Elizabeth. There is no 'devil' and hell is only what the ego would make of the moment. Furthermore, you don't have to 'go anywhere' to get to God. The...
We sing this song quite often in our Sunday Celebration services. Since our Religious Science spiritual community is transdenominational, in that we honor...
Hello, I hope your right and there is no devil. But what do you say about the Gospel quote "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be...

This is just a personal reflection, take it with a grain of salt if you will. My 'inclusivism' is drawn from Matthew 25:31-46. The Parable of the Sheep and the...
Hi Joshua, It’s great to have you participating in our group again. And special thanks for this, your personal reflection, with which I heartily agree! And...
Hi James, It’s always a pleasure to have someone join our Forum who truly loves Teilhard. We look forward to hearing how you came to know Teilhard and why ...
The only place we can contact the Christ is within ourselves, at that deep center of higher consciousness where we are truly One with that which created us...
Hi Raymond ~ Well, this is certainly worth rethinking, about what temptation really means. Temptation = the wish to remain in agony and hell. When we are...
You might have noticed there is great evil in this world. Are you blaming all this evil on God? Did gentle Jesus get inside of Hitler and make him do what he...
It must be nice to be in a body that does not cause you, "any agony of suffering." As far as I know none of my health problems hate me. In fact I bet some of...
Hi Joshua, This reminds me of the wellknown greeting ( common in Hindu and Buddhist countries but also used by many Westerners) called 'Namasta' meaning; 'The...
Hi Bill, Of course, Jesus was not a Christian! He also said that the Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN you and not 'out-there' as Christianity wants us to believe....

The whole point of the crucifixion is that Jesus Christ was clearly demonstrating that he was 'not a body.' Many sincere Christians have missed this point...
Hey Jelke ~ Good point! We still don't hear the message of Christ, even though we have received it! But 2000 years later we still believe that we are right...
I wish I had time to engage these ideas, because so many of them I find so very fascinating and of important depth, and ones I so heartily disagree with. I...
I hear you! Who has time to discover the truth? We make time for so many things and activities, and it seems an impossible task to ever really know what is...
What you call 'evil' is simply 'insanity' in my sight. Reality is not insane, and insanity is not real. Of course I don't blame God for all the insanity in the...
Hi Joshua, I get your point. The term 'Kingdom' can indeed have different meanings. However, when taking into context, the phrase: 'The Kingdom of Heaven is...
1 John 4 Test the Spirits Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have...
I put the word, "injured" into the Bible gateway keyword search engine and tried the entire NT in every English version. They have 21 if them. This is what I...
Details! Judging from the outcome of the crucifixion, Jesus made this statement by PAUL come to life! Thanks for looking that up. I'm wrong. You are...
