Like, if you asked Native Americans if they believed in God and Christ his son,
they'd say they worship the spirit that's present in everything. We all know how that turned out. 😂😂😂
What if I said the first commandment was "love your daughter who is the Holy Spirit"? Would that really be such a huge deal?
Am I wrong then? Am I headed to hell just for being an idiot? 😛 🤣

you're just talking nonsense

what makes you say that?

those are human sins, and humans are the ones responsible for them.
You can't blame the New Testament for that—have you even actually read it?

Look, you aren't God, so you don't get to hand out commandments like that. And I'm not sure what part of that commandment is confusing to you? God is offering ways to find Him—so you can go see for yourself.

Look, there isn't a special hell for geniuses and a separate one for idiots—there's just hell.

"Christians" who don't put "god" in quotes are prone to (well) schizophrenia.👍😍☕
But you have to remember: the "divine" existed long, long before "Christians."👍
So, there's no such thing as exclusivity or searching for some massive divine principle in a tiny little Bible filled with small Jewish letters and a small "god" like Yahweh.😍 Which you might totally miss if you aren't reading carefully between the lines.😂😂😂

No, actually, the first commandment is to kiss God the Father with all your heart, soul, and mind. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.

Back this up with some kind of actual argument.

Well, obviously. God exists outside of past and future; He exists in eternity.

How is any of that "small," and does it really matter whose letters they are?

copperseal8 said:God is light.

Yeah, just like how Kristo used to talk about the light, right?

Sean Martinez4 said:Honestly, thinking is just too damn hard. 😍

How can you be so sure? Did you just read that somewhere or what? I agree there isn't much ideology involved, but I'm guessing you think God has nothing to do with spirituality, right?

WHAT IS GOD? (see signature)

Care to elaborate? Are you actually implying that I'm just "clueless"?

God simply is what He is—it’s just that everyone’s knowledge and perception of Him varies.

It’s honestly a bit sad that your perspective is like this. Just so we're clear, I don't think people who haven't experienced God are "bad"—take Buddhists, for example. They don't worship God, yet they have plenty of positive values (striving for spirituality, growing personally, letting go of worldly desires—that's all good), even if they haven't reached the full picture yet.
But as far as I can tell, there's nothing spiritual about your view.

Sean Martinez4 said:I mean, you're just stuck, and your consciousness isn't even really yours—it’s just been programmed. ☕
A truly spiritual person doesn't get hung up on ideologies defined by nouns like "God" or "the sun." 👍

What makes you think I'm "closed-minded" or that my own consciousness doesn't exist?

How can you be so sure about that? Did you just read that somewhere? I agree that there shouldn't be an ideology attached, but I get the feeling you think God has nothing to do with spirituality—am I hitting close to home there?

Sean Martinez4 said:I tried calling out that idiot, but the mods just nuked my post. I guess they can answer for him then 🙂

What exactly makes me "dim"?

On a separate note—and this isn't even about the actual debate—it seems you lack that certain sense of humor most people bring to this Spirituality subforum.

Sean Martinez4 said:I guess an average person is just someone who doesn't care about holistic awareness or even wants to. ☕
Am I a sinner? If I'm not, then what? And if I am, so what?

(I am)(I am not)=0 😬

Translation:
I'm a sinner, man. Exactly!
I'm not a sinner. Exactly!
I'm both a sinner and not a sinner. Exactly!
I'm neither a sinner nor not a sinner. Exactly!

Maybe that quadripolar Eastern female Yin logic is just better than the Western male Yang bipolar style of saying "it either is or it isn't."
It's got more dimensions, so it's probably better, right? 😍
Think of it this way in a Christian sense: (Satan)(God)=the exact same thing=0

So, what exactly is this "holistic consciousness" supposed to be?

Give me an answer first, then I'll tell you "what then."

Do you actually believe in good and evil?

Sean Martinez4 said:Man, I hate these if-loops... 😍

I'm assuming this is directed at me—could you walk me through what you mean? I didn't quite catch that.

Sean Martinez4 said:An average person doesn't sin and can't even sin, mostly because they aren't even aware of it... 👍😍☕

But who counts as an "average person" anyway? And how do you actually decide who is conscious of their actions? Are you really claiming you're someone who isn't prone to error?

I’m honestly crossing my fingers for a new project from him—Terminator 2 is probably my all-time favorite, and you can't go wrong with Titanic either.

This is getting into some pretty heavy territory—honestly, I’d rather move this conversation to private messages. If you have any specific questions or just want to hash things out one-on-one, just let me know and we can take it to the DMs.

Hannah Morris3 said:But how do you actually build willpower? The drive to get things done comes down to motivation. You can certainly work on your self-confidence and belief in yourself—which likely boosts your motivation to stay active and creative.

That’s exactly why I specified the kind of will I was talking about (in parentheses)
—by "will," I mean the will to live, the will to help others, the drive for personal growth, spirituality, and plenty of other things too.

casualtiger2 said:Is it actually possible to develop empathy, willpower, or intelligence—and does any of that tie back to spirituality?

Yeah, I'd say it's possible—empathy and willpower (at least the kind I'm talking about) definitely are. As for intelligence, maybe it's less about raw IQ and more about developing wisdom and a certain kind of mental maturity... and yeah, there's a massive connection there to spirituality.

Does anyone in Washington, D.C. know someone who could help me out? If you do, shoot me a DM—and if you've actually done this before, let me know what you usually charge.

My right elbow keeps popping—anyone know a solid chiropractor in the area?

Jerry Morales4 said:So, what does it even mean to reach God? I guess if God is truly almighty and all-powerful... you’d probably just disintegrate in His presence. It’s like standing too close to a massive forest fire.

Not likely.

Christian Johnson53 said:Given the scriptural teaching that no one comes to me (God) except through my son (Jesus Christ), I find myself wondering what becomes of the souls who never placed their faith in Christ? Furthermore, is it even possible for a spirit to reach God at all without that connection?
hi

It's true that Christ is the gateway to Paradise—though I wouldn't say that means you just have to "believe" in a superficial way (not that there isn't a much deeper intimacy for those who truly do), but rather that He is simply the entrance into the Kingdom of God. He is God's grace extended to the whole world.

Think of it this way: if you want to get into your own apartment, you have to open the door. It works the same way here. Even Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." There are plenty of examples in New Zealand where it's pretty clear who qualifies for the Kingdom of God and who doesn't.

Atlanta vs. Sochaux ended in a 3:3 draw—with Atlanta scoring twice in the 90th minute, no less. Honestly, I think Houillierov's management style is finally starting to show its cracks, and at this rate, there's no way they're taking home the next championship.
