So this religious viewpoint of yours leads you to count yourself better than anyone who doesn't share your views and to insult and curse at them. I don't think much of a belief system that engenders such arrogance and intolerance.
The right answer to the wrong question is still the wrong answer to the real question.

Nah, you just missed the point and twisted his words.
He's talking about "experience of life is divine" while only talking about the divine doesn't lead to much thus becoming of little value.
Do you know what he means by "experience of life is divine"?

Perhaps not, and I for one lose my appetite when I read the Kitchen Fried Chicken abortion of an ad campaign slogan.
Theyd have been better off just saying, KFC, its not as bad for you as it was before and done better.
But, my point, and yes, I have one, is that them merging their stores with taco bell was ingenious. It allows one to sample a bit from both menus, though I myself get the majority from the taco bell side in the form of quesadillas. I honestly dont even care if it is poison in those ffers.
I'm Spanking Monkey now....err...I mean I'm a Spanking Monkey now...that shoots milk Too much. I know.
I seem addicted to those "Loaded potato bites" from Arby's. They must be fairly deadly in the fat department. Deep fried potato filled with bacon and cheese.
I don't know if that double down thing has made it here yet but I've read about people eating them on another forum.
I keep getting KFC and being dissapointed with the chicken.

Yes, I know the meaning to which you are referring; I also know the meaning, the existence of which you are deliberately ignoring. Do you know the difference between "the experience of life is divine," and "it is in life that we experience the divine"?
The right answer to the wrong question is still the wrong answer to the real question.
Further, do you understand the judgmentalism and condescension of assuming that because one indulges one's hobby of etymology with regard to some words related to the divine, that one's experience of the divine is therefore limited to those words? Especially when a previous poster has illegitimately shed doubt upon the existence of the divine based upon a misconception concerning the relationship between the morphing of those words and translation?

Yeah, the first one is a statement defining what is divine. The second states that during life we experience the divine, but it fails to define what "divine" is.
It seems that you're chasing something that will constantly run away from you at the same rate that you chase it.

You cannot define what the divine is because for everyone it will be different. Also, when you use words you lose a lot in translation no matter how many times you look at it. So to answer Lionz question Yah/jah/G to the O to the D, does walk the Earth as the Son, which would be me, you, bbs, lionz, but not his trolls and everyone else that plays CC. We are all sons and daughters of the divine and every plant and animal and solar ray, electron, etc.
Nola - What's been up bro? You make it back to Lousiana? What if you and I are sons of Him in a He created us sense and yet He has a personal consciousness that walked earth as Yahushua and went through torture and death in order to balance things out and save us from a natural decline towards spiritual death resulting from us having trangressed universal non-subjective moral Law?
Gringo - *Messianic Jewish Synagogue ...whoops. Anyway, thanks. I at least have some very close online friends who you would say have a very similar outlook on things to us maybe. You ever gone in an aol chat room before?

Good man. I made it back to the N.O. I could go on about consciousness if you'd like. Just leave balance to weights and justice and justice doesn't exist. Who is us and what are the similar outlooks? Your oddly Christian view on the world?

I was waiting for Lionz to answer since your question was directed at him, but I can take my guess at what he would consider similar in our outlooks, and he can correct me if he wants to.
One would be recognizing the importance of the Jewish roots of who Yeshua (Jesus) was/is and what he did. He did not show up in a vacuum. Another would be, rather than just accepting what some denomination, or church tradition in general says, examining for one's self what God says and what it means.
We disagree on a number of our conclusions, but from what I read we seem to have these things in common, and I think that's what he was referring to.
The right answer to the wrong question is still the wrong answer to the real question.

Nope; why? Is there one you think I'd be interested in?

Nola - Gringo might be spot on or basically spot on with what was meant. Maybe that's a name of someone you would consider to be much less odd than myself though? : )
Gringo - There might be. I pretty regularly have a Yahushua room opened under Life and have some friends you could enjoy speaking with?
