I remember thinkiung GOD was so powerful and I was kinda afraid of him, not like a Boogeyman Fear, but a fear of respect and thinking about him when I was going to do something I knew was wrong... Sure I grew up and kinda put GOD on the back burner, but I always knew through all my hardships and Joy that GOD was around because I remember that book Paradise Lost.. When I was older I finally re-dedicated my life to GOD and been living in his spirit ever since!

Actually the only one. I made a challenge to Christians to put their money where their mouth is. Quoting: PokerFace I"m sure you are aware that they are millions of christians doing charity work each day around the entire world, 365 days a year. Most good people do and I most certainly do. There are thousands of people who do more good than I do, are more moral than I am, are more honest than I am... That's not what makes a Christ-follower distinctive nor is it a particularly good measure. What differentiates a Christ-follower from those who don't is that we are responsive to Him. Spot on! |

Quoting: PokerFace I don't think God can be defined. As much as we try. God is love. No other explanation was needed for me in that place. The intensity of that love was undeniably the most beautiful thing one can ever experience. It's beyond words and comprehension. It's all about having an 'experience' of the Divine... I would say you had one of the most complete EVER! That kinda thing goes way beyond the bible.... iMoo anyway :) That's why I say I don't need faith. Faith is a hard road to travel. I'm just fortunate I think. I nearly died, so I don't know how fortunate I am really. LOL. FAITH is a belief in something that cannot be proven. You had a personal & direct experience that goes well beyond faith :) I've had many of those experiences. It's not belief, but knowing that He is real. Praising and worshiping Him and following His commandments comes from a heart of gratitude and love for Him. |

Quoting: PokerFace On one of my posts. Actually the only one. I made a challenge to Christians to put their money where their mouth is. So I started a turkey drive for the holidays here on GLP. L L, you participated on my thread. I treat all people with respect. This is GLP, sometimes I'm just as rough as others though. We can't always agree on things. But this is the real world. We have to do what's right. Yes, I remember the post. But that doesn't answer the question, or maybe I'm missing the answer. Why do you hate christians? Sorry, I realize now I skirted the question. No, I don't hate Christians. I think many are far too gone. They focus on God more than they focus on real life. If we ever want to get to God, we have to treat each other better. I hate the aspect of religion that looks down on other human beings. Doesn't matter the religion. God is our real life, the energy that keeps our hearts beating comes directly from Him. LISA... that is true for EVERYone... it is the Spirit of God that animates us ALL. The only difference between say you and I... and unbelievers is; unbelievers have yet to enter into a relationship with the Spirit within. It's there though.... 24/7 Your garden variety Illuminati Princess~ |

All of our lives come from Him and Him alone. The difference between you and me is that you believe you are a god and I believe I am a human right now. I believe God is external and when we ask Him into our heart is when the Holy Spirit dwells within us. I believe mankind is sinful and must repent from sins and seek forgiveness through Jesus Christ. I believe in the coming judgement of God. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16837293 God has never done that. It is just God haters telling you so. Read the Bible yourself. God is a loving God to those who love Him. Those who hate God and work wickedness... another story. But, warning after warning after warning comes first. |

It developed out of one I had with biblical Jesus. Quoting: Abalone~ I'd like to hear more about that. Do you love this "christ consciousness?" Does it love you back? YES! OMG YES! I see it's expression in everything and everyone... because basically, that is precisely what the CHRIST consciousness is. Does that help? Thanks for asking me, I appreciate it. There are many of us... who... having been let down by the hypocrisy of the church, sought a more meaningful experience of the Divine despite being called 'satanic" for doing so. Even Revelations calls the church a harlot and asked people of faith to leave her. But no one stops to consider why. Thank you for replying. I wish for you a life-lasting and beyond enduring love with Jesus. A personal relationship that goes far beyond what you describe. That is but the tip of the iceberg of what I have discovered/experienced. I am afraid you missed a couple of my posts here or you wouldn't have have said the last sentence :) Your garden variety Illuminati Princess~ |

When I was older I finally re-dedicated my life to GOD and been living in his spirit ever since! Yes, sorry, we did stray. Like the bible says, we innately know the difference between right and wrong. I do believe that. Some just fell off the turnip truck and dinged their heads. I'm certain people are no more depraved than they were thousands of years ago. History tells us that. I grew up Christian and believe certain aspects of the bible as completely right. It was confirmed by my experience. We need to learn to love one another OP. That is the answer to your opening post. We cannot continue to divide people no matter what religion, culture, color or sexual orientation. Once we achieve love in this world, God will smile. |
