In order for most 'new age'/old ideas spirituality to have freedom one must lower the 'moral bar' so to speak, to include the 'sins' that you find ok, and still indentify the ones that do not appeal to you/society.(November 7, 2015 at 12:07 pm)Drich Wrote: Plus direct access to God is a big plus especially in answering you 'good' people.
I don't think you've got anything I don't have there. I don't call it God but I also have direct access to something beyond my conscious mind .. provided I can remain interested and humble enough to tune it in. What I have has shown itself to be more brilliant and insightful than i alone. It too has a stake in my success .. defined on its own terms of course. There is plenty of mystery left in the world even after the death of the literal God.
I/Christianity still has sin, their status has not changed. what was wrong before is still wrong today. We are simply are no longer defined as being righteous (or not) by our ablity to keep the Law.
Quote:That certainly sounds like an odd sort of freedom. Freedom from the law by means of toeing the line? I guess. Knuckle under and you are free! How exhilarating.You married right?
Did you get married and are required to show love to your wife as apart of your contract?
Or
Did you get married because you loved her?
We don't toe the line for salvation. we toe the line because we want to. we want to show love to God.
