I think I read somewhere where it's interpreted as the present moment in time..

What is the narrow gate?
by YoYoMama inmatthew 7:13-14 .
go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

Young King Arthur...
by closer2fine inyoung king arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a. neighboring kingdom.
the monarch could have killed him, but was moved by arthur's youth and ideals.
so the monarch offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question.

I bet everyone did to some degree, especially since fear is one of if not the driving force of motivation. I don't know about the rest of you, but I remember hearing stories about the householder pulling out a shotgun in the rural territory and such. Now that I think about it, that's a pretty good forumla for driving you nuts since you need go out in service at the same time.

Done or not done?
by oscartheduck inwhat's more important?
what i'm getting at is, is it more important to impose your views on what is right in the bible, or to encourage other members of your religion?.
i remember that my past seems to be more a memory of elders telling people "oh, that's wrong.

But.. Jeff.. You're wrong.
Seriously, this is why I think it's kind of iffy to be giving people advice and generally talk or say too much. It's not a small thing to be sizing up a person with all of their life history, and say just the right thing for that point in their life. The other side of it too, of course, is that it is their life. I think you're pretty safe though if you're realistic about what or who you think you know, including yourself.. Speaking of which, have you seen this link? http://www.cultdeadcow.com/cDc_files/cDc-0317.txt

To those who need no purpose in life
by gumby inafter reading the comments from many on the thread "is there a purpose in life" by itsjustme , posted a couple of days ago i am confussed.. i cannot understand how anyone can be content and not believe life has a purpose.. to not be compelled to wonder how all the design around us is just here because who knows why ......totally baffles me.. at this point in my life believe in a creator but have so many unanswered questions.
things do not make sense in the bible.. if i were to come to believe that the bible were a fairytale of myths...i would feel as stupid as i did when finding out the borg was a crock.. i also would be emotionally devastated.. here are some samples of your comments about lifes purpose.
we may have been put here by someone, or we may not have.

do you think some deny a purpose to life in order to refute morality? Or a better question might be, what causes someone who sees no purpose in life to act in a moral way? Now don't get sidetracked by my use of the word "moral" as that obviously means different things to different people. What causes them to act in a way moral to them?
JustMe, I think that's a good question. My thought on it would be that rather than looking at it from the perspective of having this set purpose to human life across the board, it might be interesting to look at it from an individual perspective. You might say some people do not live or act "on purpose", so that if you're talking about any kind of behavior that happens to fall within the confines of what we might call morality, it's strictly by accident.

i wonder, what do atheists believe about death?
do you believe in any way that a 'spirit' lives on?
