spiritually: Psalm 2:7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: "You are My Son; today I have become Your Father. Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are My...

    Then what do you believe in?!

    As a protestant there is a be a bit of concern with the following link with regards to the "doctrines of men" which have crept in, but suffice it for this moment to be a small pebble thrown into a calm sea with faith in the Spirit of Truth to make things known which needs be known to whomsoever...

    1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. I think, therefore I Am? The Illusion of Matter: Our Physical Material World Isn’t Really Physical At All

    John 10:34 Jesus replied, "Is it not written in your Law: 'I have said you are gods' ?

    Christians! If Jesus is NOT God, how do you explain Luke:18:19?

    Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Daniel 5:25 Now this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN. 1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

    1 Corinthians 8:5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords), Nuff said? Peace be unto us all, event unto the end.

    Fifty Shades of Gay

    The message of Yehoshua the Messiah of Nazareth was simply a non-judgemental love. The Love of Our Father for all His Creation which he wanted His children to inherit. But, then as now, we would rather believe a lie than the truth. Our eyes are open and we KNOW both Good & Evil, but our...
