A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God the Father.

We best teach what we most need to learn. Ye posts are usually written for 'self-reflection'. I don't think the Koran teaches that dogma (crap). The books are comedy for some; how many sixes do ye need to view? King James = 66books 39 to 27 in favor of the Old; which had much fewer early writings. 3 'same view' synoptic 'good spells'. Job, the earliest say many, and Psalms which use the title Eloah, the feminine form probably cognate with 'Il-Ilahah', contracted into a character with clarity:)

I don't need to be sure about anything. certainty is a concept believers have invented to make themselves feel better.

[osmosis321]

nobody "just knows" anything. FAIL.

It makes sense to whom it is intended for. What doesn't make sense is why someone has not figured out the mystery. You mentioned memes; and, the attachments to them make them a reality in the individual nations of heaven and earth. As for the signs and wonders, ye would not believe how many, and the nature of things i have learned and have been taught through psychic phenomenon. The miraculous number is not 6, but current theories are way wrong:) A.L.M. to be cont...
