Thank you, Ellen!!
I love to hear stories of how someone has gone though hardships (not that I wish any hardship on anyone) here on earth and have held strong to God. I have often wondered how God could ever accept me after the things I have done. I am so ashamed and will carry them with me to...
I guess I have felt that we are who we are by our spiritual link to God and our acceptance of His ways. Our physical bodies (the scientific self), A combination of neurons, chemicals and the way they influence our psychology. So I guess I feel we only have the two parts.
But, I have given...
With your reply to 'Sun Rise' I think I might be seeing where you are coming from. Let me see if I can put it down as I am seeing it in my mind, but not sure if I am understanding it yet. Let me know if I am going the right way.
You feel that a person can be compelled to think and act a certain...
Sorry that did not come out as I wanted. I will try again to explain. I had a box with God in it with a smaller box with science in it, that is inside the God box.
I feel within God (or spirituality) everything is contained. Science is inside spirituality but science holds everything that is...
I am not sure what you mean by a "False dichotomy", as that could mean so many things. My thoughts would look something like this. Sorry, I am not sure how to draw on here I will give it a try though.

Disclaimer: Anything, I say are my own thoughts, in no way do I want anyone to think I speak or any church, or God,I only speak for myself and my views.
A Christian I feel is anyone who believes in Christ; what He teaches and the way He feels we should relate to God and others. In other words...
I really liked your signature line, and would not mind talking with you as you seem to have a unique view, maybe along the lines I think. However, I see quite a few way a conversation could go, do you have a particular direction in mind?
I found this. I don't know if it is accurate or not, it may not even be current, as it is from Dec 2015.
The one thing we’ve all missed in Syrian conflict
I really don't think it is necessary. Until Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1400's most people did not have many religious texts. It seems like people got along fine before then, and there were more religious people at that time, so no I do not think they are necessary.
I have not made one myself. But I think you click on "Forums" find the appropriate Forum where you want to make the thread, click on it. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Make new Thread".
I have seen it in all denominations, but not all members of the denominations. I do see it in most of the JWs on this forum, and have been quite impressed by Vee (I think she is JW also). Thanks for your support.
Your fellow brothers and sisters have stopped by and I have talked to them. I do not actually say I belong to any Christian faith, just that I am Christian. I was Seventh Day Adventist when young and felt they were to fixated on the law. Not Christs love and acceptance....
Thanks for all the activity on my posts. It isn't much but it really lifts a persons spirits when someone is accepting of what you say. And on here it can get a bit depressing. So thanks from the bottom of my heart.
I will make a response here on proving a god. This will be my last post to this thread on this topic as I feel we are going way off topic to the OP. If you or someone else wants to start a new thread I will join you there when I get time, if you reply to this thread and mention the new thread as...
