    Genesis 3:24

    Awsome! That was an inspiring and very hopeful post...thank you! So does this mean that while we are here on earth that we cannot enter this realm, or does it just mean that I need more work, or more faith, or more understanding? My past haunts my dreams, and I do sometimes struggle with some of...

    Genesis 3:24

    Now that is a disturbing thought... I'm not sure how to respond as I think differently than you on this issue. I don't think it is possible to even get close to Eden w/o first being prepared in heart, and even then I don't think we have a permanent residence as we will always have our inner...

    Genesis 3:24

    Would you say that the majority of the people and the majority of thier time on earth, are spent in a virtual hell, then? I think only true surrender to G-d will allow one to rid themselves of these sinful spirits. The wages of sin is death, but we are not always able to control our seat of soul...

    Genesis 3:24

    Are you suggesting that the flaming sword could be what actually rids us of these spiritual "sins", then? That is my current view, but I would hate to think that only those who have given up these 'spirits' are granted eternal life. I think all who are in the prcess of becoming will enter...both...

    Good song choices?

    Thanks, InLove and Prober! :) I've been doing some digging, and found that lullaby song, but coulldn't find the one by John Denver. I'm not sure classical is what my cousin has in mind, but I'll ask. I think she wants something more personal, and something that means something to her, and...

    Good song choices?

    those lyrics are wonderful, InLove. I'm gonna try to find that song online somewhere. I'll check out Johnn Lennon's Beautiful boy, too. I Love John Lennon, lol. I've never heard of trout fishing in america, but I'll look it up too. Thank you so much, James

    Good song choices?

    My cousin asked me to make a video slideshow for her son yesterday. He's a young, adorable little man that has been a complete joy to know for his entire two years on this earth. She's digging up pictures, and I'm looking for music to set in the background for the video. Her son is her life...

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    I think I'm gaining a better understanding of pride and why it is bad/harmful. I was thinking a few minutes ago about how I felt good about self accomplishments, or at least what I viewed to be "Self" accomplishments, but then when someone would disagree with me, it hurt, and that was a product...

    Andrew, thank you for you post. There are some deep thoughts in there, but I must admit they are not so easily realized by me. I'll have to print out your post (If you don't mind) and perhaps use it for further reference. Maybe when I feel more open to recieve? Your metaphors are like parables...

    Finish the sentence: "I love it when...."

    I love it when my son comes to me for answers, even when I don't know them. It gives us an opportunity to talk, and an opportunity to try to find them together. He turned 10 last week. :)

    It's hard to be objective when everything we recieve is subjective. Lord knows I try, but it certainly isn't an easy thing to do...most of the time. There are times when I do view myself and others with an open, understanding mind, then there are times that I am so focused on self, that I become...

    Genesis 3:24

    Awsome post, Dondi! Christ paved the way, and provided the means by which we "can". If Christ was/is one with G-d, then his sacrifice made availible to us what has been denied us in past times. (Free passage after dying to self, and becoming reborn in Christ Spiritualy.) That's my...

    Is this the one, Wil? The story begins when an old man of the frontier loses his horse (that's what the proverb recalls). The horse fled into a dangerous area, so it was impossible to bring it back. However, thought to himself: "Who says this may not be a blessing one day?" Several...

    Genesis 3:24

    I read your post last night, and wasn't sure how to respond, so I thought it over a bit. I'm not sure what the cheribums represent, but the sword represents that which kills us spiritually to me...anger, jealousy, bitterness, envy, lust, etc. all those negatives that keep us from feeling peace...

    That's pretty profound, Snoopy. Have you ever met anyaone who holds no view. To me that almost seems like an impossibility; My ego is quite resiliant as well; I have a very strong sense of self, my id is an overbearing beast sometimes, and I think that fact is more of a burden than anything...

    Genesis 3:24

    Joshua, thanks for your input. I've felt like earth was Eden for years, but I could never get past the flaming sword bit, or the part about us being cast out. I was reading Genesis, and I had my thought, lol. Sometimes they stick, and sometimes they don't, but this concept makes almost perfect...

    Genesis 3:24

    Your thinking is right along the lines of my own, pfw. Particularly the part about the sword being inner obstacles and self struggle being what casts us out. I don't think we ever left Eden physically, I believe it was metaphorical in that we lost our innocence by allowing sin to enter our...

    Genesis 3:24

    I lean towards heaven being a place on earth, in the now. More than a state of mind, but rather a realization of the paradise we already have...earth is our Eden in my mind. Eden is a heaven, and with the right seat of soul (heart), I believe we can re-enter this paradise now. Even with all the...

    Just for the record, I wasn't pointing fingers at anyone. This is just a question that has been on my mind for a few days. The truth is that I feel the microscope invading me, and it hurts. Still, I know I do the same thing at times, and wanted to discuss the issue for the sake of all...
