That you view the world by the Bible rather than Christ in you.

that's right amps. I call it "filtering". The universe is "filtered" through you, people call it perception, I am more of an engineer so, umm, yeah, I use filter.

He is filtering through the universe idea's through him(in physics we call it information and in chemistry we call them, loosely, states) then he goes through that book, then back through him again. then ozzy's notion's that we can't verbalize these notions applies here to the possibility of a seriously warped message.

We all do that to a degree, but you can see the problem with that mechanism.

So, how would you recommend we approach a room full of that mindset? In a perfect world, what can we change to deliver the message?

yes, you can reject a child and call yourself christian at the same time. without a book or taking the easy way out and claiming "reject nobody."

This life’s dim windows of the soul
Distorts the heavens from pole to pole
And leads you to believe a lie
When you see with, not through, the eye.

Weird...because as I see it, the Bible says nothing about accepting refugees.

can we work with the windows? Or the eye?

How about a magnetic field adjusting the brain? They can lift a frog, maybe they can turn a knob or two, just enough, like that there butterfly effect?

But it speaks a lot about accepting others like you have been accepted and freely giving like you have freely received. This should be your starting point, not.... I don't see this in the Bible in a literal sense.

Refugees in the Bible were enslaved, sold, raped, and absorbed.

The pope is just a pope. religion doesn't lead men, it guides men. No matter the path, innocent people die.

you may not like it.
You can close your eyes to it,
But its a fact.

Unless you can show me where its not true.

Refugees were enslaved, sold, raped, and absorbed. everywhere.

Look at china, south america (before the spanish), north america, and the islands.

still happens today. Should we send ships around and pick up people to bring them in?
