  1. LOL!! I think thats the nicest thing youve said to me yet! I hope you dont mind me saying thanks! "We didn't start the fire"
  2. Offer a precise definition of God (not simply however you want to define the concept for a particular post), and your assertion might merit consideration. God is Love. Life is loves greatest gift. Just look at how love empowers us with life in this world and how it makes us want to be better, do better, be good, do good. Love loves to be alive, and hates to be separated from what it loves. People fear love or embrace it. It destroys and empowers. Its connection is so unique with each individual it is expressed in so many different ways. What we know about love is weak, very weak. Its depth goes beyond our capacity of thought and its Glory would be devestaing if revealed all at once. Its energy consumes like a raging river, anything that goes against it gets wiped away and there is a flow to its wisdom. I dont think I have to tell you that love is not dead, it never dies, Love is alive and its promises last forever. There are those who will die to it and those who will live by it. Those whose hearts reveal heaven and those whose hearts reveal hell. It cant force someone to love it, that is against its nature, its love is only recieved when it is believed, through, fear, through doubt, through pain, through blame, through pride, through everything love conquers and is made more powerful. It shares, fills...sorry, I have to go..... "We didn't start the fire"
  3. [/logic][/reason]To say that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist is to say that hunger doesn't exist. Surely you've been hungry before, right? Therefore the FSM must be real.[reason][logic] You coninue to fascinate me with your wisdom! An educated man such as yourself cant seem to grasp that God is life and all things that sustain it. And that us, his greatest and most tresured creation actually may have the ability to know him through an unimaginable (to some) power called faith. It's funny that you can see the absurdity of others' remarks, but when your remarks are equally absurd and devoid of all logic, you just can't/won't understand why others don't take your gobbledeygook seriously. The bottom line is that you hold a set of beliefs that have absolutely no evidence in support of them, and all the gobbledeygook in the world won't change that. Your right. And I wouldnt have it any other way! One day, maybe logic will tell you that faith is where the power actually is. Or do you think that mankind is incapable of faith? Those who adamantly disbelieve in God, do so by faith, while at the same time saying they dont believe in faith. Any more logic there? I love how people who have NO ANSWERS themselves question the answers that others have found by formulating questions they still havent found answers for. I dont think that we have to look too far to see that mankind is completely out of our minds, and that, is one of our greatest qualities. Watch someone who falls in love loose all logic, all reason, all rationale for it. Someone much wiser than myself said that we are all fools in love. Spend your time searching for evidence, I will live in this Heaven until I am dead, and I will face death with a hope that cannot be taken by the petty intelligence of this world. And the great thing about hope is, that it too grows. I didnt see before that hope actually grows to the point of empowerment. That is, there is a difference between hoping with nothing left and hoping while waiting for something you know will be revealled. "We didn't start the fire"
  4. >>>>The enrichment process is not natural is it? The bombs they go on arent natural are they? Goodness sakes bill, and I thought you had my balance. >>>>The sword of the spirit is the word of God. Hebrews 4. It is there so that we can fight in the spirit. When you read the Gospel, did you miss the sermon on the mount? After a comment like that, I am wondering if you read the Gospel at all now! Dont take it personally, I just dont want people getting the wrong idea about Jesus because you misinterpreted one scripture in the Gospel. Everything in this world tries to attack our faith in grace, even our own thoughts. Jesus said, only if you tie up a strong man can you enter his house. Think about a love you have for someone and how circumstances in life can actually get you to question that love. Dont think it happens? It does. "We didn't start the fire"
  5. hmmm. a creation of science right? Mans desire to master the world? I dont remember Jesus talking about killing others. Dont get me wrong, science is good, but unfortunately can be used for evil as well. As can religion. Therefore, what Jesus says about evil running the world seems pretty believable to me. But, thats just me. "We didn't start the fire"
  6. I've stared at this statement for ages and it just doesn't make any sense to me. Please would you explain it to me. And if Christianity did just happen to be your family tree's default religion then have you ever wondered if you'd been born to Muslims if you'd be talking a lot about Mohammed. What if your parents were Budhists - what would you believe now? Would you have converted to Christianity? Would you have adopted Buddah with the same enthusiasm that you show for Jesus? I wonder if maybe you have the kind of personality that needs to strongly believe in something, and fulfilling that desire is how Christianity makes your life feel so meaningful. >>>>I dont really believe my life is that meaningful, as hard as that may be for some to grasp. I have found something, thats all, something that is incredible and that I cant stop talking about or even thinking about. It comes out when I talk to people because I love it so much and love desires to share what it loves. As for whether or not my personality is the type that needs to believe something, I just dont know. What I do know is that I didnt know how much love was missing from my life until the love of Jesus came in, so if I was someone who needing love and healing but didnt know it until I found Jesus, then yes, I guess I would be someone whos personality was fashioned around needing to believe in something. Sorry about the long response, but these questions you asked were really good and very personal to me anyway. Jesus says "do not give your pearls to pigs, or they may turn and trample you under foot". Let them trample. You sounded sincere and not deceptive in your question asking. Please forgive all spelling and grammar. "We didn't start the fire"

  8. Typical BS answer. To be so bold to say that your god exists, I would think that you would have some pretty solid answers about the origins of your god. (And that is definitely not a solid answer.) God is spirit. God is love. Love destroys and empowers and has many incredibly amazing invisible unobservable qualties. To say that God doesnt exist is to say that love doesnt exist. A humans deepest need is not only his search, but fulfillment of Love. Life is the greatest gift we can give and that is the greatest expression of Love. We get closer to a fulness in love through a heart that is pure and wholesome. This has nothing to do with the origin of the universe, but is just as true regardless of the origin of the universe. What this shows is that Life is not only capable of giving life as in the physical, but also has invisible qualities that if found and fulfilled will enable us to experience Life in incredibly increasing measures within the physical but not because of the physical. So, what are these qualities and how do we recieve them? Do they exist? If Jesus had not revealed these things, I would probably doubt Gods existance as well. But what he gives is Love to the greatest power I have known and what he reveais in that love is Life, which is what he says he is. God is not some white bearded man on a throne. The only description of God that is given in the bible is Invisible, He is spirit, he is life, and he is love. How does the origin of the universe explain the invisible qualities of life? That is, when a man is dead in the physical, it is because his life has gone. It doest intrigue you at all to wonder where it goes? In that wonder lies another beautiful invisible quality of Life, one that is accesible to anyone and just as empowering...Hope. Very few things I have recieved on these forums have intrigued me anywhere close to the revelations of a spiritual mind and its realistic applications to this life. And are just scratching the surface. "We didn't start the fire"
  9. Of course. We are social animals; we get a lot of input from the rest of the world (parents, friends, the media, religion etc.) Who we are is a conglomeration of our essential selves (ids, if you like) and all the above. >We are tempted by what we want, but what we want is not always what >we desire, so if that is the case, and we dont want what we think we do, >what is influencing our temptation? >>>>I dont believe that man tempts himself, but he is tempted by his own evil desire. They feel that by "removing the influence" they won't "go astray." Ignoring the homophobic aspect of that, it works about as well as parents who don't tell their teens anything about sex so they won't do it. I'm not too worried about it, though. When Loving vs Virginia was finally overturned, there were a lot of people who thought the country would collapse when it became legal for blacks to marry whites. What if their beautiful young daughter married a Negro? What could be worse? But as time went on, and that happened, and the country didn't collapse - people accepted it. Nowadays we don't even think it's all that sinful. We'll get there with gay marriage as well.Quote >>>>Again, I dont have a problem with gay marriage, but I will continue to express that when it comes to seeking the righteousness of God, it wont be accepted, at least not the way I see it. But I really dont care, the most important thing is that people continue to recieve the spirit of grace, and let that guide them. God is the judge of man, not me, and he knows the true heart of man. "We didn't start the fire"
  10. I disagree. In today's political climate, someone whose beliefs and actions are aligned with the teachings of Christ would indeed be an extreme liberal, just as Christ was (according to the Gospels) in his time. If you mean in the sense that extreme liberals seem to be intolerant of non liberals, then you would be closer the way I see it, but if you mean that Jesus himself was an extreme liberal according to the Gospel, we would have to define what one is. Politically, it seems you would be right as long as that liberal didnt desire sin.... 16"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them. 17"Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' 19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.' " Jesus was against sin because it makes us slaves and steals the finer things in life, not to take us away from our only pleausre, but to reveal to us a greater pleasure that was hidden from us. A heart that is pure and clean and desires righteousness. Not because it doesnt want to, but because it does want to. So, I guess you and I agree that he was an extreme liberal given the climate back then and even some of the climate now, but, he was always against sin. There are many more scriptures if you want them, but I want to make sure that people know he is patient, gentle, kind, humble, extremely understanding, and full of love. He invites us to a pure heart so that we might experience life to the fullest. If we are guilty of sin, that is the first step to a pure heart...truth. "We didn't start the fire"
  11. "I do not agree that the church should take a political stance on anything, but the intolerance of extreme liberalism is provoking those who dont want to be flooded with sin, so I can see where the engagement in the political sector is coming from." >Jesus came to free us from its stinch, to take us out, not to choose a side. Also agreed. Yet you seem to have put Satan on the "extreme liberal's" side. I think you are starting to put something together now. You still believe that we influence ourselves. You dont see the connection yet, there is an influence in the world, but it does not come from ourselves individually. We are tempted by what we want, but what we want is not always what we desire, so if that is the case, and we dont want what we think we do, what is influencing our temptation? Maybe a spirit of rebellion? I suspect some would say the same of extreme Christians. I know a lot of religious types, for example, who work very hard to deny rights for gays.Quote Yes your right. I am working hard to understand this myself. I still think it has to do with people not wanting their children to grow up in an enviornment in which homosexuality is acceptable. In any event, people are going to do what they are inspired to do, no matter what. Homosexuality is one of the biggest separators of liberalism and conservatism. Jesus didnt tell us to go on the offensive with the world and give our peace away. He told us to be examples of righteousness, and as far I as I see it, that DOES NOT include "gay bashing" or judging of any kind, at least outside the church. Inside the church is a little different on the judgment part...goodness, dont get me started on that one! "We didn't start the fire"
  12. Jesus was an extreme liberal. Do you think Jesus would approve fascism? First let me say hello, you always make me put on my thinking cap, and I am always checking myself with your posts....so.... No. Fascism goes on the offensive. Jesus went on the offensive but in the spiritual battle, not in the battle over world domination. Jesus didnt force anyone to do anything, he offered. Fascism doesnt offer, so no, Jesus wouldnt approve fascism. Im not a conservative or a liberal, I dont enjoy politics, I enjoy righteousness, and neither parties represent that in my eyes. Ask an extreme liberal if he is a sinner, ask Jesus if he is. Jesus is not an extreme liberal, but nor is he a conservative...he is not of this world and the things it desires, he is of the spirit and desires the purity and love of the hearts of man, sinners and all. A pure man is not a sin free man, he is a man without falseness. I dont think much of the church has grasped that, believe me, I talk to them as well, and I say that as humbly as I can. Think its bad getting bashed in here amongst some of you? Try being challenged by a pastor in the same faith. As I said before, self righteousness and hypocrisy come from inside the church, and these are people who quote scripture. But, this is just how I see this, and either its worthy of being in your conversations, or it isnt. I dont want to offend or fill myself with pride, and I dont see why people have such a hard time just reading something. While you and I disagree on just about everything, we at least enjoy the conversations some, or at least I do. "We didn't start the fire"
  13. Im not sure I get what your saying. Jesus was very much against anything that caused sin, that doesnt make him a liberal does it? Religion and Politics will always be a disturbing combination. Jesus came to free us from its stinch, to take us out, not to choose a side. You dont want to believe that satan is in control of this world, yet thats what Jesus came for, to free us from the grasp of this world and its addictive sinful pleasures by allowing us to taste the goodness of God in a desire for righteousness. Have a look at who is at the top of the world. The top is ruled by man. Money and Power. In the Gospel, Jesus contrasted God and money, thats a pretty powerful contrast that has been around for quite some time. In any event, my point was that I have seen more extreme liberals be against me than me against them. It is merely an observation, as I was under the impression that liberals were supposed to advocate liberalism. How is it advocating liberalism when theyre against anything that isnt liberal? Again, my main point is that Jesus is not against the world, but sin, and everything that casues it. It is not to spark a rebellion, but to make us aware that we are slaves to sin so that we might desire to be set free. I can testify that when I lived in sin, although it was pleasureful, it has nothing on the pleasure of the spirit. It just feels good to be good. "We didn't start the fire"
  14. Then why is satanism bad? It's obviously got sound principles. Eh, forget it, don't answer that one. Quote Your right I wont answer that one. But the theme of the statement was set on ghdiver believing that wiccan was not similar to satanism, and I disagreed. "We didn't start the fire"
  15. Then why is satanism bad? It's obviously got sound principles. Eh, forget it, don't answer that one. Look, every time you make a post it goes something like this: "Love, love, love, faith. Faith, belief, faith, love, love. Love love love faith love!" I'm honestly not able to follow anything you're saying. Anyway, this thread went way off track and has become pointless. I still say the original post was funny. Period. You know, more often than not it is pride not "over thinking" that keeps people away from God. Just imagine how insignificant our little lives are. Why would God reveal himself to someone who believes he is greater than what created him? No. God instead reveals himself to the humble. Im sorry you believe that was funny, so I guess you may be on the side of ignorance as well. Not just ignorance against God, but ignorant to what might be cosidered incredibly offensive to others. Why not put a picture of a hung slave up there and make fun of that? Im sure some sick and twisted individual can create some "hilarious" caption to accompany it. I am sorry if this sounds too bold, but it is just how I feel at the moment. So forgive my boldness, but at least respect the content as someone you are just having a conversation with. Nice conversation by the way. "We didn't start the fire"
  16. QuoteWhen Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.Quote Sorry, America does not represent Jesus anymore than Rome tries to. Jesus' battle was not with man, it was with the evil inside of man. And proof that he won the battle at the cross is revealed when you see an evil man repent and become born again. Grace is much stronger than the power of evil. Where fascism will come from is from the extreme liberals, who are intolerant of others while at the same time believing they are tolerant of everyone. There really is no need to hate a Christian, but they stand against sin, and that is why people hate them. Jesus said, the world hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. By him taking the cross for our sin it automatically made us ALL guilty of it. Christians basically expose denial in addiction, and no addict enjoys seeing he is in denial. However, I do not agree that the church should take a political stance on anything, but the intolerance of extreme liberalism is provoking those who dont want to be flooded with sin, so I can see where the engagement in the political sector is coming from. Let me save some time for people. This is satans world (the spirit of the worship of self), the extreme liberals will win, this is in the prophecy. There will be a new established "religion" that desires to eliminate all religions that follow God. The anti christ will then be revealed and the end of the world will come very rapidly after that. Of course during the short lived reign of the anti christ and his new religion, Jesus will come back and the rapture will begin. After that, no one would want to be around. Those who follow the anti christ will follow the fate of him, just as those who follow Jesus follow his fate. Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven...that one sounds better to me. Jesus was not a politician, he was against evil, and you cant fight evil with evil, nor fire with fire, so, as evil as man can get, the spirit of grace he revealed is much stronger. With the direction the world is going and the things in the prophecys already showing signs of the beginning of the end, it might be a good idea to at least try to understand the prophecy, this is sincerely only a suggestion. "We didn't start the fire"
  17. [No. Wicca is not Satanism and the rede is basically the Wiccan version of the golden rule.Quote Well I dont really agree with that. As that same rule is in Laveys satanic bible as well. Many wiccans dont acknowledge satan as a diety, but that doesnt mean they dont follow his ways. Satan is all about the worship of himself and his followers worship him best by worshiping themselves as well. Im sorry, but I also dont agree that the rede is any sort of or to any extent a "version" of the Golden Rule (Jesus' do unto others). It may be the wiccans golden rule, maybe thats what you meant? "We didn't start the fire"
  18. Actually old chap, I was raised by Catholics and educated privately at school run my an Irish Catholic order of preists. I took communion, was confirmed, and served on the altar, as well as taking religious studies for many years. I have more than a working knowledge of scripture, which I'm trying to purge to be honest to make room for normal stuff. I just always had the nagging suspicion that it was all BS. As I grew older, I became convinced it was just all nonsense. I ditched it all, and have never looked back. It's great to live without fear. I live by the Wiccan rede. "Be it harm none, do what they wilt shall be the whole of the law". Works great. Well I dont think I have ever been called an old chap before, but I kinda like it! I am sorry for insinuating you havent read the Gospel, but surely you know why I made that assumption. Repentance and acceptance of the Holy Spirit, Remorse, Guilt, Grace, Humbleness ect... is all in there yes? Yet you said that Jesus wouldnt even understand what I said. Just seems a little suspect that I said exactly what he said (according to the same bible you read) and you tell me he wouldnt say that. I see early on in your walk you met with hypocrites who lead you astray. I am very sorry about that. But, I dont insinuate you have a lack of Joy or that something is missing in your life. I know the Word, and what it says and according to it, I know about where you are in regards to it. What is so incredible about grace is that it is shown even to those who hate it most, in fact, that is what gives it so much power, its ability to love evil and even transform it in that love. Not that you are evil...you seem to be an inteligent man, you can get my balance here. Im not trying to attack you or challenge what is such a big part of your identity. Coincidentally though, the wiccan rede is simialr to the satanic bible yes? So you went from Jesus to satan? Just trying to see if I got this right. Doing whatever we want is great sometimes, but might be a bit ignorant to think it doesnt harm anyone. Its finding what we truly desire that is sometimes more elusive than we think. Giving ourselves whatever we want is not always giving ourselves whatever we truly desire. Just have a look at any addict, most of them would desire to never have known their addiction in the first place. "We didn't start the fire"
  19. There's absolutely no coherent explanation for that and, as such, nullifies itself (at least to me) due to laughability. You worship it but cannot even explain it. God is spirit, life is spirit, love is spirit. When I talk about the other side of the door, I am not talking about a place in existance, but rather a place in the heart. Cryptic nonsense. The heart is a muscle. If you're speaking of some figurative spirit-world vessel in each human that desires to be loved by a creator who only reveals himself through hand-me-down literature and expect other people to understand and accept it, you have to do a better job of illustrating it. That's always been one of my many problems with Bible teachings, everything is metaphor and parable. Nobody has ever been able to just come right out and say what they're trying to say! Please don't take this as a personal attack, but this has got to be one of the most incoherent and pointless paragraphs I've ever read. What does it mean? What are you trying to say? To say that love is a manifestation of inspired thought and then talk about how it "desires to be loved" is like saying that hot dogs are a manifestation of a pig's happiness and hot dogs desire to be eaten. Actually, I have fewer problems with that rationale. Wow. The comparison you're drawing here is, at best, incomprehensible. I'm not jabbing at you, but if this is a major point of the discussion for you could you please try to reword it so that we can figure out what you're trying to convey? That may be the problem with organized religions and the literature upon which they're founded. I was told once by an ordained minister that I was "over thinking" things and that's why I couldn't accept Christianity. But if it's possible to over think your religion, then your religion is designed for people who follow blindly without questioning. The Bible constantly refers to everyone as "sheep" and "children." Pardon me for saying so, but that doesn't denote innocence and purity to me, it denotes pliability. Those two entities are the most likely to just go with the flow and do what they're told and not question why they're doing it. And that's exactly why Christians have a get-them-while-they're-young-and-impressionable policy for recruitment. >>>>That is an interesting statement. I am open to all words of wisdom coming from anywhere at anytime. What that minister was telling you was the truth. There is a stigma going around with the so called intelligent and wise in the world, that those who believe are not wise and have not searched, yet some of the greatest thinkers in history have been believers of something or another. Even if you believe in nothing, you still believe in something. And if man was so intelligent, why is it that the true wisdom which is revealed is often so simple that it is overlooked by people trying to complicate it? I understand your desire for evidence to believe, but if you havent even tried the evidence that Jesus offers, how can you say there is no evidence? Jesus came to baptize repentant sinners in the Holy Spirit. The evidence in Christianity, (since many wont take our testimonys on it), is found in sincere repentance and acceptance of the Holy Spirit in Jesus. It is a shame that somewehre down the line you found a bitterness toward Jesus, or at least toward those who were representing him at the time. >>>>I believe I have questioned everything my mind was confronted with, and still do, its just that the spirit of God is spiritual and it is very hard to disprove Jesus when what is of the world tries communicate with what is of the spirit. I think you may underestimate the power of the revealed spirit. Its so powerful that you cant really deny it. In any event, I have been engaged over and over again by similar individuals such as yourself and I have listened, thought, and still, the word of God rings true. When your asking questions about life, your answers come from life, when your asking questions about science, your answers come from science. Science, or mans explanation, has done nothing for me in my questions about life, and it seems their questions were not my questions anyway. I believe Life is a Miracle, MANY scientists do not. Just this difference alone is going to spawn different questions. >>>>Understanding love is what God is all about. Receiving the love of a freind who gave his life for you because he loved you so much is what recieving Christ is all about. Then he reveals he is the embodiment of the Love of God and tells us that very love is Limitless. Everything God made, he made out of love for the purpose of loving, both good and bad. Humans were not only created to love, but to be loved as that is goodnesses greatest attribute. Even people outside of Christianity at least submit to something universally good within us and within nature. "We didn't start the fire"
  20. I swear your posts get less and less comprehensible as you go on. If spouting that lot (whatever it means) is a result of believing in Jesus then I'm going to avoid it like the plague. I would not want that level of weirdness in my life. And its that very reason why you may never have it. At least do me this favor and tell me that you have or have not read the Gospel. "We didn't start the fire"
  21. You forgot to add the word "subjectively" to the end of your sentence. Give us something tangible. That's my challenge to you. Stop speaking in parables. How can love ever be tangible? Im trying not to speak in parables, but sometimes it seems to be the best way. It wont matter either way, a man hears what he hears whether it is perfectly explained or hidden in parables. Wisdom reveals itself from the inside, that is why people call it enlightening. It has an incredible shock factor at times when it is truly understood, but is just letters and words until then. "We didn't start the fire"
  22. You seem to have trouble with the concept of evidence. I need scientific evidence. Tangible evidence that can be duplicated. Not feelings or any thing subjective. I really am very sorry for that. Belief is one of mans greatest experiences, and what is found there is beautiful and endless. Like the dream of a child is full of life. "We didn't start the fire"
  23. This is unintelligible superstitious babble. If there was Jesus, even he'd be asking WTF that was. BTW, I took a Jesus on a tandem last weekend. Might not have been the one you were talking about though. I think this one worked in San Jose. That is too funny! Im pretty sure Jesus would have skydived if it was around back then, but I dont know for sure, I just think he would have. He seemed to want to really enjoy his creation, hed pray on mountainsides and constantly talk about nature, and I believe he did call the sky good in Genesis... not sure though. Nevertheless, I also worked with a guy named Jesus, coincidentally, he was a Christian! Sounded like the tandem went well! I have great respect for tandem masters, great respect. "We didn't start the fire"
  24. On this side of the door I have friends. I have dreams, hobbies, and fun. On this side of the door I'm alive. Why do I need to worry about what may or may not happen after I die in a figurative paradise or lake of fire? If God were real and we had need for Him, wouldn't I feel a void? Ive always asked what you intend on revealing when you search for evidence of the beginning. What does that knowledge do for a heart that is starving for love and affection? I dont have a problem with scientists, I actually think the desire they have is very interesting, but life is not about how we got here or why were here even. It is about enjoying it to the fullest while we are here. And that, takes searching to find out what we truly want. I had no idea that my desire would turn to righteousness,, but it makes sense, righteousness feels good, no one desires it without an understanding of love, we have a natural desire for what is good, but also a natural desire to go against that. What we do, until we figure it out, is feed both desires as the hunger arouses itself. Feed the good and you will feel good. Feed the good with all your heart and you will feel the natural goodness in life. Life to the fullest requires goodness. Anything that conflicts with that desire gets in the way of us enjoying the most satisfying and pleasure-filled life. And spelling? Yes, spelling. As an adult, you should not only be able to write at a High School graduate level but also notice the "Check Spelling" button below the text box into which you're typing your reply. I never said I was an educated adult! And that chek spelling button is very time consuming and doesnt work like a normal find replace window! RYNO LONGWIND IS BACK!! Just kidding, I guess I got way too carried away, sorry bout the length. "We didn't start the fire"
  25. Did you repent of your sins, and fill your heart with remorse? Accept Jesus as the atonement for those sins and pray to be baptised in the holy spirit? Have you humbled yourself in front of God behind closed doors and bowed to his power? Because, I promise you with all my heart if you do these things he will reveal himself and you will see a life so beautiful and full of spirit. The only thing we can do in this life to be united with God in spirit is to confess our sins to him and ask for his forgiveness. Jesus is the only acceptable forgiveness to find life right here on earth. If you do these things, I promise you will find life. Repentance is the door, but God knows the heart and he knows when the repentance is sincere and when it is not. Life is a gift, there is nothing we can do to find it. It is only given through repentance and acceptance of the Holy Spirit. The key question is do you desire to leave the world, for this gift? Im afraid that death must be revealed in you before you will desire life. God gives on the measure you desire him to give. This is the message of the Gospel, and I can testify to its truth as can many others. "We didn't start the fire"
