Tagging on here. Listen to what the governor of Kentucky has to say. http://www.kentuckynewera.com/multimedia/video/news/youtube_c2674705-960f-52ed-b8d8-9d2c34d514e4.html Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

He also showed you a way to live life on Earth. It's that part of his teaching many seem to ignore. Cherry picking the parts you like and ignoring the parts you don't was not likely His intent. As I stated in a quote from Joseph Prince earlier, we are stumbling upward. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

It's not primarily about fear. It's about hope. Without God, you have no hope and you're going to die. Actually I do have hope but I also understand how to interpret things written on paper and I've read the Bible several times and studied it thoroughly. It doesn't hold up and by all historical records Christ was not the Messiah. That doesn't mean his teachings and moral lessons are wrong just that he was not God's son. It doesn't even mean that if you die and see the Hebrew god sitting in the chair that he's going to send you to Hell, it means that none of you have any idea what you're talking about. The morality part is good but the rest of it is superstition. That feeling you have in your gut that you call faith is the same thing someone feels when they're told good news, like when a kid is told they're going to Disneyland. You think you're going because you've been told you're going so you feel good about going but it doesn't change the fact that you have no idea whether you're going. It's also OK that you don't know and don't want to know otherwise, enjoy your time on Earth and Be Excellent. Emphasis mine.

I am surprised Atlanta did not make the top 25. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

According to Oswald Chambers, if Christianity is not a supernatural miracle than it is a sham. I have experienced the former and therefore discount the latter. We, Christians. can only share God's word and our testimonies. It is impossible to adequately debate the supernatural. Many spiritual leaders teach how to live this life on earth. Christ showed us a path for eternal life, if we choose to take it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Tagging on here: The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. [See Calvin] The third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. One of several, maybe the most declared, Christian creeds. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Just this morning during my devotions, I began to see that in the final trimester of fetal development the person is forming a spiritual relationship with God the father. At birth the individual is amazed at its existence and begins to seek understanding of its new environment. Somewhere in the first two years the individual develops ego and "I" becomes selfishly centralized. Some of us remember our spiritual connection and try to regain it. Wait wait wait - you stated very clearly just a few weeks ago that everyone is born sinful and that they have to find God in order to undo that. Now you're reversing that and saying that everyone is born OK and gets sinful in the first couple of years because of this ego thing you bang on about. and you're saying both of these things like it's fact 'because you see it' after thinking about it for a little while. And you wonder why I have issues with your faith? It's inconsistent and entirely made up. You can change your stance as the wind blows to give yourself whatever comfy feeling you like. It's the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card. You take no responsibility for your life, behaviour or actions because you've convinced yourself that 'I believe in Jesus so it'll be fine'. I hope there IS a God and that they judge people based on how they've lived their lives. I think a lot of people who expect otherwise would be in for a very rude awakening. I believe man is born sinful because he will develop self consciousness. His ego will make him the center of his world. It is natural. The natural has to be subverted to the spiritual by choice and by faith. That choice is available to all but only a few desire to take that path. It is the road less traveled. What makes you think that I or any Christian does not take responsibility for our lives? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

There is only the alternative of no connection to God, the creator. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

The human mind can contemplate God or ego. Natural thought gravitates toward ego. Spiritual thought toward God. Trying to contemplate both at the same time will always assume ego is reality.

How would you define 'being in a relationship with God'? Does it involve blind worship and drone-like acceptance? Because if so, see above. Communication in the spirit with the Holy Spirit.

I actually hate these questions because they cause more trouble than provide solutions. Heaven is a destination according to Judeo-Christian faith and belief. Sin is not what you do or don't do per se. It is being out of relationship with God, the Creator of all that is, was and, is to come. That relationship is established through Jesus, the Christ. Does your ego relate to your body and the world? Or, do you surrender your ego and relate to your spirit and God? The path for the latter is to accept Jesus, the Christ, into your heart, receive the Holy Spirit and allow him to guide you. It is a path of stumbling upward.

I heard sound bite this AM. Land stated that Pelosi should be replaced. That does not sound much like a protégé to me. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

From what I hear on the news, Land is a Demopublican. He lines up more with conservative values than with the progressive liberals. He may well be the best choice.

How do you perceive my reaction? You may have me confused with someone else. I believe I have been clear in my position as withholding evaluation until 2020. So you don't believe or agree with any of the things said about Trump in the Raccoon anecdote? I began that post with the qualifier that it was an amusing anecdote.

Now that's a fine dollop of woo-woo. How about conflict will always exist when the other motherfucker refuses to agree?

Truth creates guilt and guilt is denied. Therefore, attack the sensory stimulus that brings the feeling of guilt.
