Well thank you for taking the time to give me another complex answer. I must say that im glad my teacher isnt that complex.
Thee's message is simple....knowing we all are one....everything is one, leads one to the truth of God. God is a function, a energy, that emanates life, Thee vibration of Thee is love. Forgive others, they do not know what they do, find the lights in the darkest of souls.
You make great points about the scribes and certain things that particularly stand out to you of scriptures stand out to many others as well...but you say you are being taught....the message seems over analyzed.
Your welcome to critic me back also, anytime *smiles*
Only giving thoughts,
Just keep it simple...

In reply to the OP and any other whiners in this thread:
I think it's because there is an abundance of free thinkers here. Which includes atheists, gnostics, pantheists, occultists, etc... Many who may be pissed off after learning about the real history that has been delibrately suppressed, and still denied by many.
Is it healthy to get pissed off... not likely. but quit your whining, if only many christians understood the infuriating way they think and over look things, then perhaps the backlash could be understood. This doesn't mean all, but in my experience the majorty.
If you don't like it, tough cookies. It's not like we are going to torture you, threaten your soul, or burn you at the stake.

The organisation you support did for a very long time, and still socially harrasses people. Good thing getting excommunicated no longer makes a person an outlaw, which was basically a death penalty.
Pick up a book about the atrocities that were done to people in the name of God some time. There was no love in those actions, and I fail to see how they were in alignment with the teachings of Jesus son of Joseph.
My point is, the bad energy is coming back... and enough people have opened there eyes. A shift is happening, and it's about time.

Another question: Is the God with a big O as you call it Satan?

If this world does not exist, then why are you here, and not in your version of the Truth?

John 10:27- ""My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."
John 10:5, 8- ""Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers. 8- All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them."
It is obvious to me that christianity is a system that allows for the atrocities to happen.

Exactly, are you saying it is not today?
Another point, one that was mentioned in the OP, and one that is typically braught up by christians is this. "Look at all the good we've done. Mother Theresa, soup kitchens, this and that".
Like it's some kind of band aid to make it all better. Al Capone, back in the big depression ran soup kitchens for some PR. Making it easier to get the little man's support.
Or look at it this way. What if a Nazi supporter says. "Look at all the good we have done since. We have clean up the high way programs, youth out reach programs, Colonia Dignidad. Just never mind the genocide and ethnic cleansing. We are over that."
It is obvious to me that christianity is a system that allows for the atrocities to happen. Some good may come of it, but the harm and limitations far out weigh the good. It's my understanding that the christian relgion is one of the oldest conspiracies out there, and the bible is one of the oldest examples of propaganda.

IMO deeds won't get you anywhere.
James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?
Jame 2:26
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

How does a belief in your version of Christ, change a persons step?
How does a belief in your version of Christ, aleviate suffering?
How does a belief in your version of Christ, take care of the widow and the orphan?
Surely, any many can say he is Christ. What words christ!, have you for the Palestinians and Israel?
What words, christ!, have you for the corruption of the financial world, and the greed and materialism that plagues our planet.

You preech the way of your christ! like the story of the prodigal son. You tell us of the Bibles agenda, and its errant contents like the ways of the errant son. When people come to the truth, and should people hear you, are you not like the father in the story, welcoming him back with open arms? The jist of that story, is that there will be those who took root, and did not stray while others were found. That each time, one returns, that we should be joyous, and neither jealous or self righteous saying what a good person I was all along. Errant behavior can be found even in those that did not stray, and the lesson of the prodigal son applies well to your teachings.

Also, I checked out them books you gave me links to, and I'd much rather place my faith in the Bible, rather than people who have become millionaires off of filthy lucre by coming up with their own interpretations.
