well "Rainbow Trout"...Sigmund Freud would probably say that you and/or those people must be having dreams about having sex with you all mothers

Change that to... "so if you believe in THAT GOD... " and it makes more sense.

But you by no means HAVE to believe in the Bible or the Koran in order to believe in God. Only to believe in THAT concept of God.

RE: otherwise...

"make your own commandments to follow..." sounds like a great idea to me.,

"thus make yourself into the role of God.."

Yes. That is the pantheist view. We are all God.

I make my own commandments.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((funches))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

that would be true if you worship the flying spaghetti monster or dagon or the tooth fairy and referred to them by those names ...but once someone claim to believe in something they label as God, then God becomes an enity and the religion are the laws that enity has set forth ...that's why God and religion goes hand in hand ..to dismiss one is to dismiss both

runs out

((((((((((((((((((((((((imageorgiagirl))))))))))))))))))))))))))

as feralcatlady runs out Funches pats her on her ..oops I forgot...Britty told me to behave ...in that case Funches pats feralcatlady on her shoulder

that Jesus died for the greater good of mankind could also be used as the slogan for those on Death Row ....because when Jesus died on Death Row... what was the greater good

Oh how funny.....like the funches listens to what anyone says....I guess a great testiment to my chica Britty......giggle.....

The greater good was so that we flesh humans can have eternal life instead of just ceasing to exist after we die.

I do realize that you have been told that many times until you have accepted it as truth. But what sense does it make, really?
None. Soul is either eternal or it is not. The torture and murder of a man has no effect on that unless it was some sort of bargain with a stronger and more powerful God than yours.

how rude ...I have you know "Miss Feralcatlady" that I listen to what everyone says and then reciprocate in kind thank you very much

but "imageorgiagirl"..that's the same thing they tell suicide bombers ...so instead of Jesus doing it for the greater good of mankind you just gave a reason why Jesus was more likely suicidal

Actually I draw my conclusion on a lot more than just what I’ve been told. I sort of understand a little about pantheism through Abras posts and reading about it online. It has a lot of good points in a sense as well as others that I feel are just false.
I personally feel sure we all will exist in spirit after death temporarily until time for the creator to accept or deny us into eternity. I just don’t agree with the statement that the soul is either eternal or it’s not. The Creator has the power to destroy what he made.

Then the creator will allow a second death to those souls that prefer it that way as well as to Satan’s soul. I am assuming you know what the scriptures say or maybe not. Jesus started the life after death thing. Before him the punishment to mankind for sin or evil was simply to die at death. That is why I say Jesus sacrificed himself for the greater good of all mankind. Otherwise we would just cease to exist when we die and just be mortal.

You know… For God so loved the world he sent his only begotten son so that whosoever believeth in me shall not perish but shall have everlasting life. I know you’ve heard that one before. I honestly believe it to be the truth and that he allows us to choose what we prefer. My God is the only true God I believe too. And yes he is the Almighty and he is very much humanistic as well as spirit.

Actually some of your beliefs seem somewhat altruistic while other aspects of them seem ludicrous or misguided to me. It seems the feeling is mutual to some degree for sure. But I can respect that. We all have our own reasons for feeling or thinking as we do.

I t seems you believe in some true aspects of God such as he lives spiritually within us all and we are all connected through his living spirit kind of thing. I don’t think you view him as humanistic but more as a life-force type of being maybe. I did go to your website and checked it out.

It was quite interesting. I’d read somewhere else a little about the holographic universe theory too. I am not real sure what I think about it but it was interesting. Traditionally I guess when people think of Christianity some think of it as a myth or religion but I view it as simply the truth more so than anything else. It isn’t just because that is what some think I should do or that I want to feel holier than thou nor is it so that I can try and shove my beliefs down anyone’s throat.

If I get too carried away or get on your nerves too bad just tell me and I’ll try and refrain myself. Funches already thinks I’m somewhat delusional. He could be right…

Jesus was not suicidal because he knew that He was going to return to life. He needed to pass through the cross to fullfil the scriptures. However, the greatest miracle was His resurrection.
That point is the one ur brain is not able to understand, that is why u go around trying to mislead people with your questions.

suicidal? Just be glad I wasn't Jesus. I probably would've weaseled out of it somehow for sure and then where would mankind be? We would be screwed for sure. Now Prince has an old song "I would die for you." I wonder what he would've done.

Is there anyone you would die for? Just curious.

Yep

How are ya' Mr Walker? Good I hope.

very good my friend. what about urself?
