Because you (having good sense or judgment) desire to be in peace with God, don’t you!

I am already at peace with my existance...and I share that peace with all who find me peacefully.

“Do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

I am fully aware of this gift I've been given...and have no need to repent for accepting it respectfully.

But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. ”(Romans 2:4-5)

I will stand on this "day of judgment" with a calm heart, as I do every day, knowing I have done the best I can with what I have been given. I have no need to prepare for any day by joining a club whose members must feel unworthy to belong and fear "wrath" as a consequence of living.

Tomasz and Stinkie,
Re. that link to …creerescrear…:

Naïve people can be hypnotized (intoxicated) by that mixture of subtile commercials, New Age truncated ideas, mysticism, pseudo-scientism, etc.
presented by those half-illuminists…

Cornel, just out of curiosity, how old is your estimation of our universe?

cornel

Tom,
you pretend that you are an exception (a 'standard' guy), but

the Scripture mentions, for example this :
"There is no one righteous, not even one" (Romans 3:10)
...or that:
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
or..., or...

God's standard is different than ours..., but, through Jesus (only), we can fulfili its 'requirements'!

Groan! That should be good for another 4 pages.

My thoughts exactly. Believing in alien abduction or in the Rapture ... Pretty much the same thing from where I'm standing.

Also, I see some parallels between paranoid schizophrenia and believing in God. He can see me. Everywhere. All the time.

I have to be a foolish person if I 'use' a religion which cannot be verified, which doesn’t change my life, a religion without hope, without salvation...,etc.
Except one, all religions are dead.
There is only one Living God, who is over all and through all and in all.

There is no ‘place’ for extra 'veritable' gods!

David Icke:

Wait a minute! There is something wrong. My estimations are rather in the range of 4-5%.
Just kidding.

Red Elk and Gregg Braden

I say that what Gregg has seen can be possible in 100% if one believes. I don't have such a faith.
Regarding Red Elk, I think all these dexterities are possible. I understand the going into past/future as a spiritual trip not in a body. I haven't heard of becoming invisible in other cultures, but probably can be achieved.

Good stuff, Tomasz, thanks!

Cornel, have you not learned that Stinkie loves irony.

@unknownuser said:

Stinkie has presented just some spicy extracts from their thinking. My point is that they are going in one direction. They are saying that at the spiritual level we are all equal, we are all One, brothers and sisters. One was advertising copywriter, one is Native American, one is a scientist and one a television presenter. They all, as you say can be toxic, but everything will become more clear with the time.

You won't bring anyone closer to Our Father if you will stuff people with quotations they are not ready to take to a heart. It looks like you know a recipe, but have never had a baked cake.

Let me guess, the one that initiated the crusades, implemented the inquisition?

verified?, you are kidding right?

Probably comes in handy when dodging them pesky Reptilians!

I have a suspicion Cornel does not 'do' irony. High-five, Cornel! C'mon!

cornel

Pete, be perplex or not,
I'm not "kidding"!

Stinkie

Hmmmmm ... So christianity can be 'verified'. I guess this means God's existence can be proven. By all means ... go ahead. Obviously, Bible quotations won't quite suffice.

Also, if I may, a thought ... Doens't the intrinsic value of 'believing' lie in the amount of suspension of disbelief you're willing to invest? If chistianity can be 'verified', if God's existence can indeed be proven, where does that leave the suspension of disbelief? You wouldn't need any. You'd just be siding with the team that cannot lose. Wouldn't that equal opportunism?

Pete, for such subject, re. Ages and Dispensations, you have to open a new topic!

We are now into a ‘parenthesis’ of the Eternity, name ‘The Time’, which started from point “Alpha” (so called ‘Creative Ages’) and will finish to point “Omega” (so called ‘Ages of the Ages’) .
As main ‘parts’, the Time, inbetween Eternities, covers 3 distinctive periods: Antedeluvian Age, the Present Age and Age of Ages.

Now, each category has precise subdivisions, and so on…
We need Time and Space (a topic) for estimation of our Universe!

Cornel

Stinkie

Dang, when I saw you posted an answer, I'd thought you'd come up with 'verification'!

@unknownuser said:

No, we don't. It's a simple enough question, it doesn't need a thread of its own.

Tom, you pretend that you are an exception..."There is no one righteous, not even one" (Romans 3:10)

I have no pretense of being an exception and made no claim of righteousness: I am merely one human being among many, as I am for better or worse...and I find such catagorizations devisive, such attitudes offensive, such statements insulting.

@unknownuser said:

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)

I am not a racist because I am white, I am not a bigot because I am male, nor am I a sinner because I am born. If you wish to separate yourself from the universe in this manner, you are free to do so...I choose not.

@unknownuser said:

God's standard is different than ours..., but, through Jesus (only), we can fulfili its 'requirements'!

So you believe, I guess, I don't. I will "make peace with maker" in my own way...and it is not for you to judge me nor speak of my judgement.

Stinkie

Amigo, stop dodging the question - please.

Cornell, another simple question. Is there, in your mind, any doubt, any at all, that there indeed is a God?

cornel

Stinke, what is your "simple" response to that "simple enough question" ?!
According to your estimation, what's the age of our Universe?

My "we need Time and Space (a topic)" means that we have to explain a 'trumpeted' number...!

cornel

I have no doubt, "amigo"!
