God's not Omniscient.

I would also point out the specific phrasing of The Great Invocation, this ancient (Atlantean) Prayer being given to Humanity WORD FOR WORD, according to D.K. - by the Christ Himself - as an updated PaterNoster, or `Lord's Prayer.' www.thegreatinvocation.org.uk Of course, from the exoteric...

Examining the history of the Christian religion, so influential in the West for the past 1.5 thousand years, with the wars and strife spawned in the name of a loving God ... plus torture tactics enacted by both Roman Catholic and Protestant Christianity alike, is enough to show that in many...

In an earlier post, Ecumenist said: At times I think it's outrageous that my own LITTLE ego continues to get in the way - whether posting at Interfaith.org, discussing things between friends, or just going about my daily routine & interactions with folks (even vicariously, or indirectly). Yes...

Nick, Thanks for the welcome. Haven't decided on an image ... but it may as well be the old (not Pallas Athene but the wheel of symbols for major world religions). You and I, along with most folks here, recognize that verily there is `One Truth, [with] Many Paths.' That's why I chose...

Ahh. Much better. Perhaps it's just a wise idea if one wants to see a post go through these days ... to reach the 10 post minimum in order to gain access to certain of the forum's features. That's one way to see it. Of course, it doesn't ACCOUNT for what happened to those 2, now 3, posts that I...

I don't know, Nick. Right now I'm a little perturbed that - one week later - a post that I made to THIS thread, along with one other, has not showed up. Both went to `a moderator' in order to meet with approval before appearing, just as did the one I spent the last half hour typing. Let's see...

No less I am an elder and was once taught and tasked to look after every child. It just seems I will occasionally toss out the window, with mercy, tender and ~. God willing the Mother takes care of that. And she will, one way or ... But keep jabbering about the lack of the christ within [some...

Yes, quite, I am as bothered by the childishness as anyone, so although I am right in all that I *know* ... your observation is correct: While I notice much, I cannot correct (where or what, or as) with what I do not ___. Good show then, Bhaktajan, for all I might know arhan; But don't forget...

Perhaps it's what's got some of us puzzled, Thomas: Why's he being mean to you like that? Besides, however, Buddhism isn't about creating another useless dump of human wealth - you know, gold candlesticks and all, nice pretty robes for all the poofed-up poobahs. Rather, the idea is simplicity...

Actually, Thomas, most of us understand exactly what wil means ... and agree with him WholeHeartedly, because we connect, we relate and we do with more than the dried-up brains of an old fop tilting at windmills. But by all means, when one feels like maintaining that dry, shriveled-up mass ...

Now, now. Let's all remember that the Reverend Billy Graham took Mormons OFF the list of strange, dangerous and offensive non-Christian cults ... all in an effort to keep a black man out of the office of U.S. President. And after all, what more proof do you NEED that Mormons are true Christians...

There are Theosophists who are quite misled, and there are those who remain steadfast to the original CAUSE and Purpose, every bit as well as the true Founders intended it! The same could be said of Xianity, yes, but in the case of Theosophy there is no claim by HPB or any who knew to of her...

Because the esoteric view includes a hylozoistic frame of reference, the question Thomas asks ("judged by whom?") is a difficult one to answer. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylozoism) For example, esoteric students regard the very planet upon which we live (and move, and have our being) to be the...

Here's an old psychedelic take on the subject, penned by the guys in Traffic, called `Heaven is in Your Mind' ... (fwiw, one of the samadhi/satori experiences I had in college involved ~ an apple!) (Winwood/Capaldi/Wood) You ride on the swing in and out of the bars Capturing moments of life...
