No, it's like a cell phone and a signal. The signal is not the phone and the phone is not the signal, but they need each other to function. Consciousness and personality rests gently on the electrochemical platform of your material mind. You were born with the potential of becoming responsive to spirit.
"If this were only a material universe, material man would never be able to arrive at the concept of the mechanistic character of such an exclusively material existence. This very mechanistic concept of the universe is in itself a nonmaterial phenomenon of mind, and all mind is of nonmaterial origin, no matter how thoroughly it may appear to be materially conditioned and mechanistically controlled."
He was just being polite.The fact that you responded is the proof.
God is spirt.He was just being polite.
BTW can you explain to me what a 'Spirit' is please?
God is spirt.
Spirit is the soul of creation.
"Spirit is ever conscious, minded, and possessed of varied phases of identity. Without mind in some phase there would be no spiritual consciousness in the fraternity of spirit beings. The equivalent of mind, the ability to know and be known, is indigenous to Deity. Deity may be personal, prepersonal, superpersonal, or impersonal, but Deity is never mindless, that is, never without the ability at least to communicate with similar entities, beings, or personalities" UB 55'
Yes, I believe Jesus was/is the Son of God. I believe he is the Christ. I am Christ-ian.Colter, you believe in JC but also a lot of your believes are different from mainstream Christianity, pretty radical I would say,....do you consider yourself a Christian?
May I remind you of this post?But make no mistake, I AM a disciple of Jesus.
Here are some things Urantia teaches:
Source: Larson's Book of World Religions and Alternative Spirituality
- Prayer is not to be attempted until one has "exhausted the human capacity for human adjustment." In addition, "words are irrelevant to prayer."
- The biblical doctrine of atonement (Hebrews 9:22) "unnecessarily encumbered Christianity with teachings about blood and sacrifice."
- The home is seen as a "sociological institution," and the belief that marriage is a sacred state is called "unfortunate." "Deity is not a conjoining party" in marriages that dissolve.
- Mankind's parents were named Andon and Fonta, who procreated Sontad.
- Adam, Solomon, and David were not in the direct line of ancestry of Joseph, the father of Jesus.
- Jesus adopted the term "Son of Man" at age fifteen after reading a passage in the so-called Book of Enoch.
- During his twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth years on earth, Jesus toured the Roman world, accompanied by the natives from India.
- The indwelling Christ is not essential to salvation, since "Jesus does not require his disciples to believe in him but rather to believe with him."
May I remind you of this post?
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!Emm, isn't it against forum rules to state who is a true Christian and who is not?
I'm not a YEC.Only for non-YEC Christians.
The universe was created in 4004 BC according to the Bible; not in 13,700,000 BC, according to science.
Belief in rocket powered flying clams, teleporting koalas, leprechauns, and Jacobean English speaking ancient Hebrews are optional extras.The YEC checklist
1. Believe that the earth and everything on it was created between 6-10k years ago? checked
2. Believe that God created Adam and Eve, and not tru common descent from some stinking ape? checked
2. Believe that Evolution is the gospel of Satan? checked
Congrats, you are a YEC
