I listen to Jesse cause he's a better copy of Christ than I am.

2018-09-13 18:19:37 UTC  

Aww lol

2018-09-13 18:19:41 UTC  

I like that he says that bc

2018-09-13 18:19:49 UTC  

Most ppl find a guru and follow them completely

2018-09-13 18:20:06 UTC  

While they may be a good influence, it takes away the persons own growth in a sense

2018-09-13 18:20:35 UTC  

You have to see it for yourself first, and then look to others like your thoughts and ideas are similar to theirs, so you admire them

2018-09-13 18:20:45 UTC  

many times, we don't know how to grow so we could just as soon grow bad as grow good

2018-09-13 18:21:05 UTC  

So that’s where I’m at with Jesse. It just feels that there is so much I agree with him on, and go from there

2018-09-13 18:21:25 UTC  

Just the lesson that "all thoughts are a lie" is enough to go the right way

2018-09-13 18:21:44 UTC  

🙏🏻

2018-09-13 18:21:48 UTC  

It works too

2018-09-13 18:23:30 UTC  

Other day I was thinking about an incident, and I saw my thoughts started getting paranoia. I started thinking on what the other person was thinking and such, and my thoughts were drawing on a conclusion. And I knew it was affecting me bc I was getting an anxious feeling in my chest. So I just thought “it’s a lie.” And everything stopped

2018-09-13 18:27:10 UTC  

That was a conflation of points and I would have to disagree there.

2018-09-13 18:27:37 UTC  

So to make sure I understand, @J_G_ Are you a Christian?

2018-09-13 18:31:23 UTC  

Christ teaches the truth and I agree. He died for my sins because sin is death. the wages of sin is death, and by forgiveness we are cleansed of our sins. when we accept the father within then we are drawn unto him and then we live forever. I don't take religious talk on face value especially christian because it is not always literal, it is in parable form, or metaphor if you will. that extra effort of interpretation moves us closer to God.

2018-09-13 18:32:04 UTC  

if we accept parable on face value, then we miss the point of the parable.

2018-09-13 18:32:36 UTC  

So you are a Christian?

2018-09-13 18:33:28 UTC  

I feel that it is a title, and I don't like to give myself titles

2018-09-13 18:33:36 UTC  

I'm pulling a JLP moment here. Lolz

2018-09-13 18:33:40 UTC  

it feels lazy to give myself a title

2018-09-13 18:33:45 UTC  

sure go ahead

2018-09-13 18:34:22 UTC  

I'm culturally a christian but I feel that 90% of christians make the good 10% look bad

2018-09-13 18:34:33 UTC  

not really but something like that

2018-09-13 18:34:36 UTC  

That happens

2018-09-13 18:34:42 UTC  

Happens in many religions though

2018-09-13 18:34:59 UTC  

To be frank, I don't understand the titles to religions.

2018-09-13 18:35:08 UTC  

Look toward god, cast everything else out

2018-09-13 18:35:10 UTC  

I don't understand the importance of giving names to religions

2018-09-13 18:35:17 UTC  

to me that is idolatry

2018-09-13 18:35:37 UTC  

I can see your point there

2018-09-13 18:35:42 UTC  

God told me to ignore all religions and go directly to him. But I follow Jesus

2018-09-13 18:36:04 UTC  

I follow Jesus as closely as possible

2018-09-13 18:36:10 UTC  

Jesse does say that to

2018-09-13 18:36:15 UTC  

Go directly to him

2018-09-13 18:36:20 UTC  

I also listen to Jesse, is that allowed?

2018-09-13 18:36:24 UTC  

😉

2018-09-13 18:36:45 UTC  

Religions *def* can complicate things

2018-09-13 18:36:51 UTC  

For many it does

2018-09-13 18:36:53 UTC  

But that’s okay

2018-09-13 18:37:00 UTC  

It’s a human condition

2018-09-13 18:37:05 UTC  

Because we’re not perfect
