How do you know if you're going to heaven?
by Christiangal inthe only way to go to heaven is believing that jesus christ is god's son, and that he was sent here to earth to die on the cross for our sins.
if you confess him as lord and savior, then and only then, will you be certain that you are going to heaven.

Well, I feel like I'm going to repeat myself again even though I haven't posted here in a while, but maybe it'll have a different spin so it won't be completely redundant..
You can emphasize the first part of this question two ways: How do you KNOW or how do YOU know.. (not unlike "How YOU doin?") But seriously, that's kind of what it comes down to.
First of all, I find it interesting that even though the scripture at 1 John 5:13 emphasizes knowing over belief, as I believe one other poster on the thread has at one point, the word belief is what's thrown around for the most part, that should tell you something.
Now as for what "YOU" know, of course that usually mean 'how does one know' such and such, so it is subjective. Most people seem to confuse data with knowledge, and there is generally a lack of awareness as to the assumptions made in their argument, whatever their position on a given issue. Maybe there's a third way to emphasize this, and that is HOW. HOW do you know? I don't care who YOU are, after all HOW do I know when it's just an alias of someone on the internet? But if you break it down as far as what your reasoning is, I can see if it's reasonable. But it does seem that people are very hung up on the YOU, which of course really means ME. So other people don't believe what you believe, isn't that to be expected? Why do we become so emotionally invested with this stuff, is it really about going to heaven or is it about YOU?
In the past when I've discussed topics like religion online I would often run into people who ask "So what are you??" (to which I'd like to reply "I'm Batman" but that's neither here nor there..) But of course they want to identify me in some way, like if I'm a Christian, Buddhist or whatever. Well, I've found that often the most exemplary individuals of these groups are ones that don't identify themselves as such, and it's because they prefer to identify themselves by their behaviors or not at all, because it's not about them as an individual. Secondly, often these individuals will be silent as to questions like this, because after all the answer would have to come from YOU wouldn't it?? So why are we all trying to answer it for other people??

Free therapeutic massage
by Introspection inas some of you know i've been in school learning massage, and my shiatsu evaluation is coming up so i'm looking for people to practice on.
this work focuses on points along acupuncture meridians, so there isn't as much tissue moving compared to swedish work, but some people do get relaxed enough that they fall asleep.
it's done fully clothed, and although it's traditionally done on the floor i have some hip issues so i've been working with a massage table and have a portable table i can take along.

No I'm not, and for the record this is strictly non-sexual. If you want something more "sensual" you'll probably want swedish esalen work.

I'll travel in the San Francisco bay area, but if it's a long drive I'd like to have atleast two people to work on. Email me if you're interested.
BTW, anyone know what's going on with the message board for the local support group? It's down at the moment - don't know if it's temporary or what.

Back to a serious one, I imagine different people can get different things out of this one. So for what it's worth here it is.. This may be me last message here too - for a while anyway. So ta ta for now...

I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere.
I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers, but He was beyond their understanding.
I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him; He was nowhere else to be found.
