The Father and Son are in eachother, that makes Yeshua God.

But you are forgetting the fact that, according to the bible, anyone who lives in love lives IN God.

"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." - (1 John 4:16)

Who is John talking to? He is not talking to nonbelievers. Context is your friend. The scriptures were not written to people who could give a crap less about any of this, it was written to messianic jews and judeo-christians. If just having love was all you needed to make heaven, then believing in Yeshua would be a waste of effort and he said to believe in him, so love on it's own without him is nothing to the Father, for works without faith are a cessfilled rag before his sight.

Why do so many always fail the first rule of hermetics? Context, context, contect... if people did that 97% of the alledged contradictions on anti-Bible websites would disappear immediately.

To sum it up, they have eyes but do not percieve, and they have ears but do not understand. Having a form of godliness but denying the power of it. Always learning but unable to come to the knowledge of the truth.

I agree, except your quote from Timothy, Paul was speaking about believers who would deny the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He said to stay away from them! Lol

Christians are actually the worse violators of taking quotes out of context.

New age is alot of old age, and is religion too, and they're all intertwined, though some of the basics are older than this out of africa, sumar and hence religious cycle.

Yes there are quite a few doing that!!!! The ones denying eternal security by taking Hebrews chapters 6 and 10 COMPLETELY out of context comes to mind. Sadly many people mock the hermetics of scripture, and absurd doctrines result. Hebrews isn't written to believers! Lol. It's written to Jews while the temple is still standing and peoplle try to make it a letter to Gentile Chriatian believers. Violating the first law of hermetics.

Actually i'd say atheists are worst. They pull 1 verse out of an entire chapter and say "aha! see it says this!" when it does no such thing.
