I was saying we have slightly different perspectives of the same thing. I try to see the Bible from God's (Father to you) perspective, not the Bible's perspective (IMHO, the Bible's perspective is the Son's perspective) or my perspective or any of the author's perspectives. The bible is not from the son's perspective. The Greek scripture's were about the Christ,and Christianity through the "good...

It all depends with which meaning we fill this vague word...And the vaguer the word, the more prone it is to abuse. 'Love', 'God', 'Truth', all these words can be filled with meaning and can be used by people for their own aggrandizement...

It isn't that it matters what others think about us that gets our goat. It is that we all have a thing against rejection. Why? Because we are all part of a whole and that whole is way bigger than any one nation or any religion, it is bigger than all of the generations alive put together. I sort of started figuring it out when I got an autoimmune disease. I thought this is crazy my own antibodies attacking my myelin sheath. Why don't...

You wrote a very important "key " issue here, let's read what you wrote, the "key" is highlighted... gigi writes: Auras are different than orbs in photographs. I had the opportunity to have my picture taken with a special camera that records the aura in a picture. But, I didn't need to because I already know I have spirit and the spirit in me has given me peace, joy, love, gentleness, kindness, goodness,...

* "Don't sweat the small stuff.........and it's all small stuff."............... *So goes the popular saying!............We look for a way to avoid stress and to avoid the consequences of our actions!............Yet.......when it comes down to it.............we are ultimately responsible for our actions............and everything counts!.......... How about each of us?............Does it really matter what we do as we live...

I responded from the heart with honesty and authenticity to all of your posts. You suggested that I "figure it out" and that is my intent. I appreciate your willingness to step back and allow productive conversations to flow without further disturbance. Romans Chapter 12 says "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual...

Truth rings true in a pure heart. It is in the Bible. It is in ACIM but most miss it even if they are devoted to the Bible, even if they are devoted to ACIM. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see... The great misfortune of Christianity is that it lauds sin as inevitable and purity as arrogant. Then how are they going to be able to grasp truth?

Sorry, I thought your previous post was more of a general statement to the whole board. What would you like to debate about?

I believe this to be wrong treatment of Helen Shucman and her ideas in writing the book. Is she not to have some of the credit? Helen did not take any credit.

Aikawa, where do you live (have you been to Jerusalem?) there is more than enough scientific evidence to prove Jesus arose from the dead {color:#000080}and is living under his own authority {color:#000000} in freedom. Have you {color:#000080}checked to know if there was an earthquake at the time of Jesus's death? {color:#000080}Ai means love. Kawa means river. Is this not true? Is there scientific evidence to prove this is what it means?
