Gas sniffing prophets? I shall visit downtown LA more frequently then... ;)

Really quite a senseless act. I doubt it was done with any consideration for aesthetics either.

Salavation is about making people feel worthless, so they will feel a need to accept 'Salavation' in the first place. Cults use it as a recruiting method. It is one of the areas of Christianity that feels so far from the light.

You raise a very important topic there ex astra. It does seem that Christianity around me has become fixated upon candles. Perhaps the curse of Christianity itself is precisely that the Messenger became God, became an object of worship, and so the message was forgotten. What a tragedy.

Because something inexplicable touched me. I cannot explain. We feel things in life and many times we cannot put words to them. I think here the same is applicable.

It most certainly is terribly fixated with Salavation. I am quite sure that Jesus could only be horrified at how he fought against the Pharisees, only see a following around him become entirely the same! The whole issue of Salavation is one of fear and threats. How many feel that without...

The comparison is more than a little unfair and I am disppointed that you posted it. Yes it does shows the ridiculous nature of fundamentalism but please do not tar all Christians with the same brush. We're not all bad you know.

Sorry I was in a rush the other day but I thought I would post this up quickly. I have heard of the Jesus Seminar but have not heard much of their actual discussions in situ. Would anyone wish to dicuss the matter?

I suppose it is entirely a matter of faith. For myself this particular episode is deeply troubling as I see not a faith account but of political marketing. Was Jesus born of a virgin? If he was then perhaps Alexander was too.

**Culture Watch** The Mystery of the Resurrected Rabbi Jesus provides the way of faith. by David A. Wade As an evangelical, I challenge any pseudo-gnostic ideas of Jesus. The Jesus Seminar often appears arrogant in its treatment of the foundations of Christian belief. Yet after an...

Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all people. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to all even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid...

It is however an essential principle of the plan for salvation, and something I have not as yet managed to find a comfortable stance.

I would so love to grow my own vegetables and fruit. A villa with orchards in Spain anyone?

I now remember seeing something of those mentions. Thank you for bringing the list. I wonder how many may ever be recovered? The next big Dead Sea Scrolls events perhaps?

I am a Christian in that I do allow the teachings of Jesus to determine my outlook and behaviour. Jesus did not dictate doctrine and in fact railled against it, particularly the Pharisees, who were famously good at inventing doctrine. I think therefore there is a message completely overlooked...

Has anyone here ever tasted squid? I have never dared to try.

I cannot find a page for selecting. ???

I now have two stars under my name. What does that mean? I can only imagine that it is to be regarded as a good and interesting thing but I do not know of this system.

I am afraid that I am anything but a fundamentalist.

I am not sure I wish to be a fairy, though I did the test and received this message Your fairy is called Oak Goblinglitter She is a bringer of riches and wealth She lives in forests of oak and lime trees She is only seen in the light of a shooting star Do those who believe in fairies...
