Do you have a religious mind?

[look3467]

look3467Hebrews 8
10)But this is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 110 And they shall not teach, each one his fellow citizen and kinsman, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know me, from least to greatest.So now that we all know about the God Look 3467 sholdn't you obey God,s wish and try to realize that we all know Him ....".from the least to the greatest".

The point there china, is that that "after those days" meaning after the cross, the laws will be written in the hearts instead of clay tablets, by the Holy Spirit.

It also means that after we dead and gone, we shall know who He really was when we meet Him face to face, whether rich or poor, believer on unbeliever.

The problem with that is that we would have to wait till death to see Jesus, while we could see Jesus now today!

Obeying the two greatest commandments is what causes people to see Jesus while yet in the skin. (Flesh)

The temple (not made with hands) is where the church of God is! That temple is our bodies, and the heart of our being.1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

We carry that temple within ourselves, being that we are born of God!

I know and understand the salvation plan of God for all mankind. What mankind does not know is that salvation is available here and now, as a benefit from heaven to us as still being sinners.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

In other words, Christ took care of the spiritual death part for us so as we may not any more be separated from God through the formation of the flesh.

So, it behooves us to declare this good news as a declaration only, not a means of condemnation as most churches do today.

The Good news is for everybody to benefit from, the question is will they?

Because of the lustful desires of the human flesh, that bit of good news has been clouded over with religious dogmas.

The human desire to live by the laws have harden the hearts back to stone tablets. Thus, the condemnations existing amongst even the very religious.

Take for example: The padre and I. We both believe in Jesus as our Savior. Would it not you think that we should be in agreement of that fact and thereby be as brothers in unity?

But instead I am condemned as not knowing Christ, not reading my bible and not being saved because I do not belong to the Catholic Church.

I in turn respect his beliefs, and the Catholic church and consider them my brothers and sisters, of which I am instructed to love by the second commandment.

My intent here is not to convert anybody, but to declare the love of Christ as the good news and declaring it with my attitude in word to signify the love of Christ in me for all readers of my posts.

There are some who are well versed in the bible truths and many who are not. They should all be seeking deeper truths as a matter of adoration for the creator and the giver of life.

This world will not change a bit towards peace, until the hearts of mankind are won to God.

That is the new creation spoken about. But individually, yes, we become new creatures upon being born again this time of God as sons of God, where the as sons of Adam, die.(Body)

Have I found a friend in Jesus?

Look, Look3467 that mystic stuff of yours isn't Christian anymore than cars are all fords, it's old stuff worked out in the mouths of caves in close proximity to the fire while gazing at the moon and the sun and the stars.When jesus was just a twinkle in gods eye.:wave:

I confess that this mystic stuff as you describe it is here and now real to me. For I have experienced(Tasted) the presence of the love of God and can declare it with strong conviction.

What other purpose would I have to gain? I seek no money, no church, no formation of any religious congregation. Just to declare the love of Christ to a lost world.

A lost world simply means not finding the pearl of great price.Mat 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Meaning that when he found God, the world meant nothing to him, for he forsook all to attain that wonderful price: Salvation.

That is a sign of a true believer, one that this world goods matter nothing and where the heavenly is our hope of glory.

Therefore, love God and thy neighbor. That's it!!!

But first, God must be present in us as love. For the non-believer, Yes, it is possible to love without God.

Mat 7:11 If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
Luk 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?

How much more than does the Father from Heaven give good Spirit to them that ask Him?

I'd say the kind that can not be found on earth, but in heaven alone, and is given if we ask.

Thanks for the explanation 3467 , it's great that you are aware of what you belive .

 

[darkbeaver]

Look 3467 are you making room for us? If so I think that's a correct thing to do.:wave:

 

[look3467]

Look 3467 are you making room for us? If so I think that's a correct thing to do.:wave:

I make room for no one, only Jesus can. Each soul who is born from above gets to enjoy the benefits of His kingdom.
I can only declare what He has given me to understand.

And yes, there is room for all of us. Wouldn't it be nice to know it now rather than at our departure from this earth?

Just imagine , what peace, what joy,and what contentment we could enjoy in the midst of wars, political upheavals, and general unrest in the world?

To know that we are secure in Him, puts our souls to rest, and come what may, we know we are covered should we die.

Therefore lets live as though we're already there , but just awaiting our time, and making the best we can to of that time to help others .

Thank you AJ, for realizing that fact, as some religious people "won't", as there are many forms
of "love", religious love, being only "one".

I only agreed with "what " you said, then thanked you for that. Let it rest.
I have been married for 48 years, had 4 daughters, 7 gandchildren, and YES, I can definitely say that
I do comprehend the meaning of the word, but not "religious" love, and not love for a god, the word
and act of love does not belong to the religious only, it belongs to "all" of us.

I have a mixture of feelings in my, "not" so religious mind. I had a thorough catholic early education,
and religious experience, and, even though I have since walked away from the "belief" in any god, I
still have the knowledge of the catholic early upbringing and schooling, which I think has been very
beneficial.
Most young people I hear talking about religion, (who don't believe) don't have a "clue' what religion
is all about, and they make up their own "version", which in most part is inaccurate.
I encouraged my children to "learn" all about religion so they could make an "intelligent" decision re:
their own direction they would take regarding, their own religious/non religious lives.
I like the discipline of religion, I like the community, as they help and support each other, and I miss
that, but can't join in, as it would be a "hoax" on my part, as I would just be "playing".
I even miss doing the rosary, for as a child I loved my rosary, and used to go to Vancouver on the bus,
by myself, just to go to the catholic store, to check them out, and pick out a new one.
That store was close to the Holy Rosary Cathedral, and I would walk in to that church, and become
awe struck by the "feelings" that came over me while in there. As a child, everything about the
catholic experience was kind of intimidating, for as a little girl, it was all so "above" me, and I
obeyed everything about it.
I am very conservative,(not politics), which fits into a religious life, but I don't believe in a god, so
I am somewhere inbetween. Can't completely walk away, but can't join in either.

The answer for me is a resounding "no, I don't have a religious mind". For my wife, the answer is "undecided, but unlikely". Same for kid #1. Kid #2 is like me. No religiosity in her at all.

Oops, sorry China, I read the body of the post, and not the name, won't do that again, it just seemed
to fit with A.J. and my posts back and forth, he can be very confusing at times, but he has a good
heart, and gets trashed a lot.

Thanks for the love

You've got an in with the man 3467, next time you're talking to him run the idea of the rest of us by him. Let us know what the plan is will you. thanks:wave:

 

[talloola]

talloola ......Love is everywhere ; just pray the Rosary and meditate on the Holy Mysteries or anything that is good .

I think I will, as it will be a very calming experience. My husband will think I have lost my marbles,
I will have to explain to him, that it will bring back soft, secure, childlike memories that are comforting.
He will understand. I look forward to going to "that" store again to purchase a rosary. But I have
to be honest, and admit, that I will just be playing, and remembering.
I will do it, for "anything" that is good, I like that.

Sorry Sanctus, if that is desrespectful.

Not sure why this question is in the christian forum.

I have a religious mind. I believe in a god. Wether that god is a currently unkown physical phenomena that caused the universe that we live in to develop as it has or an old white dude in flowing robes with a long white beard who snapped his fingers and said "Let there be light". I have no idea. It may not even be possible to no that.

It is the journey not the destination that is the fun part usually.

 

[look3467]

Hey, talloola…….

Isn’t it wonderful to be forgiving? (Calling me china?) No big deal to me but, you know, that gives me an opportunity to say the following:

You know, no body in this world can control our power to forgive! I mean this world can throw everything but the kitchen sink at us, but they could never stop our forgiving power over them.
Take Jesus for instance, He could with His power call down fire from heaven and consumed all His perpetrators.
If you have seen the movie “Passion of the Christ” by Mel Gibson, you would have seen a glimpse of Christ’s enduring the whip lashing to the point where it was like if He was asking them, “come on, take out all your bent up hate and frustrations on me, I want every bit of it”

Mankind’s wrath is anger against God! An anger that resides in every human being that has to be tamed. Why?
Because mankind was: subjected to this hellish environment without one’s consent as like blaming God for this miserable existence.

So, unless we come to terms with that anger with understanding, we shall continue to hold resentments against God.

So with God, it is a very understandable behavior therefore He is very forgiving.

His answer is extrapolated by His words and actions as the suffering Christ.

He will take the anger away from Mankind upon Himself, nail it to the cross and grant forgiveness as a way of God showing us that He loves us dearly.

So every soul that crucifies Christ (Meaning places ones own sins on Him) will get forgiveness and be accepted into the beloved and no longer hold any anger towards God for our sufferings.

The world (Meaning all none believers) can not understand or comprehend that, until they can take out their anger on Christ.

I’m not sure if you can see what I am trying to say. What I am saying is of no ill will to unbelievers, but instead as a call of compassion as God sees it.

Can you understand why I have compassion for all folk, believer and unbeliever alike?

I get hacked from both sides, yet I can sustain the blows with forgiveness. That, they can not touch!
It is my choice to be forgiving. So, I require it from no one!
God only changes hearts, I can only forgive!
I am grateful for your honesty in how you feel. That only shows your heart is speaking and not your mind.
You are a mother, and a mother knows what love is, for she yearns to give it from her heart to her children.
And the children, many times, misinterpret it. If they only knew!
