Mark 10
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Teaching that the flesh is always in conflict with the spirit is to separate the husband and wife. God has joined your body (wife) and spirit (husband) together, do not separate them by dividing the house. A house divided cannot stand.

What happened to a faith in a God form; why does "Jesus" have to be the interloper BEACON Expression of God? I communicate with 'god' everyday without a "PUNDIT" telling me how to do so.
Seede: You might have misunderstood me. What I write is my opinion. I am not an authority in the matter of God or any religion. In fact if you believe you are right and I am wrong then you are entitled to believe what ever you want to believe. You could be right and I could be wrong. You and I will simply have to wait and see.

"Paul was a coward riding the coat tails of a [start up] belief system he thought could gain him MONEY and ALLOCAIDES (all of this happened)."
Seede: I don't believe that at all. Paul was a well educated and brilliant Sanhedrin judge with great wealth and established reputation. He had nothing to gain and in fact forsook all of his wealth in the ministry to propagate God through Jesus. Paul had no connection to the formation of the Christian church whatsoever and held no office of authority in the church. In fact he was not supported by any organization and earned his own living by tent making.
Seede: After his conversion he was not connected to the Roman government at all except that he was free born. In fact the Romans were the very ones that held him in prison and beat him and left him for dead. The Roman Catholic Church was not even thought of at this time so I do not understand where you got the idea that he was a shill for Rome or formed any part of the Catholic Church.
Seede: Yes Paul did promote the belief of one God and he has never ever said that Jesus was God. In fact Christianity was never founded on the belief that Jesus was God. Jesus was never God and true Christianity will never tell you that Jesus was God. Jesus is recorded as saying that He was the begotten Son of God but never God Himself.
Paul says if you sin against God then that's ok because Jesus died for your sins. Then he says in Romans 13 that if you resist (not obey) the powers that be, you receive condemnation since there is no power except God's so God put them there to be obeyed. Paul seems to be more concerned with people following Rome than God.
Text The establishment of a 'Christian church' was the last thing he anticipated to happen (THE WORST THING that could have come out of his crucifixion). The Joke was on him; as he did not want yet another political party wielding power against others.

Seede: Mat_16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Jesus is recorded as referencing His church 9 times in the new testament while He was alive. In total there are 80 references of church in the new testament.

Just because God created all that doesn't mean everyone choose to abide in Truth. The beast is wicked.

GOD created branches on trees for a reason yet Mankind saw the - perhaps fallen - Branch as a Weapon that's used to maybe Hit someone. It is Mankind who has the ability to see right from wrong, and yep, its Wrong that is usually seen to be used.
Jesus was not speaking of the material world at all, but the astral world (the kingdom) were we are eternal and can interact with the God force at will. If one is monotheistic, there is only one that also created/allowed the idea forms of Allah, Buddha, and YHWH so all are correct; and should be recognized. There is no one better than the other, space and time dictated these concepts to pop into being for a reason (keep the peace?). I think we disagree as to exactly what "Kingdom" he was speaking of is all. As a fully 9 dimensional being he knew what the afterlife entailed (not much different than this one just less a 'heavy matter' 3D experience).

Seede: True Christianity is not Buddhism and it most certainly is not Islam. Neither of these two religions are the same as Christianity nor can they be the same structure as the doctrine of Christ Jesus. Both deny the Begotten Son of God who is the Word of God. The Son and Father are one and the same and to deny one is to deny both. Separation of the two is impossible and is not shown as any other means. What you postulate is impossible to Christian theology.
Seede: If you believe that all three or more are of the same God then that is your choice but is called double minded in the teachings of the Apostles of Jesus. To say that Jesus gave his life for some and not others is not the teachings of His Apostles. John 3:16 teaches us that any one who believes the doctrine of Jesus can have everlasting life. It does not teach that have a choice of different avenues to everlasting life. It's all your call.
