Big replies!! Good thread!
Joe's "Listen to hear His voice..." [exact quote] Bingo! WINS THE PRIZE!
To the dear person who started this, Tracy, at this point, you can opt to receive more info from human kind, OR... shut off the superfluous sounds around you and humbly seek [like on a daily basis]... directly from "The Horse's Mouth..."
ASK HIM for more of what He wants you to know. You are gonna be surprised in a great way.
I will
whisper a
"sacred secret" to you....
who you gon' call?? [Ghost busters?
?]
Dear Pax, thanks so much for bringing out in a detailed way that there were myriads of Christian-type peoples, some in caves, all various sects some with their own scrolls [I recently learned a lot from the History Channel] and different beliefs. Yes, "the more things change, the more they do remain the same." [It's actually quite funny!] And thanks for the insight into the history and meaning of the word "heretic," I
was taking notes. Also, dear
apologist, thanks for 'marrying' the two words
logos and
mythos for me; I learn something new every day.
Thanks for your input too Dean although it's hard for me to discern what the (slight) disagreement is about.
Kat -- Righto from me about your first paragraph.
Darren -- Your rhetorical question about "who knows if one has the truth?" I would guess, because knowing is not being... that it would be upon resurrection, first or second, to confirm the 'being' aspect of how He has lined it all up.
Pera -- I'm so very glad you have read the entire bible... now you know WHAT'S
NOT IN THERE.... i.e., eternal torment and a bunch more unscriptural crap.... muah! muah!
U r coool dude!!
