Re: I believe the quickest way to advance spiritually is to have as little to do with the fallen world as possible
The spirit stream animating the body is always whole, and no, it cannot die, in spite of yourself...

The body, your spirit is animating is a whole other matter...

The body is corrupt, and a battle is raging for who will dominate - the spirit or the body???

In earther body's, there is a major challenge - due to genetic altering and manipulation, and the many pressures of society...

It is a challenge, but, it is the major reason you are here...Many dead ends and obstacles placed in your way, of which the christ concept is a whopper for some people...

Re: I believe the quickest way to advance spiritually is to have as little to do with the fallen world as possible
Maybe Im exagerating..I feel the place is cursed and rotten to the core..and it has the ability to corrupt all that it touches unless one is spiritually whole
 Quoting: wildhoney


Nobody is spiritually whole, that is a lie of this world that it's even possible.

You will be corrupted. The ultimate clue that you are still under corruption is the corruption of the flesh through Death.

Those who are corrupt will die, and those who are perfect cannot be killed.

Christ resurrected, and in Christ we become Occultishly Cleansed.

It is the only escape, unless you want to reincarnate for millions of years. Only problem with this is that there aren't many generations left.

maybe this IS the last generation

And how many love the church above its members *question mark*

when someone is suffering..or is in pain or needs help..words sometimes arent enough..help is needed..tangible help

To be there for eachother..to love eachother..so no one is left out in the cold

words wont cut it..

words are cheap and easy..

Re: I believe the quickest way to advance spiritually is to have as little to do with the fallen world as possible
too easy to say to bare ones suffering and lump it

thats not what Christ did

when anyone came to Him to ask for help..He helped..

he didnt say..keep your suffering and dont bother me

or some well sounding words

He cured..He healed in body and soul

when they were hungry..He didnt say..tough..sit and shut up and listen to my words

He fed them..with fish and bread


too many good sounding words

so easy

Re: I believe the quickest way to advance spiritually is to have as little to do with the fallen world as possible
To take that little effort to be of help..

If someone comes to you asking for help..maybe God sent them..

Too often one is told to accept the suffering..

oh absolute rubbish!

when did Christ say that *question mark*

Did He refuse anyone when He was asked for help *question mark*

Did He send them off with a couple of nice scriptural quotes *question mark* telling them to continue hungry..or sick..or invalid..or blind *did he*

Did he tell the fihermen too bad they couldnt fish *question mark*

Did he refuse to turn the water into wine *question mark*

he gave..and gave..and gave..putting Himself last

No..He went out of His way to be of help

in every way

because that was Christ

Avoiding the "corrupt" world is selfish. IMHO I believe its more important to be a ray of sunshine in a stormy world than to go hide in a cave alone.

You can participate without embracing and be an example for change without being a leader.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21789624


This may be fundamentally true, but the problem is that (right now) we are in Negative polarity (whether you choose to understand that or not) and from this perspective we do not have a proper frame of reference.

In other words, when we truly get to experience existence in Positive Polarity, we may find that we quite like it for a time. From there, it will be much easier to take one's self out of the game and meld with the one.

From this current perspective we are offered only traps and illusions.

Re: I believe the quickest way to advance spiritually is to have as little to do with the fallen world as possible
Hi. I'm a big advocate of being in the world without being of the world.

This being said, I think we all need to be aware of our own areas of temptation, and if there is some place or person that we need to stay away from then so be it. Think of the alcoholic who chooses not to go to bars. I do think, however, the number of places we can go and people we can be around far outweigh the number we should avoid.

The great commission begins with the word, "Go", and if we pray and rely on the HS then we will find how we are to proceed. And by all means, involve others as well. We need not be going out into the world by ourselves. That's what the body is for (among other things).

Christians isolating themselves does nothing in advancing the good news. It's just not what is planned for us. Plus it makes Christ's representatives seem weird and freaky, and there have already been too many incidences in history of whacky Christians tarnishing Jesus in non-believers' eyes.

Re: I believe the quickest way to advance spiritually is to have as little to do with the fallen world as possible
Ive been pondering..

and flip flopping..

well maybe yes..maybe not

etc..

but after today and a conversation I had with someone very of the fallen world..and the lesson learned from the info received..I have personally no doubt..it was eye opening and very disappointing in many many ways..

I think one has to be very stong in every way to entertain the fallen world and not be influenced by it in some way or other

I personally feel the solution is to have as little to do with it as possible

and that is what I intend to do

God Willing
 Quoting: wildhoney


Jesus was around the fallen world constantly. spiritual growth comes from overcoming the fallen world and transforming it, not hiding from it. obedience and relationship with God is our source of growth and power!

Re: I believe the quickest way to advance spiritually is to have as little to do with the fallen world as possible
To be spiritually advanced does not mean blocking off anything.

What is around you? Positive and negative.

All you need to do is balance.

What is spirituality?

Being highly aware of your spirit?

Your higher self?

You must be that of which pulses of spirit.

You must be everything.

Be creation.

Be sincere, humble, passive.

Having a job or not having a job?

Being spiritually advanced in both situations benefits you anyway.

Do you really need anymore benefits from outside of you?

Or that which is within?

Perhaps it maybe a talent, a passion.

Passion unites us all.

 Quoting: William_the_Bloody


we are as corrupted as we choose to be
church doesn't de-corrupt people- that's true - but people who go to church are only denied de-corruption by themselves

one thing that might keep them corrupted is the belief that they are corrupt until they die and can't DO anything to alter that


we are all saved btw -no-one is lost in the grand scheme of things - we might just take many more life times to realise that


and we are NOT the last generation - why would we stop evolving when we haven't achieved perfection physically and spiritually?


physically - we have come a long way- spiritually - we have a long way to go

I think we are the last generation in this dimension we call reality

I think something is in the making

and it will change everything

reality will continue I believe..but different..and the ones who will inherit it will not be as we are now

wether we inherit it or not remains to be seen

Many are ready..very ready..and its because of this ..and because its the season..that the change will happen..thats what I believe

This incongruence will end..and with it all the knuckle dragging drolling spiritual primitiveness

my opinion

Im actually quite surprised it lasted so long

I think the reason is that it was waiting fo soemthing concrete to happen

a process had to come to a head

and I think it has

because of this..

I believe the change will happen

for this reality..this world to continue as it is..

oh no

I absolutely totally firmly believe that it wont

this is the last generation

The Creators wishes are reality

The Earth and its Creator are one..

What the Creator wishes happens..

The love bond between the two is unbreakable

The earth belongs to its Creator

and the Creator is saving it and renewing it

and gently handing it over to those that have earned it

All the above my opinion
