If we follow what is being said here we should all teach ourselves brain surgery. It is certainly easier than understanding God on our own, and much less dangerous if we fail. Shalom - DLL

Hmmmm Alan I am sure your word of God says not to judge. Yet you are judging me vile. Since I know myself and you never will your faith cannot compare with the knowledge God can reveal to you. I don't ask you to accept any of this. I just hope it will lead you to understand from more knowledge and less belief. Many a man has lost 10 bucks because he had faith he would be lucky and win the lottery. My experience is Faith based on personal knowledge is far more reliable than blind faith because millions have believed the same thing. There are millions who had faith in that lottery. I studied where you are coming from and your views. Why don't you open your closed mind and prove to yourself what is true. You might start with a study of history and religions. Astrology properly understand would explain much of the things originating mans ideas of God. Until you can reach a new paradigm of thought you will never understand other humans religions. You see from a one sided view the same as me. Yours is based on faith. Mine is based on knowledge. Maybe further along our path to perfection we will advance beyond knowledge to wisdom. That is what I seek. My present awareness does not make fit your conception of the Almighty. I still am learning to overcome many mistakes. I must have knowlege of how to do it. I don't think it will come without searching. That is why I cannot accept the bible as God's word. My knowledge shows me better to my satisfaction. I do understand my lack of perfection.
