I am content walking with God, I lived the first 25 years of my life living just for myself. Now the last 37 as a Christian and God is the best part of my life, my sure foundation, my Lord and God.
He is faithful and true who has seen me through great times and horrible ones. I no longer look at finding something outside of myself to complete my life, I was lost and now I’m found as it has been said.
Originally posted by @fmfDoes it really matter how Think of One labels himself? It is clear to me from the content of his posts that he is well versed in the spirit of Christianity. What he calls himself is unimportant. I labelled myselfa Hindu a while back just to see ifothers would engage in Hindu ideas. I see all valid spiritual traditions as coming from the same source whether thay call themself theist , atheist,polytheist,non-dualist or whatever.
If you are an atheist of some persuasion or degree, just tell people and be done with it. If you're not, then just say so.

A simple question that he will never answer, rendering him spiritually impotent and cowardly.

You surprise me.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeYou're surprised I dont agree with your assesment of what constitutes cowardice and spiritual impotence? Lmfao.

around me. I am not saying I didn't care about people, but they were not always my main
concern. This took me places I should not have gone and did things that never should
have happen had I thought about it, things I completely regret. It wasn't until I became
a Christian did God start working on my inner man, changing me to where I realized it
was His universe and I should start caring about people and Him. The and Him became
the most important part of the equation, because of His love for me and everyone else
that dwarfed all the wrong I and others could do, all the bad, all the evil, I'm not to look at
others as if they are worthy or not, they are not worthy, but He died for each of them so its
because He loves them and me, He is worthy that is all that matters even when I have to
forgive myself. I have to keep in mind its all for His love not mine, a new perspective, He
is a solid foundation that is greater than all of our guilt, if we but turn to Him.

FMF tossed out this red herring in an attempt to deflect from the fact that he did not qualify his original assertion with much needed caveats.The fact that he tossed it out on the heels of having added a caveat for himself for "red herring(s) and deflection" in his discussion with KJ is interesting to say the least. It smacks of the very hypocrisy of which he keeps accusing KJ.
Originally posted by @karoly-aczelAs DG so often shows, there are concepts that are beyond his grasp.
I really cant see what difference it would make if Jesus was the son of God , as he claimed in the bible . The most important stuff Jesus taught was how to live righteously and get to heaven.
In Trumpian fashion he doubles down when befuddled.

Originally posted by @thinkofoneKellyJay said something to me the other day that sounded a bit like he was admitting that he was a "real prick" and insinuating that I was a "real prick" as well. And he may be right. And you may be right: I may be just as much of a hypocrite as KellyJay or even more of one. People can decide for themselves whether I am a "real prick" and how much of a hypocrite I am. KellyJay might be right. You might be right.

Nobody seems to knows, including yourself I fear.
Originally posted by @thinkofoneDid Karoly demonstrate this deep insight a few months back when he insinuated you and sonship were the same person and that this is why you had recommended him to get the free membership he was offering? (Or when he referred to you using the 'C' word).

Like always sir, you don't really think through your position.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeI knew you were cheap, but you'd have to pay me to for me to think this post of yours was in any way concerned with Spiritual matters. Feel free to give some thoughts about them anytime.
