Discretion of Satan. Isa 14:12-15 (NIV) How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.
Jesus describing himself.Rev 22:16 (NIV) "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
but we do have hope and that hope is that nobody needs to suffer any illness during their life. Imagine, we are so close with stem research in abolishing diseases, repairing spinal cords, growing organs, abolishing cancer ...etc..etc and who knows one day one of your offspring’s might even live for ever. Nothing is any longer outside of human reality in search for perfection.
actually bloke it’s the other way around!! If there were no atheists you would be still wondering about the wheel. Religion belief and faith has suppressed the human mind for way to long and now that we have finally broke free from the religious dogma in the last 100 years or so, the world is moving rapidly forward in every way.
I wouldn’t be up and giving any applauses to that scenario as yet! Spirituality also includes believing in aliens, witch craft, reptilians and whatever. Most people wouldn’t have the slightest idea abut the spirituality you are talking about and by the time they do, which is still years from now, it will take on many forms and people will be none the wiser. more of my observational opinions.
Spirituality? Most people I come across haven’t really moved away from the religion they were born under just renamed it. And then there are those who believe there is all loving god that is A prepared to eat it self out of existence.
as long as we don’t mistake that shift for organization and accessibility to knowledge. There is no doubt as you say there is a shift, I don’t see it as a spiritual one even tho there was one in the 60’s with flower power!! Which was awakening the human mind with acid and the world can be as one as long as we are all on the same drug…
Hi Trish I bought the book as you suggested few months ago and I'm still battling through it. What I mean battling, I mean dissecting it as I do with all literature concerning spiritual nature. I definitely think we are all born with a gift that is deep inside of our brain & sometimes can be accessed but I’ll stand as a skeptic, it has anything to do with spirituality or awakening. Why I don’t believe humans are not spiritual, for the simple fact our thoughts can be suggestively manipulated, our memory completely whipped out and new one introduced, there are no laws of justice and we are only one small step away from converting back to barbarism. All you have to do is turn your TV on and see how we are manipulated into thinking wars are justified, money matters and love they neighbor is ruling over them.. Just my thoughts on this subject.
and eventually you will move to the next light when this one goes dim. you can try them all and they will lead you to a dead end. So where do you go from there?
you are missing a point Muslims had Mohamed Christians had Jesus Buddhists Budda Indians Krishna.. etc they all fight for their empires and wealth, you are just indispensible follower who is helping to line the pockets of thief’s.
You were destined to be a Muslim by your birth place as well as cultural ties. So if you were born into a Christian faith, do you think you would denounce it and become a Muslim?
RE: Isn't it wonderful that 'Bay' is a nice Christian guy?
yep remeber
