The REAL truth is quite simply this: NO ONE REALLY KNOWS AND EVEN THE MOST ANCIENT OF RELIGIONS IS PURELY SPECULATIONS AND UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS BY PEOPLE LONG DEAD.

Probably because Jesus stated that "WE ARE ALL HIS CHILDREN" Thats how.
You know that arrogance is a carnal sin right?

I never said there wouldn't be a resonant harmonious pressure-wave frequency of cosmic-conscious inducing awareness and understanding, welling up from the depths of the center of the zero point field or akashic record (book of life), when the time comes though, did I..?

You might wanna inform a large percentage of Christians of this, as many of them have an issue with the group known as "homosexuals"....because, as you know, God had plenty to say about this particular population of "his children" in The Good Book...and it ain't pretty.

I recently further developed my already existing relationship with god and I consider myself more of a Christian now although I still have a long way to go. I also cultivate chi and believe in some of what you may consider 'New age'. Your thoughts?
Also. Please clarify on what you mean by 'New ager' it is an extremely broad term.

How can you be spiritually minded if your mind is not focused on Christ and what he did for us on the Cross?
You see, that's one of the problems I have with the whole Jesus issue. Let's look at what he did...realistically. At face value, he was allegedly sent here by God...as his only begotten...Son to die to for sins so that we may have everlasting life. In essence, to take the punishment for things he DIDN'T EVEN DO. Even in our own Earthly justice system we don't intentionally send an innocent man to an execution. It is not fair....it is not just. What about all the people before Jesus was born? Did they have no chance to go to Heaven because Jesus had yet to exist and, therefore, had not given his life for THEIR sins?
Frankly, I would question the compassion of a God who would put his only son through such torture for things he didn't do and hold it up as a symbol of his love.
The whole thing is a cluster.....in my humble opinion. But people are free to believe as they wish.edit on 25-6-2012 by NightGypsy because: (no reason given)

Well I can know that your not a Christian if you claim there is another mediator other than Jesus. The scriptures just proven you wrong yet you continue to argue? That is exactly what the pharisees did. And who says I am judging your heart? I am just letting you know what the scriptures say.edit on 25-6-2012 by RevelationGeneration because: (no reason given)

How about these based on my experiences and studies and my life.
1. There is no Hell.
2. Jesus is not the only path to God. Although, he is one and many find comfort in Christian Churches.
3. There is nothing wrong with cutting out the middle man/men and going straight to God.
4. The Bible is so convoluted and confusing as to be an unreliable map to true spirituality. At least for me.
5. When I keep things simple like asking God for direction and thanking him/her for everything that I have, life is usually much better.
