@The wind. God knows that you know He knows, yet you continue to hide behind your own reflection.

Sorry.

I was not talking about man's spirit, i.e., self-esteem. I was referring to the spirit of God (the innermost being, the living soul) within the human.

You have a poeticus way of showing it.

Same sort of thing happened to me. Many years ago, I moved into a big city, not knowing anybody and living alone. I never had or wanted visitors. I am a hermit of sorts. Anyway, I did not have much money at the time, no TV or radio to distract me. So I bought several second hand text books...

So, I am damned to hell.

So, how do the unbaptized recognize the truth when they hear it? If you say they cannot, then how do they know what an evangelist is talking about? Every human being has at birth received the spirit of God breathed into them (see Genesis 2:7) This spirit of God knows the Truth.

If you did, you would either agree or try to enlighten me.

I was responding to the range, the majority, between 1 and 2, the greys. The turning point between the two is usually when one is sick and tired of being sick and tired of themselves. A point of ego-deflation at depth. Where a person is willing to go to any length to no longer trust their...

Revelation 3:15-16 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! 16. So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!

Missing the point.

1 Corinthians 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. One's self cannot interpret spiritual things, even if they did have the...

The above post is about human standards based on 'self'. It's exactly what Adam and Eve stumbled on. There is no degree of truth, no versions of truth. There is no such thing as a half-truth because it is a deception. Truth is perfect. The standard of achievement is our unconditional faith in...

Okay, I got the clarification now. It's obvious now. Thank you all for your input, guidance, soul searching. It has helped me with my own soul searching for the truth. My soul loves the truth, it is so soul nourishing.

So in other words, we worship in loving the Truth. Spirit is true, loving and faithful. So, to worship in spirit is to worship God in unconditional faith, love, and absolute honesty (truth).

Faith is easy as long as we don't trust the ego. Ego is always needy and wanting. Faith does not work under any conditionality, including wants and needs. It only works unconditionally, accepting whatever God's will is for us. Faith vacates self/ego from our consciousness and invites Truth to...

Don't forget that the ego is part of 'self'. It was created by the mind so it can identify itself, for both the brain and mind cannot be sensed by our senses. So, if we bury the ego, in the hope of never experiencing it again, we will be also burying the 'self'. But we need the 'self' because it...

I appreciate your responses, they get me to search the truth. In doing so, things are getting clearer. Since our innermost being is already at rest with the Truth, why then this need to perform these tasks. It sounds the opposite of the very nature of our innermost being (spirit of God within...

A real human being is true. If that human is not true, then it is unreal, and all its thoughts and actions bear nothing real. It may seem real and true, but has nothing in it. It is distorted or in disharmony with the innermost Being.

My words in blue. Daily prayer and meditation on what we know is true, helps to keep the slate clean from day to day. It helps us to not trust the self, but the spirit of truth within us, the innermost being.
