for those who truly realize our situation - this message is for you.

whats with the Paul quotes lately WHOs payin for this

indeed

call her by many names

Don't have to look very far for examples of "40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness" in the bible, otherwise known as "meditation retreats" in other faiths

You say that like christianity is some hidden knowledge... TPTB manipulated your book of faith back in 325 AD wake up dude.

5* suggest a pin

You don't even understand it. To you, it is a story of myth and legend.

Good sheeple!

Now go back to sleep.

there is esoteric knowledge that most have NO IDEA about

but everyone has the right to their own opinion, and god loves you regardless.

Ah! A thinking man! Before the 4th century, there were Two flavors of christianity. One was put to the death by the other, it's texts hunted down and burned.

That other had the support of TPTB in the form of Constantine and his cronies!

The knowledge they destroyed is still contained within the bible in the form of the metaphors and parables, though!

So while you are correct about TPTB's actions, said actions caused that "hidden knowledge" to be secretive, whereas previously it was open knowledge practiced all over the place.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

That would be an ecumenical matter.

made me go look that up but yes agreed :)

universal!

belief

confidence; faith; trust:

You look upon god as if, you are separate from the him. I guess you are still learning. As the 11 million raise their frequency through the heart, many will feel the connection to their god within.

?? how do you know how i look upon god as?

you are not still learning? interesting to assume so...

"their" god?/

it is one god, the source and center, of all.

i love how satan tries to infiltrate this thread

bah

i succumbed.. a little.

Okay

a) Shut up about Satan. It's not Satan infiltrating your thread. People are allowed to have differing opinions to your own, and you should always take into account the possibility that you're wrong. Just because you can't see or understand that you might be wrong, doesn't mean Satan is trying to infiltrate your thread. Grow up.

b) "For those who truly realize our situation" is a retarded thing to say. You do not truly realize our situation. You think you do. Just like everyone else here. They all think they've figured out exactly what's going on in the world, and I'm sure most people here have differing perspectives on some level or another. Don't pat yourself on the back acting like you are one of the few that understands what's going on in the world. YOU HAVE IDEAS that you probably read about on the internet. That's it. You cannot say for sure, or truly understand, because NO ONE can or does. It's pompous to act that way. It's close minded.

Always keep in the back of your head that you might be wrong. Question your beliefs. This is the only way you'll ever come close to finding truth. OTherwise you'll just be continually trying to prove your already chosen beliefs to be correct, which is a fuckin pathetic thing to do.

And one more time, grow up.

Lets finish the race. People of God, stay strong!

The only thing you should ever trust is your own personal experiences. You can read 1 million different things in 1 million different books. Doesn't make them all true.

Perhaps you just happened to pick up the bible before the Qu'ran so then you ended up a Christian. Does it make the bible any more true because you read that book first?

AMEN

one day you will sit back and look back at this conversation and say wow.

you make valid points, but do not speak to me as if I'm your child. its the other way around

Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?

what is the message for if they already 'truly realize'?
