God must be human by proxy until otherwise proven,not the other way around you dont get equality or an even break here this is how the religous disease started in the first place.
We dont stand as equals in our beliefs because I AM HERE AS YOU HERE, ARE SO MY PERSPECTIVE IS BASED IN REALITY,while yours is illusionary,you need belief and faith to affect me as it has sickened you or your ideas hold no water.
I have to give you faith and belief of my own free will ,you cannot force it from me you can lie it away but you cannot force it. I do not need to force or decieve you into believing in or having faith in anything--I AM NOT LIKE YOU--You have to lie to yourself to not see what is in front of you,you must of your free will offer faith and belief in something that isnt really there to validate an illusionary idea.Look in the mirror and tell me you were not born perfect.

Now I won't be following any new religion. I like the wonderful teachings of my Brother Yeshua, whose name from everything I can tell is Yeshua Ben Joseph, the founder of the Nazarenes, and who did not come to set up a religion run by wolves, or a rule of Law. In fact, he wrote in the sand with his finger when they brought up the Laws, to show all our universal cosmic gnostic laws and most of the laws of the land that were not basic common laws ,thou shalt not harm others, were distortions. That the True Creator(s), or Good/God Family, the true Higher Ups were watching over. And that all that is Theirs belong to each and to us, if we attempt to see the Lesson of Peace and Love before us and walk with this Spirit, and in this way.
I also love the messages of Budda and interesting writings of Vedas, and Native Indigneous Peoples.
It is the Good Work that is needed, and putting into practice, growing your consciousness, seeing through the world, saying No To War, and forgiveness that is needed.
It is sharing, and doing good by others, like the early Christians modeled. One cannot just say, Christ Jesus is my savior, if one doesnt attempt to walk in His footsteps. It is by Good Works, the fruit of the tree, we are known.
And all of this is true, whether Christ is real, or metaphor, or both. The same is said for Budda.
No, they won't be handing me another fairy tale, for they can't top the message of Love Yeshua gave us.

People claim Jesus was such a wonderful peaceful teacher, somehow they manage to over look a pile of evil passages said by him ...
John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; (those who refuse to accept him as lord this is)
Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
But look ...
Constantine called the Council of Nicea—the first general council of the Christian church, 325 A.D.—primarily because he feared that disputes within the church would cause disorder within the empire. The dispute in mind was Arianism, which was the belief that Jesus was a created being. The famous phrase they were disputing was, "There was when He was not." This was in reference to Jesus and was declared heretical by the council and thus resulted in the following words about Christ in the Nicene Creed: "God from true God…from the Father…not made." It was determined by the council that Christ was homoousia, meaning, one substance with the Father.

You see from the above, that in 325 A.D not very long after the supposed time of Christ, many in the church itself, did not believe him to be a real being!
How the canon—the Bible as we know it—was formed.
The council that formed an undisputed decision on the canon took place at Carthage in 397, sixty years after Constantine's death. However, long before Constantine, 21 books were acknowledged by all Christians (the 4 Gospels, Acts, 13 Paul, 1 Peter, 1 John, Revelation). There were 10 disputed books (Hebrews, James, 2 Peter, 2-3 John, Jude, Ps-Barnabas, Hermas, Didache, Gospel of Hebrews) and several that most all considered heretical—Gospels of Peter, Thomas, Matthaias, Acts of Andrew, John, etc.

13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world

I really believe that a (One World Faith) will never happen. With all the different religions and spiritual beliefs or lack thereof....people will never totally agree on just one world faith...to me this is the reality.

Aprilsky I love reading your perspectives,second only to witnessing the wilting of religious ideals as they have existed in the past.

In many cases it is like talking to a brick wall ... in fact I think a brick wall would understand more?

I think you've been beating around the bush with this "One World Faith". Since this is something of a personal interest for me, I feel as if I'm reading between the lines, but only you know where you're coming from. Why not just come out with it already? The thread is going to get bogged down with various offended Christians, and others, so might as well lay your cards on the table now, and really piss 'em off. Might lead to something more productive than spouting half-truths about Catholics, Masons and Jews.
BTW, I sort of think you do feel you are trying to counter evil, as you said. You get my S& F for effort, and showing passion. We'll see where this goes...

As with my post above, I have already tried to explain here on ATS but it was transferred to off topic like many religious threads are, so many probably did not get to read what it is I am trying to say.
The basic guts of it is one race in particular on Earth is the CROP which will be rounded up and given to the Gods "real beings"
From there they will be harvested (milked of their essence), not killed.
The bible is the elites secrets "hidden in plain sight" ... the parables being actually literal ... they speak of this harvest quite openly, people just don't get it or realise is all.edit on 10-7-2011 by AprilSky because: grammar

This is why atheist/agnostics shouldn't read the bible, they take things out of context. Give it up

Matthew 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
This is what is wrong with you Christians ... the bible clearly points out their is a mystery to the parables and yet you think you understand them ... laughable really!
