AdventureBegins,

I realize that there are two descriptions of creation, so your question
doesn't really make any sense to me. We are all living souls and we all
have a spirit
________________________________________________________________

There is but one genesis.

That you read it as two may mean you need to see a spiritual eye doctor.
You are seeing double.

However... As you see it so it is to you. As I see it so it is to me.

Go in peace and be in comfort with you beliefs.

Spider, you still here? I have a serious question for you.
Is there any particular, organized Christian faith that you feel most
clearly and soundly, represents your particular interpretations of the
Bible? Just curious.

Also, I know that many of the larger of the organized Christian faiths,
are separated only by some seemingly insignificant issues.
Is there any one, that you see as the worth offender, when it comes to
Biblical interpretation?

One more, if a person is raised to belive some things from a specific
religious aspect, and it is very different than yours, do you still
think that person will be judged adversly by God?

Redykeulous,

No.

No.

Everyone will have the same Judge, who will apply the laws fairly to
their life. I don't make judgements of who deserves hell or not, so I
won't say.

Thanks Spider.

Thanks Redyculous

But of course Bl8ant - how are you tonight?

Redykeulous,

As a non-denomenational Christian, I believe that man made religions get
in the way of a persons relationship with Jesus. There are vast numbers
of Christian doctrine that are covered by Romans 14. Basically, Romans
14 teaches that each Christian is called a little different. Someone
who doesn't spend much time with God might feel convicted for working on
Sunday, while someone who spends a lot of time with God can work on
Sunday with a clear conscience. There shouldn't be a law dictating when
you should or should not work, what you should or should not eat, what
you should watch, what you should read, what games you should play, etc,
because God writes a personal law onto each person's heart. Each
denomination is based on the laws that God wrote onto one man's or
several men's hearts, which they then dictate to their congregation,
while it may not be God's will for the congregation as a whole.

Spider, I have another question for you. Do you ever fear that what you
interpret and pass on to others may be incorrect?

I only ask because it is so often stated that one can never know how God
will judge. With that knowledge I can never figure out what gives any
the courage to attemt to 'teach' what scripture means.

Redykeulous,

The more I have grown in the spirit, the more I can hear the Holy Spirit
in my own Bible study. The Holy Spirit has answered questions and
explained scriptures to me. It's like a flash of insight that brings
the scripture into perfect focus. I don't teach anything that the Holy
Spirit hasn't revealed to me, so I avoid subjects like salvation and
usually hell. I personally believe that there is no hell, but the Holy
Spirit knows that whatever the truth is, I'm not ready for it. Perhaps
the truth about the afterlife won't be given to anyone until after
death, so that it remains the great mystery.

7 am here in sunny amsterdam....mornin all !


hey Redykeulous! xx

hi Spider! xx

monday mornin, looks like a dark storm is comin on one side of my
house and on the other the day is as blue and calm as mid summer!!


which is true? lol


my house faces east west so literally it gets cut in half by the weather
patterns here....everything we need is around us if we are able to
recognize it is another cookie!


sweet dreams everyone

Thanks again Spider.

Bl8ant, We've been haveing a lot of days like that lately. I love
driving in it either trying to beat the incoming darkness or driving
head on into it. What is find the most fascinating is that edge, just
between the light and the dard and it's the only place raining. Have
a great day! Mine is done, I'm ready to sleep now.

Night all!

i just love it!!! that edge...heh heh

How many species are extinct because of mankind? How many more will
become extinct due to mankind's need to dominate & abuse the planet?
Maybe "Plan B" would have been a better choice? Humans are the only
species that destroys what sustains life. And this makes us the most
intelligent? Why? How?

What did you mean when you wrote this?


I meant exactly what I said. I did not imply in any way non-belief in a
"higher power", as you stated in your post that followed. You quoted
biblical scripture that stated humans were "made/created" to rule over
everything. I just made an observation. From now on, I think I will do
my best to keep my opinions to myself since some people tend to apply
their own implications to every thing I say.

Ghostwhisperer, your posts are as valuable as Spidercmb's are,
don't be quiet because he tries to shut you up. I think about people
like me, Jess, AB and Red, the ones who want to learn

Invisible;
Thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I am
rather upset & confused right now, after receiving too many horrible
emails. I do not understand why anyone would go out of their way to be
so hateful. I would never consider such a thing. I just feel as if I am
placing my own head in the guillotine every time I post in this forum. I
realize that my philosophies are not that of, from what I have seen,
anyone else. Which is fine. There are many Christians in here that are
not judgemental & do not attempt to "save" me. I truly appreciate that.
I do not post in attempt to sway anyone to my way of thinking, just to
state my opinion, which is just that.
Thanx again for your words of wisdom. I value your opinion & truly
respect everyone who deserves it.

Ghost, don't let anyone keep you from sharin your feelings on any given
subject. If they send you hate mail, report them, since that is goin
out of their way, and really just downright stupid. Keep doin your
thing, and keep your head up high. Not everyone is gonna agree with
everyone else, so just brush em off.

GhostWhisperer, as I said, your posts are as valuable as all the others,
to hold back now would be punishment for all of us who want to learn and
to see what is out there. We all come from
different walks of life and have come to out beliefs on different paths,
don't let one or two who think they have it all stop you
from sharing this with us.

YEAH!!

Thanks so much red & invisible. My head is always held high. I bow to
nothing. But I also do not like to be burned at the virtual-stake for my
opinions. I really understand why who are people like me tend to remain
in the preverbial shadows & keep to their own. Being misunderstood &
judged gets old, fast. Especially by people who's hat size rivals their
I.Q..





I think it's coffee time. Anyone want some? I grind my own beans!!

No problem. I must say, I don't think like most people, and I tend to
get catagorized often as well. It sucks, but it does show their level of
respect, and anyone who claims to know/teach the word of God should know
respect is a big part of how to treat people. I've never claimed myself
to be all-knowing or any sh*t like that, and never will. I don't really
know EXACTLY what I believe, but I know there isn't a religion out there
that shares my views. I assume from the way you were talkin, it's about
the same for you. Check me if I'm wrong, please. I just think it's
downright funny when someone says I'm goin to hell cuz I don't believe
this or that. FUNNY!! Just let them be miserable and hateful, as long
as you remember what kind of person you are. Take it easy. Red
