[wil] I get inspiration from others, as well as from written text, but I think in order to be guided we must go to the source. Whatever that means for each individual. Some through meditation, some through nature, some through Love, some through rigid doctrine, and others through the Bible...

What is it that keeps you on your path, and guides you? I suppose Love [God's Spirit] is my compass, and the Bible is the [sometimes confusing] user manual for it, lol! :D Still, I'm always able to refer to the user manual when in doubt. The needle of my compass always points towards God...

[Dor] I'm not offended by questions at all. I actually like them because they make me think about what I truly believe. I want to refer to John 15 for this one, though. 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his...

Darkness, perhaps? Inner torment? Lack of peace, Love, etc... Everything we all experience at some point in our lives. I guess teaching forgiveness, and a better way would help some, while it would infuriate others./shrug I wish things were more simple, but how beneficial would that be? I...

[seattlegal] what is God's mercy, then? There are so many differing views, and that his mercy is for only a few. I'd like to disagree and suggest that it is for all. I sometimes wonder if hell is a real place, ya know? I have trouble believing that God would allow an eternal torment for those...

Wow! A lot of people have posted on this. o.k, this is what I've got so far... Some are saying not to fear, [Thomas]--> Thanks for the link, btw. :) [Joseph] but others say that fear as in respect for God can be good. [Quahom] [Silas] Like, fear of disappointing him as opposed to fear of...

Thank you InLove, Your words are a comfort to me, also. I just want to do what is right. I do wrong sometimes, but I'm not a Saint, or angel. I am human, with faults, fears, and much confusion at times. Love,

Thank you, Dor...that was a gentle post and appreciated by me. I understand that the Bible points towards Jesus from Gensesis to The Revelation. I understand that my salvation rests firmly in his Spirit, Life, death, and ressurection. Only, I cling to his life and Spirit above the rest for some...

I remember having a great fear of God when younger. Well, not God himself, but a fear of hell instead. I feared doing the wrong things, and not pleasing him. I stumbled greatly during those days, and still do at times when I fear not being on the right path, or not believing in the right things...

There is none good but the Father, so your 'guess' is as good as any. No one truly knows who God will and will not accept. But, Jesus was the word, or logos which is the same "essence" as God, right? I wonder if belief in the flesh man Jesus is nescessary to please him, or is it the essence...

We choose our destiny, we choose our paths, and in the end, we choose virtue or vice, heaven or hell, life or death, satisfation or discontent, the Spiritual or carnal...It's all in the heart of Man. We are programed to recieve, as I view creation as a perfect self justifying mechanism. In...

Amen to that, BF! :)

That's great BlaznFattyz. If we never forgive, we end up harboring hatred, bitterness and anger, and that can't be a good good thing, or what God wants. It's always best to forgive, if only for sake of self, imo. That's what Jesus taught, and displayed on the cross...to forgive. Forgiveness is...

mee, who will set up his kingdom on earth, then? It is obvious we are seperated, but will the goats, those who rebell against the Spirit of Christ, be elliminated, or will they too come into the knowledge and understanding of God's will? I thought I read somewhere that Jesus was not willing for...

We should be more careful what we say, huh? Words have great power, and the Bible says we will be judged my everyone of them. Kinda makes one cautious about what they say to another. I think if we have compassion, and attempt to see the effect our words 'might' have on another, we could...

I understand, man...

I found that statement a bit broad, Joseph...Believers in what? There are so many varying beliefs, what do you think 'true' believing entails, or does one only need to belive the Spirit in which Jesus came? Just asking for clarification... Love,

I think The book of Revelations is, or can be a dangerous book. Too many view it, and embrace a spirit of destruction, imo. I simply choose to NOT read it until I am comfortable enough in the Spirit to bear it, or what many think it to mean. I am not ready for that book, and I may not ever...

I was talking about this book with someone not over a week ago. I've never read it, but he talked highly off it. Isn't the author some kind of Shaman or something? I must czech it out now... Love,

Thanks #9 Joseph, I understand what you're saying here as this is how I lean, but what about The book of Revelations? Take nothing from it? Btw, it's good to be back, and thanks to both you and Dondi for greeting me again... Love,
