    Is Baha'u'llah true or false Prophet?

    I dont think one verse in one of the gospels stands as a 'universal qualifier' for who is a prophet or not, since plenty of holy men & women, seers, sages, teachers, oracles, avatars, etc. have been on earth serving within different religious traditions, cultures and geographical locations...

    hi, enjoy the musings,...im a bit more liberal and eclectic in my views, having fun with it :) - especially the untarian/trinitarian debates......they are old hat, but fun to jump into sometimes, if but dismal or unfruitful at times. Feel free to check out my other posts. I have yet to get some...

    For trinity believers: Does your world come unravelled if Jesus is not God,but ONLY Gods Son?

    :thumbsup: All can read the Bible and make their own interpretation, by study and meditation,....open to divine guidance, thats all any can do. It also stands though that how one interprets the Bible may be influenced by his upbringing, culture, exposure to any particular religious group or cult...

    What happened to Christian Science

    We have one in Bend, Oregon. Never been inside one, - I find some of the work fairly coherent spiritual teaching, mainly the metaphysical interpretation of scripture mostly....as most New Thought is. I'm a graduate from the Divine Science school, which is similar to Christian Science in some of...

    For trinity believers: Does your world come unravelled if Jesus is not God,but ONLY Gods Son?

    Bravo :) The Universal Father-God of all, is the One God of all,......no matter how you view or explain how the Son of God is RELATED to the One God :) All comes from 'God' and returns to 'God', since 'God' is all. One Absolute Reality IS,.....all else is relative, an expanding realm of...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Existence IS....this suffices for me :) - the reality of one's own consciousness is fundamental to life,.....call it 'God' if you like, which includes infinity, all potentials and possibilities innate to being. - otherwise,...im more of a mystic, spiritualist, theosophist......life is about...

    Trinity complex....its all ONE anyways :) - Jesus the Firstborn implies he was BEGOTTEN...this implies a time when Jesus was literally NOT BEGOTTEN. The whole Arian debate was over semantics mostly with some other preloaded content.

    Jesus - First Born?

    A Unitarian concept is most logical and practical for most mortals accepting Jesus as the Son of God proper, the beginning of the creation of God, Firstborn from the dead, firstborn among many brethren and so on. Its simple familial lineage and relationship context in which to relate to 'God'...

    If there is a life after death.....

    ~*~*~ I see life as a never ending unfolding of energy, consciousness and spirit. Individual units of consciousness or 'souls' continue to involve and evolve in various bodies (material or metaphysical), depending on what adventures of learning and experience are to be had as consciousness...

    Isaiah 53: The Arm of the Lord.

    I think a compromise most take is it Israel refers to both the collective and singular 'Servant-Son', while it is still always Israel being God's chosen (no mention of Jesus), no matter if one spiritualizes 'Israel' or not as Paul and other christian theologians have done to graft themselves...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    If it was just between him and Joe Biden again, definitely TRUMP....but seriously cant see Joe running again. We also need to start getting some younger people in the game running for president! ~*~*~

    Isaiah 53: The Arm of the Lord.

    All is fine as this is one possible interpretation look at all the data available, so the Lord reveals his power/glory thru his mighty ARM :) The Creator uses his Agent(representative) or many different agents to reveal his GLORY, yes...thats pretty awesome. The skekinah is wonderful too, as a...

    Isaiah 53: The Arm of the Lord.

    That the 'servant' is 'Israel' is very clear and many times spelled out in the chapters concerned in Isaiah, - Israel as God's Son also clearly can refer to Isaiah himself as in one passage, the collective nation of Israel, a righteous remnant, as well as include any or all propets and the...

    Isaiah 53: The Arm of the Lord.

    Hi John, Aha, good 'foreward' before going on in debate on Is. 53....readers can link back to my original post that started our short relay in the thread about 'God killing Jesus' in this particular chapter here :) - my responses follow on this page onward in that thread..... I've been...

    Isaiah says God will kill Jesus?

    Yep, all language is symbolic :) - where Jesus went after his supposed 'crucifixion'....or if he survived the cross by some subterfuge or illusion is open to speculation (toss in swoon theory too), but some fun bunny trails to follow on those possibilities :) - two possibilities of where he...

    Isaiah says God will kill Jesus?

    Hello John, Interestingly, Ive not read alot of Nietzsche or Kierkgaard, but some have said some of my philosophical musings are similar, but I'd have to dive deeper and see any correlaries :) I probably wing it more than them lol. I dont know if the crucifixion and resurrection is anything...

    Isaiah says God will kill Jesus?

    John 3:16 does not abrogate the principle of self-responsibility for your own thoughts, deeds and actions. The universal law of karma and free will....continue as long as any actions take place, as long as you remain a sentient being in any realm of conditional existence....there are...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    But Jews wrote that book for themselves, being part of their belief-system/cult-ure, so it is a uniquely 'Jewish' convention/invention :) You would also have to have 'faith' that the record is valid or has value, - back to personal acceptance and 'faith'. I'm agnostic about it, but as I touched...
