Steve. BEHOLDING him takes away the sin of this world, NOT his death!

Steve, that eternal separation is of our own making. As soon as we think God is not within, we become separated. As soon as we put him in the sky and don’t see that our heart is his dwelling place, we cut ourselves off from him and he is unable to work in our lives. The devil is none other than our carnal minds, and as long as we give our minds the authority in our lives, our imaginations can dream up all sorts of beings for us to fear. And those fears will drive us. As God said to Adam ‘who told you?’ Steve, it’s your mind dictating all these horrors to you, (twisted thought/ entertaining the snake) and it began as soon as we entertained the thought that we could be as God by our own doing. That is man, the god of this world we live in. BUT STEVE, there is another realm within you, and as you go to that place within you will find it – and in that new world there is no fear, just love, peace and joy. Have no fear said JC, just use your mind from your heart (metanoia – translated wrongly as ‘repent’), and follow me. Try it Steve and all those imaginings will disappear as TRUTH is revealed to you from the spirit that DWELLS within you.

Doug you said ‘Audrey, as much as i love the sound of this new world u speak of, my common mind tells me that the God that loves me sent his only boy here to give me, joy, peace and the desire to share his love with others.
Audrey, God only sent one boy. he lived on this earth like 33 yrs, and even Jesus ( the son of God ) couldn’t leave without dieing.
Your statement above comes from 2 distinctly different places. This comes from your heart ”Audrey, as much as i love the sound of this new world u speak of”. The rest comes from you head, even as you said yourself. Doug, stay awhile with where the first part came from, the feeling to make this statement, without your mind chipping in and making all the ‘but-but’ noises. What feelings rose from contemplating this new world? Did you feel some hope as that loving enveloping feeling began to well up inside you? Stay awhile longer with that feeling and allow the spirit to tell you of himself and open up this new world to you, because this is the world that that boy came to show us.

Bruce,

From sin, death, and the devil.

From eternal seperation from God (which the Bible mentions) in many places.

Steve, what are you saved from?

Bruce,

Nothing at all that I have done… it is what Christ has done for me and the faith He has given me to believe it that saves me.

Steve, how can you be sure you are not among the “lost”? Is it because of something you have done (accepted, professed, confessed, etc.)? And if so, how can you be sure you have done it well enough, completely enough, and correctly enough?

It seems to me that when we lean on our own understanding, we are subject to the weaknesses of that understanding. What if we removed ourselves from the equation and simply trusted that God was never angry with us in the first place? Believing that or not believing it doesn’t change our standing with God, but does save us from ourselves and our debilitating fears.

Mindy,

Thanks for your thoughts.

I pray for all that lost, that He will find them and make them His own.

The dance each of us do as we journey though this life, will always be different, but the rhythm of gods love will always be the same.
Listen to the music

Audrey, you speak of a new world, a world that we can live in without dieing. A place of enlightenment, that goes back 7000 years, far before Jesus walked this world. You say that if we look deep enough inside our self we can be part of this , that we will see him and be part of him. You say the pain i have felt is not by chance, but by design.
Audrey, as much as i love the sound of this new world u speak of, my common mind tells me that the God that loves me sent his only boy here to give me, joy, peace and the desire to share his love with others.
Audrey, God only sent one boy. he lived on this earth like 33 yrs, and even Jesus ( the son of God ) couldn’t leave without dieing.
I dont think my pain is by design, but i do think that my pain is an emotion God gave me , so that i can always remember the beauty, the sweetness, and the love of my brother.

Love always
