I listen to Jesse cause he's a better copy of Christ than I am.
Aww lol
I like that he says that bc
Most ppl find a guru and follow them completely
While they may be a good influence, it takes away the persons own growth in a sense
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
many times, we don't know how to grow so we could just as soon grow bad as grow good
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
Just the lesson that "all thoughts are a lie" is enough to go the right way
🙏🏻
It works too
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
That was a conflation of points and I would have to disagree there.
So to make sure I understand, @J_G_ Are you a Christian?
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.
if we accept parable on face value, then we miss the point of the parable.
So you are a Christian?
I feel that it is a title, and I don't like to give myself titles
I'm pulling a JLP moment here. Lolz
it feels lazy to give myself a title
I'm culturally a christian but I feel that 90% of christians make the good 10% look bad
not really but something like that
That happens
Happens in many religions though
To be frank, I don't understand the titles to religions.
Look toward god, cast everything else out
I don't understand the importance of giving names to religions
to me that is idolatry
I can see your point there
God told me to ignore all religions and go directly to him. But I follow Jesus
I follow Jesus as closely as possible
Jesse does say that to
Go directly to him
I also listen to Jesse, is that allowed?
😉
Religions *def* can complicate things
For many it does
But that’s okay
It’s a human condition
Because we’re not perfect
