    Hi,
    This subject has come up.

    A chinese philosophy of balance in nature between opposing but balancing forces.

    Another popular but false human religious concept.

    Nick….interesting , so you don't believe in opposites right is not opposite left, up isnot opposite down, back is not opposite of forward, up hill is not opposite of down hill and another billion others…You believe it is (FALSE HUMAN RELIGION) right. So how t]do you operate your life in this world if you don't believe in opposites then? What give you your sense of directions then

    love and peace………………gene

    You are right.
    Taoism is not my faith.

    NIck………Taoism as a faith or religion has nothing to do with what i ask, its just another ploy by to to avoid the oblivious questions. No point of even discussing this.

    You said in another thread
    “. Nick a Key is to understand GOOD (AND) EVIL is to understand Thats what LIFE consists of (good and evil) “
    Sounds like taoist philosophy to me.

    You said in another thread.
    “Just for arguments sake lets say (ALL) KNOWLEDGE, both GOOD AND EVIL always existed (NO) new thought ever did exist, while it may be new to us , it has none the less always existed (nothing new under the sum) doesn't it say what is has already been there is nothing new. So it becomes a matter of good thoughts or evil thoughts both have (ALWAYS EXISTED), we are vessels that these can be poured into through exposure to them. We have both good and evil thoughts in us and as a result we are not pure but concidered by God as unclean and need to be cleansed, but how is this done>. “

    Sounds like taoism again.
    Why not listen to Jesus?

    NIck……….Thats because you don't perceive the truth so you have to try to label what you can't intelligently discuss. AS i said before you really need to go and reread what EP Wrote to you.

    Hi Gene and Nick. I'm having trouble figuring out which of you is the yin and which is the yang.

    Gene, now that I know you're a taoist, many of your previous comments make so much more sense.

    :D

    This chinese philosophy adds nothing to the truth of Scripture.

    Colossians 2:8
    Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

    I guess the Anti-Christs are coming out of the woodwork. How so very much disgusting. Makes me want to crawl under the blanket and go to sleep til Christ comes.Chinese philosophy? Paganism, Christiadelphians, what else, besides Atheist.
    I wish all of you good luck, I have come out of Her” my People”.

    Nick…….your Just trying to divert truth by labeling subject matter. Is that the best you can do. How foolish Can't explain you disagreements with scripture so set out to label what people are talking about , Let see, we have Universalism, gnosticism. now Taoism, what else do you have in your little bag of tricks.

    peace and love……………..gene

    Nick……..The word Taoism, came out of you bag of tricks not mine. Nick you need to quite labeling People and what there saying and stay with the subjects being posted and produce you proofs if you disagree, learn not to label it doesn't advance your teaching or position on a subject at all. It just shows your ignorance on the subjects being talked about.

    peace…………………gene

    I don't know Gene. Your whole: “the kingdom is within” sounds very eastern religionish. :)

    David ……..if GOD doesn't rule within you then you can not be one of His. In fact its impossible if He is not in you. That may be the reason your not able to see things form a Spiritual standpoint David. I have noticed people who are very religious always want to label others why is that, while most don't do that. Interesting.

    love and peace to you and yours…………………….gene

    Being that I'm the only one of the two of us that uses scripture in our comments to one another, I'm not sure you're in a position to assert the above.

    Gene, didn't you notice the smily faces.  I was of course just messing with you.  I highly doubt you're a toist.  Buddist, perhaps, but toism?  Common!

    :;):

    1 CORINTHIANS 2:12-13
    “Now we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been kindly given us by God. These things we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by [the] spirit, as we combine spiritual [matters] with spiritual [words].”
    If it isn't in the Bible, it's just human wisdom, or tradition. If we cannot take a spiritual discussion and add spiritual words from the Bible, then, something is wrong.

    If we recognise Taoist concepts in your dogmas why would you feel labelled?

    Nick………I don't recognize any Taoist dogma in anything i am saying this is your word you brought in this not me. you are a labeler and that is obvious to all, when ever you cant used intelligent conversations you op out by labeling the person or His subject matter. Which really only show us your lack of understanding of what being said. And as far as that go Taoism may have some sound truth in what they say , i really don't know personally about the because i never studied it. So I am not going to call it a dogma or anything. You seem to fell free to label it as a dogma not me.
