    Universe 2 calling Universe 1

    :confused: What belief system is this even in? Universe 2? And isn't ultraviolet light always coming down from the sun 24/7? If you would, elaborate or provide a link so as I might satisfy my curiosity.

    Calling all veggies

    The thing you have to worry about with fish is mercury. There's also ovo- and lacto-vegetarians, and those people who call themselves vegetarians and eat eggs, fish, and dairy products.

    The Holy Spirit

    Well, that makes sense doesn't it, being that the Holy Spirit is God as well.

    Have you tried that? Does it really work? I might have to build a house out of chalk...

    The Holy Spirit

    I don't think mee ever said it wasn't a personality, at least that's not the feeling I got. What I got is the the Holy Spirit is God, but in His active aspect. So God says "let there be light" and the Holy Spirit flips the lightswitch, God says "separate the waters (or whatever He actually...

    Crucifix row

    The way I see it, no one is forcing this woman to work for them, so if she doesn't follow dress code she shouldbe fired. If she really wants people to know she's a Christian, she can wear something too large to cover, like a very large cross or a sign that says "I am a Christian." As far as I...

    Crucifix row

    I don't see a problem with it really. If it was only geared toward one particular faith, then maybe, but it seems like it is a company policy and you just deal with it if you want to work there. I don't understand why it is necessary for someone to declare their religion through the use of...

    The Holy Spirit

    Yes, I don't think anyone is disputing that.

    The Holy Spirit

    Technically, no, but in an absolute sense, yes. Hey, what is so wrong with the Holy Spirit being an active force? I personally think it is presented as such. Would you rather have it a passive force, or is it the force that offends?

    Warning

    So, if there is a being that is Hate, it must love things? I was under the impression that God loved everything and everyone at all times... Is this what the sermon was about? Because you were right to give a warning, it scares the bejeezus out of me.

    The Holy Spirit

    The answer to those questions depends on your own outlook. On one hand the Holy Spirit has always existed in potentia as a part (and the whole) of God, and is thus eternal. However, technically in its role as an active force, it can be said that it began existing relatively when God wished to...

    The Holy Spirit

    He said it could be likened to electricity, not that it is electricity. It's like a simile or metaphorical explanation of something that cannot be explained in absolute terms. Anyway, to answer the question, and keeping in mind that I am on the Christian board: The Holy Spirit has existed for...

    The Messiah and the Spirit

    I think that is what he means. Of course, it depends on who you mean by Yahweh. Are you saying that David, like the kid who killed Goliath, is Acharit? Hey, why does everyone have a problem with Paul? It seems someone is always complaining about him over on this side of the board.

    Heaven, Hell and the Devil.

    I would say that in places where people are poorer they are more spiritual in a sense that they appreciate more and they look to something other than themselves to sustain them. I have witnessed this in a few countries I've been to, where even though people live in abject poverty they are...

    Some Qabalists, I don't really know how many exactly. The point is, that he has been regarded as God by someone at some point, whether he was or not doesn't matter.

    Heaven, Hell and the Devil.

    Exactly. The Noble Lie. I agree with you as well, wil. If one approaches religion from a psychological point of view, it all makes sense...usually.

    how faith might work - jesus, krishna and others

    Mantras are used for calming your mind in meditation, not indoctrination. You can say whatever you want, but obviously it is more appropriate to meditate on Jesus in Christianity and Krishna or Brahman in Hinduism. After a while, your subconscious associates this mantra with the state of...

    Calling all veggies

    OK, so just don't intentionally take a life? Are cockroaches sentient, because I have a debilitating phobia of them, and even though I don't technically kill them, someone usually kills them for me. Does that count as direct or indirect killing?

    it might be too late for me

    I think what matters is what you do with the gifts. I don't think there is any surefire way to tell the difference between God given charisms and stuff from the Devil.

    Yes he was, which is why I brought it up. Some people did (or still do) consider him as an appearance of God, just not in Christianity. To clarify, I am just pointing out that he was considered a manifestation of God by some people, not that I believe this, or that it is true, so I don't need...
