You're just as lost on it's meaning as this person who also claims to be God right now! The one that's trying to rewrite the Bible and it's meaning.

No one in their right mind is going to believe that those who don't adhere to the words of Jesus know him better than anyone else.
John 6 ; 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

You did not opine on if then eye be single and have no clue as to what it means so you should be the one reading the context till you can.
What makes you think you're an expert on the Bible when you claim that you don't even follow the God of that Bible?
Fail!!
Well he/she seems pretty knowledgeable to me on the subject... then again I am not an expert on the matter nor have I ever read a full religious book before. One thing that did stand out to me though is when you said this :
That's Buddhism, not Christianity. You're trying to mix the two along with mysticism. God said not to do that.
Once again, I'll remind you that when Jesus said to look within he was talking about looking for the Holy Spirit within them, not some ego inflated imagination of your own.
That was in reply to a comment made about idols and false worship... It has always bugged me this one because how can christians justify this when they idolize the cross he died on?
I see this kind of action no different than going to the temple of Apollo on summers solstice, idolizing an inanimate object.
BTW I'm just here to learn not be an arse... I apologize if my comment comes over offensive in any way.edit on 20-6-2013 by RAY1990 because: spelling error

If you read the Bible, you would know.
Quit talking to lower level spirits.

By the way, I already answered that question earlier in the thread when I mentioned when and where God would become all in all.

That only works if you have the Holy Spirit, not when you're talking to lower level spirits that teach you to do things against Jesus' words.

Christians don't idolize the cross, otherwise they would be worshiping it.
No, it's only a symbol to remind us of what Jesus did for us.

And why would a true christian need to be reminded of christ
See that is why I can never be a christian... you all put him on a pedestal and then deny that you have done it or support it.
Jesus was an equal, that is how I see it. I also believe in my heart that this is what he wanted us to do and follow not a book or church or cross. Everything is equal and comes from the one source, I mean... how can you measure holiness?
God is nowhere and now-here.

Yes. The immorality of Christians embracing human sacrifice and the notion that God's policy is to punish the innocent instead of the guilty.
You have reversed the lesson of the cross.
Jesus tells you to pick up yours and follow him but instead you have decided to put it on his back and ride him as your scapegoat into heaven.
Jesus would drop you off in hell for that.
Satan will ask you.
How was your ticket to heaven purchased? With innocent blood?
When you say yes, you become his.

Just quit attaching Jesus' name to it.

So basically, pay for your sins with your own redemption here and now?
I can live by that... I already do, If my mind is in a mental cage only I can break free from it, to blame anyone else or think anyone else can redeem me is wrong because only I can free my mind because I'm the one in control of it.
Let me know if I have this all wrong.

Everything originated from the same source, but it didn't remain with the first source. It split when one of God's creations decided to rebel against God and create his own path and followers.
