Paul I quoted the verse from Hebrews because the bible is all Steve will accept as truth. I do not say he bible is all untrue. I do aver that it is not the inspired word of God and contains much from the true religious myth which was distorted by the Romans. This verse from Hebrews was one of Paul's scriptures which slipped thru the rewrite without being changed. I do not try to get anyone to accept what I say as absolute truth because it came from me. You and others cannot comprehend this type communication. It is to make you study your beliefs and see why you have your beliefs and if there is more to your being than your animal body. It is strictly to attempt to get you to study beyond faith into fact before proselyting a false, harmful way of teaching morality. The majority of Christians are among the finest people in the world. However, in their misguided ideas, they are furthering a separation from their true being or God. It has promoted physical and intelligent might to take advantage of the physically weak and uneducated. You preach one way of life and live quite the contrary. There are God laws (or nature's law) and there are society laws. Too often we confuse the two without being aware. If you violate either it creates a cause that by both laws demands an effect. If you learn more of natural or God's laws (not bible laws) you will live a better life and create a better world. Your concept of sin is un-natural and mostly biblical. Without the law there is no sin. I only ask you to use an open mind and common sense and look at why you accept placing no real value on this life and putting all your emphasis on an abstract world to follow. Churchianity and capitalism is truly not God's way. See if you cannot think of many ways more beneficent to all society rather than just a few. I like to use Bill Gates as an example. His intelligence has amassed wealth far beyond his needs. Yet he still requires others to furnish him the necessities of life. His product is great, he is a brilliant capitalist, but his wealth makes slaves out of others. With true love for mankind could he amass this wealth while people are starving because of ignorance or lack of opportunity. We each have something to offer society and and true love is to share equally with others before sating ourselves. Capitalist greed pays CEO's untold millions while most of the producers struggle to get by. Think about it.
