If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. But that doesn't mean you stand for things that are immoral and unjust! There is a part in a song that says, "God is God and I am not. I CAN ONLY SEE A PART of the PICTURE HE'S PAINTING." We we weren't ment to know everything. If we were, God would have made it so. He actually made it so in the beginning, but we ruined it with our greed of wanting to know everything. Yes, I do agree that there have been so many interpretations of the Bible that it has probably been taken pretty out of the original text but that is why we ask God which version He prefers for us and once we start reading it, ask Him for interpretations of what we read. "John 16:23 (KJV) And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you."
No, no. You misunderstood it. Let me make it more clear to you. There is a trinity. God the Father, Son then Holy Spirit. This quote says, "John 16:23 (KJV) And in that day ye shall ask me (meaning Jesus is saying you'll ask him for...) nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father (which is God) in my name,(in Jesus's name) he (God) will give it you." Do you understand now?

You're right, we must be reincarnated after we die. That makes a lot more sense.
Please explain? I would like to know more of this reincarnation.
I believe in Simultaneous Incarnation; I am the manifestation of my Entity. My Entity lives in many lives throughout time. I don't reincarnate. I was born; I live, and die. Before I was born and after I die I did not, and will not exist. I only experience life in this lifetime, but I am connected through time as part of a Collective Conciseness that I call my Entiy. Sure, the Collective Conciseness has not been proved, but I believe that will only be a matter of time.

So you're like a Scientologist or something?

You are correct if the bible is true. However, I do not believe in the bible, and I have seen, first hand, the evil that beliefs in this bible do.

Ah, my mistake. I skipped over the "in my name" part when I read it the first time.

They're an extremist Christian sect that believes (among other things) that our soldiers only die because we've failed to properly persecute gay people.
