Thanks wispring So when you read the Bible, you had no other literature as well? (just the Bible)?I mixed my reading with other books, which wasn't good. And then I read all the Early Church Fathers.

Just like when your in a deep sleep, then wake up.

Hi Wispring, I meant being on forums can't be good!Sheppard of Hermas….I learnt things I never hear of today, and it's interesting that it was such a popular book way back then with the Earliest Church.In Hermas, Heres a quote explaning it;Jesus of Nazareth,The best and wisest of the human race, selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon…[Read more]

Hi Wispring. I told (someone) that I wouldn't be posting (or reading) for a while, that I needed a break.So what am I doing here?Anyway….I read scripture years ago, for a couple of years, I couldn't put it down. But eventually I did. And I have spent the past year or two only reading on forums.I can't be good, can it?

Quote (Wispring @ April 04 2011,06:27)Hi Irene,   I believe that “The Word” mentioned in John 1:1-14 is the Christed mind. The Christed mind first came in the flesh in Jesus Something. Don't know what Mary and Joseph's last name is. This why he is called Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus. He was anointed with the “The Word”. He is the anointed one of…[Read more]

Wrong place sorry.

I agree. And God is a Spirit. And God is love. And we were made in Gods image. And Jesus was in Gods image. Lot's of thing's to think about here. And it makes me wonder WHAT people are talking about when they say God punishes people forever in hot fiery torment? There is NO FEAR in Gods love. For perfect love casts away all fear. And if you do not…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ April 04 2011,05:57)so we need to examine what DRIVES compassion. Compassion is another word for Mercy driven by a feeling of sorrow for another.I believe that is the Holy Spirit.You no longer think of the self but of others. Which is one of the greatest commandments.Quote GOD IS LOVE.God is.

Quote (Wispring @ April 04 2011,05:29)I would say the opposite of hate is compassionI agree with that.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ April 04 2011,05:01)To All………….The Key in my view is to understand what LOVE  Does or causes  a good help is to understand what hate  the opposite does or causes .I believe the darkness spoken of in scripture is hate and the light is love. And the hate (darkness) has never overcome the love (light).   Quote GOD so…[Read more]

Thats alright Gene, you can call me that.What id like to know any and all is this;Is what you see there in the book Sheppard of Hermas….is that more on the side of pre-existance believers or non pre-existance believers?Becaus that was one of the favourite book's of the early Church, so whatever it say's must have been how they saw it too.

Quote What is love in its simplest formLove in its simplest form I think would be when you love someone so much you would die for them if you had to.
