A Question for Christians on God

[hilly7]

Quote:

Quote:people keep on falling into this trap of comparing Jesus to Buddha as if they are the same just represented in an East or a Western view, this is completely incorrect Buddhism and Christianity do not have a common origin and are fudementally opposed and are not compatible, the only place anyone will find comparisons is in Theosophy or what is now known as New Age, that which is just an updated version of Theosophy! Alternatively demon spirits often depart this kind of false doctrine to humans who are totally under there influence as in the case of Edgar Cayse 'the sleeping prophet'...

I was just thinking the same thing (almost)

We are all one, all connected, it's all about our good deeds and self awareness. Teachings of theosophy, I'm not saying that this is wrong but it's not biblical, not "christianity".

What about Satan and his flock ?

What about salvation through faith, and no mans deeds being good enough ?

This is why I don't call myself a christian but a follower of Jesus, christianity and masonic organized religion are not what Jesus was about, but he did make it clear that there are two separate flocks. That we are not just one big family but two. That we are not to be yoked /one with unbelievers, nor are we to judge them, though we are called to love all.

more on food and the bible

Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
&
There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man
- Jesus

I think Satan is alive and well, his best trick, making people think he dosen't exist. The thing about it is, and I'm no scholar, is that most people Jesus associated with were not Christians, and most were from pretty rough backgrounds. Perhaps that was part of what those that called themselves the very elect were most angree about, the fact that Jesus challenged authority and those that called themselves good. He pretty well ticked off the rich, so there went funding. The people Jesus hung with were anything other than what most church elders called just. I'm not saying that I agree with all that I found there on that site, but it's a pretty decent start. Jesus picked His friends by their heart, and His enemies by theirs. If He would not cast the first stone, how then could I?

IMHO, no one's deeds are good enough, but then again, to have faith is to have good deeds with good intentions and motives. I have met people who done evil, but never anybody that is truly evil. I have met good people that do evil deeds. The whole thing is to get to God. Deeds can be done by believers and none believers, perhaps it resolves in why one does the deeds. A few years ago, someone told me something about putting a star in my crown? I had not heard of this before, so I asked what they were talking about. Good deeds done to another that can do a good deed back, or to someone that can repay you, is just a deed, then again, so is doing a good deed and bragging about it. That could be at least part of what that is about.

The quote you have on food is similar to what my great grandmother had, except a different take on it, "What goes under the Devil's belly, comes over his back."
