but you haven't spend very much time articulating what you believe so how about doing that.
i believe my beliefs are mostly impediments to my connection with everyone else on the planet, and i note that satan's belief in Jesus will not avail him either. As my neighbor, your beliefs impact me not a whit; i could care less what you believe. it is your works that i will judge, because it is those that i will be impacted by.
When do you confess, how many times do you confess.
certainly not twice.
If you are not caught up in your confessions are you going to the hot place, etc.
ha well if i am not confessing the moment my shortcoming is revealed to me, like a little kid does, then i am going to get "roasted" by my peers anyway, right. So iow "caught up in my confessions," by which i assume you mean "all caught up" and not "unduly enmeshed in," becomes a mechanism that does not even apply, see. "All caught up with your confessions?" is a religious thing that has no application in the kingdom iow; it is a beloved ritual that is a counterfeit of the real thing.
I know nothing about what you believe.
oh, i believe that Eve had sex with a Neandertal, even though we observe that animals pretty strictly mate with only their own specific kind, but we all know how freaky monkeys are, so anyway Eve's innocent lust overcame her natural inhibitions--so prevalent that we might call them "commands"--about having sex with another species, and the resulting hybrid gave us forebrains, or free will, just like God knew would happen, and i guess i could go on for the rest of the day about my beliefs lol, and i can certainly back them up with Scripture of course, although we could prolly spend the rest of the day debating that just on this one belief, right.
Notice how "beliefs"--the way we are defining them at present--are unerringly, always, always, always, about something that happened yesterday, or will happen tomorrow? How relevant is the "belief" that i outlined just now going to be to you? Prolly if anything it serves more to divide us than bring us together, right?
So in a way that i guess i am just not going to be able to make much clearer right now than that above, see how beliefs are irrelevant, and likely even do more harm than good? So then, my beliefs now are really "i don't know," and it should be stressed there that i am not looking to know any longer, because i used to know, and it did not serve me.
Now if you believe that Eve ate an apple from a literal tree and surprised God, and that Adam and Eve did not have navels, too, well now i can agree, see, because i do not know, whereas before i would have "had to" correct you prolly lol, and when i was done neither of us still would have
known anything on the matter, except that we now had a wall between us there.
