Smells like an April Fool joke to me, too. Even the first thread was fishy, given how verbose CRR can usually be

I've turned my back on all of their teachings. Even the ones that seem reasonably close to mainstream Christianity are subtly twisted away from Christ...

If you believe you're a Christian and desire to spend eternity with Christ, why not, go for it (though it might be better to enjoy it with other Christians in a more Christian setting).
If your reasons are less benign then you should probably think very carefully about what you truly hope to accomplish. This is one of their few rituals, and desecrating it is likely to bring a larger than usual backlash and make you appear crazy.

My personal opinion is that our physical form evolved and at some point "God" infused us with a soul; and later engaged in a similar process with sending the "Son". To that end trying to make distinctions as to whether love is unconditional or conditional is irrelevant (to me). Surely our love is only a reciprocation of the love that He first had for us?
1John. 4:9-13: In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
Hence, again I state, "God is Love".

Isn't it very human to enjoy being loved? Are you saying he wasn't merely human??

Maybe he wanted to be loved as a person, rather than for his job title

Children
by LittleToe inon children.
your children are not your children.. they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.. they come through you but not from you,.
and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.. you may give them your love but not your thoughts,.

Nvr:We're on the same page. I was addressing GreenDawn and others, but forgot to preface my comments with a name.
Kenneston:Agreed. And as has been stated before, it takes a minimum of three for the comment to be accurate. One to give, one to receive and one to observe and verify.

When you dwell in eternity does equality, as we understand it in human terms, have any meaning whatsoever?
I'm getting married in May, acquiring a wife and daughter. We are all of the same substance - human flesh. We will comprise a family unit and yet all have different roles. In what sense would you say we are and are not equals? Before you answer that, pause to consider the backlash you might get from my Fiancee
This whole subordination thing is a complete travesty. It misses the point entirely. Ironically we seem to make more of an issue of it than God does...
If you lived in eternal and perfect love would you give a hoot as to who is supposed to be better or greater than you, or not, as the case may be? IMHO raising the point above a peripheral issue obfuscates more important matters and missed the fact that our finite minds cannot comprehend the infinite anyway.
