I deleted this thread

Someone asked on another thread for biblical scriptures to substantiate what I said.

I think Paul's words on the fruit of the spirit should be our guide line. I think there are parts that weren't recorded right, but I don't have any off the top of my head.

It's more the interpretation of the scriptures that I was referring to. I'm sorry I didn't make that more plain.

The problem with christianity unfortunatley, is that it strips away common sense..

None of the bible was written by a god.

"common sense should tell one if the Bible is the inerrant and infallible word of God"

... lol, Bible's an 'inside' job... Man is still mostly about 'outside' kinda stuff.





... or, lol, and within them very same said conceptualities... if indeed G/god is all that is, or the Alpha and the Omega as the Bible puts it... then all that is written is via a G/god... for within them very terminologies, where could, and/or would 'all that is' not be is-ing is-elf?

it sounds like you believe in something so much that you wouldn't listen to any information regarding what you admire.

listen to this though, god is representative of the sun, all other disciples are representative of the constellations upon the celestial sphere (12 disciples, 12 constellations) the bible and any other religious document which is comparable is entirely an astronomical record of events throughout time.

I know i'm not able to judge what one person has been trained to believe, obviously it isn't anyones place to question the master and slave relationship you must have endured your entire life. but believe this, there is only one god that is universal on this miserable planet, that god is the sun.

Alas, the GLP gods against you - your OP immortalized in an AC quote..

I had to think on your OP for a while, which is why I am back now.

I agree about how you say Matthew 4-6 is the part of the bible that resonates with your true soul. There are others, too, for me - quite a bit of John and some Acts I felt pertinent. Although I feel much of it was symbolic and crafted by an 'interpreter' along the way. Truth is, we may never know.

I always had problems with Paul. I think Saul wrote most of his stuff, but here and there lovable Paul would poke through and even Apollos once or twice. you know what I mean. In general I feel the 'Apostle' Paul was a bit 'off'.. a zealous man, but misogynistic and self-sadist, all at once. Maybe he couldn't stand his own look in the mirror. Or maybe he was just another literary homunculus gratia pax imperium.

Nevertheless, more than a couple gems came through him, which have helped me in many ways over the years

2 Cor 9:7 Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Galatians 6:4 But let each one prove what his own work is, and then he will have cause for exultation in regard to himself alone, and not in comparison with the other person. For each one will carry his own load.


and I always liked this one from James:

4:17 If one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him.



God IS Love - and resides within us. Whatever we do inspired by love, we do with all of God's blessing, reinforcement and true power.
