"It will, however, leave me with no choice but to see you as among those who "weep" and "gnash their teeth" when they are told the truth. And if that is your choice... remember it is YOUR choice, and thus, so be it."
Aguest each one of us has our own renditions of God, Jesus, the holy spirit. All of us have been through times of questioning our own beliefs. My belief is not the same as yours. I won't be worshipping any God. I don't really feel God has well thought out plans because in my opinion if he did, he would have known what was going to happen at the Garden of Eden.
Did you know that on the Tree of Life there are ten different Gods with YHWH being listed among them? YHWH is listed among ten other Gods. I don't limit myself to one teaching as I don't feel there is but one God who is over them all. NWT and, the NIV lists two trees, one was the tree of knowledge of good and bad and the other tree was the tree of life. Eve ate from the tree of knowledge. Able to know the difference between good and bad. Gen 2:8,9.
Your thread is very demanding that those who will listen and come to know Jesus and those that will gnash their teeth. My beliefs don't follow along with your beliefs but yet you made a judgement against my beliefs that I can only be saved by knowing your beliefs and accepting them. Maybe that is why alot of people here are upset because we all came from a society where we were fed one truth, one belief and if we strayed we were no longer acceptable. Yet you are doing the same thing and that really grates on a lot of nerves here.
You have to remember this is your truth. This is your reality. This was your dream. You shared your dream but it doesn't fit in our reality. We were not a part of your dream. We were not there to see the same things as you saw because we are all at different stages in our lives. This does not make your dream any less viable but it was in the context of where you are at in this life.
I personally wish Eve would have eaten from the tree of life first then ate from the tree of knowledge. We would have had the best of both worlds literally.
These are just my thoughts on this subject.
