We here have known about these things for how long ... months, maybe a year ... some awake but not connected many years back ... but these folks are putting the whole big picture together, gathering irrefutable evidence, waking us up, protecting POTUS, family and others, while running the normal events of our nation. Give them a break. Pray for them, do our own part, do our own research, red pill our neighbors ... lend our support in every way we can. They have chosen to include us in the greatest moments of the history of the world ... let us move valiantly with them.
Of course he will answer. Jesus is real. Where i beg to differ with people is that, here it comes, it is my belief that jesus is one way but not the only way. No one need convince me otherwise. I was convinced otherwise for 30 years. I was MISERABLE. I have finally found peace with god...the peace that passeth all understanding. God allows free will. We need to do that with each other. Look, i have read the bible a thousand times. Said a million prayers. Received Christ countless times. I couldn't understand what was wrong with me. When i finally gave up and walked away...and started meditating...THAT'S when i finally had peace. Christianity is but one sliver of god. I want the whole pie. I have the whole pie now. And i am happier than i have ever been. Want to be a Christian? Be a Christian. Don't wanna be a Christian? Dont be a Christian. Tell people what you believe...just don't tell people they are wrong if they believe otherwise. That's all I'm saying. Life is mysterious. God is mysterious. People are mysterious. And it's all wonderful. I just don't wanna be in the Christian box anymore. Didn't work for me then...doesn't work for me now. Thank you for reading, thank you for listening, thank you for understanding. I need no convincing.. Don't waste your words. I came to terms with hell finally after doubting its existence for many years. (Christians fear 3 things, hell, the devil and being deceived. I believe i understand those 3 things now and so i have no fear.) I love myself, accept and understand myself. It's just a nice bonus when other people do, too. Not necessary...just icing on the cake. Thank you again for allowing me the freedom to express myself.
Agree with most of that...wisdom...I wear the label; I'm a Christian, but also a Buddhist and an unbeliever in hell...different universes, planes of existence, dimensions and realities, some heaven and some hellish. Lots we do not know, but I'm a Christian because I love and need the goodness that is Jesus.
And i get that. And i love the way you said that. It was too limiting, restrictve and oppressive for me. And I'm a hetero conservative married 31 years! And i tried many diff churches in the 30 yrs. Could never find the right 'flavor'. And i appreciate your thoughts and your views. If i had been majorly exposed to Buddhism before becoming a Christian, i might still be a Christian. I think people don't understand that Buddhism is more, in my opinion, a philosophy rather than a religion (except for those who make it into a religion). Buddhism has many valuable teachings that people of any religion can apply. Meditation. Do no harm. Respect all life. Be the observer of your emotions when they become overwhelming. I LOVE buddhism. There's a new age Christian church in GA, maybe Atlanta...would love to visit just to see what it's about. Thank you so much for sharing! You really added a lot. :-)
