**John 4:13-14 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<13> Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, <14> but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life." ```

in the states yes

Yup.

@agag do you understand the purpose "water" plays spiritually?

it is an analogy

he is not speaking about literal water

their architecture pales in comparison to catholic churches

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] yeah He's not talking about literal bread either

water is the purification of the mind

Christ uses analogies for Himself

the water Jesus gives you is the peace you attain in thinking of Him and attaining His bliss, through Him you access the Father

Modern Conservatives are Liberals at a slower rate

a thought isnt sin, dwelling on a thought is sin

I wish the green party wasnt just a cancerous group chat of a ton of anti-vax soccer moms.

@agag The first step to perfection is to desire and love perfection.

And what can be perfect but God?

Yup

You are taking things too literally I'm afraid.

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] yes you need to desire and love perfection

but you will never achieve it

if we were perfect, we wouldnt be susceptible to corruption

no man will ever achieve perfection in this life

so since we arent perfect all we can do is keep the corruption as low as possible

by rejecting it

i didnt say it did

You haven't seen corruption unless you seen India

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] What exactly do you think of when you think of Jesus?

but Jesus was also born without original sin

designated

only Christ and His Mother were born without original sin, every other person has it

Not sinning+confession and repent and change= perfect

Like if I were to meditate and focus on Christ

i think of a shredded tall white guy with blonde hair riding a velociraptor

what if god is an alien

What is original sin

God is an alien by our definition
