Hi Tim,These are lyrics to the song “Woodstock” by “Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young”. I think they potray in essence alot of what you profess in your humble opinion. I share this to let you know there are others that have experienced such deep thoughts.Quote We are stardust, we are golden, we caught in the devil's bargain,And we got to get ourselves…[Read more]

Hi Tim,I am going to present an analogy and thought experiment. Please tell me if this in some fashion harmonizes with your outlook. Think of living life a 'certain way' as living within a dynamic 'sphere of knowledge'. Before Adam and Eve partook of the tree of knowledge of both good and evil they lived in one 'sphere of knowlegde' afterward…[Read more]

To pace e amore,Quote Yes. And no matter what we are if christian or if jew or if a muslem or if another, and no matter what truth that we think that we may hav, will not do us any good if we are a hypocrate, and if we can not love our neighbour as we are love ourself.To my mind this sounds like something Jesus himself might of said. I may be…[Read more]

Stu, God will be my judge and he knows my heart and intent. The structure you are illustrating here has you knowing how God will judge me. Within this structure you can judge me all you want it is a human beings nature to judge things that is how we arrive to conclusions based on observations. Such things as while driving a car down the road and…[Read more]

Hi Everyone, One of the questions put forward in the O.P. was “How do we recieve truth?” I would like to post some scripture and comment about it.Quote Matthew 16:13-20 (King James Version) 13When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some say…[Read more]

Hi Mike,Quote Wispring, what exactly is the will of the Father in heaven?Well, brother, this scripture fairly well sums up for me what the will of the Father in heaven is.Quote John 14:23 (King James Version) 23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and…[Read more]

Hi Tim,Quote You realize that we are not disscussing mainstream accepted religion here!Is that right? Well, just so you are aware of this, I don't subject my soul to the experience of reading the bible to find religion. I do this to help myself find the mind of Christ and find God within me. Just where Jesus told me it would be.Luke 17:20-21 (King…[Read more]

Hi SF,Quote Actually your completely Wrong. The reason I created this thread was to Antagonize the Anti-Trinitarians and thier belief in MANY GODS. (such as Mike, who is a very old guy, with a great white beard and who picks his nose alot)I stand corrected. I am sure you are very Christ-driven when you seek to antagonize.Quote and by the way, You…[Read more]

Stu, I did it for fun! Our God wants us to have fun frome time to time. Being creative is one of his favorite activities.:laugh: With Love and Respect(and yes a sense of humor too!) Wispring

Hi Mike,Quote It's hard to debate the spiritual truth, Wispring. I could say that the Holy Spirit is telling me Jesus is NOT God while Dennison could say that same spirit is telling him Jesus IS God. Where would that leave us?First, I will have to wholeheartedly agree with you that debating spirtual truth is a hard thing. Secondly, It would most…[Read more]

I feel this post is relevant for the promisies of the new covenant and this thread also so I am posting it here.Hi Tim, Just some thoughts here relating to the Garden of Eden story. That worm/snake that persuaded Eve was living in the same Garden right? It was a very unique snake it could reason. It wasn't cast out of the garden before Adam and…[Read more]

Hi Tim, Just some thoughts here relating to the Garden of Eden story. That worm/snake that persuaded Eve was living in the same Garden right? It was a very unique snake it could reason. It wasn't cast out of the garden before Adam and Eve so it's fairly safe to believe it also hadn't eaten of the tree of good and evil also if you assume like…[Read more]

Hi Tim, Just thoughtful question out of curiosity. Do you think the ability to hate was with Adam and Eve before they partook of the Tree of Good and Evil? With Love and Respect, Wispringp.s. I am 99.999% sure of…[Read more]

Hi again folks, I don't a scripture-based answer to this, but, I will present a context-based answere. First, who was Jesus talking about here? The lawyers! Have you ever talked to a lawyer? Have you ever read a EULA(End Users Liscense Agreement) or any lengthy legal document? There is alot of proffesional language that one has to be educated on…[Read more]

Hi everyone, My own personal definition of wisdom is knowledge applied in such a way that it bring betterment to one's self and or someone(s) other than oneself. Love and Respect, Wispring

Hey Mike, Read my signature.

Hi SimplyForgivin, I think(though I may be completely wrong) what is prompting you to create this thread is a lack of understanding of the semantics and grammer of the ancient languages from which the modern bible text is based. If you decide to educate yourself in those languages you may come to the realization that you have no need to create a…[Read more]

To All but jbl,For the love of God if you are not posting here to comfort jbl and give him good advice and fellowship in Jesus Christs name then you are posting in the wrong thread(i.e. trying to explain reasons for a previous post to another poster or trying to get your “point” across to another poster about a previous post you made.)…[Read more]

Hi Tim, Yeah. Believe it or not it was the the study of quantum physics over a 3 year period while I was in the USN that gave me enough “proof” to believe there was a God. With Love and Respect, Wispring
