We each have the opportunity reflect the light by choice. Words reveal the thoughts. I try to keep wisdom and truth close by my side.

Hi EWR, By no means is this an insult, but I must say that when you claim to keep wisdom and truth close by, I hear, bible and faith. There is no truth in either of them. One is fiction, the other, a hope for something that you wouldn't want if just once you put your mind to it.
I would go further, but you are so far lost to logic that there's no point. That said, have a good night.
9. Be faithful to the light ye have, till a
higher light is given to you. Seek more
light, and ye shall have abundantly;
rest not, till ye find.
Law is not needed when the Law of
One is followed.
Galatians 3
23 Before the coming of this faith, we
were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to
come would be revealed. 24 So the
law was our guardian until Christ came
that we might be justified by faith. 25
Now that this faith has come, we are
no longer under a guardian. 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all
children of God through faith, 27 for
all of you who were baptized into
Christ have clothed yourselves with
Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor
Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all
one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to
Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise.

You are talking without talking. I can use all manner of verbs, nouns and adjectives, make a complete sentence, construct a full paragraph out of those complete sentences... and still not say a damn thing. Just like you.edit on 1-11-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

does that refer to the law? Torah? then what higher light? A new holy book? Quran?

How convinient of paul!! Forget the law, Forget what Jesus pbuh taught and told to do, just believe what i say and do nothing and you will be saved!!

so the perspective of atheist, christians, muslims and even other religions are lower truths?
Then there must be a higher truth than Jesus pbuh?
Or the philosophy fails and theology starts at that point??
Not the case. Why is the law necessary
as a guardian? If I steal something
from you, a law is needed to govern
the situation. If I suddenly discover
love and give the stolen goods back,
the debt is replaced and I will no longer steal. Love fulfills the law by
negating the need for it. You cannot
earn your way to heaven or you
would be the one boasting and not
God. A good Muslim can keep the law
as diligently as they can but still be filthy rags in the sight of God. Christ is
the intermediary to this connecting
point between matter and spirit. Love
is what Christ demonstrates by his
name and we must take the name
(Character) or we take the name in vain. The one thing the Muslim world
lacks is loving enemies. Without love,
we are still thieves taking from God.
Family is the holy triangle of Father,
Son and Mother. A break in the chain is
sickness. Issac and Ishmael must love each other or Christ will not reveal
Himself by name to either. Both are
blind. Christians have already opened
this door with love and are hated by
both brothers.
God is love and hate cannot dispel hate. Only love dispels hate. This is
why the debt that hate leaves behind
is still being paid by the brothers.
Christ pays the debt by fulfilling the
law for us and this single switch that
needs to be flipped heals the heart.
thats christian theology and there is a difference between theology and truth. All truth are true, but not all theologies.
Now God sends his message to people through prophets. And they have divine authority to say what God commands. Others however dont enjoy that privilege but obviously many claim it and many among them needs to be institutionalised.
If a theology gives others that authority and claims they are genuine according to the same theology that they made up in the first place. Its a self justifying circle and no matter how much one runs around it, he wouldnt make sense or prove it true athought get dizzy a lot!!
And you can't answer this? God is the
answer. Unity is what descends into
multiplicity so the multiple can then
rise back to unity.
Jesus is this:
1 Colossians 1:
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16
For in him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth, visible
and invisible, whether thrones or
powers or rulers or authorities; all
things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things,
and in him all things hold together.
God has a Son and He is the first born
of all creation.
I have nature on my
side. A new one always comes from
two. Sperm and egg, male and female, sun and moon, right and left and so
on. The Son is the seed that passes to
the next generation. Father is God and
Son is that seed. Spirit is what clothes
the Son.
If I can express a higher truth by
Christianity and embracing the
messenger of this truth, what should
that say to you on a lower plane with
Islam?
Information has entropy and because
of this, bits are lost over time. This does not imply that we cannot find
them again.
that means Unity or Oneness of God "Tawheed" is a higher truth than multiplicity or trinity! Glad to know that. And so Islam is touching higher truth and waiting for christianity to catch up.
Theology is the box we hold and the
map of the territory. It is our frame of
reference and location on the degrees
from the top. Your messenger says
this:
Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what
you would have them do to you, for
this sums up the Law and the
Prophets.
You may ignore this truth and simply
say that the Bible has been changed. This is the Islamic cop-out when
confronted by Jesus actual words. I
simply show you the alternative.
Aleister Crowley
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole
of the Law." We can't have it both ways. We can't
do unto Jews and Christians as WE will
and not as God's will. What is God's will
do you suppose?
What I am saying in all of my threads is
this: Taking makes you a thief. Giving and Receiving makes you a joy in the
eyes of God. What did Jesus say?
You are not against me because I lack
juxtaposition beside God. You are
biased against me by ignoring the
truth. We should both seek the light of truth together. This is what love does.
It honors the other and seeks to rise
up to and never back down toward
ignorance. I refuse to sink.

Not quite. God is way ahead of you as my distal phalanges are pushing words quicker than either of us can see where He's going.
Are you the Hunted or the Hunter?
Answer the question and you know which one God juxtaposes beside Himself. The one plowing and tending the vineyard is the answer.
what you say is a bit confusing and a lot play of words.
I actually believe and love the law, "do to others as you want to be done to you"
i dont ignore the truth and i am not biased to you.
I am just biased to self justifying philosophy that refuses to see any other point of view.
farming and hunting are just two ways to fulfil the needs.
One is not better than the other. God provides in many ways. making one above another to make it fit a philosophy is smart but just an opinion in the end.

what i want to make you see is your philosophy is completely separate and you just sprinkle Jesus's name or christianity to validate them by you philosophy and if thats not enough then you also quote paul to prove what paul said is true!!!
And if even that is too complicated for you to get, simply put you want to prove your theology as right, you quote the book from where you learnt that theology.
Do you see the circle? Its not a spiral upwards, its a circle.
I wouldnt quote Quran to you and if i do, you would just disregard it, then why you quote me paul?? And expect me to agree.
"do to others as you want to be done to you"
be consistent, either no scriptures or respect both scriptures. But as we wouldnt be arguing if you agreed about Quran as divine Word of God, so we are left with one choice.edit on 3-11-2012 by logical7 because: (no reason given)
6. So it is with Truth. I am the Truth and the Way and the Life, and have given to you the Truth I have received from above. And that which is seen and received by one, is not seen and received by another. That which appeareth true to some, seemeth not true to others. They who are in the valley see not as they who are on the hill top.
7. But to each, it is the Truth as the one mind seeth it, and for that time, till a higher Truth shall be revealed unto the same: and to the soul which receiveth higher light, shall be given more light. Wherefore condemn not others, that ye be not condemned.
8. As ye keep the holy Law of Love, which I have given unto you, so shall the Truth be revealed more and more unto you, and the Spirit of Truth which cometh from above shall guide you, albeit through many wanderings, into all Truth, even as the fiery cloud guided the children of Israel through the wilderness.
9. Be faithful to the light ye have, till a higher light is given to you. Seek more light, and ye shall have abundantly; rest not, till ye find.
10. God giveth you all Truth, as a ladder with many steps, for the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth which seemeth to day, ye will abandon for the higher truth of the morrow. Press ye unto Perfection.
11. Whoso keepeth the holy Law which I have given, the same shall save their souls, however differently they may see the truths which I have given.
