    Live Well

    Live Well ~ To be thankful; even through the toughest of times ~ Especially towards God. Love God, and Love Others. :p Really simple way to live well; in my opinion. There is a verse in the bible that has Paul (this man had been beaten to death, put in jail, made tents for a living, also...

    Jesus' Four Failed Prophecies About Him Returning In The Lifetimes Of His Apostles

    There is a devil. If there is good, there is evil. You mentioned that Baha'ullah brought a new message and new social teachings and laws and the spiritual truths that He brought are the same as Jesus brought. Similar to Buddha, just because he said some truth doesn't mean that he was of God...

    Why Does God Permit Evil?

    I get the impression that you are not saying that God created the evil for the purpose of purifying his children, but that he allowed it, and for those who bear up, with his help, they gain much from their endurance. Philippians 4:11-13 James 1:4 In other words, while evil exists, it can...

    Is modern Christianity off track?

    It was not the thinking of the Pharisees as a group that he wanted to change....he was not sent to correct them as God has previously sent his prophets to do...they were not redeemable as a body, though individuals (like Nicodemus) could make up their own minds. Priests were among those who...

    Happiness

    I see so you regard the 'pursuit of happiness' as a fruitless and therefore pointless endeavor. A person is either 'happy' or 'unhappy' and nothing he does will change that. In other words, there are no events that bring you happiness: not birthdays, the birth of your children, not even a cold...

    Happiness

    Yes, the latter. it is frequently the "pursuit of happiness"--the belief that happiness is "over there, somewhere" and that we have to get to where happiness is if we want to be happy. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you can't be happy where you are, then you'll probably never be...

    Not slipping into delusion...

    I can see what you say, though to me, that isn't a delusion. Slipping into a state of mind, consciously, relies on and exploits a placebo. Let's say we have two football players. Both are physically equal. One is mentally in the game, confident, and ready to give it his all; the other is just...

    Not slipping into delusion...

    Let me make a counterpoint that slipping into delusion isn't necessarily a bad thing--as long as you are aware of it. Essentially, EVERYTHING is a delusion to some extent. We don't apprehend the "real world" directly, we perceive it through faulty senses and process it through filters of...

    What is a soul, for those who believe in its existence?

    There is nothing wrong with that. God is also a mystery, but God still exists. So it is the same with the soul and the spiritual world. I would rather accept the mystery of not knowing than believe in something that is more familiar yet not true. :D Do you think you know more than a...

    The Prosperity Gospel

    Philippians 4:10I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in...

    Religions in Human Evolution

    Once again, you are "assuming" I view the bible this way. Another reaction. Noah's ark is a beautiful spiritual, meditational story. Being a neuroscience guru... You should learn what opposites could be inside of your body (one unclean/one clean) and what the number seven pertains to from the...

    Religions in Human Evolution

    Yes there are bible scholars. You take the Bible as a factual book with no inconsistencies and I don't. " Writers of the Bible Biblical scholars since the 17th century have pointed to evidence that human writers, and in fact a number of different writers, composed the Bible. Mainstream Jewish...

    How can you deny the possibility of God's existence until..

    you missed the quote's meaning. "...For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Philippians 4:11 Whatever state, thristy even. You cannot be content and discontent. That is an oxymoron. This is more about mastery of self.

    How can you deny the possibility of God's existence until..

    Of course, be content. Of course, discontentment cannot calm-down thirstiness if one is thirsty, But this also doesn't mean that contentment calm-down thirstiness. Contentment is on its own place, Thirstiness is on its own place, One have to handle them differently.

    A first for this one I have seen, a "God-illness." chinu, whatever makes you happy. "...For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Philippians 4:11

    Quotes from the Saints

    I for one am really glad this thread is going. So thank you, Brother. I love reading the Desert Fathers and Mothers words and stories. For those reading who are wondering 'Why?'.... I don't want to turn this into a debate either, but thought I'd share a few favourable words on the subject...

    Jesus and Money

    Then check this out: "The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up" (1 Samuel 2:7) If being rich is really evil, then why would God make a person rich? "If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy...

    Had a really good experience in Phillippians today.

    {From some research that I'm working on..} In Philippians, Paul presents himself as a little Christ, patterning his conception of his apostleship after the Christ-hymn both conceptually and in vocabulary.[1] The parallel between the emptying of Christ and the emptying of Paul is evident as...

    LEFT WING CONSPIRACY (Satan's Plan For America)

    To pah pah quote I believe you will find, if you know your complete bible, chapter and verse that make social, economic and health issues moral Christian imperitives, Now don't be telling me that there is higher morality for you than the bible. Don't be saying that one part of Christian...
