'jesus' it but the "imag"ined name <snip> catholicism gave to one head of their "imag"ined three headed pagan gods less than 600 years ago!

The Messiah testified, "i can do nothing of my own self"! (John 5:19,30; 8:28-29)

Can His disciples do anything more?

For that which is of the fleshly brain IS the devil's playground!

Faith, that which is of The Life Center that IS a circumcised heart, wins The Victory over the brain(mankind's vain "imag"inations)!

HalleluYAH!

This is of course the reason why we have the "No Proselytizing" (damn' did I spell that right for once?) rule in A/A.
Does not "Our FATHER" bespeak of Family?

"people" are Spiritual for The Life Center IS the heart and breath(Spirit,air) genders life!

Yet religion's way has so perverted "The Word of TRUTH", "The Way of TRUTH IS evil spoken of"!

an atomic bombs electrons like to make their own path too.


actually some of the most gorgeous things in the world are people following a predetermined path ..
like symphony , or even a rock song isn't any good if everyone is doing whatever they want to .. making up their voices as they go.

I mean what is a duck without his quack ( oops I just remember it would be a Muskovy ) ok so what is a duck without his breathy or his quack( depending on the type of ducks). everything has a path .. except death and atomic devices.

all that "do whatever you will" is only a lot of dubi-ious talking !!
we were created for something glorious and we need to follow his path for our lives to find it and to play it .

Those are not predetermined, they are written, by man, writing in all the twists and paths the music takes.

You can't honestly say that music is predetermined, music, the universal language of expression along with art, literature...all predetermined? I don't think so.
