Yes we can, it has been done, and people are doing it as we speak. I think Buddism is one of the better religeons if you want to call that. A way of life is more like it. Ego is an obstical you have to over come. Just put it aside like it wasnt even there. stars |

Every individual soul has to find their own way with whatever teacher fits. There is more than one way back to God, and remember the bible was written by man. I think your analogy is off. Solomon ordered the baby to be cut in half as a test to see which woman loved the baby more. Which ever woman said, "No! You can have the baby!" was the one who loved the baby more. That has nothing to do with what Yeshua/Jesus said when He said, "I AM the way, the Truth and the life, and no one may go to the Father but through Me." You see, your argument is not with this poster, but instead is with Yeshua/Jesus Himself. He's the one who said it, so you may want to take it up with Him. It can't simply be a case of "any teacher fits," because so many teachers are leading people in exact opposite directions or paths. They can't all be right. By self-definition if one is right, so many others can't be. And if you think they are mistaken, you are proclaiming that you know better than all those other teachers about their own religions. That seems to be a very arrogant position to take, don't you think? God Himself said, "Here is my Son, in whom I'm pleased." Yeshua/Jesus was only doing His Father's will. And that includes when Yeshua/Jesus said that He is the only way. The bible was indeed written by man, but by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to get it right. The bible is our instruction manual for a relationship with God. Why would He let us get it wrong? And if we think some of it is wrong, which parts are wrong? - just the parts we don't like? That cafe approach to spirituality is disingenuous. We can't pick and choose which parts we like, and which parts we don't like, if they don't fit within our preconceived box of interfaith/ecumenicistic thought. |

Serenity777 User ID: 1129812 United States 10/07/2012 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, it seems that your ego has gotten the best of you to proclaim that you have achieved a higher level of serenity over religious people. There are many people, in many walks of life, in many stages in their spiritual development. This development goes up and down, depending on how much we turn ourselves away from the Love of the Supreme Being or not. The more we turn to ourselves for help, instead of the Love of Supreme Being, it will bring us either further away or closer to freedom. It is getting easier now to grow spiritually faster, but we can easily turn back too due to our limitations and difficulty in surrendering.

May it continue to bring you much peace and joy within your whole heart and whole being.

[link to www.dalailama.com] so op you want peace without justice cause you are a liar or a sheep you and dalai liar lama can: Well...you're certainly "par for the course." I'll have to admit...the OP is definitely more serene than you, and despite his/her egoic statement about being at a higher state of consciousness than those wrapped up in religion, I'll support the idea that they also are showing higher qualities of "Christ-like" wisdom than yourself. You're not a very good representative sample of those who follow your religion. That's for sure. This is precisely what the OP was referring to when he stated that he had achieved a "higher level of serenity." You helped prove his point, despite the fact that other intelligent people were trying to counter it with logic and LOVE. BRAVO...Brilliant... I guess I retract all of my previous statements about the OP not achieving a higher state of serenity than people like yourselves. -You helped him prove it...LITERALLY.

Eternal life, and all it entails, is availabe through one: the Lord Jesus Christ. He is alive, and you can ask Him to lead you to Truth. Don 't take my word for it. I am not promoting religion. I am suggesting an introduction to a living Person. He WILL reveal Himself if you ask Him. ...Loving souls, starving trolls... |
