Beliefs are very useful and truth is irrelevant? Is that what you're trying to say?

Understanding God ... beyond a vast, infinite, but, abstract being somewhere in corner of a limitless universe.

--- Isn't that exactly why God sent Jesus Christ? "The Father and I are one"... "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father" ... "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory..." -- Open your eyes! God is not hiding in a cave at the top of some mountain.

Do you get what I'm trying to do? Why do you bother to even post here if truth is only what we make it? Why does anyone post? Why do you bother to speak? Why does anyone try to communicate with each other? Why do we even care?

To open the mind.. to allow ourselves to dig deeper within.

Religion teaches us not to even ask questions.. to just Believe or be doomed.( in a nutshell)

Sometimes we need to ask questions to dig.. to see what we find for ourselves..

I have learned from others, in many ways.

discussion can help this sometimes.. If we can freely speak and listen. without getting mad or arguing.




but i get your point.

That sure sounds like you're making some pretty concrete statements. I completely disagree with you.

Why must one of us be right? cant we just having a conversation. sharing .

I'm here to sharpen my theology and maybe help other people understand a bit of truth.

From this perspective, your aims are mutually exclusive.
