Powerful post by Solon here : Message 15849884 and the "Good News" for Modern Man in the world today ? ----->There are more Buddhists in Australia now than Baptists!(halleleujia, thank you Jesus .) ;-)) Buddhism Gains Popularity in Australia GO TO SOURCE AUSTRALIA, June 18,2002: There are now more Buddhists in Australia than Baptists. The latest census figures show that all main Christian denominations are in a continued decline. Eastern religions are growing, with immigration factors accounting for much of the increase, most notably with Islam and Hinduism. There are now more Australian Hindus (.50 percent) than Australian Jews (.44 percent). Not even migration patterns can account for the growth in Buddhism. In 1996 just under 200,000 people identified themselves as Buddhists. That number has risen to 360,000, outnumbering Baptists by more than 50,000. The president of the Baptist Union of Australia, the Rev Tim Costello, said that the figures were not surprising. "The Christian churches' failure to deal with sexual abuse has enormously damaged their credibility, and that's where I think Buddhism has gained the edge," he said. "Buddhism is personal, not collective, it doesn't have a heavy institutional framework -- at least not in Australia -- so on the surface it's probably much more appealing today." ** and Albert Einstein was the last Prophet of God ! hehe

Ah , this is interesting study here , from David's Song : mahakali.com "Yahweh is my Mother. She fulfills all my needs. Tenderly She gives me resting-places. She provides me with quiet and serenity. She renews my truest self. She welcomes me intimately because that is who She is. Even on the day of death I am not afraid for You are with me; Your presence comforts me. You prepare a festive meal for me in the face of all my fears. You rub my body with healing oil. My joy cannot be contained. Only goodness and loving-kindness follow me all my life. And I will make my home in Yahweh's house. Everyday." (psalm 23) * The quote is from here: mahakali.com So Yahweh is seen as "The Mother " ...hmmm ;-) * The Life of Merry old King David in more detail : newadvent.org until next time marsh
