I would have never told you that hell is a dark scary place, or a hot one that will burn you forever. Your going thru your sort of hell now. As I am going through my sort.
When our physical existence ends and we enter the eternal light then we will be in heaven. Please no lumping!!

however, another example of christians ignorance towards other people 'god bless'... in the words of police chief wiggam 'take it outside god boy'. like when someone sneezes some people will say 'god bless you' because of course its your soul escaping.

now people will refer to it as just 'bless you'. just stop blessing us with your god, i dont need it and many others dont. if i wanted to be blessed by god, id go to church.
I am curious, Madman, so a question if I may:
Are you Christian; Hindi or some mix?
Your "namaste" signoff is what makes me enquire.

Was Jesus "immaculately conceived". I don't know the answer to that question.

Sneezing was an initial sign of the infection.
God bless you shaunybaby, with an open mind and most of all, an open heart.

anyways repspect my view on the blessings from god...i don't sign off and say 'may satan bless you' and may the devil have your soul forever. yet you carry on with the god blessings...quit it.
What makes the immaculate conception more difficult to accept than Jesus' miracles, teachings and resurrection? Is it because he would then be different than you and I?
but hey, free speech is free speech...right. i just wanted to point out that although you may think you're being polite, you're are doing it using a religious term.

In a way saint we are all immaculately conceived. It is not "difficult" for me to accept. I just don't know.

New Testament Interpretation- Where do I get it from? The heart. What I sometimes find interesting is when many of my beliefs appear somewhere. If that makes any sense.

Oh, don't be concerned about asking me questions. I speak freely, and will answer as honestly as possible. It is when one uses the word "no" as in "No, madman that's not right" that I quit speaking. For I would not do the same to them.
Namaste' and GOD bless
I think the reason why the Namaste' rubbed with friction, was the context of worshipping something other than God. Now, I know you feel God is in a part of us and is the Holy Spirit.
And no, it is not hard "to place you." and thank you for your candour.

Very hard yet easy to explain. I am a great believer in the eternal light, and that light runs through everything animate or inanimate in this universe. It's what keeps this place up and running.

I don't think I phrases that properly, but if I may reposition: How do know the miracles Jesus performed, Jesus saying "nothing is impossible with God", and his resurrection are all true but the thought of Mary being conceived by the Holy Spirit and not a man, is questionable? I guess I don't understand where the separation between miracles is.
Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception.
The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.
The translation for that verse has now change and says:
And coming to her, he said, "Hail Mary full of Grace".
"Hail, favored one!"
But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?" And the angel said to her in reply, "The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
for were I to believe that Jesus was the light, I would not be bowing to anyone else's inner light.

It is all one in the same my friend. The same Holy Spirit that is Christ. Father, son, and Holy Spirit. The trinity. All one in the same. We are different yet we are all the same. The light that runs through all.
shaunybaby, it looks like a prime example for what you just said is built in to the very post you were replying to !!
