Abigail, this is Mike again.. The very fact that you believe we are born into sin is what is causing all the problems.. Why would God bring us into this world in that manner? WE ARE BORN INTO LOVE!!!!

Mike, the fact that I believe we are born into sin isn't the problem. The fact that WE ARE BORN INTO SIN is. It's what my Bible teaches. Yes, it's what I believe. But what I believe isn't what matters. Let me ask you a question: if we are born into love, why do so many parents deal with toddlers and young children who are defiant, who bite, hit, are aggressive, who lie and manipulate. I have heard numerous times from numerous sources that young children test the limits of their parents boundaries. If those children were born into love, why would they do that? Why would they want to see how much they could get away with before they were punished?

ahhh, because they're kids?? I believe this is the biggest lie we've ever been served. We are born into sin.. What? Nothing like a little guilt to start your life off. You really think God would do this? Kids also do very many loving things without even knowing it. I'm sure you see what I'm saying.

I hope you also understand that the churches want you to believe we are born into sin. What a better way to keep you attending. That's like a doctor telling you that you are born with cancer. It's up to us to realize the illusion and see that God is within us as our souls and we don't NEED TO BE SAVED.. we are already saved.

It's also very strange to me that Christians usually forget about Jesus. Strange huh? What did Jesus teach us? Apparently nothing according to all this hate, separation, and confusion. He died for our sins. Does that not tell the story?

Jesus did not die for our sins. He came here to show us and tell us the Truth of Who We Are. God is All there Is. There is only One of us here. We are all connected.
Beware of the bible. The interpretation of those of whom you speak were disciples of Jesus' disciples. The writers of the New Testament never met the man. Jesus, along with every Master, has said "ye too are Gods". You are made in God's likeness. What can it be but arrogance, to deny the Truth of Who You Are and Who you are meant to Be.

You do not see the perfection but it exists. Have faith and all will be made known to you. Peace.

That's a very baseless argument. Did you consider Matthew? What about John? I know the truth of who I am, and it is not arrogance. I am an awful and retched sinner in desperate need of my saviour Jesus Christ, who certainly died for my sins, that I may appear before my Holy and Perfect Father in Heaven. "ye too are Gods" is absolutely NOT in the bible, nor is any statement that would be comparable. Genesis 3:5 is the closest verse and it does not intendo say we are Gods. Read Ezekiel 28 and see the the result of your words!
I urge to to find salvation in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He yearns to guide you through this life. He paid the highest price and took your place in death! His yoke is easy and His burden is light! We are all meant to meet Jesus.

Thanks. From website of the School of the New Spirituality: "The Dalai Lama, is quoted in Violence and Compassion: Conversations with the Dalai Lama, by Jean-Claude Carriere. His Eminence states, "I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality. This new concept ought to be elaborated alongside the religions in such a way that all people of good will could adhere to it. We need a new concept, a lay spirituality. We ought to promote this concept with the help of scientists. It could lead us to set up what we are all looking for -- a secular morality." Hmmm...

 

A "new spirituality"? But it really isn’t. The Dalai Lama does not follow Christ and accept his teachings. This is not a Christian group. They are no-profit and are making their own religion, mixing "truth" with fake.

 

I wrote to them saying, "The philosophy your organization is using is not new. Satan has been using parts of "truth" and mixing it with his own ideas to make it sound like "truth." Through this vehicle people are being lied to (misled) around the world and it is through a non-profit organization (being misused). This is corrupting, not healing. If you want to heal the world, it can only be done through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. The God in truth says: Eph. 3:9-19 - 9 I was chosen to explain to everyone[c] this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning. 10 God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 Because of Christ and our faith in him,[d] we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. 13 So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored. 14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,[e] 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.[f] 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." / I will be praying for you and your organization to live and speak in truth.

All the rantings about Christianity and the validity of the Bible as we know it only confirms what Conversations With God exposes about religion. What is God's religion I ask?

 

Explain to me when humans are born with hermaphrodite features, what are they?

 

Male? Female? Lesbian? Gay? Freaks?

 

Christianity seems to know all the answers yet it has caused more violence, mass human annihilation, prejudice and human segregation than I have time to lists. I was born and raised a Christian but realized how much destruction is done to ensure its survival and proliferation. We are thought God is a thing or being to be worshiped and feared all at the same time. Its sad that we are so afraid at alternative perspectives. I weren't be surprised if there are some Christians out there who still thinks the earth is flat. Sorry for the sarcasm but Christianity has failed to unify, bring peace or any of the things it sells. Being spiritual has nothing to do with religion or God in its true sense. So those who swear that they were saved by Christianity or the beliefs of the bible think again. You to have been brain washed to exists as religious zombies following a path fabricated if not tainted to control all those foolish enough to follow. How much was actually conveniently left out or edited from the original compilation of the bible. So many of us so blindly believe with out investigating or researching the validity of what we are following. I believe in a supreme being a God if you must, but not the one falsely portrayed by the bible. I do not doubt much of it was divinely inspired but how do we know which parts were altered, edited or simply left out conveniently by the behind the scenes rulers of those times. Why do Christians assume they are the ultimate voice on God and religion. All that exists, Christian and non Christian was created by God also. Stop pushing your faith as supremacist do their beliefs. Same concept, different avenue. But the truth is always harder to digest so the easiest route of conformity is usually chosen by most. Wake up and speak to God directly stop worshiping a middle man. This is no different than idol worship. Yet we condemn such things being Christians and all. I thing just saying that we are "Christians" makes us feel superior in some way. But as we all know, we generally need to make others feel less so we can feel more. Why can't we just respect each others beliefs rather than assume ours to be the correct one. We will only truly know at the end. So why condemn or rule out any or all possibilities ? To each his own. Stop selling sublime dictatorship.

These are Jesus Words:Jesus answered and Said To Him,Most assuredly,I say to you unless one is Born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

                                                                                             John 3:3

Jesus said to Him,I am the way,the truth,and the life,No one comes to the Father except through Me

                              John 14:6

Listen to this these are The words of Jesus..,Talking About The Holy Spirit and What The Holy Spirit Would Do

"And when He has come ,He will Convict The World of sin,and of righteousness,and of  Judgment:

of sin,because they do not believed in Me:

of righteousness,because I go to My Father and you see Me no more:

of judgment,because the ruler of this World is judged

                                                                               John 16;8-11

And this is eternal life,that they may know You,the only true God,and Jesus Chrust whom You have Sent.

                                  John 17:3

 

The only way of knowing God is through Jesus Christ and What He Did On the Cross,

Whether you believe that or not its Still the Word of God..,

How about this; that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness,and with the mouth confession is  made unto salvation

                               Romans 10:9-10

The real problem with the entire bible is that it is a political document. It is not that there is not some truth in there, but the history of its creation must be understood before claiming it as law. To put simply, the books were selected by those in power and the translation was not correctly done from its original language. CWG points this out, but do the research yourself. It is not hard to find the historical truth about the bible. I was raised a hard-nosed christian, so don't think that I don't have the background or education; but I do have an open mind and seek God. CWG is where I found God.

As a side not, you might want to read some works by Albert Einstein who actually had some things right; go figure, a scientist who made some good points about God and the universe.

Why is it that all of our world's great leaders who have held steadfast to the WORD OF GOD led our world in a series of wars and strife. George Bush stood on the Word of God and yet he could not envision or fathom another way to deal with conflict. This is not a putdown but a reflection of our status on how we as religious people seem to be wired when in leadership.  It is time we begin to seek to know God like never before and begin one mission for each of us to become one in God. I am not well with all that Neale Walsh may prescribe, we still have to use our own spiritual wisdom when dealing with our own lives and children.  Yet, this book offers new insight in God like never before presented to Christian community.  I do not reject the Word of God via Scripture but I seek deeply the Word of God via living. I know I need and I believe we all need spirituality as quest. Shalom to all.
