I am not denying your argument at all. I will definitely look into it. However I am a believer in Jesus Christ and what man made religion has done in history is irrelevant.. It is highly unfortunate to see how religiosity has shaped the world. In fact, Christ was against it. Catholicism (Dagon), Denominations, Paganism, Hedonism, Mainstream Christianity… All of it corrupt. Thanks for the lead though, I will pursue it regardless. We are brothers in arms, whether we have differing opinions or not - My concern is the spiritual darkness plagued by new agers and philosophers that have corrupted the very body itself.
I am not calvinist, we are living in a matrix. All the options exist, we walk into those realities. Fate does not exist. Love cannot exist without free will.
Thank you user. I'll look into it as we said but read the references I mentioned and give the bible another read. It's not educational, it's a living word. Do not let propoganda misinform you. From what you have said, WLP seems like a great academic and a very respectable man. I will treat it in that very same manner.
He is definitely talking about the commercialization, the cult, the lifestyle, the bretheren of the "church" - a building built by brick and mortar and sold by the snakeoil salesman. That's not Jesus Christ.
The discussion we have just had is attending Church. I hope you realise that and I hope that you know that not all of us are in that ilk. You are my brother by affiliation alone. Whether genuine or not, we are to share in love and mutual respect. This is something that you will not hear from today's world view Christianity and Pierce is clearly calling it out from the word Go.
Have a blessed evening brother and stay safe. Thank you for being respectful toward me and my faith, and giving me the proper necessities to safeguard me from those who are fundamentalists in their religiosity, irrespective of origins.
It's good to speak to people such as yourself… Rational, Kind, Respectful. I will re-read all of the above but do not wish to de-rail anything more. Just consider my words as I will with yours - and I definitely will… It may just take me while but you have me interested on his words alone. God Bless You and be set free - not from the physical, but in the spirit man you fight.
Thanks user.
