Looks interesting and if I don't get slaughtered by shipping and Holland's obscene VAT, I may just buy this.

JR -
If I recall correctly, you have more of a Universalist approach to your faith. Is that correct? - Donald

J. Roger:
I call 'him' 'Father', the One True God. Most important is the question, what do you do with Jesus/Yeshua? Is he, as the bible states, the only way to the Father and life with Him after we die? While you certainly are entitled to personal opinion, I do choose to use an 'ist' word to identify myself - Christian. This forum is also of that persuasion. |

You may not like the label Universalist, but when you talk about what you believe (in your posts, in person), you share common beliefs with a Universalist. You believe that there are many ways to come to God, and accept the premise that a Muslim, a Buddhist, and a Christian (for example) are worshiping the same God. What do you believe about their destinies after death? - Donald

The Alpha and the Omega. We are all children of God. There is no such thing as my God and your God. It is only man's foolishness that causes this division. There is only one God, whatever we care to call him. Man strayed from God in the Garden of Eden. One day, we shall all return to Him. For some it may take longer than others, but he will be there in waiting. The suffering in the world is never caused by God, only by man and his ignorance. "Return to me, and I shall return to thee."

Here are some Bible verses to make sure the path to God the Father is clear and our opinions don't cloud the waters;
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Unless I'm missing something, condemnation is not temporary, it is eternal. Romans 10:9 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I don't want to start a fight, but to echo the concerns of Brother Donald, Universalism is dangerous. No matter what we would like to believe or what we feel is right, Not all souls will find themselves in Heaven. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
"A wizard is not to be made in a day." -Professor Hoffmann (Modern Magic)

On 2014-01-22 10:43, Donald Dunphy wrote: Excellent question Donald. We all started with God. As it says in the Bible "We are all children of God." Man separated from God in the garden of Eden. In the earthly realm in which we live, there is evil and insanity. Much of humankind has deserted God, but He has not deserted them. Because He is pure love and compassion, He is there for all of us at any time. We just need to re-discover Him, and the door will be open for all of us. For some it will take longer than others, because they are not seeing the light, but in time all will return. One day the lion will lie next to the lamb. JR |
