PS >Oh - I forgot tho - you ppl don't go by the bible, you just make it up as you go along with whatever you think fits

Good point. Incorrect, though.

I for one, don't actually make it up as I go along with whatever I think fits...

I have 'come to believe' in a expansive all encompassing view of spiritual growth that takes into consideration all positive and uplifting religious views and spiritual practices, from wherever they originated, and all teachings that promote LOVE, compassion and tolerance. I discount all restrictive, dogmatic, and negative views that promote control agendas, are exclusionary, promote themselves as the 'one and only truth', and/or attempt to spread FEAR, mistrust, intolerance and negativity.

I have synthesized the positive aspects of many of the faiths I am familiar with (whether it be Bah'ai or Buddhism, Hinduism or Taoism). I have found and studied some of the original teachings of Jesus available through recently discovered Essene and Gnostic sources. (I will supply a list if requested). I have studied the history of religion, the history of man, quantum physics, metaphyical systems like the Tarot, ritual magic and the Jewish Kabbalah and so on to help define my perspective.

I also have found valuable insights through numerous esoteric studies passed down by 5th density causal plane teachers. From Edgar Cayce , to Seth to the Michael teachings etc. Traditional Christians may question (or even attribute to Satan) these sources, however that is THEIR problem, not mine. The wisdom is there for those who are awake enough to see it.

At present, my primary focus is on early Christianity. I have found what I sought, and I am busy assimilating the teachings.

And, most of the time, I feel connected to God and at one with the universe. It is something I feel in my heart. When I lose the connection though, my life doesn't go as well. It means I am off the path. In fact there are many paths back to God. Christianity is but one. The teachings of Jesus were/are deep and wondrous, but they weren't the only ones. And, the original words have been a long time coming, as they have only come to light in recent years.

At any rate:

The issue with the debates here recently seems to be between those who shed what we perceive as limitations of traditional Christianity and those who consider those 'limitations' are their core beliefs.

There will probably never be a meeting of the minds on that issue, but we can certainly still carry on a dialog.
