    this reminds me of the opening of A Course in Miracles: "The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite."

    What is God?: Theists

    What is God?: The Story

    The word that shattered In 2023, Pew found that 80 percent of Americans say they believe in God. When asked what they mean, responses fractured so completely the researchers abandoned their coding scheme. Some meant a person who listens. Some meant a force....

    If machines do most of the work, what do the humans do?: Virtue and vocation

    The Bible did not come from a god

    The Bible did not come from a god.  Rather, a description of the Christian god came  from the Bible.  The Bible came first.  Without the Bible, there is no definition or description of the Christian god....

    The Born Again Gospel .  The Born Again Gospel

    You are a created being, made in the image of a Holy God but, no one on Earth can be Holy so, God sent His Only Begotten Son Jesus, to take the punishment for our sins by dying on a cross. He was placed in a tomb and on the third day His God and Father raised Him from the dead and exalted Him to the Throne of Heaven. God has made this Jesus, whom they crucified, both Lord and Christ. And, Jesus: The Son of Man, will return to take us to be with Him forever and ever. Amen. 

    Romans 10:8-13

    ...“The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” And, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified And, with your mouth you confess and are saved.

    It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between a Jew or a gentile, for the same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who "call" on Him, for, “Everyone who "calls" on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

    John 3:3

     Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you! No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

    Becoming Born Again is 'known' by The Initial Evidence of The Holy Spirit. 

    1st Corinthians 12:3

     Therefore, I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

    1st Corinthians 14:1 

    Earnestly pursue "love", (Galatian 5:22,23 The Fruit of the Holy Spirit is Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.) and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, (1st Corinthians 12-14) and especially that you might prophesy.

    Luke 11:13 Therefore if you, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit, to those who 'ask' Him."

    Here is an example prayer.

    Almighty God and Father, I believe You raised your Son Jesus from the dead. Please forgive me of all my sins and fill me with Your Holy Spirit so I can bear good fruit and do Your will, in the name of Jesus my Lord and Christ. Amen. Thank you Father God, Thank you Lord Jesus. Halleluyah!

    Matthew 6:8-15 

    Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness." 2nd Timothy 2:19

    Engage or Enrage. It is likely that we have family members or friends that we differ with greatly when it comes to politics, healthcare, etc.  I am no different.  When the inevitable hot topic arises, do you recommend flight or fight, engage or enrage?  How do you respond when this occurs?

    Elohimist•...
    Yes. Beliefs are written into the law of the land: do not steal, do not kill, do not bear false witness... But, what has happened is there are many people who start a church that were never sent to start a church and they come up with their own interpretations of The Scriptures...

    👽 aliens and angels 👼 . We’re driving on 620, passing one of those statue places that has a bunch of big metal dinosaurs, big green alien statues, flamingo statues, etc.

    Me, to Jack: What do you see buddy?
    Jack: A flamingo!
    Jordan: Yes! What else?
    Jack: An angel
    Jordan: Yeah, where?
    Jack: The big green thing

    What do you make of this?


    I’m starting to take this idea pretty seriously: the universe is filled with subtle energy beings that have some overlap with our realm, and some not.

    One of the strange factors about the beings/energy is that it can’t be perceived directly in the concrete realm through our normal five senses, so we have unique APIs that translate these beings into a cultural context that makes sense. So the same being could be seen as an angle, or a hindu god, or an alien, or simply energy depending on the person. My guess is this helps account for plant teachers, DMT entities, UAPs, etc.; although I realize this is extremely hand wavey on the details.

    It's hard to take this comment too seriously. How do you "teach" what a "real" ANYTHING is that hasn't been proven to even exist in over 2000 years? Let alone claim to know what they definitely are not. This sounds more like brainwashing and a coherced belief system....

    Howdy back to you! I appreciate you reaching out. I’ll admit, your phrasing caught my attention—I’m more used to hearing people say they are a follower, so the word "consider" was a new one for my ears! I’m always interested in meeting others on the path....

    truth.....a relationship

    It seems to me that the discussion frequently engaged in by humanity regarding truth (what it is or isn't) is a discussion long obsessed over throughout history.  Of late, I have been pondering the thought shared from the Judeo-Christian worldview that truth has a source....

    do you think the "bliss attractor" would have been prayer/jesus instead of meditation/nonduality if the staff were all based in georgia or something?
