    Why is it the multitudes are "Taking the Bait(ease of life), and The Lies are being Swallowed(believed), Hook(money), Line(education, religion, media), and Sinker(progress, technology)"?

    Maybe it's because those who claim to know anything about it talks in weird analogies that aren't relevant or accurate and are so vague that they don't ease understanding?

    Understanding, and all that is Truly Good needs be received!

    Life itself is received with each and every breath we take.

    And who taught you how to breathe?

    So the need to receive, for The Life to be!

    Father Help! and HE does.......

    Such is A Simple and Spiritual Life.

    It is as The Messiah testified, 'Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die"!

    And then he questioned, "Do you believe this?"

    YES!

    However, i do realize that such seems bizarre to those who have never experienced The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The TRUTH"!

    Yet while breath is, HOPE IS!

    For Miracles do happen!

    Well, so far every human who ever lived, has died - the evidence is somewhat tilted in favour of exposing this Messiah as a fake, I am afraid.

    So it is for those who believe that life is of their flesh, and fleshly minds )-;

    You can be arrogantly sad for anyone you want to be. You can also bang your head against a wall. We will all watch in fascination.

    You mean simply arrogantly sad in your state of imagined superiority.

    Wow, you're being criticised for being unclear and this is what you decide to write back?

    I can entertain the thought that life is given by breath, even though the fact that people can hold their breaths proves that that is not fundamental, only an effect. Care to back up your reason to choose the word "who" when discussing learning how to breathe?

    "So the need to receive, for The Life to be!"
    I don't even know what that is supposed to mean.

    It is a simple life, I'll give you that, but I see no reason to believe that it is spiritual when those who claim that it is can't construct an argument and can hardly make themselves understood.

    If one wanted to write satirical comedy based on a Topic thread , I would vote overwhelmingly for Elderchild as a classic master , albeit unwitting .
    A general and wobbly OP as an excuse to be lectured on a Faith in which I have no interest -- as I am sure is the case with some others .
    Lucifer for King --- not half as bad as the Christians would have you believe

    Have you forgotten the Mother, elderchild?
    She, who gives life to everything and is the one and all - have you fallen into darkness, become prey to the one who feeds on forgetfulness and pride, elderchild?

    The Faithful and The Messiah are One with "Our Father and GOD" in HIS Family! (Eph3:15)

    And NEW "Jerusalem above is the mother of us all"! (Gal 4:26)

    Sad for you all who have yet to come out of the belly of your mother and seen "The Light that is Truth", for you have chosen to have your portion in the inner most portion of your mother earth )-;

    And as one laughingly told me, "i'll have a lot of company"!

    The response shook her foundation a bit, "You surely will! ALL BAD!" )-;

    And from the pit you will see the BORN ANEW sons of GOD in their Heavenly abode with their Brother The Messiah and "Our Father and GOD"!

    And a yearning and desire for deliverance from your own self will always be )-;

    All because you let religion have it's way with you!

    Simply, your 'god' is that which, what, or whom you desire and seek above all else!

    The #1 in the temporal life you have been given.......

    And yes, even atheists have a religion, for they see their 'god("I",id,ego,self)' each and every time they view their reflection in a mirror )-;

    "Come Out of her(babel>confusion>babylon<>world>religion), MY people"!

    Multiplied millions have been killed and enslaved in the name of the god(s) of this or that religion!

    For the fruit of death is bore of religion's way,
    because life is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!

    And while breath IS, HOPE IS there would be those who realize that Life is of The Spirit and not the flesh for they will "Come Out" of that which is of this wicked, evil world, and especially it's systems of religion!

    For The Faithful will not create a religion, because The Faithful ARE Family!

    So it is that, liken unto The Messiah, we choose to be but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" for we realize that our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven, and that soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last!

    Till then;

    Father Help! and HE does.......

    I don't see any issues with ease of life, belief, money to pay the bills, education, religion, media, or progress and tech.

    Could you make any less sense?

    To the OP, sorry to tell you; but your whole Jesus thing is also a religion.

    You all that are destroying Creation(air, water, land, vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light, Life, Love, Grace, Faith, Peace,,,,, ALL that is Truly GOOD) are senseless )-;

    I have to agree with Wolverine, you're not making sense. As far as I can tell, you're just spewing buzz-words. Unless you are willing to produce a proper argument, including the definition of all mentioned concepts (and a bit of grammar wouldn't hurt but I'm not going to be picky, English might not be your first language), you have the credibility of the crazy guy on the corner.
