I wasn't SCARED TO ask ANYTHING. fact is...I didnt know HOW to ask it. I may not be as articulate as many here...and YES I ADMIT IT...i am not always able to get across what I am trying to ask

to admit now that you didn't know how to ask is what I said in that first paragraph so then why do you keep getting mad at me ..I'm not here to hurt anyone I actually want to know ..no one will tell you anything beyond their belief because it's obvious their belief forbids them to go beyond the belief ..so sometimes you may have to push them beyond the belief by asking them the hard questions ...

I stated at the beginning of this d@mn thread i didn't know how to explain what i was asking!!!!!

God is a Triune Being, yet One God.
There is only ONE GOD....yet still 3 persons in one.
Father ...Son ...Holy Spirit.
YET ONE God.

That is what Jesus meant when he said ,"I and the Father are One".

To better understand this......
look at man....

Man is 3 beings in 1 also...yes?

Man lives in a Physical house (body )
has a soul
and a spirit

See?

3 in one....

So ... that would mean that man's soul for instance, is only one separate part of man's triune being..yet all 3 parts of man's being , is STILL ONE MAN.

God is also a Triune Being....3 in one......
Father.. Son ....Holy Spirit...
YET ONE GOD!!!!

Amen.

I have never seen you post anything offensive to anyone. All I’ve ever seen are people being offended by the truths that you post and the question that you pose.

And I agree with you comment about pantheism being ‘NEW AGE’ only in the sense that a lot of people who had been raised under the dogma of Christianity finally realized that a better picture of God exists. So for them it would be “new”. But the actually philosophy is quite ancient. Even bit as ancient as any of the religions that contain deities.



That’s an absolutely valid question to ask. And I personally believe that Jesus was indeed a Pantheist and was just misunderstood. The people who wrote about him twisted his words to make them fit their preconceived mythologies (many of which were borrowed from the Greeks).

There are claims that Jesus did in fact write things down, but those writings were destroyed because they didn’t fit in with the picture that people wanted to use Jesus to portray.

Besides, you can’t have a savior and a flood that destroys all of humanity in the same story of a supposedly unchanging God. The God either offers salvation, or he flushes the toilet. He can’t be arbitrarily doing bother randomly. Such a God would be extremely unpredictable and undependable. You couldn’t trust anything this God does or says because it’s likely to change its mind again tomorrow.

It’s a picture of a completely irresponsible and untrustworthy God.

Soul and spirit are just two different words that refer to the same concept.

Wherever your soul is, so is your spirit.

Got something to say....go for it.....I have always known what panthiest believe I didn't know that was something you did not know....Do I believe in it.....Not on your life...I love nature but God created all....I love all that God created but I would never in a million years call his works god including myself....nope never happen.

I do......I am big and huge on saving this planet....but I don't think that the trees and flowers and animals that live on it are god......

Neither do I. But I believe that all things are a part of God. And God is a part of all things.

Abra...soul and spirit are NOT the same.

Spirit..... is that part of man that God says, must be born again.

Soul.... consists of mind ,thoughts ,will ,emotions ,feelings, and affections .
That part of man(his soul) ,is an entirely separate part from man's spirit .

Body....that part of man (the fleshly house) consisting of flesh, blood and bone..the part that returns to dust , once man departs from his earthly body.

Abra....once more.....

God WILL NEVER

EVER

EVER


EVER.......

MAke sense thru the INTELLECT!!!

NEVER!!

ONLY thru a Born again Spirit, will the things of God FINALLY Make Sense!!!

Convenient thing about faith. It never requires proof.

I agree with that.....but their is a difference between God being part of everything and everything being god..There is God and then God created all that we have. And yes this is only my belief.....but nonetheless for me it just is....as is God....He is, Was, and always Will Be.

Define everything feral...

I think I did.....at least in respect to panthiest and christian beliefs.....would you like me to define something else there creative..... (and yes I did do that laugh)

Wiley, when a man is truly born again, he KNOWS that he KNOWS that he KNOWS that something has happened in his spirit..He KNOWS without a shadow of doubt, that his spirit has truly become BORN AGAIN....cause God SPIRIT bears witness with his spirit.
God does NOT leave man in the dark, still quessing about whether or not he is truly born again,after becoming born again.... trust me.

(as an aside... love that blackbird pic you sometimes display on your profile, Wiley...been wanting to ask you, where did you find that pic ...love it )....

or in response to this...

I think they are in the sex threads...

Or maybe the 420 thread your best friend hosts...
