It certainly is good
to have finally found out that Christianity is nothing more than just tradition, ritual and culture and that all the things which the Bible says about

speak to their
heart or mind or tells them what
to do or calls people or chooses people or has a plan for people's lives whether they are in an altered state of consciousness / transcendent state or whether they are in an unaltered cognitive state.

Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards
to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that
God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position
to receive
Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes
to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength
to do things on his own what his response
to follow the way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is
speaking to him
to go another way means death.Getting back
to the two situations of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our
hearts on the one our love for sin and on the other the desire
to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have
to submit
to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder
to deal with because it is linked in

God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first
to change our way of thinking.brentnz

Gary; we become the words we

to say
to Jesus: O we love you Jesus, but not what you preach: Jesus said; if you love me you would do what I say: We would heed
to His words and not depart from them: Jesus is the Word of
God become flesh, how can you separate us who are also grafted into His Word by the Holy Spirit: Now
to also separate us from the one that man also said was a lunatic (Jesus) because of His words: Truly, this is what it means
to have Christ form in us, and that is why we now are not received by those of this world: Thank - you Gary, In Jesus name Alexandria:
Gil you have asked some very good questions why does bad things happen in the world i personally do nt know
God did nt explain
to Job either why he had
to suffer.What i do know is that
God desires that none of us should perish but that all would have eternal life in him through Jesus Christ.This world will one day pass away and the real world will be reborn so our focus as christians is on whats
to come and being a witness in the here and now.Both good and bad happens
to either the righteous or the sinner so what are we
to make of that.What we do know is that
God will set all things right at the appointed time the wicked will be judged and the righteous will be rewarded for there faith isnt that enough reason for us
to believe.Free will is only a reality if we can choose between good and bad but our
hearts are deceitfully wicked we naturally are inclined toward sin that is another reason whyt we need
to be saved from ourselves so what are we
to do.For me Christ died and rose again that is a fact witnessed by over 500 people that were alive at the time and was recorded by historians how many other religious leaders do you know that did that or did the miracles that Jesus did.As far as the bible is concerned much of the archelogical evidence has proven
to be correct and many of prophetic words
spoken many hundreds of years ago have come
to pass including both the birth and the death of Jesus.Interested in what philosophy you are believing in if other than a faith in Jesus Christ so how does that philosophy give you the assurance that you are saved.Its really simple with christianity we just have
to believe in Jesus Christ.brentnz
