Nah I prefer to have compassion for humanity rather than condemnation for it
You know, like a Christian instead of Satan
Self insists on being in the place of priority/ importance......and insecurity is its result.
Speak for yourself. I did not murder Jesus.Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?
When we believe that God required Jesus to be killed to forgive our sins we set ourselves up for a fear based view/ interaction of and with God.
Jesus was murdered by us because we could not tolerate his revelation of God. We still do it by insisting our focus is on ourselves. Self insists on being in the place of priority/ importance......and insecurity is its result.
Jim, do you really know yourself?Speak for yourself. I did not murder Jesus.
No. Perhaps you can enlighten me!Jim, do you really know yourself?
Hell exists for people
I love that guy.First off, we are all going to hell in someone's eyes.
Honestly to me the whole idea of heaven and hell is like the carrot and the stick. I cannot wrap my mind around how one could consider themselves to be 'saved without them looking down on anyone else who doesn't believe what they believe. Heaven and hell are two sides of the same coin. There really is no heaven or hell, there is just the coin. I think God is a lot like that, just what is. Unconditional love/freedom. All that truly is, is the here and now. Whether I'm on earth, Mars, heaven, or hell, I am always just 'here'.
Great post, thanks!God agrees with you. That's why God came to us in the form of Jesus, in order to take away ALL of the sins of the world in order to save ALL people!
