    But that's how. The transubstantiation is for each one of us a personal experience, and the many souls for the future revelations and return of Christ, future prophets and re-creation of the Seplucer, etc. will make the true physical war and good times of the present meaningful that we may or may not have the right opinion.

    Now: in all respects to your opinions, would you consider to be Righteous FOR the re-writing in the re-reading?

    I'm not drunk but I find this quite funny. I have no idea of the claims you are making for me. What is my spiritualism? You and sathead have been trading names for me for a while. You have introduced me to the works of many "philosophers". But I will disavow any particular except for the reality of being, the whole spirit or Holy spirit. I can have this conversation without the use of "religious" vernacular and the content will be the same. These discussions are all of energetic interaction.

    No measure of belief speaks for outcomes, only transient perspective.

    My virtue is not earned, but revealed. I did not create myself.
    We face a required curriculum that comes in many forms, the condition of embodiment. To pick it up and lay it down at will is mastery. "It's desire is for you, but you must learn to master it."

    I can help it if you have loved the darkness rather than the light.

    You could give of yourself if you wanted to.

    You are not empirical for what you write now. Yes, in Christianity it is reasonable that he does not know the light for the value of wordedness.
    :cool:
    No? No, it is to be aware of the foolish ways in the Corinthians and to seek the responsible.

    Your right. I was hoping by way of encouragement. Fact is that it is the abundance of our heart that resonates.

    What do you think I've been doing? I've given of myself and you seem to wish to remain in the dark.

    As I say, my wish is to convey meaning to a subject that may be unfamiliar to some folks, "as above so below", yours is to convey the party line, and to demonstrate me wrong.
    A man speaks from the abundance of his heart, like I say, if I am ever genuinely hungry I hope you give me something besides paper to eat.

    I agree there are no idle thoughts. It matters to the extent that to whom much is given much is expected and to those who have little even that will be taken away.

    Party line? So that is what you are calling God's word now a days.

    As for demonstrating you wrong, I don't have to, you do that well enough on your own.
    I have given you true food, I can't help that you reject it.

    No, it is what I call your actions and some of your beliefs. In particular your vulgar little cult of human sacrifice.

    You are the first one to post in this thread beside myself and the first thing you did was object to my terms and have done little else this entire thread. If you think I make a fool of myself then why are you here? You my friend are not demonstrating honesty.
    It is you who find me unworthy.

    Well the truth comes out, you find what Jesus did vulgar and yet you call yourself a Christian.
    Honesty? I merely pointed out that God and good then are not synonymous terms. You went off trying to prove something that is not true.
    If so, then why do I continue to give you true food, even though you discard it?

    I said I was a disciple of Christ. What I find vulgar is what some have made of the finest example of love. Christs message is that God loves his children and to know the love of God you love as God loves, and you know God's love to the extent you love God.
    Like I say, other than to call me wrong, why are you here?
    I don't know if you are aware of this or not but no one is nourished by being told that they are wrong. We find nourishment in those things which gladden us. If you had a glad message for me, I would recognize it. What good news would you share with me waterbrother?

    I will share some good news with you, there is no place in the Bible or any other place that says you need waterbrothers recommendation or approval to follow Christ.
    He has an opinion,whether scriptural or not, and that is true for him and his walk with God,at present.Each of us walk with the Lord alone and I can not tell you where to step,since I am not invited to stand between you and Christ on this particular path. Many members make a body and the small toe is as important as the right eye, but could never instruct the eye on what is seen.

    I am fully aware that God knows me in secret
    I am also fully aware that only what waterbrother believes accounts for waterbrother. He can only hear what he can hear. His mind a kingdom he alone rules. I do not need waterbrothers approval, do I need him stand on my neck when I try to speak, any more? All the same, waterbrother deserves my attention as his attention is on me.

    Thank you.

    If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. But if anyone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience' sake, the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience? If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?

    One of Christs message was that a good Shepard lays down his life for his sheep. Why does this message trouble you so much?

    A gift is not a sacrifice. This is an important distinction. The whole idea of sacrifice is a mechanism of mammon, the exchange rate It is the money changer in the temple. The temple of God is the heart of man. Our heart lies with our treasure. God treasures you as you were created there is no act of attrition that is required, no payment to be what you are.

    We are created in the likeness and image of God and there is nothing you can do to alter that. God is love. Love is what you are. look inside yourself and you see nothing but devotion to one measure or another. You come into this world a gift, without condition, without need for payment. There being no condition placed upon you, the world is yours to do with as you will, and you do. However, love, yourself, having no condition, is beyond what can be taught. No one can teach you how to be your good or godly self, but we can remove the blocks we have erected to loves awareness, i.e. judgment.
    Devil means slanderer, he is a slander against the holy child of god.
