I would hope that you can open your eyes and mind and realize that which you already have. It is there for you.
I agree wholeheartedly with you...spiritual TRUTH can only be found within.

These views are in the bible...so they are equally valid views. All these views can be found in the bible but they are contradictory to each other...so how can anyone determine what the ACTUAL TRUTH IS....given that there are sooooo many contradictory views which are all biblically valid?
I suggest contacting the Vatican. They alone have the authority to make the call since they're the ones who put the Bible together. I am sure they will be happy to answer your questions. Getting answer on this forum is pointless. There's no one here who can answer with any authority.

Of course I know this isn't a serious inquiry since you demonstrated your anti-religious beliefs before and this thread is a thinly veiled insult to Christianity. So now your are starting your own threads? You've moved up.

Your sad devotion to that evil hierarchy and your abandonment of all reason in deference to those twisted men strips you of any intellectual and spiritual credence.

No, I just actually buy into what the Bible tells me. Mystic, do you think Christianity is evil?

Faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is not faith, it is love. Without agape love, you are nothing.


If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,

I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love,
I am nothing.


And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love,
nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
love is not jealous,
love does not boast,
love is not inflated.
love is not discourteous,
love is not selfish,
love is not irritable,
love does not rejoice in evil.
love does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth
love covers all things,
love has faith in all things,
love hopes in all things,
love endures in all things.
Love never fails;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.
For we know in part and we prophecy in part. But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.
When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;
when I became [an adult],
I abolished the things of the infant.

For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.
But now remains
faith, hope, love,these three;

but the greatest of these is love.

There are deeper spiritual truths that can be mined from scripture...but being able to find those truths require letting go of all the man made doctrine and dogma that one fiercely clings to.

The Source/Englightenment/Awareness/Consciousness/God can only be found within and that is where the journey must start and eventually end.
