each voice in his head must be a different religion

I'm schizophrenic and so am I.

What is standing between GOD and your soul?

McDonalds?

The soul is rooted at all times in GOD.....always.

It originates directly from GOD.....always....at all times.

The question is.....do you ignore GOD and turn away from GOD and chase after the fleeting illusions of this world?



Luke 1

77 thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins.

Yeah. Like talking sh*t about sexual orientation or some other subjects that other people obviously know nothing about...

The fact that you're a homosexual does NOT make you an expert on all things homosexual.

In fact, it might make you pretty blind to facts.

And there you go again with those reading comprehension problems again...
That's not what I was saying. At all...

But your reply has an ironic parallel for the "Bible" situation you keep bringing up....

But keep on trying Jefferson. You shouldn't get discouraged by your failures...

f there is any objection i have to the bible it would be that. I have no doubt that jesus must have said he was the son of god just as we are all the children of god.

But i believe that he used it as a metaphor.

Being the son of god can obviously be interepreted in a multitude of ways. The most logical would be that he was stating that he was a creation of god. Calling himself the "offspring" or "son" of god would mean the same thing.

Now as to calling himself God in the flesh is also subject to rational interpretation. As god's representation, bringing god's law, doing god's work and speaking god's law... well yes.. For the lack of a better description the population must accept him as god in the flesh.. Of course because they will nevefr actually SEE god in any other way than in the words and deeds of his prophet.

There is no negation of the words in the bible. Merely a question of interpretation.

I agree.

I believe the clearest interpretation of ...."Son of God".....is "Disciple of God"....


Just as the "Children of Abraham" are those who do after the works of Abraham.........and are the disciples....or followers of Abraham....... (John 8: 39)



So too are the "Children of God".....the followers and disciples of GOD.


In this way I believe that Christ was proclaming himself to be the son of God....and those who follow his teachings, also the children of God. (Mathew 5:48 & Gal 3:26-29)



However.....there is another more basic understanding as well....which is that as spiritual beings....we are all in fact the direct descendants of GOD.
