Indeed, if one can receive them and this only by preceiving the Good in spite of the Chaos. Be good that you may see it in all things and you will know Gods blessings upon you even in the darkest of hours.
WOW, Randy . . . Christ and Christos are one in the same meaning "Love Consciousness'. which is the cause of the Bible; what the Bible is specifally about. His system is that of of Love for He is the Love Spirit the Son of God the Father . . Find out what the various words and names in the Bible mean and you will be better able to penetrate His Divine Mysteries, for they are the secrets to His Divine Wll and the redemption of His lost Children, Mankind. . . . As far as knowing everything, please, I know little, but more than most. I simply share what I have been allowed to understand. . . . Maybe next time Randy . . may God bless your journies :-).
Wouldn't matter one way or the other, God's ideas are what they are Love and Peace His essence would remain. "Christian" is just a word like any other, therefore depends on what one honors or calls Christian. For there are Christians that are not Christians and some that are not Christians that are indeed Christians by Virtue of what they do Honor: Love and Peace, therefore no matter the Tradition or Creed, this is to be Christian. And again, this is to be the True Christian, whether they know it or not.
The American Indians are an excellent example for they Knew the Great Father, and His Happy Hunting grounds. They were in total harmony with Nature and were thankful for all it gave them. They understood Love and Peace honoring it in every way. They were true Christians before the false christians arrived to dispoil them, and their beautiful Harmony in God. There are many such examples in the world.
Thus is the aformentioned the common ground whereby all traditions may find Union. For the Understanding of Love and Peace transcends all barriers; language and worldly systems, etc. Fundamentalists of any kind, do not understand the Christos (Christ) or such power coming to men through the Father (God).
In fact they (fundamentalists) have a great tendecy, in their dogmatic ignorance to become as stumbling blocks to those who truly seek. Therefore they are not truly Christians, they are swimming in the illusions of fundamentalism. Thus the word christian could dissappear and it wouldn,t matter as God's plans and ideas of Himself would ever continue and the debates continue as well.. ;-)
Most definitely when one Understands the veiled secrets (Parables/Riddles) of any Bible. Its divine ideas are not ment to be viewed Literally for then it becomes a horror, as the world will attest even unto this time.
But when Spiritually Understood and applied to ones life it becomes the Joy of Life, for its loving Solutions lie with mens hearts. These come when one becomes One with the Inner Conscience of Spirit.
Therefore, it must be ever the Spiritual Intent men must seek of any Bible of any tradition or creed. Imagine the power if all men Understood, the world would lite, illumated with the divine Light of Love. WOW and Amen.
Foggy One, I re-read your comments, they seem contrary to all former dogmatics you have offered. Maybe I have connected to the other one, the true one after all. I knew he was there somewhere. For what it is worth, Well said, well versed. :-)
Foggy one that One of which we speak, is in one even you when you receive the Christ in truth, a Christed truth you cannot seem to hear (understand) or receive. Yet you speak of indwellment without a clue. This is the hypocricy of your kind.
As ever you are a stone ever hiding behind words you cannot understand. What is their intent or inner meaning beyond the literial? For all His words contained Spiritual intent, otherwise, how do you account for His speaking in parables and riddles?
For so sayeth the Christ, (not Jesus, but through Jesus) . . . ye in me and I in you." It means to be received in the Spirit of Love. Love Consciousness, is the teacher, this is the ONE who will teach you all thngs., this IS the presence of Christ.! You cannot hear those that are received in this, no more than the pharisees could hear or receive the Spirited words of Christ Jesus. Christ is not so limited as you make him, he has many voices.
The Comforter is come by the sacrifice of Jesus revealed. Yet, there is even one of you in here who thinks the man Jesus is going to come down to suffer in this world some more just for him! How ignorant, how selfish; He already did that, He need not do it again, his works were finished in this world in by His introduction of Christ.
And foggy, you present yourself as Jesus still suffering on the cross . Shame on you. The Comforter is come, revealed to us by Jesus, and now heard in mens hearts who truly seek. I am so sorry for you and your kind as you are missing it again...
The word "karma" simply means or refers to the natural law of "Cause and Effect. Simply put for the literal world, street wise, "what goes around comes around, what one puts out one gets back sooner or later." It is expressed in many sayings. For instance: ":Judge not lest ye yourself be judged." an eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth."
These are but metaphors warning one of the impact of one thoughts and deeds; for good or for evil upon themselves. And indeed, it is true all men in this world suffer, even good men; although good men do not suffer the viciousness of this realm.
For though we may not get all we desire in this world, but what we do get out of this Existence, we have planted our own seeds, by our beliefs, thoughts and action. If good then happiness, if evil the dues of our own choices. No blame on the world or on anyone else.
We are all subject to Natural Law whether we believe it or not, and by its aspect of Karma are our lives are a testament to it. For by it we alone are our own judges. God Bless. be Good be happy. :-)
The like is always attracted unto its like. One is always attracted to a like person. Who one attracts or chooses is always a reflection of what is in one, this is the magnetism of natiure. Like Nature attracts like nature. This is natural law.
Some oft make lists of qualities of their preferences, the problem is when they find such a person, that person may also be looking for a perfect person and neither will find. It is thus one with such a selfish attitude is simply courting dissappointment and will most likely miss the right one.
So simply be honest and if your heart is true the right person will come, without all the shallow fuss and you will know them. Trust in the Good to bring you your hearts desire. ;-)
He's not a boy friend and you are apparently a convience.
Bits of crystalized Vitnious Humour (forgive spelling) , the fluid that gives the eyes their fullness and thus their shape. They are very common as the years pass. Athough they may increase over the years. If they start to hinder sight its a simple operation. Generally nothing to fear.
