    No one can serve two masters

    Do you actually read my posts? Go back and re-read them in order. I think it's pretty obvious you are not understanding the posts.

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    While I certainly embrace the goal of balance I see that as the key to opening ourselves up to great depths and fulfillment. That balance is really the same as removing obstacles in our lives that block the free flow of more life giving energies. Once those are cleared, once a balance is...

    I'm always a little mystified by demands that claims of experiences need to be demonstrated as true? How does someone demonstrate they had an experience, other than to tell you about it? Now to answer my own question how I would answer it, is that if that experience were as fantastic as they...

    Not to anyone who has any control over their impulses. Have you never heard of the concept of self-discipline? What do you suppose that is about? Or do you just run off with your impulses unchecked, and literally have no idea what it means to have wisdom in your choices and actions? I'll assume...

    Perhaps one day you will become aware of this.

    But you were when you said, "You are only serving yourself if you serve God because it is ultimately you that decides what God is or isn't." It should have made sense to you based on what you just said. I'll ask you this though, do you believe you have a higher self and a lower self?

    In a sense this is true, and in a sense it isn't. It's true in the sense that God represents our higher self, the angles of our better nature. But we also have the selfish, self-destructive side of ourselves that when we follow that it leads us to unfavorable outcomes. So it depends which of...

    Ultimately no. If you serve no one but yourself, you are still serving a master who happens to be yourself.

    When I'm using that term for the most part, the context generally means it in this dictionary definition: "being beyond ordinary or common experience, thought, or belief; supernatural." Finding balance is correcting things on a horizontal plane, whereas transcending is a vertical move to a new...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    That's too funny, and perfectly true. However, I think they'd only be able to manage cutting off one thumb in an effort to deny their family heritage. They wouldn't be able to hold the knife in the "non-ape" hand anymore in order to make their remaining "ape" hand ape-free. So they'd just be...

    Says you. :) No, I know that Bible quite well. I just happen to understand it in ways that you aren't able to hear or see where you are at with everything. I don't? I'll bet I've been a student of it longer than you. Considering what I've seen of your hermeneutics, I'd say it's really more just...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    Would you ever see a cow as an atheist though? Would you ever say that perch you caught while fishing is an atheist? My whole point is, that label seems to only have any meaning whatsoever applied to those who have actually thought about the question of God and said of themselves, "I don't...

    That's all we can ask. Keep your ears and your eyes open, and your mouth shut, and you might be amazed at what you can see and hear. "Let those who have ears to hear, hear."

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    While the information you were being presented was skewed, clearly you were aware that there was a conflict between what they believed and what the scientific world was saying? Didn't they openly reject the teachings of science to you and openly tell you their version of creation as the real...

    What you are not understanding here is that reason and logic within the context of a certain system of thought may be perfectly rational. They may follow all the rules of logic and evidence and come to sound conclusions, and be absolutely wrong in the end. Why? Because of context. I recall this...

    Depends on what you mean by authentic. Are they actually raging? Sure. But I make a distinction between that and what is considered authentic emotions. I see them as symptomatic of an emotional dysfunction, and not their authentic selves. Is that truely who and what they are authentically? Are...

    It's kind of like putting up painted-over traffic signs, and then putting people in jail for not following them.

    So only man is capable of recognizing and revering and worshipping God, in the Bible according to you right? "All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name." Ps. 66:4 "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." Ps...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    Do you not see the similarity in your thinking with that of the Church, insisting the earth was the center of the universe? That is my very point. It's the same idea that sees humanity as the apple of God's eye. It's man's view of himself as God's favorite creation. Nothing suspicious about the...

    Do you also believe the sun revolves around the earth, seeing that we are the center of the universe and all? That is what the church used to believe when they imagined humanity as the center of creation. Why don't you, or do you? If you don't, how does that make you feel? Less special that we...
