Lessonteacher: this is an amazing rebuttal gotten from a book in which the "Messiah" reportedly told an audience that there are some he's talking to that would still be alive when he returns and they should run around Israel when persecuted, they won't run around much before he would be back some of those guys he's talking to are still alive over 2017 years later, running around Israel, waiting for their Messiah to come back 2 Likes |

Three or four quotes were repeated. Nice thread though. I believe there is a God. He is the universe/ nature / energy and life. He set the world in motion and hardly interferes in it . He has given us power as smaller gods to actuate the physical realm through a spiritual interface, if we can find it. That explains some religious practices and occultism. There's no evidence he desires worship, but there's evidence he desires we be good to our fellow creation; nature, plants and animals. 1 Like |
