I do rabbit.

But you are also operating from a hidden agenda and concealing your deceitfulness again with ill intent designed only to inflame and sarcastically make very insulting and pointed remarks from positions built around jest and not sincerity.

You can never expect to be taken seriously when your disrespectful intentions are at the core of your bashing.

You are creating the very consternation that you would transfer onto others

You lie to conceal your motive.

Your point is well taken.

You are to be taken seriously as nothing more than a nuisance and an offensive insult to anything that suits your fancy to mock.

learn, grow and be at peace.

credibility may come when you have earned trust as a truthful man.

By virtue of your own behavior, none of what you say can ever be trusted.

I wonder if the mods like this coming from you.

Your protestations earlier in the day have certainly escaped being discerned for the venomous threats that they are.



Your own words cited in my most recent post in this thread testify against you, rabbit.

Rabbit shows by example his unique perspective about what is going on.

He makes his point very well. His agenda is not hidden to those who can see.

He has truly shown me the error of my ways.

I shall direct my attention to my own spiritual truth hence forth or until someone treads on me.

You, Wouldee, should thank Rev. Rabbit, for he has removed a thorn from your side where you were only rubbing it into the wound.

I will leave you all to your religions.

Wouldee..it is not our place to point out what rabbit or anyone else, does or doesn't do.

No matter what their agenda or reason for posting .

It just occurred to me today.....
Let people do what they want.

The battle is not ours.. but the Lords.

Let's just lift up Jesus.....
God will do the rest.

Amen, MorningSong.

It is called the Law of Allowance.

Jeannie....

"churchianity" finds people also reading the bible...and sometimes even not.... these churches are under the guidance of man's own interpretation of doctrine ,rather than Holy Spirit led interpretation.
As they gather together in a church building for a church service .
Their main emphasis is on becoming members of that particular church , rather than lifting up Jesus.

And Some people who join the churchianity church, may sit in that church pew for 80 years, and never know jesus at all..cause all they were taught , in order to become a christian is... they just have to join a church and become a member..and that is all that is required to become a christian.

Christianity, on the other hand, ALSO read and study the bible, and they also meet in a church building...but true christians have the Holy Spirit to leading and quiding them, and not man's own interpretation .

Christians lift up JESUS in that church, not churchianity.
And the power of God is found in these real LIVE christian churches..versus the churchianity churches..where only dead religious practices are found.

What's wrong with Jesus that you have to lift him up?

I thought he was resurrected and doing just fine?

I hope it’s nothing serious.

wabbitt whats funny is what you are saying is more truth than fiction. study them out and see who fits..shalom>>Miles

Thats what frustrates me so. They can only see it as a lie. Why would I just sit around lying. There is no purpose to it. I do make jokes and use sarcasm at times. Maybe I need to use more smilies at those times.

However I took that religion seriously when I was in it. I took the the comandment of "not lying" and lost my religion as I followed it to its natural end. I couldn't just bend the words in the Bible to fit my own personal views.
Now so many people here that follow that religion really don't care what the book says. It doesn't even seem important to them to make it make sense. It kind of blows my mind.
I'm getting side tracked but I think you are right.

This is precisely the way I see it too.

It was my desire to be as honest and truthful as possible that forced me to abandon it. I would have to lie to myself, and lie to the "God" to continue to pretend that it actually makes any sense.

Truth and honesty led me to the conclusion that it can't possible be true.

I am sorry if other people found that insulting. It's my truth. I'd have to lie to claim that the Biblical story can be made to make sense. From my point of view it's irreparable inconsistent as a story. Even today, as firm as I know this I'm still driven to try to give it one last chance. But it's utterly hopeless.

It ultimately comes down to a God that has to appease its own self to save its own creation from sin which is nothing more than the breaking of rules that this God himself made,.. etc, etc, etc.

It's utterly absurd to me that having man commit murder of a divine being would earn them the right to be forgive.

It's just totally impossible for me to even begin to justify this story. Such a God would be utterly absurd.

And if anyone is insulted by that I'm sorry. That's my “God's honest truth!”

And yes, I'm allowed to use the word "God" because I'm a pantheist, not an atheist.

For me the pantheistic picture makes perfect sense and is entirely infallible. Only I didn’t turn to the pantheistic picture and learn about it as a religion. I just intuitive understood what “God” means to me, and then later I discovered that “Pantheism” is that generic label used to describe the idea that God is everything.

There is no dogma or doctrines that go with pantheism (though some people do try to sell it as a ‘religion’). I won’t say that I agree with everyone’s use of the word ‘pantheism’. I just use it to mean, All is One, “The entire universe is a manifestation of God”. I have my own philosophy of precisely how it all works. And I see no self-inconsistencies with it at all. None.

I'm also not trying to 'proselytize' pantheism. I don't care whether anyone believes in it or not. And if you want to say that it's silly and absurd, that's fine too. I won't be offended. I just offer the idea as food for thought for anyone who is interested.

Nothing more, nothing less.

To me it is a beautiful idea - so naturally I like to share it with anyone who might be interested.

Similar to what you are trying to prove right now?

Right back atcha. I will hold you to that.

Oops! Sorry abra.

Then
A: Move
or
B: get a gun and start shooting.
Where did I say it doesn't happen because it never happened to me? Conjecture? Drawing conclusions that don't exist? My point is that when someone states that Christians are always in their face with fire and brimstone is itself absurd. Yes there are some backwoods inbred barefoot and pregnant KKK bumper sticker gun rack in the old Ford truck areas of this county but if someone lives there do not assume the rest of the country is just as backwards.

oh Abracadabra....


You are so funny!!!


say what you will ,

but in my humble yet observant opinion

You are absolutely & thoroughly obsessed

with Our Lord Jesus Christ

I pray that the peace that passes

all understanding

dwells in your Heart today and everyday.....

I mean no offense, but according to mythology wasn't Zeus a serial rapist?

Just like the alien dracos, and the fallen angels who took human women for wives.

Zeus was probably one of them.

E vanga who?

beautifully and rightly said. I would wish all could understand

If that were only true.

True Christianity is a religion. To deny that is really ridiculous.

Just because you are ashamed of the bloody history of the Church, and the hypocrisy of "Churchianity" the abuse of power by organize religion, you try to divorce yourself from all of that negative stuff and start a new religion.

But it is STILL A RELIGION.

It still requires you to believe in the Bible, and the story of the crucified savior with no real evidence or proof that any of that ever happened.

You cannot deny your church and take Christ and the Bible out of it and ignore the question we are asking you to answer. That is the flakiest cop out I have ever seen.
