The end of the world .
No such thing. The meek shall inherit the earth. Do you mean the end of the age. Same Greek word can be interpeted world or age.
No you gave me no answer nor did you even try to refute what I said. You just called it foolishness or whatever.
Point is you never see the truth with your human logic, God is a spirit not a human brain

Dhoo as if i didn't know........maybe you just cannot understand me ?.
No I do not understand you? But I do know: God is a balanced God; both good and evil God totally controls; there is nothing that happens outside His Sovereign will.
In my Fathers house are many mansions; or Greek abiding place.
All people have a different abiding place. My place is not to condemn that abiding place but to seek, ask and knock to know God in a deeper abiding place that I am now. yes this is a place of debate where the rubber meets the road.
Yes there is false teachings out there, we all know in part, see in part. If Jesus was upset with anyone in his day it was not the sinners; it was the religious.
Here we have a chance to reach out beyond where God has placed us and to speak of the deep things of God with fellow believers from hundreds, maybe thousands of other beliefs who in times past were limited by the little box know as their religion what ever that might be.
That is why I like this forum

You are free to talk about anything you like about your beliefs of god, I myself don't hold any beliefs of god or the scriptures, and this is a good example of talking together about what we believe or not believe in.
You have said what you want to and that doesn't upset me one bit, now i say to you i don't believe in what you believe, like you i have discovered my own truth from my inner Being, god, or whatever you want to call it.
Its only when one believe his or her belief is right and all else is wrong, this is pure arrogance, but I must say that you have controlled yourself rather well.
You do not upset me either, you seem like a person who is seeking truth and all you have gotten is a lump of coal. Far too many lump of coals out there.
I have been on a lot of these forum and have been banned from a lot of them because of my belief does not line up with their religious agenda. because lie you my trtuh is with in.
God dwells with in
Its among us! Its in our midst!
The kingdom of God is within you!
The Spirit of the Son is within you! God dwelleth in you!
The Holy Ghost is within you!
The word of Christ dwelleth richly in you!
The anointing abideth within you!
The voice of the Son of God is heard from within!
But you are missing so much if only you take that inner peace and apply it to the scriptures instead of reading the Bible like a religious book.
Here is a verse you would like it goes along with what you just said.
Let the Peace of God Rule-
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts........
Colossians 3:1...peace, the umpire and ruling principle
The word rule used in our text comes from the Greek word, brabeuo, meaning TO ACT AS JUDGE OR PRESIDENT. Let PEACE be the ruling principle to decide and settle with finality all arising issues. We give three other translations to help bear out the scope of meaning:
Let the ruling principle in your hearts be Christs peace, for in becoming members of one body you have been called under its sway. (Goodspeed).
Let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts....(Weymouth). (act as umpire continually) in your hearts - deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds - , (Amplified).
The word PEACE is defined as: a state of tranquility or quiet; freedom from fears, agitating passions, etc. including freedom from moral confict. What conflict we endure trying to decide if the matter be right, or wrong; not necessarily if it be sinful or holy, but to decide which are the right issues, the right step, or the right stand to take. And so for all of this, what should become the ruling factor in making decisons? LET THE PEACE OF GOD ACT AS THE UMPIRE.
The Bible does not say, let revelation be the umpire, to rule in our hearts. This was a thought to consider. Surely a progressive revelation is needed today; in fact it is an imperative necessity. But how often do men cry to God for revelation to decide, settle issues, and if there be no revelation, then they are at a loss to know what to do. Or again, many will seek for a prophecy to answer the question. But God does not always speak by just the manner we demand, nor is it wise to run across our land seeking prophecies.

Hi Benoni, you see you haven,t read the things i have said throughout this thread either, I have already said that I found the truth within, this inner truth doesn't need to be discovered by the words of scripture, in fact in a lot of cases the scripture will keep you away from ever realizing that which is within.
You are too involved in scripture, that's great for you, but not for me and many others. Scripture is someone else's words, there not mine, you have to discover the truth within yourself, you then can talk to others from your own inn scripture, at least it yours and not second-hand.
I have had a self realization and that is what we all need to do, our self, our inner self is all we need to discover. I'm not concerned with Jesus, the Buddha, Krishna or whoever, they supposedly lived their life and were supposedly enlightened, but again their not me, I don't want what they have i want what i have, that is within.

Thanks and I have no problem where god or Consciousness has placed you, and after all were all in the same boat, we cannot be anywhere else.

Christ is beyond Christianity, Buddha is beyond Buddhism, Krishna is beyond Hinduism, all ism only keep you away from ever discovering your true SELF. Your true self isn't anything mysterious, its simply pure Essence, pure Consciousness, everything is connected in this Source, things arise and things disappear back to the Source, there is no need to follow a religion to realize this. Religions are only there because one cannot understand this truth, and so many stories are made about it, and each and every culture has its own story, but that is all they are, stories.

Christ is a title not a man, the same as the Buddha, its a title, no one owns this title, its free to all who want to discover their inner true SELF.
Yes Christ is a title which means anointed, Jesus is also the Word of God, He is also the revelation of God for man

1) What Christ taught and sought to inspire in people is/was Christ Consciousness, which is Love Consciousness.
Unfortunately Orthodoxy usurped the teachings and corrupted them into Churchianity.
2) The spiritual path is like ascending a mountain track. It's hard, it's steep, it's treacherous and don't expect anyone to carry you...
Going back to the mountain analogy again. As you ascend higher the view changes. Rather its the same view, but you're just seeing it from a different viewpoint.
So it is with truth. As you grow in wisdom and love, you see things and understand things from a different perspective.
Truth is constant and eternal. Your 'truth' of today may not be your 'truth' of tomorrow....
3) I agree with your observation, dear Robert. The spiritual journey is a voyage of discovery. Self-discovery.
'Thou art the voyager, navigating by the light of thine own consciousness'
I LIKE THAT
2 Peter 1:12
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
Present truth; in other words as the truth is revealed you move with it. When a truth is reveled to you receive it and walk not with mans traditions; but what the spirit of truth reveals. Somethings are beyond what the human mind can receive; that is why God sent His spirit to lead and guide us in all truth. The anointing or the Christ is with in you; if you against the anointing; you are anti Christ.
