Thank you for answering my question, Silas. You must have put a great deal of thought into your post. I need to look over it in depth before I can give a proper response, so this post will be breif. What matters more, today or tomorrow? Tomorrow will take care of itself; today we have a...

What makes you think people are in a "literal" place called hell? The wages of sin is death, and we are dead in our skin until we have been born again. I liken hell to be that place of torment that existed in my inner man before Christ came and conqured it. I'm not certain anyone who has...

Please explain, Karen. I'm not sure that I follow your thoughts here. I won't argue about everyone not experiencing unconditional love by man, but I truly believe that God's Love is available to all, and is witnessed in his creation. No need to debate this view, as I cannot possibly speak for...

When you are ready you will see, Silas. If not, you will miss the greatest gift of all. I know you want to defend your doctrine, as you feel threatend, or perhaps fearful that you might be wrong. Then again, perhaps you feel that you know the truth in its entirety through your intellect? The...

The first is figurative in that we must go through him inasmuch as we go through the spirit of him. "Love" The second the same, those who keep the ways of the natural man will lose their life that is in Christ, or not find it. Those who lose the old man will find the new in his spirit...

It's not against what Christ teaches, or what the Bible teaches if you look with an open heart and eyes, but yes church history has made the way hidden in doctrine and dogma, and ideology and even a perversion of Christ our savior himself. Do you think that Christ would have done what he...

That's NOT what Jesus said, Silas. John 13:34-35 34. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. We have differing...

It sure is, Silas; maybe not your brand, but this is what makes a true Christian. I may not condone certain religious mindsets, but I'll not condemn others for them; that is not my place. Lets produce good fruit, and put away the evil ways of man, cool? Help what? Me or you? We can debate...

I'm walking into it willingly, lol :D

I am Christian because I follow, and believe in Christ, silas. I follow and believe in his ways, and that's where the light is, my friend.. ..not in an intellectual understanding of his given name. We are saved "Through" him, he is love in the flesh, and now in spirit that all can embrace. It's...

There was a program on two nights ago about this man who claims to be Jesus, so I can see your point. The reality is if you can't imagine creating something as awe inspiring as God's creation, (The entire universe) and controling every little aspect about it with the same laws put in palce, then...

Hi Karen, I understand that there are those in this world who have not experienced the love of mother or father, the way it should be, unconditional, comforting, protecting, etc. If you look at creation, tho you will see God's love in it. It's not always easy, but it is there if you look. All...

God's is ever present, unchanging and available to all. The truth of it is that we experience him in as much as we allow his "Spirit" to manifest within. Some people haven't the heart to hear, or the eyes to see that God's spirit is what saves. Christs message, his word, which is his...

You explained it much better than I did, Luna. I came across this scripture just tonight and had a hard time with it at first. You have made it even more clear now then before, so thank you. I'm not sure what you mean about becoming what we worship, tho. I worship God as life and Love; the...

This is just my view, patti, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm of the mind that all have experinced pure love in one form or another. Not romantic love, or sexual, or anything of that nature, but that which is pure, and unconditional. We are w/o excuse according to this scripture. Romans...

To me, the wrath of God is him giving man up to his own lusts and impuruties; "a life w/o love". Love is his invisible nature, his eternal power and deity. His wrath is him allowing us to live life w/o him. See: Romans 1:16-32 The fear of the Lord is to simply fear life w/o his Love, or Spirit...

There is another type who see Love in all of Christs teachings. Btw, the Bible is a very influcial book, Silas. Why would you be offended by those who choose to quote scripture regardless of thier beliefs? much love, James

It's just Joey Ramone. I looked it up on you tube, lol. Great version, too. Smile, smile, smile!! :) :) :) I think I still like Lous Armstrongs version better, but that could be because I think he's awsome, haha. Here's some more by him: "Hello Brother" A man wants to work...for his...

Christ was the way maker, he built/is a bridge that all men can travel. Intellectual knowledge of doctrine will pass away in time, but Christ's "Spirit", which is love will always remain. All will declare him Lord, as he is not willing for any to perish. "Love" IS Christ by my estimation. Sure...

I think all religion will come to an end and we will be left with a pure unadulterated faith in God. Mathew 15:14 makes sense in that if you're following a false religion, you are not experiencing Christ the way we were meant. The ditch does not represent the everlasting pit of hell, but rather...
