I hope that you are not too dissapointed when the whole universe you subscribe to is dashed to pieces.
The western world has spent two thousand years fooling around with a religion that is only for a few million people.
You Know that Jesus said he came strictly for the "lost sheep of Isreal......"
The rest of us are left out.

Well thank GOD for that! I thought the nations of the Middle East were killing each other, torturing their children, and mutilating their wives for no reason at all.

I wish I could wash my brain. I think it has become quite dirty.
On September 25, 1997, Khaled Mashal—a prominent Hamas leader—was the target of an assassination attempt carried out by the Israeli Mossad under orders of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Two Mossad agents carrying Canadian passports entered Jordan and injected Mashal with an unknown nerve toxin. A few days later, Netanyahu surrendered to international pressure and provided the antidote. Toxin and antidote were developed by the Israel Institute for Biological Research; its name is often shortened as IIB.
"I consider this moment my third birth, and I pray to God that my fourth birth will be the moment when all of Palestine is liberated," Meshal said, according to the BBC.
We do two things in this world. We think and we move. From there, the world is produced around us by God first,
law giver has given us direction.
In the end, we have ourselves to blame for the entire problem. Demonstrate otherwise and you have a platform to stand on.
Dhammapada We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.
Only love dispels hate.

Rumi
Rumi continues, “This whole world is but a
house, no more. Whether we go from this room to
that room, or from this corner to that corner, still
are we not in the same house? But the saints who
possess God’s jewel have left this house, they have
gone beyond.
The more you make
your peace with worldly people, the more the
Beloved turns away from you. Going in their (Worldly People)
direction renders you subject to their rule. Once
you have turned down their path, in the end God
gives them power over you (Tyranny).
It is a pity to reach the ocean, and to be satisfied
with a little pitcherful from the sea (Nations). After all,
there are pearls in the sea, and from the sea come
a myriad of precious things. What is the value in
just taking water? What pride can intelligent people
have in that? This world is a mere foam fleck
of the True Sea (God's Kingdom). That Ocean is the science of the
saints (Believers), and within that Water is the Pearl Itself (Love for others).
---DON'T MISS THE PEARL. What else can I say to you other than this?
This world is but foam full of floating jetsam.
-----What is Jetsam? (the part of a ship, its equipment, or its cargo that is cast overboard to lighten the load in time of distress and that sinks or is washed ashore. )
Yet, through the turning of the waves, and the
rhythmic surging of the sea in constant motion,
this foam takes on a certain beauty. But this beauty
is a borrowed thing coming from elsewhere. It
is a false coin that sparkles to the eye.
People are the astrolabe of God, but it requires
an astronomer to use the astrolabe.

Can you actually talk for yourself? Just wondering because all you ever do is post bible snippets and crap like that.

Ephraim is listed as "My first born Son." I think this is the nation of America as God's first nation of freedom. See This Thread for More

Who was Zechariah speaking of here?
Zechariah 14:9
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
Who was Rumi speaking of here?
If our real purpose is kept in view, duality vanishes.
Duality shows the branches, but the root is
one.
Who was Hermes speaking of here?
77. For there is one Soul, one Life and one Matter.
78. Who is this? Who can it be? Other than the One God.
79. For whom else can it benefit, to make living things, save only God alone?
80. There is therefore one God.
And here?
Then said he, "I am that Light, the Mind, thy God, who am before that Moist Nature that appeareth out of
Darkness, and that Bright and Lightful Word from the Mind is the Son of God."
Who was the Bible referring to here?
1 Colossians 1: 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Who are you and I, if not the image of the first born and the image of God, held together by the first soul? Why would I speak my own words if not by reflection of the ONE we both come from? I would rather speak of His glory rather than my own alone. We are all in this together.
