Fair enough. Do have a look at the Nag Hammadi library, though, even if it's only to make up your own mind.Denis

Amen!

According to the scriptures found in Nag Hammadi, Each spirit has a male and a female self. In the begining, reality noticed itself in itself, and thus gave birth to itself. This is what is meant by 'Son of God'. Christ is not just the mind of God, it is all God, (God is a mind), it is God as experienced by God (that is how he brought Christ…[Read more]

Also, it is not my belief that there is no such thing as absolute truth, only that we cannot know it until we experience it, and it is unrelatable unless it be through parables, which is how Jesus chose to talk of his own experience.The words of humans cannot encompass God.The scriptures give us a good idea of what God is, but we have to…[Read more]

Dear Nick,Thank you for your post, I'm gald you asked these questions.Once again, the views of Richard Anton Wilson are not my views. I also believe that Christ is the Truth and that that truth has been partly revealed to us through the ages. I merely relate his thoughts to introduce the idea of e-prime according to which Jesus neither 'is' nor…[Read more]

Paul. A solution to the situation you described can be found in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) which tells us that it is impossible to make a negative objective. (Whether that objective is evil or good, by the way!) What you think of, is what will happen, even if you're thinking of it NOT happening. If you don't think of something at all it…[Read more]

Hi Nick,From what I understood from Aldous Huxley's 'The Perennial Philosopy', the word 'Godhead' is used to designate the Physical manifestation of the whole God, on Earth, as a human being. Organised Christianity claims that there has only been one Avatar, and as a result the organised Church's history is stained with more blood than one might…[Read more]

Thank you so much, Nick, all this advice is priceless. Maybe I just need to be patient now, then. Let him think about everything I've already pointed out to him while we're still on good terms. Let the seed grow and that.Cheers.

Great!Well there's definitely some food for thought there. Thanks for your prayers, by the way, Cube. The terrible thing is that my father in law is very well acquainted with the bible, but he is also very well acquainted with the dubious 'interpretations' given by the Roman Catholic doctrine. I think ultimately what I need is a long time. After…[Read more]

Thank you so much, Nick, for your answer.I think this idea of leaving a trail of bibles (and mabe some of the scriptures that didn't make it past Constantine's censorship) is very sound advice. Very sound also is the suggestion to fix one's own oxygen mask first. To reassure you, I was saved and baptised about six years ago now, and every day that…[Read more]
