Why are Christians so insecure?, The Secret

[horseonwheels]

OK jack,i hear you, but i fail to find the logic, or perhaps -any- foundation for your faith if it is not derived out of the Bible. It doesnt mean that i condemn it mind you, it is obvious that you are a pleasant person so the ideals you hold for whatever reason ressonates perfectly with me. We altso seem to understand both of us that the lodges, churches et all...are spiritual whorehouses where one can prostitute his or her ego by being seen performing 'teh holey!', another reason why i dont really need them chiming at me.

For you to understand how i am reading the Bible here is an example.

Quote:NT, Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me"

To me it is blatantly obvious that what is being said is that my destination is the father, but Jesus merely claims to be the way there. Obviously not even in the Biblical universe Jesus would come and handpick each individual, but he left something that all prophets and sers before and after him has left. 'The golden rule', his true legacy, by following that, you are following him, thus you walk the same path, the path that leads to the father, the target. I belive muslims by large makes a similar mistake. They follow what Muhammad supposedly should have done down to what shoe to put on first, but like christianity it floods and drowns the core teaching. The golden rule.

altso confronted with John 14:3 i have to look at John 14:2

Quote:"In my Father's house are many mansions (dwelling places); if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a mansion (a dwelling place) for you."

Ofcourse some are going to jump right in and point out the obvious astro theological implications the 2 verses holds combined. But if we keep it on surface level, doesnt it say that he is going there to prepare a place to stay for his followers? which i lends strength to my first point that Jesus is not the point of focus, but God, the father is, and this altso suggest if anything that they are seperate beings.

and yeah i love cars, the more muscle the more fun, its really that simple. There is nothing that quite compares to the kick in the arse a well trimmed 600+hp engine delivers. Mustang is just such a cliché name with a range of lame associations to it. A horseonwheels on the other hand is something we love from where kids, and when were adults they get 600+ break horse power :freaked:
