A spiritual at-oneness with the omni-present Holy Spirit can be achieved. I don’t know they have the process down yet, but the goal seems correct. <br />It has been interesting to me that an independent thinking Jew came along mixing a little Socratic wisdom and Eastern spiritualism into the Jew beliefs and laws of a single God. This “holy rascal”, if you will, stomped around the countryside as one of the people and proclaiming the traditional religion had become too pre-occupied with wealth, materialism, political power and no longer focused on what is really important; that we all have a direct spiritual connection. We don’t need an answering service.<br />BTW, the powers-that-be handled the first holy rascal a bit rough after jokes such as "Again I say to you (not afraid to reuse good material), it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." But if you double check the original translation, his last words were: “Father forgive them, they have no sense of humor.” God apparently corrected that mistake.<br />Erick Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296590207996971824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-34451962538945246502013-12-19T06:47:24.816-08:002013-12-19T06:47:24.816-08:00Love, love, love this!

There is no way to come up upon the cataclysm of giving birth with experience. It is forever new and forever a life changing passage and every delivery is as "first" as every other.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961893281142538409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-55258770459913863982013-12-18T12:37:31.901-08:002013-12-18T12:37:31.901-08:00I agree with your comment about worshipping Jesus ...I agree with your comment about worshipping Jesus rather than becoming Christ. Isn't that the point? I've always thought it was and it's what I want for myself. I think that it's there that I'll find contentment. But, there are so many negative thoughts with the old labels we place on religious/spiritual ideas that I wince at words like God, Jesus, Christ, Holy Bible, etc. I think we need a new set of labels for the ideas behind these words. But, then, I can just learn to wince at the new ones when people screw them up too.Lyn Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636394980892878583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-17431062680244725062013-12-18T09:54:22.739-08:002013-12-18T09:54:22.739-08:00Wow!
