The Jesus-Michael connection.......... The Jesus-Michael connection.......... Hi RT, Just accidently deleted an epic response, quite detailed...., but this short version will have to do. As a preface, its important to note that Jesus is a Creator-Son, an higher order of divine Sons known as...

Reconsidering the 'concept' of 'blood-atonement'..... Reconsidering the 'concept' of 'blood-atonement'..... We've been over the concept of 'blood-atonement' many times before. There are good reasons to challenge, question and re-consider its validity. As far as what the term 'Christian'...

Truth has nothing to fear...... Truth has nothing to fear...... A reader of the material will learn to decide that for himself, having investigated, drawing his own conclusions. Truth is living, dynamic and spiritually discerned. Since you only have preconceptions and refuse an honest reading...

its all a matter of translation....... its all a matter of translation....... Hi zeke, My point stands however concerning pseudographs.....if Peter himself did not endorse Paul's writings....the claim is merely 'assumed'. The likely dating for the 2 epistles of Peter is still decades after...

Knock yourself out Knock yourself out For those interested, it is appropriate as to its religious philosophy and doctrine, as it agrees with Judeo-Christian theology and where it differs and expands on such a revelation of God and the cosmos. More care about a more expansive theology than you...

2 Peter 2 Peter Again, most scholars agree that 2 Peter is pseudographical, dating from 100 - 160 A.D. - Peter died in the 60's. It appears you haven't done your textual-criticism research but are merely believing a writing just because a reputable name has been stamped on it and its in the...

God is all-inclusive and all-transcending...... God is all-inclusive and all-transcending...... Why must it be 'one' or the 'other', and not that there is truth in both, and other religious works even? :idunno: Prove to readers that one MUST choose only one. Convince anyone, beyond..."because...

The thought-adjuster....... The thought-adjuster....... Here we see that one's full attention given to 'God' opens up the soul to 'Deity'. 'God' is the one universal omnipresent reality, while also indwelling the mind of man as the 'thought-adjuster' (or 'spirit-monitor') so that man has...

Get educated............. Get educated............. I think if they adjusted your 'meds' (among other mental/physical alleviations), and you actually made some headway about learning to think for yourself both creatively and intelligently, you'd stop musing about UFO's and little green men...

That and more. One who is secure in reality has no need to trash or demean others, neither is that one bigoted as to clinging to their own concept of truth as absolute. 'God' is omnipresent, being infinite. pj

I AM free in spirit........ I AM free in spirit........ No reason to assume such, since the spirit of God in man is free to lead and guide the soul by what truth is available. A new epochal revelation gives a new and better comprehension of the whole. Truth liberates......it is not subject to...
