Ten basic principles for living a fulfilling life 1) "None are better than another, nor is any one man, or woman looked on with more favor by the divine, we are all equal in the eyes of our creator/s". 2) “Acceptance of others is a primary key in attaining an inner freedom. We are all...

My cousin asked me to make a video slideshow for her son yesterday. He's a young, adorable little man that has been a complete joy to know for his entire two years on this earth. She's digging up pictures, and I'm looking for music to set in the background for the video. Her son is her life...

I lean towards heaven being a place on earth, in the now. More than a state of mind, but rather a realization of the paradise we already have...earth is our Eden in my mind. Eden is a heaven, and with the right seat of soul (heart), I believe we can re-enter this paradise now. Even with all the...

I've been noticing this a lot lately. Mosty with other religious groups, but we are all guilty of judging others, aren't we? Not that I view it as a major sin, but I think it makes a person seem high minded, and that in and of itself is a judgement, lol. :eek: Why do we do it? Wouldn't life...

I'd like to think that having pride in one's self is what God intended. He created us in his image after all, but it would seem that many view pride to be an awful sin. Are there different types of pride? (Some good, some bad) Or is all pride looked down upon by our creator? I have pride in...

Hey CR, I'm just passing through and wanted to share a thought and a question in form of rhyme, lol! :) I can't help it . . . I Love to Write what God puts in my heart. "Is This Like You" To think that you are better because of what you’ve gained or because of what you hold as truth...

I bought her last year for my son. She is a four year old Tennessee Walking Horse...Currently in training, but she already does great on trail rides. Youngins at the age of 8 have even been riding her with great success. I think She's beautiful...

What's your favorite book in the Bible, and why? If you're able, narrow it down to a single chapter. What Book and chapter speaks to you the most? It's hard for me to decide, but John chapter 15 is certainly one of them...I think it's one of the most beautiful chapters in the Bible. (Can't...

What is it that keeps you on your path, and guides you? I suppose Love [God's Spirit] is my compass, and the Bible is the [sometimes confusing] user manual for it, lol! :D Still, I'm always able to refer to the user manual when in doubt. The needle of my compass always points towards God...

I remember having a great fear of God when younger. Well, not God himself, but a fear of hell instead. I feared doing the wrong things, and not pleasing him. I stumbled greatly during those days, and still do at times when I fear not being on the right path, or not believing in the right things...

What is the "fear of the lord" that Soloman spoke of in Proverbs? Proverbs 2 1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge...

What are your views on Jesus' parables? What do they mean to you, and how did you come to accept your views of them? I've read that we can't teach through parables here, but we can discuss our members views of them, correct? I'm very curious as to how others interpret their meaning... We...

I don't know if this is the appropriate folder, but a good friend wrote something I wanted to share with you. When I first read it, I was nearly speechless, as I've felt the same way most of my life. I thought it was beautiful... "Voiceless Praise" For twenty years I have watched...

I've been lurking the boards lately, and have noticed that the concept of duality seems to be frowned upon around here. My question is "why"? To me, the principle of polarity is self evident... Maybe, those who resist this principle can shed some light as to why it is viewed as being a...

I have posted here before, but with a completely different mindset. In my previous visit to this forum, I was concerned with the ethics of salvation, and then to 'why' blood sacrifice was demanded. I've re-read the threads, and I am amazed at how much I have changed since my last visit...

I understand now, that when salvation is concerned, God is only providing for us, what we cannot provide for ourselves. (Through Jesus) My next question is: WHY is it nescessary; you know, a blood sacrifice for atonement? Why did Jesus have to pay the price? Why does God demand it...

I joined a while back, but have just started posting. I'm still looking for my path, but I'm heavily influenced by Christianity. I'm a seeker of light, and truth, and... I love you all, ~Cage~

I'm kinda at a crossroads, and don't know which way to go. On one hand, I desparately want salvation, but on the other, I fear it may be wrong. I know it sounds silly, but let me finish... Ask a child, any child, which is right: To let someone else be punished for what you did, or to...
