Making your mistakes in your youth is the time to do it. Its a matter of amalgamating your life. Learn something everyday , especially about the things you like. Remember the stories and words of Jesus which resonate most with you at a given time. This should lead you to whatever lessons you have to learn. I have no answers for you, all I have is my testimony and my suggestions. Remember that the poor in spirt are the Lords favoured children. In other words live righteously by being unselfish and generally helpful of others without losing the balance in life.
I did want to know more about what you believe (and why). But the fact is I do not regard myself as a fountain of knowledge and wisdom, nor completely free of bias.
I did at one time look to myself for answers, but this led to saying and doing things even I couldn't deny were foolish. Fortunately this was in my late teens and early twenties, so I'm ab ...[text shortened]... 'm okay with having been a foolish young man, but have no desire to end up as a foolish old man.

Yeah bro. Peace. I aint joking. Serves me right for trying to post my opinions here. I appreicate you giving reasons for disagreing rather than assuming things about me.
I've always been a seeker of truth. I believe there is truth. Solid, absolute, irrefutable and undeniable truth.
I love The Truth.

well then you should verify my assertions. However that's going to be difficult if you distrust sources of info that you dont like.
Originally posted by @karoly-aczelBut karoly, I challenged your assertions, yet it seems you got upset when I did.
yes.

What say you? Let's do it again. Make an assertion that you feel is an essential ingredient for the truth about life, and let's see where it will go from there.
Originally posted by @secondsonI just spoke my mind because of your appaling forum demeanor... I have plenty of assertions about life. Where do you want to start? With the idea of heaven? How about psychology? Anthropology? Or perhaps linguistics? If you reply with a more specific 'ingredient' that you wish to discuss, I'd be happy to share my thoughts. . . ( I mean I've already said so much...on this thread alone. Nevertheless, I'd be happy to go again if you remain constructive. )

Forget the past karoly. I forgave you and forgot already about the fit you pitched. Moving on now...
Let's start with the question of what constitutes authoritative evidence for a given Truth?
Briefly describe how you draw a conclusion about what you think you know is irrefutable Truth. Any Truth.
What, or who, is your source of spiritual inspiration?

I have authority over my life. No one else.

I think your "interesting observation" says more about you than sonship.
Your "observations" aren't. They're merely another way to denigrate a poster who disagrees with you by assuming meaning for something other than his words. You assign a motivation to him with no evidence.
Originally posted by @fmfWhich one of those is it in the case of the Declaration of Independence? As I SAID, it is also a style choice to draw attention to words. The two reasons you give to the practice are far from all of the reasons, yet you choose to misrepresent it in this way.

You two assign motives to people ALL the time. It's practically all you do here.
