Wow. They were honest questions. Nothing to get in a snit about. Ponder them then answer with a true heart. You've never met the guy. You've never heard Him teach. You've never heard His truths, only what someone else proclaimed at least 70 years after His death. That's a long time. You can honestly sit there and say that they actually quoted His teachings word for word.? I don't think so.
I'm a truth seeker and if it doesn't ring true in my soul, I discard it. It doesn't matter where I get the information, if it doesn't ring true in my soul, it's worthless. I believe everyone should question everything. I believe that truth is of the soul. I also believe that Jesus would not want His students to just believe in something just because it was taught to them. Jesus wanted people to ponder His words to get the true meaning. No one does that these days. They think if their parents or friends believe in something than it must be true. Just because something has been believed for thousands of years, does not make it true.

I just asked out of curiosity and my intentions were honest and sincere. I'm sorry you aren't comfortable in your trust in God to answer them instead of going in a circle from a book and not answering them.

We all know, well most of us, that God's will be done. We all know that what God wants, He gets. God lies in Love and perfection. Man is fallible so we do not lie in Love and perfection yet. Based on your soul condition, I'm CONFIDENT that you won't see Jesus or God when you die and rise up in the spirit world only because you have never met Him and because you are following man.

If I'm out of line, I apologize. I think it, I say it. It's just how I am. No harm intended, just thought provoking questions.

John 20


27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" 29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
He didn't tell Thomas because Thomas would not have been able to grasp that idea. It was new to them and they had never heard of it. Jesus would not teach something if it would upset the way things were done. Jesus came to proclaim freedom from the bondage of man. Thomas would not have understood that. Jesus taught a higher consciousness and even the other Apostles could not grasp it until AFTER Penticost. John and Mary Magdalene were the only two that grasped anything that Jesus talked about. Jesus always talked about the spirit world. None of His teachings refer to this world. He always talked about the soul. None of the writers included those teachings in the bible. If His teachings are in your heart then you will understand what I'm talking about. If not, well then you should really raise your consciousness to a level that you can grasp it. You know how to do that. It's in your bible, right?

No, everyone does not question everything.......Some are confident that GOD WILL DO AS HE SAYS HE WILL. Some of us have respect for His Holy Name.

Very nice. What am I supposed to meditate on? I've seen the ocean that God created. I've listened to the waves splash on the shore in my own moments of tranquility. The music is soft and pretty and I can get that in my own collection. I personally like Kenny G.
I meditate everyday and bask in God's loving embrace. What does that video have to do with the Lamb in the questions I asked of you. I, too, know God's Will be done. That was not my question.

It's ok that you have no answers. I understand the condition of your soul. You want me to be like you. You want me to see the world through your eyes as well as God. I can't do that. I have God within me so I don't need to see through your eyes. We each have a piece of God's puzzle. I can't have your piece nor you mine.

Just be. Be Love and have a nice day.
