Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.

So either I sell my soul for eternal servitude, or sell my soul for eternal agony.
No thanks.
Have faith in God and love others as you want to be loved. It's really not that hard. Place your hope in God and not in yourself. You do two things. You think and move. God produces the rest around you.
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

As always..... I enjoy your thoughts, wisdom and perspective.
Thanks for sharing the video.... will watch it later and come back with comments.
I do want to add though... while I am listening to the video...
When you say Baptism... please explain what Baptism means to you in your own words. I think others who do not know your belief as I do will be confused.
Also, are you thinking the end of Dec. is something that will manifest into our reality as the different predictions circulate throughout the world and on the net? I am thinking there will be nothing catastrophic to happen... I could be wrong but I just don't see it.
The video seems to be "new age". Are you like me and think the new age is old news?
Please share more of your thoughts.... I have read all of your threads so I have an idea but still like for you to put your thoughts into perspective because each verse in the Bible has a different meaning for different people and rightfully so.

That's what "God" is asking for, right? Our souls? Complete surrender of everything we are and everything we have? All for a promise. A promise that when he decides to destroy everything, he'll spare us so we can serve him in his kingdom forevermore.
That sounds really tempting.

2,000 years of "faith in God" and the world has really changed for the better, hasn't it? Napalm, nuclear weaponry, armed submarines, Apache helicopters

Inspiring thread, as always Enoch.
It seems some are confused about serving and servitude.
Those who overcome the material, earthly side of their natures through our Savior Jesus Christ will, during the millenium, rule and reign with Him. I don't see that as servitude, but serving those who are living on earth during the 1000 years of peace. Serving in the sense that our legislators serve us now, but with righteousness not the self-serving ways of some of our public servants today.
Enoch, you have an interesting premise regarding the seven trumpets and Psalms 113-119. My question to you is: do you see the rapture in any of these Psalms?
I believe we are in the birth pangs with wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes in divers places. I just wonder how long the birth pangs last and when the true wrath begins. And also, where does the Church (Body of Christ) fit in?

The bible is a very desecrated record that has been altered to suit the political needs of the Holy Roman Empire.....
It is missing even books which Jesus quoted in his sermons.....
The story is NOT complkete nor is it accurate...
Read the book of Enoch for starters.....
Too many people fail to take the the books at their words and add meanings and interpretations of their own construction....
The few who know the truth, are all long dead now...or are keeping their silence.
Understand that Mithraism is very similar to the Christ story...among others.....Christ consciousness lies within us....untapped for the most part.....
Theres nothing to do but wait and see is there?
Meanwhile, we all share the knowledge of right and wrong.....this is inherent knowledge in our DNA.
It is NOT what we have been taught by false priests and preachers the world over.
