| How would you form a new, better organized religion, designed to swallow
up all eternal damnation worship? Consider that most Christians, Muslims and Jews already have the most entertaining organizations, with pomp and ceremony and stage shows that continue to trump each other.
What would you use to build the attraction to a more "Functional Way" that respected and showed respect for some of the outdated religious beliefs of our forefathers and our ancestors, while allowing itself to grow in "Greater Works" from an unfolding into more functional thought?
Healing be unto you and yours and me and mine in
Forgive Affirmed Spirit
godsent2, Jesus said, "Greater works, than these that I do, will they do, who come after me, because I go unto my Father!"
So Jesus has declared his imperfection and who are we to argue with the most worshipped man in history?!
Paul was a follower! He was not it! I have never been even taught to pray to Paul! I do not see his testimony as binding! I prefer to yield to the one whom has been worshipped for the hope he gave for us to do Greater Works, undefined by him at that time!
What greater work could there be today than the shedding of the life of eternal damnation worship? For, after all, is this not the venum verses life, the spiritual terror of all mankind, whose due has not been justifiably undone and whose reign has only served to pit man against man throughout history?
zotta1, Consider this.... if you will and then you so what you want...... come back and review this question from time to time, if you like. While I disagree with your first answer saying hell is some reality, I do have respect for the doctrine that has possibly kept you out of more serious trouble. I give them that.
Hell is defined by the Christians as, "Eternal Separation from God" while God is defined by the Christians as a supreme being who is everywhere and knows everything!
Now doesn't it strike you as odd, that a supreme being, who is everywhere, from the getgo, and knows everything, can ever separate from anything? What logic do you see here?
Now I know your religion taught you that the logic thinking is evil and that it is all a mystery. I hear this all the time. I think it is more a missed story than a mystery.
I want civilization to thrive functionally and in caring spirit. I think we all do.
zotta1, If a human cannot think logically, and if there are collections of people who cannot thing logically and you mix them, what happens? I personally am tired of the chaos from bipolar thinking that extends from the control of the masses through religious teachings of the past. While they were necessary at that time, because humans generally were too busy surviving day to day crisis in childbirth and such and without modern conveniences and industry, I recognize that it is not so fearful any more to be logical about thought that we are capable of working out today.
Consider this.... If Jesus was God, and he knew everything and was perfect, then Jesus knew he was provoking,...tempting his enemies to kill him! This is a sin as I remember! To tempt another to kill is a sin!
Consider this.... If Jesus was God, perfect in all regards, knowing he was tempting them to kill him, he also committed suicide, because he had full control over whether he lived or died!
So we have a bipolar belief system formed about the "perfection" of a man that some say was God, that would have had to essentially make people kill him and basically commit suicide to do it ...because he knew everything....and somehow who is everywhere ....and yet something can separate from him?
How many unexplainables do you want? How much spiritual unexplainable terror do you want ruling the necessity for civil logic in our lives? Does it serve to keep you rich or something in money?
I find this type of belief to be unproductive, causing the lies of dysfunctional thinking that makes for ego driven wars and less attraction to a necessity for man to communicate with one another on a logical plane.
Because this "easy road of eternal damnation worship", that has been in place for hundreds of years, is too much of an easy street for those that benefit from it's permission to rob and pillage the innocent parts of their populations because the abusers can say they are "saved"!
