Conditional Authority = Insane Nonsense... >>"Saying that we are "sons of the living God" is not at all out of line with scripture." Using the term itself is perhaps not out of line with scripture, but the meaning which you are pouring into it is. When Jesus claimed equality with God, the Jews who heard him, picked up stones to kill him for blasphemy. It's not blasphemy if it's true, after all Jesus is God, and demonstrated that by rising from the dead, but Fred, you are not God. You are a creature who is made by God, in His image. BIG DIFFERENCE!>> Greg: You've got this bone you're trying to pick with me which make no sense. Go over what I have shared. In NO place will you find me stating that I have the same powers to create as God. I am NOT a creator. But what I will freely and fully acknowledge and share with you and anyone else is that I AM a receiver, a conduit for His Energy, His Light and His Love. I DO NOT CREATE. HE CREATES. I simply receive. BIG DIFFERENCE!! >>Jesus (second person of the Trinity) claims to be God = no blasphemy Fred claims to be God = blasphemy>> This is what you "chose to receive and belief as an idea and belief" based on your interpretation. You are free to receive, believe and share this idea. I have no problem with is whatsoever. This is the essence of what FREEDOM is all about. Tolerance and acceptance. But I did state the create vs. receive difference. >>>>" Unfortunately Jesus Christ has been used baseball bat in the hands of these "religious" types which seek to conditionalize, claim, blame and shame while refracting, spinning and twisting the balls of energy in this game of pitch, hit and throw.">>>> >>Aren't you doing precisely that Fred? What is your authority for saying the things you do about who and what God is? Please don't tell me it's Sweedenborg, because he has no more credibility than you do, especially when he couldn't sort out the good angels from the bad ones. Don't you know Satan comes as an angel of light? If you want to convince me you will have to convince me that your position can be sustained from Scripture and in context. Can you do that?>> Let it go Greg. There is nothing you or I or anyONE of us can claim so there's nothing you or I or anyONE of us can do to prove. Proof is ACTION. Proof is FEELING. Proof is LIFE. And all ACTION, FEELING and LIFE is pure energy. And this energy can be documented and proven mathematically with ZERO spin. As for Swedenborg, you are free to discredit him and anyone else as you see fit. Just understand that the tack you are taking has a negative bias. And I'm not going to play negativity games with you or anyone else. I am not going inside your castle. And I'm not going to go inside of a castle nor am I going to ask you to go inside a castle. 119293!!
