I asked my brother the other day, suppose after I am dead and buried next to a tall person, 5,000 years from now, what would they assume about me? Would they define me as being elf like, because I am so short?
That's funny! I was talking yesterday to the family, and was wondering what future Archeologists will think when they dig up our landfills, and find all of the plastic in them?
You know, WarminIndy, I like you, you have a nice way of asking questions, and a nice personality, something perhaps colbe should work to achieve. I take it you live in Indianapolis? I used to live in Monticello, about 100 miles north. Cold up there this time of year.

Thank you LunaKat. I do try to be nice and prefer to think of myself as nice. My brother got me to playing World of Warcraft, and even as that, I still feel guilty when killing animated characters.

WarminIndy, I wanted to leave your quote but it doesn't give me enough room to write. But I'm referring to your post above.
That is all great because you're following what you believe is right. What you call an attribute I call a facet of the totality. Imagine the Light that people often talk about in near death experiences. To me, the Divine is that Light --all that energy. I think that energy is too big for any one faith or any one book to encompass. I think everyone here was slices of it and they tell their slice. And where people agree on the same piece of truth you might find worship or a religion.
Pagans look at all the stories...Christians mostly concentrate just on the Bible if they even read that. And that is an entire book, and a hefty one at that. Even with the size of the Bible it is not clearly written. And its very problematic. You would think a book of that size would have been written better, at least thats what I think. Further, its the story of a people from Israel. Whats our connection to Israel? The only connection I can see is that they spread their local religion far and wide. And others may have spread to other lands but not nearly on the same scale as Christianity did. And for anyone reading that Bible they have to understand that those people are different in many ways than we are. Their culture was different, the way they handled the problems of society was and still is different. Thats why a lot of it causes so much bickering today.
Many Pagans pull all the stories together to see if there is a larger picture or a even greater truth among all the worlds beliefs. Reading and trying to learn what went before gives us a clearer picture. But it takes getting away from a narrow view. Why read only one part of our religious history (what came out of Israel)? Thats like reading one chapter of any novel and deciding that the one chapter is the whole story. Christianity is like a chapter.
But certainly as spiritual people we will gravitate to what has meaning in our own life. And thats what you do and that is fine. Colbe accuses me of mixing Catholism, Protestant and Pagan beliefs together. Well I don't live in a cave. I've lived a life, I"m in my early 50s. I've been exposed to various teachings and so I speak as one would who was. I think Colbe either doesn't have the same opportunities in life to do that or he chooses not to. And so he comes from a extremely narrow view. You do look, you still find meaning in Christianity and thats good. What is right for you is not right for me. And I will only debate you when there are claims made that have been made by Christianity that are simply untrue.
I think that you and your brother and the way you treat everyone, even those who don't agree with you speak very well of your spiritual path. You're not the type that goes to church just to impress the neighbors or to get more business. I think you walk your talk So I like hearing what you have to say WarminIndy.

You may be living in a fairytale that you perceive as reality and the only way out of it is with truth. Open mindedness helps my friend. How hard is it for an interdimensional being to get to Earth. Interdimensional being human YOU as HUMANS sense a higher heaven or lower hell dimensions

Not trying to be a jerk, but does anyone else see the irony in a person supporting christanity and preaching about open mindedness?

Exactly, flattering those who mock Christ and follow paganism, witchcraft and New Age. Pray for their conversion and the ridiculous "so called" Christians.
Our Lord said in the prophetic again...over and over to bring souls to Him
on their day, October 31st, 2011:
Jesus:
...There are many today who are following the evil one with the result that they are far from Me. If you follow the New Age movement, the Jehovah Witnesses, Wicca, or any other sect and do things like Reiki you can be possessed by evil spirits and they will carry you to hell. I call you all who have entered these non-Christian sects to get out of there as soon as possible and come back to Me. You know that Islam is not Christian and the Jewish religion is opposed to Me. All should get out of these religions and come and enter My Church and follow My teachings and you will be saved. I am the only Savior who came into the world to bring you all to heaven. It is absolutely necessary that you believe in Me and accept Me as your Savior...
Colbe, we aren't going to win them all. Sometimes you have to accept that.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

I would also like to point out, for those who don't know... the bible isn't a book, it is a cannon. It is a COLLECTION of books and letters and scribes and scrolls from different sources all admitting to the reality of Jesus all put into one book..
In other words, there is more evidence for the existence of Jesus than some other people that we claim to be true in history...
I am admiring all your great posts. You are well switched on about Faith. It is so good to see all this Christian witnessing going on here at ATS. I am so glad an happy to see it. Peace be with you, OP!

You are off topic again Colbe. The topic is not about channeled messages, converting souls to Christianity or what you believe is coming. Can you read what this topic is about?? Those are also the words of ordinary people who you pose as being Jesus' words. Seers, visionaries CHANNELERS. Try the 2012 forum or something. These seers and visionaries you spam us with weren't around at the time the Bible was written or the time Jesus lived. It has no relevance to our topic.

Words from Christ today prove He exists. Never could prove your female goddess exists.
The thread topic is about whether you believe in Christ or not. Despise not
prophecy states Scripture. God reveals Himself more fully through the prophetic.
You never quit, I can't help it you deny Christ and now His words.

I wish people would read it WarminIndy,
Maybe I'll post that heart wrenching message from Jesus again. The one given
Light of Mary, the Brazilian seer. Our Lord is God, He knows what is ahead. Look
to Jesus, it is the only way. Everyone needs His grace, otherwise we will not make it through the Great Tribulation to begin near the end of 2012.

Hi Autowrench If you'd like to tell us about your miracle, would love to hear about it. I'm not challenging to state it in the way that Colbe does. I mean only if you want to share. I know your son has seen miracles with his healing work.
OK, honest question. My son and I were at a friend's house, drinking coffee. His wife came out from the bedroom, and laid down on the sofa. The whole right side of her face was swollen, she had a bad abscessed tooth, and it was a Sunday. Misty laid there, groaning, as he told us that she had been that way all night, and could not sleep. My son and I went over to her, and asked if we could help. She knew us well, and rolled over to her back, nodding. My son placed his hand on her head, and I did too, and I said aloud this prayer:
"My Goddess, please help this girl, see her in this pain? she needs your help, please."
As I looked down, the swelling began to go down. In just a few minutes, Misty was smoking a cigarette and had a cup of coffee, and was talking to us. The next day she went to her dentist. He asked her which tooth was bothering her, for he saw no abscess at all, and her teeth looked fine.
There have been other times, but sufficed to say, she does help people who ask for help. I have even seen Her, in circle, Her white robes swirling about Her, and such pure love emitting from her. Of course, this was a astral manifestation of Her, but good enough for me. I have told several Christians about this, but of course to them if it ain't nicely tanned Jesus, then it must be a Demon, you know how they are.
The Mother has been good to me though the years, I had a broken back and neck, and was told I would never walk again. I didn't listen, I just depended on Her to give me strength to do this myself. When I need money, work always appears, see, I still have to work for it, a mind controlled congregation doesn't put money in a plate for me. I asked Her for a new wife after a nasty divorce, and spelled out just what I wanted, and behold, I got just what I asked for.
I can see why the Church tried to demonize Her, and why they murdered a great many of Her followers, the Church was ran by MEN, and still is, so Woman were made out to be evil.
