MizMyColi: And what are the rewards of love? |
Re: OPINION: Violence Is Not Part Of God's Nature. by MizMyColi(f): 7:23pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Phew Phew!!! Now that everyone has gone to sleep, I should ramble a bit. I am mizmycoli; life and love my religion. My name is Adannaya; I am my Father's Daughter. I've tried to fit in somewhere, belong, but I don't actually. I haven't tried satanism tho'.......won't. ![]() I still got scales of religion in me, a huge chunk's falling off though. Somehow, a bible that made so much sense 1 year ago now has a lot of contradictions. At this phase, a lot of themes seem confusing, especially scriptures, the same ones I used to hold dear and defend, albeit blindly.......... Right now, I don't believe in the God of religion(s) anymore. I just know that there's a creator who's interested in those he created. This I have seen evidenced in my life many times. Okay, now I'm saying this at the risk of sounding foolish, even to self. Lolest ![]() ![]() For some strange reason, I'm smiling and grinning right now.......... Owh, I gerrit now. I've just been reminded of what matters most. While I may never be totally cured of religion in this age, I've dedicated my life, my being, to living a life filled with Love, filled with compassion, I could never go wrong towing that path. Sounds lofty and too good to be true, ey? Well, I'm already on the path......I intend to get there. |

Kay17: Rewards? Jeez, are you for real? Love in itself is a reward, imo. Especially seeing as humans aren't inclined "to love" In other news, I see you dodged a very important question........ I came bare. I bared my mind as to what I believe and even unknowingly retrogressed to defending a religion/system I've lost confidence in. You could tell me yours and we'd keep conversing or........... ![]() LoL. |

MizMyColi: You have started your journey to the discovery of God, remain sincere and pursue peace and love with men and beast, in time when He affirms you, He will show Himself to you. You are on the right path. It will not be an easy journey, but if you are willing, He will help you, He is the one who is calling you to Himself, afterall. 2 Likes |

pickabeau1: Now look around you, aren't you seeing the stones being hurled? No one in this effing section understands what Grace or Love is. Just bunch of deluded scientology-esque minority cabal of rabids and fanatical semi-illiterates who attack, ridicule and denigrate anyone who has the chutzpah to question their weak chain of thoughts. Heraclitus concept is philosophical and also scientific. It simply defines a situation which the existence or identity of a thing (or even situation) depends on the co-existence of at least two conditions which are opposite to each other, yet dependent on each other. He doesn't have to bridge Atheism and Theism, common sense should be explaining few things to you at this stage. Even when we all present contradicting views about God, Life, Humanity etc, we still share something(s) in common, don't we? Something has got to link us up, something has to over-look our differences and bind us together. It's that one thing MizmyColi has tagged 'Grace'. So what are you really on about? 1 Like |

MrPresident1: LoL, Thanks. Thank you. Those are my thoughts exactly. Okay, I should share this with you. Something just happened not quite long ago. I left the office a bit late cos I had to finish dead lined stuffs. Getting buses at night in this part of the world is something else. I'd actually struggled to entered one, the guy was still in motion and I hopped in (I'm not so Aje-butter-ish afterall ![]() In the process, the upper part of my head collided with the upper part of the door in such a way that my neck bone and head was really affected. Other people, were in the bus and didn't really care, I put my head down and was almost at the point of tears, then he touched me slightly and showed so much concern, so much. He be like: Are you okay? Sick? Did you hit your head somewhere? Do I get down and get you cold water, do you have a headache? Stress in this country is too much.....Sorry ehhnnn. My dear, as I bent my head there, tears flowed freely. I was kinda awed at such kindness and grace. I remember being that way and even more to total strangers and people be looking at me like - Huh?! ![]() Now I understand how they must have felt. I was amazed today. I've not been treated with such kindness by a Total Stranger in recent times. Oops, I didn't just bore you, did I? ![]() Thanks for listening/reading ![]() ![]() |

pickabeau1: Mate get yourself a dictionary or better still shut your gob. I don't have to keep regurgitating lines that have been served to you lot by Coli, hence I'd advice you make use of common sense. I brought Heraclitus into the fray, cos he was someone that believed that opposites can be united. Something most of the nitwits here wouldn't just agree to. 1 Like |

musKeeto: Really? Your miseducation is the reason why you'd spew rëtarded lines such as ''Neither upwards and downside exists'' You should go home, find a long rope and a strong beam to tie it to. The community that sponsored your formal education would be regretting their decision by now. |

Re: OPINION: Violence Is Not Part Of God's Nature. by Kay17: 8:48pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
MizMyColi: I said I wasn't a Christian, I can easily be identified as an atheist. I don't like labels either, they are too restrictive and suffocating. Hope you realize that the fact you 'love' others, does not imply they 'love' you in return. Sometimes people 'love' in order to be 'loved'. i'm afraid and wary of love because it is born and derives its joys from the instinct to possess. |

AirborneLacer: Victim of what You r d one looking for people for people to fight online with coli happy for the help You are the one insulting and still calling others victims.... Have fun... Since she 'eschews' violence and preaches grace while applauding the carnage u so love....you can continue doing the honours.... More grace to both of you |
Re: OPINION: Violence Is Not Part Of God's Nature. by Nobody: 8:55pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
AirborneLacer:There are other sections to attend to if this one pisses you off. My only offence was pointing out the error in the OP as it related to Jesus, which I believe I have done successfully as the op has suddenly gone defensive the last few posts. Insults are not new on this section. I just find you very boring. Really. |

Re: OPINION: Violence Is Not Part Of God's Nature. by Kay17: 9:09pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
MizMyColi: I'm getting more curious by the minute, what substantiates your conviction in a God when you realised the old one of organised religion was a distorted one. Isn't it ideal, you have wipe your mind and make it a clean slate and open with the curiosity to explore and discover? |
Re: OPINION: Violence Is Not Part Of God's Nature. by MizMyColi(f): 9:10pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Kay17: LoL Thanks for coming out straight. ![]() Well, you see, while it is hard o, I try not to expect love when loving. I think it's perfectly normal to love and expect to be loved in return, there's really nothing to be ashamed about in that. Love anyway............... But then like C.S Lewis said, "If I find in myself desires which cannot be fulfilled/found in this world, the only logical explanation is that I'm made for another world. I subscribe to the story of Jesus of the bible........that kind of love where people are spitting at you and all you're doing is offering them forgiveness......taking their guilt upon yourself....... Okay, I wasn't there when it all went down, but I kinda buy that idea..........whether it really happened or not. I want to love people and animals and things in such a way that is out of this world. I want to see myself operate from that level where, even when the whole world is jabbing and spitting on me, all I can bring myself to think of is - "Forgiveness" "Give Them Grace" True, in our world today, love in its rawest form is more like wishful thinking. But I believe, that we can. I may not achieve that perfect love status in this age. I'll die trying to. Okay, I'm really not sure why you're still conversing with me, especially seeing as I've made apparent my confusion and ignorance/fundamental misunderstanding, I was even accused of worshipping it. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, please, forgive my asking, but, why are you still conversing with me? Especially seeing as you clearly don't subscribe to my "lofty ideals".......... Perchance, is ridiculing me and what I stand for part of your motive? |
