Be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Narcissistic personality disorder is found more commonly in men. The cause is unknown but likely involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others' feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement.
Quit bringing my name up and I'll quit talking about you...it's called responding... Before I quit talking about you ..one more thing, I don't like your attitude, just because you are jealous is not an excuse. Maybe try to tone it down a bit.
Hooha I haven't read anything Fargo has said nice about anyone. Narcissistic personality disorder comes to mind. I try to overlook those kind of people... they have their own demons to deal with.
I don't believe in religious support systems. That's when Christianity turns into a business...brain washing .. drink the Kool aid type groups. You can be by yourself on an island without any support system and be a Christian. Education has nothing to do with it. I don't even know where you get that idea, some very intelligent people are proud Christians.
I'm not Catholic so I'm not sure about this statement, it could possibly be true. I do not appreciate you calling my whole life experience BS. I'm human and you are human...please take that into consideration when you start throwing the BS around. You are thinking with a human brain, as I am as well, consider that also. There may be flaws in mine and your theories. Please don't be close minded, I try not to be.
I identified with so many of the things that Ingersoll spoke about. I still have not completely read the old testament... it sickens me. The love and kindness of Jesus is the only thing that got me on my knees. Then the one who is pure love gets brutely killed. For years I couldn't think about any of it, none of it made sense. But I continued to pray and sometimes God would answer my prayers immediately and that kept me interested. Then about 25 years ago I got mad not so much at God but at the doctrine of the church I was going to... I walked out never to go back and I was furious... saying none of it was even important. Then the next day he shows me a miracle... he fills me with his spirit and blows my mind and then he laughs, he has a sense of humor. So I know he's just a breath away. I hope when Ingersoll passed that he got his answers. The only thing I can say is I have a lot of questions and I know they will be answered by a all knowing God. A God who's thoughts and ideas are nothing like mine.. probably why he laughed.
Hans, my poem was in reference to Bob's comment... not your blog topic. I answered that a couple pages ago. Why would you use a question for a blog? Your profile says you are spiritual but not religious... Who do you think made God? Being spiritual you probably have a spiritual answer. My Native American ancestors, calls God the Great Spirit. They never had Bibles to teach them anything.
^^^^^^^ that clip reminds me of the saying...the Bull in the china shop...lol
Sept 9 was when my daughter was born..20 min after I got to the hospital. She was a tiny 4 lbs and moving fast. She came early and has always been one for surprises.
3:20 am in F. is about dawn here. I'm retired..I go to bed at midnight or after, other wise I'd be at 3:20 drinking coffee with you. I don't sleep many hours ..4-6 hours and I'm up.
We don’t want death to come before we’ve lived. When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me, and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood. and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence, and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth. When it’s over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it’s over, I don’t want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.
Jenny did he call you a liar.. I don't understand this bashing you're giving him. Sorry but it just seems a little harsh..he's aloud to say whatever he wants on his profile. I'm sure there must be more to this than what I'm seeing. What happened to love one another as I have loved you. If you can't do that then ignore them. This is just ugly.
God has no gender, but when people say Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father and Son part sounds to be male. Some think the Holy Spirit is female... I have heard the voice of the Holy Spirit.. it sounded deep and masculine.
Who made God? I see that was the question. No one made God he is eternal...he was not made so is not subject to the laws that science discovered...it was God who made the universe and it's laws. The universe was created.. God was not.
