<<Sam, it takes more faith to not believe scriptures than it does to believe them.>> Barney somehow I have conveyed to you the wrong message. Through my youthful brainwashing faith was tool used until knowledge replaced it. The semantics of Jesus and Christ prevent our communicating. Do you have any doubt according to history that Saul of Tarsus had faith as a Pharisee since birth? Do you really have any doubt that I was raised in the Church and had faith in Jesus at the time? Why is it Paul was revealed the Christ and that made it OK for him to discard his faith with the knowledge of Christ? Should he have kept his faith from youth and returned to it? You readily accept the fact that Paul had the experience. Why is it so difficult for you to accept the fact that I did the same? Why cannot you accept that God wrote his laws in my heart and revealed the Christ in me? The bible tells you emphatically that is how it is done. Paul like Socrates, says to know thyself. Paul and his friend Luke tell you over 90 times of the Christ or God in you. Paul tells you of your duality with Christ. Remember the first man of the earth is earthy, and the second man is "The Lord from Heaven."? You are concerned with life after death and I think we both know we are creating it for ourselves every minute on earth. Until God reveals his truth to you; you will never know it. I cannot tell you for it is something that has to be experienced. I do not expect to be believed. I am not that naive. But while I am persecuted for my beliefs and called a nut, anti-Christ, Devil, etc., I only have pity for others who know not what they do. I have no desire to change your beliefs. We each have our own paths to learn to be Godly. I do wish I were able to increase your understanding of how Christ dwells in us which only God can do.
