    The Transfiguration

    Also Dondi, Note in Chapter 21 the gates of the city shall not be shut at all by day and there is no night there. and in Chapter 22 Rev. 22:14-15 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (They...

    The Bible—A Book From God

    Mee, If you still think the Bible is in complete harmony, here is two stories of the same event supposely written by the same author Samuel?. Where is the harmony? Is it different people writing of the same event or what? Harmony Love and Peace, JM

    The Transfiguration

    Dondi, It is my experience here that when one is in the spirit, there is no sorrow, tears, or death.... Just joy and peace beyond description. Perhaps there is a bit of confusion between living in the spirit and living in the flesh. One can go back and forth just as Peter did when one moment he...

    Mother Theresa's Crisis of Faith

    The letters were from the 50's and 60's and perhaps what we are reading here is before her announcement of her unquestioned faith in a 1986 interview. Even Jesus is recorded as having struggles during his last days so it could be possible, however, perhaps the news media is playing on words that...

    The Transfiguration

    Actually the word translated for 1000 is chilioi, a plural of uncertain affinity and was translated as one thousand but could be thousands, the period is uncertain. Secondly, people have been ruling and reining with Christ for some 2000 years already. That it is in physical Jerusalem is a...

    The Transfiguration

    Greetings Dondi, Thank you. What makes it rather difficult to understand in my view is that what is taught in theology college (4 years here) would agree with your assessment. The problem is basic to understanding the mystery of God which many are taught is of this world. One looks for God and...

    Ego

    It seems to me that ego is who we think we are and is provided us by conditioning from society and others. It is basically a reflected awareness that is false. JM

    The Transfiguration

    Hi Dondi, Actually I was not trying to espouse reincarnation. Only pointing out that writings plainly say that Elias had come already as John the Baptist. Further more he did restore all things. If you look up the Greek iwhere Jesus says Elias shall restore all things, the word 'pas' for all...

    Michael Vick found Jesus!

    Apologizing is nice. Why should that make us feel a certain way. Did he do something to us that I should know about? Shall we allow hearsay to move us? Can't say. Insufficient data. :D Couldn't resist wil :D JM

    Are We Really Living in “the Last Days”?

    I guess not. Perhaps he thought he was talking to people rather than God. :D

    Are We Really Living in “the Last Days”?

    If a prophet spoke today, here is what I would guess him to say... The last days was Near 2000 years ago! Why do you look past Now. Behold Now, you are a new creature in Christ Jesus. Now, Old things have past away. All things have become new (including heaven and earth). Now, Ye are dead and...

    The Transfiguration

    Hi Dondi, That is not at all what I read in the KJV of the Bible. It seems Jesus said John was Elias (Elijah) which was to come. Matthew 17:10-13 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? [11] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias...

    Heaven and Nirvana/ Comparative Religion

    Yes it can but not all will agree. It would seem to me to be very effective in helping to eliminate the 'we' and 'them', 'believers' and 'non believers' syndrome that seeks to divide rather than unite people. Perhaps for some. Others may be to a point where it serves no practical purpose...

    This is indeed a very profound statement. Love and Peace, JM

    Ultimate texts

    To me it seems there is no ultimate text. All attempt to point to that which text cannot contain. Utimately there is self inquiry and that alone takes one to source. Everything else becomes meaningless. Just a view to consider. Love and Peace, JM

    Salvation, a Free Gift?

    Greetings All, It seems to me that the word "free" has no conditions or restraints. Free: Not subject to a given condition; exempt: Not subject to external restraint: Therefor, if an offerring or believing is a requirement, condition or restraint to salvation then it is not by definition...

    You know what they say snoop. "Before, chop wood carry water, after, chop wood carry water" :D Seriously Snoopy, keep doing 'nothing'. :) Only difference now is you know that you are doing 'nothing' :D Snoopy... "What is This?" Love and Peace, JM

    Coming full circle

    Perhaps that is because 'being' in itself is complete and there is nothing that needs to be learned. 'Being' what one is requires no question nor answer. A duck is a duck by virtue of being and thus experiencing he has no need to know he is a duck nor what ducks do. :) :D Regards, JM
