why spiritual children seem to insist on such a literal translation, like children will do. If i told you 'wait here for the present,' would you still sit there all day? Understand why Christ said
You pore over the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet they speak of Me.

wadr, you are following a script that has been manufactured for you, that you call "required," or "normal," or "the only way," when you do not know. And if the men who taught you would have been honest, they would have indicated that they did not know, either. What did they tell you about the schism that split the church at the Councils of Trent? Are you sure you landed on the right side of that one? I am convinced you did not. Those who taught you signed a pact in order to be ordained,
swearing to uphold doctrine regardless of any future spiritual unction. A deal with the devil.

oh, i def agree. and your religion, the framework you hang your faith on, has nothing whatsoever to do with it. God does not care in the slightest what religion you are, and will judge your
heart.

You really think so? how do you know? But they call on the same Name in Creation-centered Chritianity, anyway. Please see that i at least, am only
suggesting to you that you may wish to go back to everything you assume is unshakeable, and give it a little shake. God is not going to drop you. A death centered religion is for suckers. Christ rose, and lives.

funny, reading that last part, even though you have
listed Love first, i distinctly hear it coming last. The OT is over; we are in a different dispensation now--that of Grace. Trust that God
delights in your unique way of producing fruit. Wadr, i could tell you where i hear all the vengeance and wrath coming from...
As the believers go, so goes the nation.
Don't believe me; but you might read the Harbinger. Never mind, even, about anyone's religion, for the moment. Your leaders have declared a curse for their own--right out of Isaiah--and included you in it. I think the online preview would give you most of the info,

i mean dang, we're swirling around the bottom of the bowl--we can yack about ones religion anytime. recognizing a more spiritually awake and alive conception of Christ does not require that you abandon any core beliefs, anyway--you can hang on to most of that yack for as long as you like.
