Jesus is Coming Back for His Bride without Spot or Wrinkle

The conflict between fact and fiction can overwhelm, I understand AC.

One of the wisest sayings I've heard, and I think might be attributed to Socrates, is that "I know that I don't know."

Once I came to that realization, that's when it all started for me.

I know certain things, but in the end, I simply don't know.

I wish we could rate posts the way we rate threads you would get 5 *

I do not think Any Book with it's contents can be blamed for fallen Spirit of Man in general.

Thank You so much on such an reply. I agree so much with this what you just wrote..

LOL? You think this is funny? Or are you laughing at me for not accepting RCC teachings? That's no way to conduct a rational discussion.

YOUR "church" preserved some manuscripts, burnt others, and tortured and killed people who tried to put the Bible in the vernacular so ordinary people could read it for themselves. If you're proud of that legacy, we have nothing to discuss.

I can understand fully why Koffee isn't responding. But since this is all too funny in your eyes, I'll "humor" you this once.

Jesus will return for his Bride, composed of ALL who have the Holy Spirit, regardless of what petty or significant disagreements they may have with each other. Haven't you ever wondered what Judgment Day is for, if not to sort out all the secondary issues? God will untangle all the knots.

And if you think the RCC is going to slide right in, in spite of its haughty attitude toward all other followers of Jesus, you're in for a big surprise.

I think that faith is either blind obedience or blindly led obedience.

Once you empty/deprogram yourself you're on a more solid foundation to exercise critical thinking.

Many people have different notions of "spirit of Christ." And it's not always truth.

He's LOL'ing because you don't understand that everything you think you know about Jesus was handed down by the RCC.

Wherever you got your other wild interpretations about what you think you know is beyond anyone's understanding.

Truth is absolute or it is relativism.

A relationship with Jesus Christ is a personal experience, but it not something "made up" because the person of Jesus Christ is not made up.

Obedience is a result of recognizing this truth, that God himself entered into world history to reconcile the human race, to destroy sin (not wrong doing, but wrong being) and restore our relationship with the Creator. No other explanation for the reason we exist is more coherent than that which Jesus represents to the world.

Who is Jesus Christ to you?

I don't have any imaginary friends, but he was someone who showed us how to liberate our spirit from this creation.

I suspect his teachings were hijacked to control the population. These suspicions were confirmed by the discovery of the Nag Hammadi texts and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Baby Christians is all I can say. No answers just whatever
you wish to believe and that is fine with Our Lord.
I already asked, why return Lord? God very much "regards", not what you say here....

Doesn't matter "what petty or significant disagreements"...or..."secondary issues"

Wrongo.

God wants us all to believe the same, He says it over and
over in Scripture, in the oral tradition and in prophecy.

Friend, we're not talking about the Final Judgment, Koffee is talking about Jesus' coming back soon.

The Great Warning (Rev 6:15-17) is going to show you personally God's desire we become one in belief. Remember, remember and you won't be surprised.

Yes, I feel the same way.

Wow... calling us babies now, because we reject the RCC. Which fruit of the Spirit do you think that is? And then you call me "friend", don't you mean "little baby"?

I gave you answers, though you sure haven't earned the right to get them.

You're not my mom, my teacher, or my God, so you'll have to try putting a diaper on somebody else.

So you admit Jesus was an Historical figure?

How did He show us how to liberate our spirits from this creation?

Jesus was a married itinerant Jewish preacher who died 2000 years ago. His soul may return through reincarnation, just like anyone's.

How so?

Remember for the times ahead if you disagree now, receiving Jesus Christ into your person in the consecrated
host is a very personal experience. It's God's desire.

Sorry, this sounds like that "faith alone" nonsense again. "Faith Alone" is heresy that came from Martin Luther's head not God.

Justification comes by faith and works, making a decision
to do the will of God. Obedience isn't robotic, a result
of faith alone.

You decide every moment to follow God or not with the
help of His grace. Stay in the state of grace through
repentance, Confession and prayer and God's grace will
be present in your soul. The 7 Sacraments are source of
God's grace.

God wants you to freely choose Him, faith helps, it doesn't
make you do anything.

Unless you were there to here the words from the man's mouth, you have to assume that from the moment they were uttered, that mankind in its corrupted state of being would have corrupted his teachings.

That's how I really feel about it.

I simply don't know if he was a historical figure or not.

The Gospel of Thomas will get you started on the liberation of your spirit:
Jesus said, "He who will drink from my mouth will become
like Me. I myself shall become he, and the things that are hidden will become revealed to him."

The rest is thru the other ancient texts discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi. It's something that takes a lot of study and self-discovery.

You can also look at how sacred geometry ties in with your chakras and start to deprogram yourself and meditate.

I myself enjoy Tai Chi as a form of meditation.

This is also useful but take it with a grain of salt at 1st until you can pick out the cherries.

Good luck to ya. Like I said: "I know that I don't know."

Germany, this is an old protest about "control." God
gave everyone free will. The Church can't make you do
anything. Lamo protest.


God bless you,

Yet if you don't do these things you'll "go to hell."

Fear based control and duality. I guess it's a stepping stone. There are 2 emotions that everything is based off of: Fear and Love. Take your pick.

Bowman,

Believing this makes Our Lord a liar. He told Peter, Satan
will not overcome My Church (Matt 16:18). The evil one hasn't, sad though, soon, he's going to enlist the anti-Christ to try again.

When this happens, the true Church will go underground like
the first Christians went through...

To this day, the Church has never changed her teaching on
faith and morals. She follows Christ. So when you see
changes coming in the RCC, do not worry, it's temporary,
the evil one will not take down Christ's Church.

I mean, that's 2000 years of corruption on top of his teachings. Things like language, social control structures and the peer pressure they bring...those are things that you need to wade through if you were raised as a typical Christian, in order to bake out the corruption.

No friend,

There is good and evil you can't deny it. God's Commandments, His ways are good and holy. If you choose
evil, God didn't make you choose it.

Pray for His help, pray every day, that's easy to do.

Yeah I used to do that. Don't patronize me.

But would He not be considered an Arhat?

But look at how corrupted many of the 'middlemen of God' (clergy, etc.) have acted in these last few decades, where things have become harder to hide. There is no need for a middleman really, yet for 2000 years, middlemen were essentially 'God' to most people and that kind of power over people is how these groups thrive. They are men, not Gods.

You cannot go wrong when it's you and God and no one in between. Which is why I don't like to spend time tossing catch phrases and 'acting like a good Christian' in order to impress my peers around me. They can judge all they want. You know what I mean?

Have a nice week Koffee... and thanks for the thread.





David

My prayer for you is that Jesus would reveal Himself to you. Thank-you for the honest discussion.
