HIGHGREEN109

Maybe you are more poetic however I think you understand my point. I respect and admire those who remain faithful to their beliefs, their paths and do so without violence. If you find yourself in need of trying to deny another persons truth then maybe your are really just trying to justify your own. Belief comes from the heart, and the ability to have faith is a hard path but those who I have met and known who fall into that category are enriched, kind and curious individuals. There is no right or wrong on the journey. Ghandi was no less spiritual as an individual than Father Epps but he spread a word or faith, belief and peace. He never spoke a word telling another that what they believe was wrong. I am also as you say "dumb" but I do know what I feel, key words being I feel and hope "you feel" what is in your heart and follow that path. I only wish that for all and to do so in peace without the need to diminish others.

Why are you starting a new topic to respond to responses on other replies?

If not familiar with this system, under each post is a reply button.

So much nicer to keep a complete topic in one topic thread.

Study your history. Ghandi was neither a man without hate or without violence. He indeed hated at least on group and condoned violence upon them.

Hinduism a religion based on not caring, but self absorbtion and isolation.

True Biblical Christianity is not a religion that believes in initiating violence on others. But it recognizes the times where self defense is needed.

Faith indeed comes from the heart. But wisedom says that faith must be based on Truth, not personal desire or ones one standards. It must come from God and not self.

Not all who have faith are enriched. Some are perverted and distorted by faith in the wrong thing.

Islamics possess great faith, but they most assuredly are not enriched, kind or curious. Their beliefs are intolerant of any considerations but there own.

If find it amazing those who have your mind set just shove aside reality to embrace the vision of what all religions are and how they are in harmony. Truly, that is faith statement not based in reality.

No right or wrong? No truth or lie? Does not matter that religions are totally alien to each other? Still they all lead to the one and on god?

Sorry, that is thinking based on self want. Not reality, logic or reason.

And don't discuss religion? Just embrace and uphold all as equal?

For me to uphold all would require me to deny Christ. Or an Islamic to deny Mohammed.

No. It is far better to think, examine and analyse. For the one true God does not uphold, honor or accept those who deny him as he declares himself.

Your insistence PTC Guy that your religious faith is favored by God above all others---i.e. Muslim, Taoist, or even Christians who understand that God loves and invites all to His worship---is reminiscent of the little boy, Johnny, who is so insecurely self-centered that he does not know how to share precious love with others.

Little Johnny insists to his older sister that their mother loves him most of all.

His sister, understanding what the great bounty of love is, gives him a hug and affectionately kisses him on the head and says, “Yes Johnny, mother loves you the most.”

PTC Guy, God loves you most.

Not debating your illogic here.

You have a link to a site for these kind of things. It has a wysiwyg editor to allow for presentations and easier posting.

So, as stated before. Bring all the help you want and debate it there.

Dear TCP Guy:

You seemed to be so desperate to be loved best-of-all that I didn’t want you to miss it. So once again, God loves you most of all. (Of course God loves everyone most of all, but best keep it a secret from you).
