sad how far delusion taken over your mind. why should we fear god just because we dont believe when his own priests dont fear him when they rape little boys in his name?
sorry for butting in but... Good news! Through powers that are found in the evolution of religion, which is known to be uncontrollable, yet another irreversible awakening has come to pass over billions who have discovered a modern day scripture. The new spiritual renaissance. The Saviour is known. His name, Harry Potter. Harry died so that He might vanquish evil and rid the world of the Devil, This is the Word as told in Revelations : Book of Deathly Hallows. In a thousand years time, or maybe two, the myriad lost souls of religion are destined to hold unconditional faith in the next story of divine belief ; the Good Books of Potter. ( or "P_tter" as some will call Him ) Harry is destined to become the authoritative sacred story, the only Bible for the tue believer. Honest people will come to know the good news about Potter and have an opportunity to accept Harry as their personal Saviour. Evil ones will try and have His name bedammned. In Harry's defeat of evil overcoming Voldemort - the Devil - which is more than Christ ever managed, His name bears witness to all true teaching by His life and those of His greatest disciples Hermione and Dudley. Harry died then lived again, to show the world His power in redemption. To follow Him and His teachings is to conquer evil for all time. Place everything in your life in His hands. Fear Him. He has proven Himself with His faithfulness and through the testimony of miracles He performs. Surrender your life to Him. Know that inner quietness submission brings, experience contentment and peace on a daily basis. Be assured His promise of love and righteousness is true and real. And best of all, if you do, look forward to spending eternity with Harry. p. 722 "Do not pity the dead, Pity the living and above all, those who live without love." Bless. stu
LeapUp is deluded alright, but what you are saying is not fair either. They (some priests) rape little boys AGAINST His name.
..but then by your own explanations, you are deluded , as you say LeapUp is. Deluded by the same thing, just in a different way.
And which way is that? Ok, I get it now because of those evil quotations I brought forth in this discussion. Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. -- Buddha The object of the superior man is truth. -- Confucius Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.-- Martin Luther King Jr. There is nothing more frightening than active ignorance.-- Goethe I'm sorry I left out your god, Harry Potter. Maybe I will include him next time.
This had nothing to do with him not being cool. He just couldn't sit. He had a bad back from Hatha Yoga. Those Yoga asanas can be real killers. I decided to try out the Shaking Yoga Headstand Meditation two years ago. Now I have cervical dystonia and I need Botox injections every three months.
Having read the entire thread, I notice that each contributor has a truism or a kind of "truth" to offer. The quarrels arise because the truth is fragmented in a way that each has a part of it, but none have all of it...at least in their current state of awareness. And this is parabolic of the broken Son of God, who has confused himself through the "sin" of self-denial. In an attempt to bring peace, I will start from the beginning and emphasize the true/truth/truism that each has contributed...and then put it into perspective. In the end, you will see how all the pieces fit together to re-create a seemless whole. In the assembly of the whole, each is reliant upon each one's contribution in order for the Truth to make sense again to those who have made nonsense of it. Jesus
This is a truism. However, there was a catalyst - a basis - from which the imagination of Paul and the NT writers depart from in order to create an imaginary character. Jesus
This is a truism. If you appear to be a person in a world of persons, you are complicit in the denial of Christ. The denial of Christ defines "sin", and establishes instead a world of planets, people and persons. Since all persons are Christ in denial of self, all have "sinned". Christ is the glory of God *our Father*, so all persons/personas fall short of the glory of God, as an ugly, distorted halloween mask falls short of the relative symetry of it's wearer. Since the world of people and persons [masks] depict the crucifixion of Christ, it's halloween all year round. And since you are complicit in the making of the world, yes, you are indeed complicit in Christ's crucifixion, along with all other people and persons and personas. Jesus
Superficially, yes. A better truism would interpret it as a parody of suicide, which explains the truest genesis of this world [as opposed to biblical genesis myth]: The voluntary, deliberate, and unwitting suicide of Christ through the denial of Self. This gives rise to all physical/form phenomena which includes personhood, nations, place, time, trees, wood, crosses, blood and pain. These are all concepts. None of these concepts are true. They are a rediculous parody of creation making this world a state-of-mind assisted suicide. The crucifixion was a rediculous parody exposing a rediculous parody. Only when it is understood this way does it "save" any person. The true creation is Christ, which is mind and spirit, not flesh and spirit. Flesh is for crucifixion, in millions of morbid ways. Jesus
