    Jesus=Jehovah=Elohim=Father in Mormonism?

    http://www.gnosis.org/gnintro.htm I think Gnostic metaphysics tends to take care of most of the contradictions within Christian Theology. According to Gnostics, YHWH is a demiurge, a half-creator who exists between the true god (the ALL) and man. If you check out the above website, it will...

    1. What is our purpose here on earth?

    If you ask the sky a question, do you really expect an answer? Maybe we created the idea of having a purpose, since most of the things we create are for a specific function. We are not tools. A screwdriver is for, well... screws, and a hammer is for pounding stuff. Humans are enzymes for...

    Decline of Western civilisation ...

    When was western civilization ever in its prime? As far as I can remember, colonialism, the spanish inquisition, roman conquest, the nuclear bomb....i mean, please. It peaked at Plato.

    What is your view on getting in to Heaven?

    Gospel of Thomas, Nag Hammadi:113. His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?" Jesus said to them, "It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see...

    Video Games Kill?

    When mom spends all day at the office, and dad works the graveyard shift, what is little johnny to do, but wander off a cliff? He has no trees to climb, no fields to till, no land to explore. All he has are mosaics of concrete and circuitry to replace the attention his parents give to money and...

    Spiritual snobbery as debate

    The more fervently we defend an idea, the more we display our need for that idea to live our life in a happy delusion; that we are in complete control. The truth is, everything beyond our perception can only be a maybe. But what good are maybes when absolutes are much more efficient at inspiring...

    A Cure For Homosexuality

    :idea:That cure is fascism. However, fascism also tends to "cure" other serious diseases such as peace, barbequeues, and art. Oh yeah, and freedom of speech. And books, like the big black ones Christians like to read. Those burn well in a good old fire. Once that fire is lit, boy, don't people...

    The difference between persecution and discrimination

    May I humbly suggest that there be two separate forums: one for persecution: which is the ACTIVE, often violent oppression and torment of a group one for discrimination: which is a PASSIVE, generally nonviolent suppression and disregard for a group the distinction is important for those who...

    the 'M' Word

    does sex really have to be so practical?:scratch: to make a connection here between gluttony and lust.... We don't have to eat three meals a day consisting of only what is essential for the body, like clockwork. That's unnecessary. But it is prudent not to overeat all the time, every day...

    I have a big problem

    Ok. Do you really see yourself being involved with this woman for a long time? This doesn't sound like a healthy relationship, however, there seem to be many things going on here behind the scenes. Scenario #1 - Youth pastor's wife may be lesbian, but she has not told her husband. Scenario...

    Oh yes the S word

    beware not to confuse the idea of "sin is forever" with the idea of virginity in your activity, because the youths may become confused. If the egg can't be put back together, then can they be forgiven after any sin?
