I would like to provoke a little animosity???
First and foremost ... i believe in the God of Abraham, Ishah and Jacob ,,, and Ishmael.
And I believe that Jesus came into this world to fulill prophesy!
He did just that! BUT Before he died; Jusus told Peter, James, and John and Andrew ..... that ... shush .. this is a private conversation (OK?),
But ... "This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled"
And then it happens just the way Jesus said that It would!
Acording to religion; Jesus didn't say anything the way that he indended it to say. "Religion" has to interpret everything in such a way as he "Could" (??) have meant it this way?? And maybe not?? Or that way ?
If Ya really want to understand the bible ????
Start reading them words that are written in red.
And then try to understand scripture in such a way as to .. "NOT" contradict those words that came out of the Masters Own mouth!
The New Testament will take on an entirely different meaning. that is, "if" Ya believe that what he said is the true word of God.. And nobody should chance it
That is what I believe!
Edit Well it is 12:55 AM here... guess I shouldnA posted this yet. But good night.
That's one of the primary problems I have with religion.
I think it's great that people read religious texts and try to understand the connection of the physical to the spiritual. But, then it all gets discombobulated on this treasure hunt in the physical world.
Not that there is anything wrong with your interpretation. I, personally, enjoy reading your ideas. But, then there's all the others where some are arguing over who get tickets on the first train out of here.
I wish people would understand that whole part of the Christian religion has proven itself to be nothing more than trouble. To put it in terms the religious will understand; this whole freaking revelation scenario should have been deemed the Antichrist many, many moons ago.

I like your reference of a treasure hunt. It is kinda like that.
Imagine ... when we begin our hunt; misunderstanding the FIRST clue and then following the rest of the directions based upon that misconception.
It does seem important to Christians for them to believe that the first bus to heaven hasn't come yet.
When we want this to be true; we will Misinterpret any and everything in any way necessary ... for this to be what is written.
Am I really following Jesus? when I do not believe what "HE" said, because I misinterpret that which his disciples wrote in such a way as to agree with what I "WANT" to believe.
When in fact, we are waiting or the Last bus.
Best Well Kept Secret?
Sure, it's the simple fact that spirituality is BS. It is solely based on mysticism from earlier centuries and was debunked in the late 70's early 80's, as a person who is intellectually dishonest with themselves.
It was nice of the "church" to cover up the findings and use every theists known to humankind, in an attempt to discredit, so it could maintain it's hoax on the masses.

I've been supportive of Christians for the most part. Probably because of the respect I hold for the ministry of Jesus and the goodness I believe is the heart of the universe.I've lost the ability to support you guys. The lies and innuendo, the games many play circumventing the truth, the total...

God is the Begining and the End, creator of all things, meaning everything! No disrespect meant here, how can some of us question this?Why is it so difficult for some people to see this truth? If you are a non believer in God or Jesus, what are your thoughts on His teachings? Surely the teachings...

I often wonder about the Church and Bible. I had a friend in college who would read it every night before going to bed. He would attend church every Sunday. Is the Bible a reference on how to conduct ones life? Is it some sort of medium in which Jesus or God communicates...

After reading through the religion forum, I see a lot of different views, but I also see some that are very much the same. What I am curious about is this ... are we all mostly different, or are we preaching the same message from different mouths?Only one way to find out ...I just want to know the...
