Mark I saw what you meant but my answer is still the same. I have no need to seek paths anymore. Mine has been revealed to me. When truth goes to the core of your being it is no longer a choice to disbelieve. It is a knowledge then and not a belief or question anymore. It just saddens me to see so many good devout people being controlled by Government and dogma that is harmful to their welfare. These good people will insist I am blaspheming as I speak of Jesus. Yet to me they are blaspheming Christ when they limit the Spirit to one earthly man which is an impossibility. Remember Paul said "I met a man in Christ" yet he never made any effort to find and associate with Jesus. Paul was a Gnostic and preached an entirely different gospel from Peter. He was several years in his ministry before he sought out Peter to bring him his Gospel. He was never an Apostle and fought Christianity tooth and toenail. Paul was the only true Christian of all known as Apostles in the bible. What I really find offensive is this born in sin business and constantly brainwashing people that all are sinners creating a negative image of self to youngsters. Instead of a healthy positive attitude like " I know I'm somebody cause God don't make no junk," they create a negative image "i'm a bad person. Nothing I can do about it except as the preacher says and beg Jesus to save me but how can I ever know if he has." It's a proven fact we become what we think about and do. Each thought and action creates a reaction and if we think we are evil then its likely we will try evil things. It is morally, ethically wrong to rear a child in this manner. That is what I respect in Jewish families. Each child is taught that he is one of God's chosen people. To me even if incorrect he is started off on a positive note.
