    Accuracy in Communicating Beliefs to Christians

    From your posting I think you may consider Deism. It does not eradicate a Supreme Being or God, Creator of the Universe and that God governs by Natural or Spiritual Laws. Deism has no church and no official organization, hence, it is not considered a religion. It is more a reason-based view...

    I am not in position to verified the list of attributes to be true or false due to the fact that I have no great knowledge on Egyptian Gods, as I said in my first post I was perplex when I read the book for the first time, as I never had hear such thing before, continuing my search I come across...

    Former Christian, now Agnostic

    I think a lot of people feel like you feeling, when they come to some challenges in life they pray and pray, and when they don’t get a response they lose faith in the God they pray to. To me prayer works, however the way I see prayer maybe a little bit different than they way others see prayer...

    Former Christian, now Agnostic

    Chris regarding the existence of God, here is my personal point of view and approach to the existence of God. In a book a read a few years back, I found the following; You go to a quantum physicist and you say; what creates the world? And he or she will say energy. Well describe Energy...

    Jesus Before Age 30

    Jesus Before Age 30

    I don’t know if Patrick Campbell of "The Mythical Jesus", is a Christian or not, I just come across his book trying to found out about the 18 years of Jesus absence. I did not say Jesus is a carbon copy of anyone, I said I was surprise to found a book with so many similarities in their...

    Good Translations Of Non-Christian Texts

    Sith this is a link to a site where you can find almost every ancient book from any religion to do some of your research. I don’t know exactly how the translation was made, maybe they explain that somewhere, but at least if you want to read some particular religious texts, I am sure you can...

    Jesus Before Age 30

    After reading your post, I realize I did not know much about the “lost years” of Jesus, between 12 years of age (last time mention in the Bible) and starting His philosophy teachings at age 30. Some documents, books, claiming He went to Egypt, others even say He went as far as India and...

    Thoughts on Prayer

    God already did His part. He created you to His likeness. That means when He created you, He gave you a “Great Power” is the Power to take control of your own mind and directed to whatever ends you may desire. That is why we are all equal, we all have the power to control our own mind, and...

    Human Beings/Spiritual Beings

    Thank you Evergreen, it was very helpful to read the link you provided. I am a little forgetful when it comes to names. All I knew is that it was a Jesuit, I will like to read some of his books now they are allowed to be publish. I think the letters from Egypt will be interesting. :groupray:

    Could you live with a Muslim, Neo-Pagans, Buddish, Jew, Hindu, Atheist.... Real histories from real people – no theory. We all read hundreds of books about religion, good ones, bad ones, crazy ones, etc. But all of them are about theory, philosophy, etc. I can give you a manual on how to fly...

    Human Beings/Spiritual Beings

    Lorna, I can't remember the name of the person who wrote the beautiful quote of : "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience" but do remember it was a jesuit monk. I love that quote as well, and I believe it to be true...

    Could Christians explain to seekers and non-Christians, please.....

    I agree with you, those reading the text in Hebrew would not have the problem to deal with errors of “lost in translation”. They would see the words as they are meant to be understood. The same goes for any other language; Arabic, Chinese, Hindu, etc. You see the process of translation...
