Quoting: Mr. HypGnostic You shoudlnt believe me, you should never believe anything anyone tells you. You need to do your own research, do not accept words written in a book as fact until you know exactly who wrote it and if they had an alterior agenda and once you get there DIG DEEPER! How do you know that it's not the Devil talking to you in your meditations. It sure seem to me that way. What about my beliefs gives you the idea that i am being tricked by satan? Because i dont fall victim to a book written by men and bow down to kiss your gods ring? You say "man is god". You say you can do "anything you want". This is Satans gospel. He tricked you into rejecting god. I dont just say man is god i say everything is god. From the grass to the giraffs, we are one. I do not reject god, i reject religion. In Lak`ech. |

That's not a good enough reason to let me forsake god. There is no forsaking god because you are god... I'm not god. You are a liar. God lives within you and experiences reality through you. Your personal demon does, but not god the creator. |

That's why life is tough and ugly - it's a compost heap from which will spring God's greatest harvest. There's a line to cross, and it's not for everyone (just yet). This line consists of self sacrifice and Mercy, no different than what Jesus engaged in. Those who "easily lose every intention to be good" are just not there yet. Christianity-at-large is short-sighted, and doesn't realize that this is all barely the beginning. Christians largely don't understand what salvation is, or how it's reached. It's not about getting to heaven - it's about becoming Christlike. Until we can bite the the bullet and forfeit the impulse to retaliate or sell out, we still need more refinement. . .and God specialized in custom-made obstacles suited for each individual, on their level and for their own strengths and weaknesses. OP sounds like he just wants to be good and do good, and that's pretty Christlike. Any imposed religious window dressing is merely semantics. Why would I want to become christlike if I don't go to heaven? What do you think heaven is? Would you really want to exist in a realm where your soul has no room for growth? Stuck in a land where you have nothing to look forward to for eternity? What comes after heaven, super heaven? What is the point of heaven? to exist forever without advancing your soul? what a good question op, it seems to me,existence is a learning process, endless, and endlessly rewarding, each thing learned, each discipline mastered, opens the doors to new questions about god, about life, about good. so much to know- why wouldn't it take an eternity? |

Quoting: kryon wow it looks like you and me have same way of thinking... its good to know that you can see the bigger picture.. do you know a teacher named Bashar on youtube...?? :red_heart: I am familiar with bashar yes. You should look up three men. Drunvalo Melchiezedek, George Kavassilas and Dr. Mitchel Gibson. Three very amazing teachers. I hate to tell you, but this is your religion. You don't need human involvement to form a world view. Shaping a model on behavior, morals, anything that comes from human sources is really just the same as taking it from a book. Your belief system is shaped by 'teachers', that is your religion; the teachings of these men, while denying the teachings of another. You need none of this to thrive as a productive, moralistic human being. Asking for a healthy debate on this forum is basically just asking for threats and or a heated argument. Not neccessarily. I am quick to call bullshit on anyone at anytime. i found my own answers before flocking to a teacher and that is how i know i am on the right path. You forget to call it what it is: the right path FOR YOU. When discussion philosophy religion most seem to completely disregard the fact that these personal truths are simply truths that you've found to be compatible with you. But to claim they are the "right path" is a grave mistake. Another thing. Your entire belief system breaks down to the fact that you believe in a god, while directly opposing the bible, because it is man made invention. I agree, but let me pose this question; is god not also man's invention? The entire idea of god (as far as I'm concerned) has it's origins in the minds of men, not from some succint rule that all humans live by. To deny one, while claiming the other is complete truth is the most paradoxical argument I can think of. We should all practice e-prime more often. Start using phrases such as 'might be', or 'in my opinion', instead of working in these definitive explanations that aren't explanations at all are they. Prove to me the very concept of god doesn't have an origin in the same fashion as the bible, and I may continue to consider this "debate.". |
