Stealing from God

A better translation for evil in that verse is "calamity", or "disaster". Though ultimately, God is sovereign and can create whatever He wants.
I've heard a wise man once put it this way: God made evil possible, man made it actual.

Interesting. I like the quote.
Ultimately all any of us have are opinions and I can take every opinion I have backed with all the strong “feelings” that might go with them to the bank and I’ll get zero dollars and zero cents for a total of $0.00

Well. That's just it. It's all just someone's opinion unless we have a source of objective truth that is outside of our reality and realm of understanding. Without a God to give us an absolute standard of truth, right and wrong is just up to personal opinion. You can't say that anything is evil or wrong, because it might be good and right to someone else. What a majority believes does not determine absolute truth.

Anything that exists is the truth, provided there are not mental abstractions added to it.

St Francis of Assisi said:
“What you are looking for is what’s looking.”
When Ramana Maharishi was asked “what is god”
he answered:
“The answer is in the question.
What IS, is god.”

Having done my fair share of meditation as well as experimentation with psychedelics, we all live on 3 separate planes of existence at the same time.
Equally, “we” is an illusion. Everything is 1 thing appearing differently. Quantum physics of today proves what Hinduism, Christ in the gospel of Thomas,the Buddha and more were saying 5000 years ago.
Call it Tao, Christ / Krishna consciousness, Buddha nature, universal mind whatever.
Doesn’t matter what we call it and speaking it is corruption.

Meh. Don’t know. Life is suffering then we die

Anything that exists cannot be truth, for that would make it a material thing, which it is not. Truth by definition is "the quality or state of being true." Either something is true or it is false.

I've heard an astrophysist say that there are 10 known dimensions. In my youth I had experimented with psychedelics myself, but I have never experienced anything out of body, or apart from this reality or dimension. But I believe there are probably more than just ten. Yes, Quantum physics, from what I have heard, is quite a startling thing for those who have studied it in depth. I would recommend listening to Chuck Missler on that subject.

As a Christian, I believe we are a triune being, (threefold, having a body, soul and spirit), made in the image of our creator God. And I have never found in my life any more truth than in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I believe this truth has been revealed to me by revelation of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit "will guide you into all truth" (Jn.16:13). Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the TRUTH and the life, no one comes to the Father, (God), but through me." And there we have the trinity. Three in one, as we are three in one. Seek, and you will find. And the truth will set you free, my friend. 😊

Yep, it’s all a real trip that’s for sure.
If you want to ever go out of body and hang with Christ, Krishna, Buddha and any of the other avatars, try some DMT.

Definitely so your research tho.
I spent a year researching before I made a decision to partake.
Every single time I’ve come back to the body with tears stream down my face because of the incredible love and beauty of it all.

Anyway, may you be free from suffering and have peace all your days.
Gassho ❣️🙏

Yeah, I'm not going to be messing with any more of that. My brain has had enough. I don't want to see the other side. I've heard stories of people on DMT talking with demons. The only time I'm going out of body now is when I leave this rock. Do some more research on the Bible. Pray for the Holy Spirit for understanding and to reveal its hidden truths. You don't need drugs, just a willing and submissive spirit. The deeper you go, the more He'll reveal.

Yeah I was raised Catholic.
Jesus had a great message but unfortunately the ego turned his actual message into bullshit guilt and shame, fear and other such crap.

Jesus reportedly studded with the Buddha during his disappearance from childhood to adult. There’s a great BBC on it showing the historical evidence.
Very cool.
I study all the texts. I’m a Buddhist practitioner who uses any and all teachings that resonate and or reverberate as truth.
Love the Bhagavad Gita.

My DMT use was not recreational, it was psychedelic medicine therapy.
Very effective too.

Since you’re into Jesus as your avatar, look into the Gospel of Thomas, or don’t.

No matter what, I pray you have health, peace and happiness. 🙏
Aum ☸️ Shanti ☮️ Aum 🕉

I was raised by Catholic parents as well. (Only non practicing ones). But thank you for all that. God bless. I pray you find the real Jesus, and His peace that passes all understanding. And meme on!😄👍

Thanks for the prayers but that’s exactly how all the Abrahamic religions holy war genocides start and continue.
One person things they have “the real truth” and everyone else is wrong (purely ego driven insanity) then torture, murder, genocide, rape and all the wonderful rest starts.
Gotta love a good genocide in the name of loving gods 😆

I’ll happily accept prayers for peace, love, health, freedom from suffering or what have you but there is absolutely nothing wrong with my conception of god so no need for you to pray that I find your concept.

I’m glad yours is right for you tho. Just like mine is for me.
There are over 2200 known religions in the world (currently) and since they can’t all be wrong, they must all be right as god revealed himself, herself and itself to different peoples in different parts of the world in different ways.

There are 1000 ways to the top of the mountain but they all come together at the top.

I shall meme on 🙂
You too!! 👏🤝

I'll just leave this here ; )

As St Francis of Assisi said:
“What you are looking for is what’s looking.”
Call it Christ consciousness, Krishna consciousness, Awareness, Tao, universal mind, consciousness, Buddha nature or anything else, the truth is anything that never changes.
Awareness never changes. It always just is.

This is what Christ was pointing to in both the Bible and especially in the gospel of Thomas.

Your truth brother, not “the truth”
The truth is unknowable and ineffable.
Tat Tvam Asi
I am that I am
We are that 1 awareness which is god.
We all share the same awareness, that thing that is no-thing before thinking mind, the observer of all things.
We all also have a karmic body and are aware of our predicaments as souls with a body and mind playing out our roles in gods leela or play of forms.

All the world is better stage, it’s men and women merely actors.
For who though?
Who’s directing the play?

Not that which the eye sees but that by which the eye can see.
Not that which the ear hears, but that by which the air can hear.

Do you know who you are?
Where you came from before birth and where you will go following the death of the physical body?

What was your face before your parents were born?
