I own this book. I read this post and went to retrieve it and this page (216) was bookmarked. This book was my grandma's book. She passed last august. Before she died I spoke with her about TTaT. She kept an open mind and listened. I believe when she died she knew it was all a lie. I firmly think my grandparents hung around as long as they did because of ' This generation shall not pass ' bullshit. They were convinced they would see the great tribulation I believe. What a pathetic cult. peaceall Eric

Why Do People Kill?

by minimus in

i know that killing has gone on since the beginning of time.. but i wonder why some people kill?.

are they typically screwy in the head?.

are they just angry at the world or their family member or their boss?.

If you believe we are created in Gods image, was not god the giver of life and death? So with that in mind are we not the image of our creator in giving life and taking lives? Instinctual maybe? Do we humans not mimic our fathers emotions?

About what one thing do you find yourself being a real SNOB?

by Terry in

you know, to fit in....to be a part of our own family or group and not be a total nerd or contrarian.. we hold our tongue.

we smile and nod.. but, then....there is at least one thing we just can't go along with because it is too important.. why?

because we are a total snob.

The Best Fade Ever

by Farkel in

i noticed there are current topics on fading so i thought i would re-share my own fade.

i will be brief.. my straw that broke the camel's back was from an arrogant asshole circuit overseer while i was a ministerial servant and pioneer.

i will save you the details.

If you believe God exists, what are your thoughts on what pleases him most?

by Fernando in

our family has come to believe that god really wants each individual to personally and independently seek, find and walk with him - quite apart from what other humans say, think, believe or do.. we believe we were created as semi-autonomous beings.

when our inner compass is recalibrated, and we then self-direct, the outcomes seem best.. when we are instead led by humans, their hierarchies, organisations and ideas, the outcomes on the whole seem unfavourable.

legalism (rules), moralism (a moral code), ethnocentrism (doctrine), and gnosticism (knowledge) may seem meritorious.. yet these do not seem to lead to the deep inner transformation needed.

Fernando, I understand your concept of the good news. This is what Shelby (aguest) tries to get us to understand. also Tec. This personal walk/relationship with Christ. No religious interference. Just one on one. To answer your question, I think if we ate of the tree of knowledge God expects us to have the brains to figure it out. But theres one flaw. Imperfection. Seems it been there since day one. It's hard to know what path to follow when we keep stumbling ourselves. How can we truly please him? I'll stick with love and respect of mankind. peaceall paulnotsaul
