How can we get rid of our sinfulness?

[L Gilbert]

dont do any thing wrong , and you will be fine....

That's been my position from the beginning, in order to stop sinning, one should just refuse to sin. Yet, here we are 100+ pages later drooling all this sickeningly sweet crap about how much this Christian god loves everyone (after all the mass murder and destruction that the holey babble speaks of).

 

[L Gilbert]

I didn't interpret her statements as self-righteousness?! I thought she was expressing a sincere point of view.

Matter of perception.

 

[L Gilbert]

If Christ is to re-create the world as in the story of creation, He then must use the same to nullify the first and use it to re-create the new one.

How do you know? Is your god not really all-powerful if it must do this and must do that? Sounds like you've placed limits on your god.

 

[L Gilbert]

Give yourself a break Gilbert. Go cut more wood. Thats where you find peace. I prefer you have peace verses vexation of spirit.

Peace>>>AJ:love9:

Is that an order? A command?
BTW, I'm not vexed. You just project your vexation onto me. I'm getting a kick out of this babble of yours. Mostly because I think you're just as self-contradictory, backtracking, excusing, vague as the holey book is.

 

[L Gilbert]

What are you doing on this thread my friend Gilbert? Sticking your nose in other peoples beliefs?
As if yours where the true non-belief?

I say that with kindness Gilbert, love is the only thing that transcends all barriers.

Peace>>>AJ:love9:

What am I doing here? I'm having fun. Perhaps it appears to you that I'm sticking my nose in this business, but this is a public forum, in case you forgot. Forums are for discussion and sharing of opinions and information. Shouldn't get so uptight with me, Look.

BTW, love isn't the only thing that is barrier free. Imagination is another.

 

[L Gilbert]

Can anybody give me a number for love? And not a telephone number please!

Peace>>>AJ:love9:

1 ÷ 0.

I wonder what it's like being so arrogant as to claim to be a direct route to the Christian god/son/spook.
I've said this deities various names several times and nothing happened. Whatta pantload.

What's it like???

Humbling.....

 

[L Gilbert]

Nope. It's like wasting my words.

 

[look3467]

No, I don't believe there's any such thing. I meant you feel you are. You're demonstrating something alright, and it's mostly very positive, a reflection of what I assume is a very gentle and loving personality (yours I mean, not god's), but that's all it is. You credit god for it; I think the credit is yours.

If it were not God in me demostrating love and kindness, I would otherwise, not give you the time of day!

I'm not getting up tight with you, just wanted you to understand that by the same token you meade out, that shall you also be mead.

Well all have the right to post here as given by the owner of this forum.

"Because the bible tells me so", is the words to a childs song. "Jesus loves me this I know...for the bible tells me so".

That's how I know.

[look3467]

Have I not demonstrated love towards you regardless of what you believe? If you can answer in the affirmative, then you will recant what you said.

If not, then I have failed to touch you with my heart.

I can only try, the rest is up to God.

Peace>>>AJ:love9:

Why would I recant what I said when you are the one I agreed with?
Specifically, you said your god is no respecter of people. I said that's an understatement. If you want me to recant, you had better recant first.[/quote]

I'm runing to recant first. Thanks, Gilbert, I misunderstood.

I am tired its 4 AM , going to bed

 

[look3467]

Balls. If you didn't have any pride you wouldn't have claimed to be a path to your god/son/spook.

Balls? Okay, if you want to put it that way. A cup full of something cannot be used for something else until it is emptied out first.
If pride fills my cup, then there would be no room for nothing else.

Mead? I only tried it once. I found it a bit sweet, but I find other drinks sweet, too.
As far as sticking my nose in others' business is concerned, a public forum is public business. So your implication that I am sticking my nose in someone's business here is misguided.

"Because the bible tells me so", is the words to a childs song. "Jesus loves me this I know...for the bible tells me so".

Oh, I see. So now you choke up with the quotations. When you could use one, you don't post one. :roll: Where in the bible does it say that your god must do anything?

Maybe it doesn't fill your cup. Maybe it's only half full, I don't know. But as far as I've been able to determine from the posts in here, your Jesus is the only path to your god, so how can you claim to be a path to your god?

Boys, boys.....Is this a meeting of common ground or are you argueing over preference???

The Teachings of Bhudda tell us there are several paths that you can walk to Enlightenment....

Confused? refer to the Two manuals of Teaching, each has its own particular flavour, but search for the Middle Way in all things..

Any confusion in your minds, don't be afraid or embarrased to ask... many People may just have the same question...

Yeah, I'm confused. What has this to do with what Look and I were conversing about?
