You really need someone to tell you to love other people? Do you have to love everybody? Do you know everybody to love them?
Instead of wasting your time on religious endeavors, why don't you do something that actually helps someone.
Listen, you make a statement and i refute it.
In truth you have a relationship with what is written in a book. Your relationship consists in a world of the subjective.
I'm free now, so why would I go back to being constrained by biblical rules. Even if I thought the God of the Jews loved me, I couldn't swallow most of the Bible. It's hard to enjoy and experience this universe when you have a book that condemns us for mixing two different fabrics for clothing. Basically I'm sinning by putting my pants on, nah, I've had enough of a ancient book telling me how to think.
I don't have to make any decision, I just have to live life with the cards I've been handed. I'm not wrestling with a sinful conscience, I don't need to decide if Jesus is true or not.
I'm just saying, life is simpler without religious beliefs. I take thing's as they come, and I don't think I've got all the answer's.
It means silliness, do you honesty think that wearing clothing made from two different materials is a sinful act? If it did, why does it? Does the Bible ever explain why it makes the rule's the way it does.
You don't know there's a high God, you believe that there's one. What you believe is dependent on trusting the Bible, you hope that it's all true. You can't prove what you hope on, and you can only put your faith in what you believe.
Beliefs are a shortcut of thought, a leap in the process of logic that reduces calculations - like a cached calculation, you could say. The problem with people who have religious beliefs, is often they have taken a copy of that belief without really understanding how the belief has been calculated - they didn't calculate the belief themselves. Then the whole value of that belief is basically worthless.
No, that is not what it means to me.
Purity. They were, in those days, very close in proximity to Adonai, and He was mighty in their midst. There was very little opportunity for impurity without conviction.
I think it might do, but it really is up to the writer as to whether he thinks it should be said or not (eg: 1 Corinthians 11:14). The understanding we need is built into us as we go on the path, as I described above (Matthew 25:29).
It is very dangerous for you to say that about me, because you haven't gathered enough evidence to support that claim. You might be thinking of evidence you have gained from someone else, but if you want to bring that kind of charge against a person, and be victorious in that judgement, you need to first be asking questions and waiting for the answers
.. that's a wisdom found in Proverbs 18:13 (not that I would have expected it to stick to you if you had read it before you said this!).Yikes a doodle.Beliefs are a shortcut of thought, a leap in the process of logic that reduces calculations - like a cached calculation, you could say.

Scripture is written by those who have actually calculated the thoughts themselves, being the original writers of the words, just as I am doing here. But, then as we consider the wisdom behind those words, and how it compounds our existing understanding, the understanding keeps growing.
For instance, now that you have read and understood what I said here, I can pull in Jeremiah 23:30 to show that it is a thing that God is against. God is against those who copy their beliefs from each other and who steal His words from each other! .. and look at Ezekiel 13:10 that when you think about it, what has been built by using worthless beliefs, is a weak wall - a whitewashed wall. We only need to lean on it and it falls to pieces.
.. but you have been very afflicted for a long time, by those who have been agents of destruction in God's name. I understand that, and I hear the cries for comfort that are owed on account of that. Also, you need to remember that you are not alone.
