Makes sense, or at least in that when I Love others I tend to view my own problems in a much lesser degree. Everything seems so much brighter when we are at peace with self and with one another.

Good question, but I'm not sure? Sometimes when I write it comes out God, and other times G-d. I haven't a clue as to why; it just happens that way. James

I'm not sure. :) I did try, but it didn't work. Perhaps I was angry with God or who I viewed him to be at the time, and "wanted" to deny him altogether. He wouldn't allow that, and for that I am thankful. I think we come to our realizations in our own time, and that we are influenced by many...

That is one I need to remember. I often times let my emotions get the best of me, and instead of seaking peace, I end up seaking contention./shrug

I tried to be an Atheist once, but I found that I could not NOT believe in God. (Even for a second) I imagine Atheist are the same way, they simply cannot believe. Perhaps thier minds are hard wired differently? Not that I think it matters either way. In my minds eye, I see a bridge connecting...

That is exactly how I started my journey, cavalier. Then fear turned into a desire to please God, and then that desire turned into experiencing him on a spiritual level that in turn helped me achieve a measure of freedom, and peace within. James

Interesting thoughts on heaven, Nick. In your belief, do those who die, immediately go to whichever level they are destined? In my belief, and it is not shared by many Christians, is that when we die we are simply re-born into the world we leave behind, and experience the same until peace on...

To me heaven is life on earth, where we have been spiritually filled, and free from inner torment. Internal peace, and everlsating freedom. James

Awsome, I'm a liberal minded Christian that (sometimes) attends service on Sun, bible study on Wed, and one who tries to live life as if "life" were G-d's only "true" church, lol. It's not always easy. Not always hard, either. My fellowship is with those that attend our service, and with the...

What religion do you practice if you don't mind me asking?

I never read the etire story, Nick...thanks for sharing. My Aunt gave this to me the other day, and it it warmed me over. Great story! James 17Angel.. . ..Pray tell, What's coming? ;) If it is good, then I will wish you the same, if not then I will wish you not bear it, and...

Ooh, an old one! :) I'll give my view of the the Sower Parble, but I'll start with Romans 15:50- Romans “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep...

I hope it's ok to change my user name. :p It was Cage, but I have experienced a great deal of freedom since joining here, and I feel like I'm exactly where I need to be. I feel more free today than I have in years, so it's only appropriate to change it. On a side note, I've learned a great...
