RE: Working on my dual citizenship.

I have my Am/Swe dual citizenship. Still feels funny in the sense that I can say I am Swedish now....but only on paper.

RE: God exists???

You just have opinion as it would seem from your post. You have anything else to help my understand better your theory? Most people? Yes, by nature we can be selfish, but if we are aware of that, we can control and manage that part with wisdom and a deeper understanding of ourselves and our world. Spirituality has helped my do that. You draw some strong conclusions out of some kind of rage judging by your post?



I concur. Great post Zarah




I totally disagree with you buddy on the spiritual guidelines part. I also would not suggest that religious people are nuts... maybe the extremists.
True that religion has divided in a sense, but I would not say that profound spiritual guidelines would divide people. To be honest, I know many religious people who have a sound spirituality and a deep understanding for other people in which case they do not judge...just accept and understand.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I think this thread has been pretty clean for the ones actually discussing the topic. I enjoyed reading everybody's veiwpoints with a curious eye.

So, got anything else Goose?

RE: What we're listening to just now.

I love Fleetwood Mac...listen to them every week at some point.

ONJ just came on my player...Magic...have to believe we are magic....nothing can stand in our way...I just love the lyrics, ONJ's voice, and of course I had the biggest crush on her in the early 80's. Is that so wrong?

RE: What we're listening to just now.

You really do like that song huh....

As for me, I have my real player going with my clips, and I just felt like playing Melissa Etheridge - Come to my window....brings back cool memories from the 90's and some wishful thinking.

RE: Who here believes in love at first sight / destiny

Not for me. Just lust at first sight. I need things to build up before I can even consider using the world love.

I believe we create our own destiny with our thoughts and actions. If you want your own destiny, think it, align yourself with it by positive thoughts and actions, and don't stop believing in your destiny. If you just sit back and wait for magic to happen, then you will meet your unfortunate destiny.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I like your observations Rilly....you bring up good points on this page. True, experts or scientists are always reproving themselves over and over again in regards to some theories that are controversial and remain in the darkness of abstract. So many points and counter points. It comes down to what you want to believe. I have my own belief and truly respect anyone else's belief that is different than mine...almost always. Nevertheless, this material is complicated depending on how much knowledge you have pertaining to this subject. It's like the more you know, the less you understand at first. Ultimately, it comes down to what you believe and I think it's much better to create your own theory by connecting all the accepted and non accepted sources and make your own reality. Of course, it is not that black and white when you are dealing with circumstantial evidence that both parties presents.

Anyways, I really don't care. I am more concerned with keeping my life pleasant, in the present. I strongly feel that the truth is not for us to have in this astral plane of existence. If we did know the truth, our energy would be raised, and we would not be in this world or of this world. We would be on another plane of existence that is a bit more evolved.

RE: I'm Curious To See What Others...

I would confront her and ask her some questions. I would say that this person is desperate and looking for somebody to make her happy. I would surely say that the person is very much unstable and unhappy with herself as well as her life. I would more than likely cut it off right there.



I would put my foot down and straight up say that I am not interested. If it persists, then I simply ignore her. If it still persists, then would in a sense say go fly a kite.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

From "The orgin and Evolution Of Religion"; Albert Churchward:

"The idea that the Hebrew religion was based on "one God" is outrageous nonsense.They worshipped many gods and in the Old Testament texts they refer again and again to god in the plural, as with Elohim. The Jewish singular "god", El, comes form the name Elohim, which is plural. The Elohim were the Anunnaki, and the serpent goddess, El, in the Edda relates to all this. But in the English translations the plural gods are turned into the singular God. The first line of Genesis "in the Beginning God created the heaven and the Earth" actually reads in the Hebrew : "in the Beginning gods created the heavens and the Earth." The word Elohim, plural, is used 30 times in genesis and 2,570 times in all. Terms like Yahveh-elohim or Yahveh of the gods, is translated as Lord and Lord God to hide the truth. It was impossible to eliminate "the gods" when these texts were first written because the whole of the world was worshipping a vast range of gods, representing the Anunnaki and other under different names, and the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, and natural forces. The move from gods to God advanced rapidly with the advent of Christianity and when the Bible was translated into English."

It is just an alternate to what has been presented over the years. I am not asking anyone to accept this. I don't think Albert Chrurchward did a ton of research and invested a ton of his time and money just to make a profit. Just to report what he thought should be ought there. He had his own quest for the truth. He just did not blindly accept the official version due to his keen knowledge and research into his subject.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

Thought I would throw this in, taken from a book that I have:

"The early Hebrews worshipped the serpent god of the Summer Empire and the Levites were called Sons of the Great Serpent. Their god Yahweh (YHVH) was depicted as part human, part serpent, and their sacred book of esoteric (hidden) knowledge, the Kabbala,means "Serpent Wisdom". The Levites or Sons of the Great Serpent (bloodline) worshipped YHVH as a dragon called Leviathan, hence Levite. YHVH' serpent form was also known as Nehushatan or "Brazen Serpent" by the Levites and they placed golden and brass images of this deity on the altars of Hebrew temples. Excavations have discovered bronze and copper serpent symbols in former Levite temples. The mythical story of Moses and the Brazen Serpent set upon a cross is symbolic of this same theme. The Babylonians had inherited the stories and myths of Egypt and Summer, and now they would reappear in a twisted form in the texts that would later become the Old Testament."

RE: flowers

Not really...the message attached to the flower does influence my reply...

RE: WHO'S THE WORLDS FUNNIEST BLACK MAN WILL SMITH BILL COSBY CHRIS ROCK EDDIE MURPHY OR RICHARD PRYOR ?

Eddie Murphy..I grew up watching Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live. The dude was just too funny in the 80's.

I would actually choose Chirs Rock if he was an opiton here....

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I am starting to mancrush on you patrick.... I still wanted you to strike me with your sword though What if I said you are going to hell if you don't go to church next week

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

Actually one in reverse, I would not suggest perfect order.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I am not trying to change your thinking patrick, but what about what Jesus says in getting wisdom/understanding and his concepts of love. I would not suggest that was a load of crap Please go easy on me with that sword....but mine is bigger...

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

You have no idea what was worshipped before then? If not, that's cool. Search it if you wish to expand your understanding...only if you wish too. You may like what you find.....

Oh, Astrology was one of the first ones here....fyi....and worshipping the sun...

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I love when patrick speaks his mind. The dude has a sharp sword....

RE: Was Moses just another cult leader? (and other borrowed ideas)

Uhm, you missed my point. Also, I would like to point out that Paganism speaks a great deal about energies and karma....in their own way. Just like any other mythology/religion. History is the lie commonly agreed upon, so we do agree as to some of the prescribed nonsense that is taught to us.

The biblical stories do have some truth in it. It depends how deep in the rabbit hole you are dwelling in, and how you can connect it to the alternate history that has been hidden from us.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

Actually the New Testament makes it more of a point with Jesus preaching not to love the world and it's evil/selfish desires. I get your point. But there is a separation from desires and Gods.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

The supernatural power that is in me. Energy. I am made of energy. The universe is made up of energy. We are all energy vibrating. We can manipulate our energy to be happy and attract what we want and what we don't want.
Energy is our life force, our life force is connnected to the Source or God as many percieve it. So we are part of that source, but seperate at the same time...kinda like a water drop in the air away from the ocean if you will.
The whole concept of God is too subjective in many parts of the world. Jesus and Muhammed even told their followers that we humans just cannot understand that concept if it was told to us over and over again. We are just not ready for that info on this astral plane.

RE: Was Moses just another cult leader? (and other borrowed ideas)

Just as an observation, if you do have enough research and material (costly investment), you do not have to dig into the translations for long so see that much of hte biblical Old Testament can be viewed as an edited rewrite of Sumerian stories. For instance, The tablets talk of how King Sargon was floated on a river in a basket of rushes...the Bible tells this same story of Moses.

Interestingly, many of the terms translated into the English version of the Old Testaments as "God" come from words that actually means gods, plural, and the Sumerians said the founder of their civilization were a race of beings that came to this planet from elsewhere in the heavens (universe) bringing great knowledge and technology...which built Atlantis. And some of that knowledge was carried on to Egypt after the great flood.

That's all I got for now. Not asking anyone to accept it, just making an observation pertaining to this thread. Not saying this is my truth, but it is documented, or what was left of it.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I'm aware that Buddhists do not believe in a God or Gods. Religion is a belief in a higher power and something that gives some value to live in a meaningful life. A deity or God does not need to exist to begin a religion.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

Actually I would not say plagiarized, I would just suggest that the central themes is just another expression to the truth, the source, how we can evolve ourselves and our karmas. There are many different roads to the peak.

Saying plagiarized is a strong word and you would have to have a lot of documented work....your own work.

So that is what I meant by my own thread. How it is all the same religion under a different mask of interpretation. And yes, the Judeo-Christian-Muslim religions are misleading in some ways in the sense of surrendering yourself to a powerful God, and following or obeying your masters.....

Hinduism and Buddhism do not adhere to such notions...the caste system by the Hindus was created by society,not the religion if anyone wants to jump the gun.

RE: should you judge people by what they look like

Just a pre-empitve apology for those who like to say

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I can start a thread on that one. You know that Baptism was introduced by the Sumerians, not the Christians....Actually, you go ahead and start that thread. If not, I will.

RE: should you judge people by what they look like

good post dilly. I don't judge anyone by looks as far as assessing their character, but I do judge a woman by looks (I really don't have that high of standards) if I am going to kiss a woman all over her body all night. Sorry, physical attraction plays a huge role for me as far as judging a woman as a potential partner.

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

It all connects, the principle-divine ideas taken from all the religions before and after Judaism...

RE: Does the Bible recognize the existence of other "gods"?

I believe that is what the passage really means. Great point kidatheart!
Good point Aries. I do believe their language at the time had a specific intent. I don't think humans were less perceptive during that time. Like I said in my first post, half is divine, and the other is a smoke screen to have us believe not in ourselves...by using fear so we do not look inside ourselves, but surrender ourselves to an external source and continually live in fear. I also don't like the language of "he" or "father" in the bible. That use of gender also served a false purpose that has led us to today's world dominated by men....
