Apparently you wouldn't understand no matter what. You constantly repeatmy statements twisting them into your concepts. I will repeat I learned of God directly. You had no problem with the Apostle Paul who experienced his knowledge the same way. Why should it be different today. I never stated the bible was no use. I said I did not accept it as the inspired word of God. If you really want to understand have some unbiased person explain what the message is.

I think you are resposible for promoting a belief which places mans God outside himself. There is much evil in the bible, conducted by people who God chose for his people as favorites and rewarded.
Therefore people are misled from their knowledge of right living.

The reason it has lasted ince its inception is that it contains much truth, even my experience, and I think the truths there are a great guide for living; provided you are able to distinguish the truth and blow away the ignorant chaff.

I speak with no more authority than anyone else. I lived 50 yrs thinking I was a baptized Christian sinner. God revealed my true and that made me free. Free from my evil, begging, self, trying to live right and really deep down inside terrified of the hell I was heading for. After God made me aware of his existence and one-ness it gave me real salvation from the negative image I had of myself. When I saw the overwhelming person I really was then I started trying to learn what my image was because my concept of who I was changed the moment of that union. I am now a neophite trying to eliminte my animal instincts and learn the ways from the God that is one with me.

This is the best I can with words. I do not think words can convey spiritual experiences no matter the source.

Now quit bugging me as I have made every attempt to answer your questions. I decided to write one more time in case you really did want me to explain because you could see why we have differences.

You folks have taken over the other God echoes in the Coffee Shop.
There are some who choose to stop here because they are seeking to know more of God. They all are not content with what they know and are able to glean from experience.

That is my only purpose in being here to share my experiences. I realize that my thinking and reasoning in a renegrade to yours. I am not interested in putting down another for egotistical reasons.
I am serving myself and my God in a very poor manner if there is no truth in what I say.
