like i've said christian is to try to be like christ and not to try to be liked by him. what i know of him, he doesn't care what people think either, nor do his 'rents (parents), all those judgments are human imposed and as neale donald walsch wrote in his book conversations with god, summed up a quote supposedly from god; "you got me all wrong". i'm sure i no longer fit with the conventions of christianity. i used to cringe at the word "god" (only use it as shorthand), and still feel like barfing at "lord" actually. thankyou for your kind words

I think as we grow older,we adopt a more tolerant attitude towards the subjects that used to perplex us through our younger years.
I have,I know I have!
I stand back and smile gently at the younger generation,and wish I had their vivacity and energy to join them in their fight for justice.

That is why Spiritualism appeals to me. It is so much more "benign".
Well said,Peter.PPrncpl7 wrote:Hello all
I seem to have lost a post from two nights ago on this thread.
To summarise what I said then--organised religeon of whatever flavour is eventually spoilt by man! All religeons have some basis of truth! Spiritualism seems to answer one or two vital questions(I have had at least!).
Christianity has almost certainly failed! It relys absolutely on belief and faith--it gives no proof!
I do not include Jesus in the above statement--you can all argue over the question of 'is he the son of God'. To me he was a very special person--he was the ultimate 'healer'.
I now work with spirit--that labels me spiritualist in many eyes--but I am not sure that is wise or accurate! There are many money makers and false prophets out there under the banner of spiritualist! £40 to give a reading??????????
I could go on and on--but will stop for now at least! We do not die when our physical existence ends on this earth plane-that has been 'proven' to my satisfaction! What happens after we are not meant to know until we get there.

mac, how can you have a religion with no beliefs? no offense, just a flat out question. sparkly wrote:hi mac,
i will reiterate here, i have no religion, but was brought up with the book, which has some good things in it, but i accept is a book. we were told to stay away from seances and i've told my kids the same thing. the reason is i've met epople whove let someone i ie a little 5 yo girl who was murdered , but once they let her i, she was more than thy bargained for. you gotta know what you is messin' with. how to get that knowledge i don't know lol but that song "don't mess with mr in between" is playing right now.
yes, for myself i don't believe in after/ forelife because i've experienced them as well, i understand what you mean there. i think the "him" thing is a way of relating, and in nature there is feminine and masculine, and it can adopt form, hence the discretion which has now become ambiguous.
however your religion does have beliefs(otherwise it can not hold members/ tenets), and as you've told me before you've accepted things related via a "silver birch" (whom i have yet to read), but i too file things under maybes and probaly's that i can not as yet verify.
And we've gone WAY off-topic now. 
) may find their own beliefs about the meaning of life. 
because just as you don't believe in the spirit world, I don't believe in reincarnation, (we're all different) but whether either of them exist or not I can't see how you could reincarnate if it's not done through the spirit world.
Wow, I read this before and today again and he was quite mad.Tomblues wrote:mac wrote:Viking wrote:Dull, Joannie? It would be a far better world if we could all be kind. We don't need dogmas for that. They are limiting and divisive.A world of kindness with no Christianity or any other religion would be bliss. The Roman Catholic Church is the wealthiest organisation on earth. How, I wonder, do they equate that with the teachings of The Nazerene? It's all gone horribly wrong somewhere.
"A world of kindness with no Christianity or any other religion would be bliss" The world from which we came, the one to which we'll return as we all travel back eventually to the source of our creation....
Wow this is going no where. Christianity is not related to Catholicism at all. True Christianity is not even related to the simple word Christianity in a way. It is a relationship with Jesus Christ in your life and it is a relationship that can ONLY exist if you truly believe that he is the son of God himself. It was Gods plan to put himself into this world as a human being only once. Being part atoms/cells/flesh etc of physical existence and part spiritual energy different than ours. Then to turn himself as a "savior" because of love with a very perfect plan. He is spirit, he is God, and he is Christ. To allow himself to be ignored by you, abusedby you, insultedby you, nailedby you and crossed from Bethlehem’s birth, Jerusalem and now America, UK, etc Now we can draw his blood, not just from the cross but forever until he finally returns to pick us up becasue he gave it to us though UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. But this blood was shed to allow EVERONE that believes in this to be set FREE from any sin that could possibly exist. Free, simple, done, no searching quantum physics, no death card moves, not chasing wee-gee or monopoly junior. This was documented 2000 years ago and is now around the world and we have one every 20 feet, every store, every church. This is true Christianity and when you become born again (as an adult) to proclaim that you understand and believe it, you become 100% free. I am Born again and I am free, but when I sin it’s still a real sin, but if I ask for his blood in his name by that belief IT IS REMOVED INSTANTLY! A simple plan with a simple answer. Did you think Gates, Buddha or Obama could help? (well maybe Steve with the iPhone,hehe)
Look without this we are Sh**, we are crap. We have no (real) love for each other. Your illusion makes you think you do. I am dying of cancer, come visit me. Take a plane to comfort me oh digital buddies. Who would? I don’t even know you…….er a…. I live in Russi…….I have no money, I cant…… No No No. Sorry but Only Christ will come to visit me in 10 seconds. Not Michael, not Shiva, not Buddha (who are all dead) only the Living Christ surrounded by his messengers. You cannot talk to God; you can only talk to God through Christ. Why?? He will not listen, it’s his son he gave to us as the simple plan, and he will still love you but thinks you are buffoons to ignore Christ. He laid his life down for you, to just believe it! We are human SCUM. This is why this is the ONLY PERFECT PLAN because God so loves the world that he gave us his only created son, that who ever believes in him will live forever. Just THAT. Its DONE. The evil guy looses. (sorry my writing, not Johns) Jesus Christ is Christ-mas that you love and Christ-me’s that I love. I call this iChrist. The inquisition is a pointless group of idiots, it is not Christ, and this is not my personal relationship for the son of God. That’s old distracted history. Most of you are just new age, tarot spinning, angel card deck users that have no dice, in a general spiritual forum like SI taking everything from witchcraft cult orbs to Shiva or anything else you can create in your mind to end up with nothing but a lump in your soul. Empty. Go plant some trees and piss on it, its just as good. (sorry but I am not a perfect Christian, I should have just said pee, hehe!!)
Violet, for Gods sake, put up a REAL Christian MAIN TOPIC next to your “The Spiritual Retreat” section marked Jesus - The Son Of God
for the few that want it. Just limit the tarot section away. We wont go there.
In this case to each his own but with this topic required me to dance with your devils.
Stop reading bull sh**. Sorry but there is a war in heaven, and we are the players and most of you useless pawns. Wake up as Angel Tony says. The word says it all. Shaking your 8 level chakras are only going to jiggle your flabby bellies. Shaking the cross is eternal and it also feels darn good.
Here is something to kick you in the teeth. The warning 666 is of man that can be discovered in this physical world. Its not Obama or microchips Its…Carbon, the essential element of the creation of physical life, flesh..you..me..your sister..and is 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Go google it. You tell me why the electrons are split as 4 parts around 2 parts. Ill get back you as of why. Why am I angry here, this is a spiritual website and is almost the ONLY topic about Jesus that I could fine at all (ONE). WHAT!! But you say Spiritual Inspritations... but with out the son. The spiritual guy himself, the...?? Sorry I guess its my turn to say BYE now. This isn’t spiritual; it’s a fake false illusion. So long I am glad I did not make any qweezzy friends here. You’re all buffoons.
And mac please don’t twist my words or attempt complex confusing speech to deter what most others think as maybe possible either? When I read your posts all I can see is a politician with a very big mouth and you are quite correct, you are a lazy ass.
At first I thought scum was a bit much, but if you think of it. It is quite true. We are all guilty of almost every sin in the book. ALL OF US. In Gods mind we are scum in a spiritual sense. That is why God loves us so much to give us Christ to remove all the remaining (sc**) sins from our souls. It was the perfect plan.
Yes I do!! Ladies, when you give those simple white lies to each other or to fellows isn’t that a simple “white” sin??? Yea, maybe scum was too profound but he is quite correct in a general way. We need to read my signature at the bottom quite a few times to reveal the only way we can find peace with God. Yes I do!! Course you do - you were designed that way. Ask yourselves what would have been the likely outcome if hormones didn't give us the urge to think about 'what comes naturally' (keeping it polite) Would we (and the animals) do what's needed to procreate? Yes? You think so? Why? Sexual urges were designed the way they were because it was necessary to ensure that procreation was reliable. Much the same in the animal kingdom.... "Ladies, when you give those simple white lies to each other or to fellows isn’t that a simple “white” sin??? A sin, eh? I could readily think of many far more heinous. "Yea, maybe scum was too profound but he is quite correct in a general way." "Profound"? 
Hardly profound, just absurdly over-the-top. No he wasn't right in either a general or a specific way - it was a rant and not a structured response to the subject of the forum. "We need to read my signature at the bottom quite a few times to reveal the only way we can find peace with God." I'll re-phrase that. What's really meant is "I need.......etc.". If anyone feels they have the way to do it then go ahead. Just don't make it a "we" situation because you find it right for you....Wow, mac I guess Mr. Blues was very accurate with his response directed to you as well.mac wrote:Let me analyse this for youz guys. The Christians here probably won't understand (not their fault) or even read it (that would be their fault) but the Christian Spiritualists might.

Yes, Violet, it would be very appropriate for you to open a new forum for the folks who hold such beliefs to speak to one another using the rich language that comes so naturally to them.
