    excellent, you know many xians not familiar with the UB, may be clueless on UB Christology, let alone its cosmology. You also know I come from a greater liberal context of things and may approach it just metaporically, or just muse on some of the philosophical aspects of a subject :) - My...

    Hello metis, thanks for your inquiry on Spinoza.....like I said, Ive browsed over some of his work, but not too deeply, his pantheism being of prime interest. Im more of a 'meta-theist', so some of my philosophical musing can seem purely 'pantheistic' :) - but its all a matter of nuance and context.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    Im familiar with Spinoza yes, and have yet to read more of his works, I think I have a kindle book on him not read yet. I'm aware his theology was more monist/pantheist, so interested in diving into how he synthesizes his world view, philosophy and metaphysics :) I see 'creation' and...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    ----------------o Apparently it is intrinsic to life and consciousness itself, that it evolves in consequence to its own unfoldment/activity. Life, energy, consciousness, spirit;....it is all involving and evolving itself within the fabric of creation......the movement of life is on-going :)...

    "There is No God Higher than the Truth" -- Gandhi

    There is at least one or MORE commands from Yahweh (or 'Lord God' or whoever) to committ genocide, unless you admit that was just men claiming that (human invention, assumption, mythology), which puts the Bible in question as to how much it can be trusted, much less if its actually the 'word' of...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    All written script must be read 'literally', but it may be 'translated' and 'interpreted' in different ways :) The Eden story has symbology on many levels as does any story, and even personalities are 'figurative' so to speak, even our own personalities are creative entities subject to...

    Ask the Staff Anything About RF

    Hi Staff, Enjoying the forum and hope to post more,.....would you say this forum is here for the long haul? Just curious since i was a member of a few small forums where some drama ensued and some of my old threads and posts got deleted,.....I suspect from the history of this forum and its...

    "There is No God Higher than the Truth" -- Gandhi

    But Yahweh was also a war-god and commanded genocide and other atrocities didnt he? so wasnt always about 'justice' except by his own terms and prescriptions. Sure, there is a universal sense of justice or righteousness granted but more honed and defined in the prophets, but Yahweh as far as a...

    What does God want from you?

    We are all a chip off the old block, 'God' being the original essence from which all springs,....so as individual rays from that Great Central SUN....we have no choice but to be what 'God' is.....sharing the same nature, but with the added possibility of creative potential to co-create with...

    "There is No God Higher than the Truth" -- Gandhi

    It all depends on perspective, context and relationships within the subject at hand :) - What is One and All includes the whole of existence, as that which Alone is absolute, omnipresent, universal, infinite, eternal, ultimate and so on.....granting the traditional assumptions of 'God' and his...

    "There is No God Higher than the Truth" -- Gandhi

    :) Depends on how we define and contextualize terms/things/subjects. On the greater metaphysical level, we can entertain more ethereal monistic templates of what 'God', 'energy', 'life', 'light', 'spirit' are,....also 'personal' or 'non-personal' aspects of 'God'. The greater reality of all...

    A Course In Miracles by Helen Schucman

    The basic idea or principles in the Course are not necessarily 'wrong' unless you have a criteria or standard by which to judge such :) Its offering of a better concept of 'atonement' and universal 'forgiveness' provides a better understanding and approach to love IMO, so as a newer revelation...

    "There is No God Higher than the Truth" -- Gandhi

    As noted earlier, this idea is more from the eastern vedic traditions, as well as Sikhism,.....where 'God' is the one absolute universal reality,...the ultimate 'truth', the one essential from which all else derives. As in Theosophy, 'there is no religion higher than truth',...refers back to...

    Some new age beliefs that I believe is wrong

    In order for 'God' to be 'God' by classical traditional definition, then 'God' must be the full sum and perfection of all divine attributes, so that naturally includes governing life with love and wisdom, maintaining a system of perfect justice/recompense (the karmic law of compensation).....no...
