Your group discussion was fantastic. That's what I imagine it was many moons ago when people began to formulate what it was that moved them and fed their spirit.

As a student of astrology (because there is always more to learn about it), I am always in awe at how the energy (planetary motion) manifests in retrospect with synchronistic meaning of the archetypes involved but there is no way that I could ever predict exactly what will happen for anyone and I constantly tell people that. If you want predictions, there are others I will recommend. I will tell you the meaning of the energy present, period. But you are so right on. Sometimes we will be irritated and angry, sometimes elated and filled with joy. I say, "Keep a balance because getting lopsided will generate the opposite and we will not like the reflections!"

]]> Comment on What “NEW” Testament? by James Minze http://www.lrchouston.com/archive/what-new-testament.php/comment-page-1#comment-17189 James Minze Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:43:37 +0000 http://www.lrchouston.com/?p=5146#comment-17189 "Set in stone" OR "Progressive" ? Are any changes still possible? How or why not? I don't remember where, but I read that the Old and New where first published together as one book in the 1500s. Do they belong together? Dr. Phil would ask if we each have our own spirit or do we all share the same one? The true answer to that changes every thing. The "Spirit of Truth" mentioned in John would not be in everyone, but only those who believe. Are there people with no Spirit? So many questions, so few solid answers, I will leave it alone for now, and just listen, but I do thank you for the awesome insights. Merry Christmas, James Minze “Set in stone” OR “Progressive” ?

Try inserting the word opportunist where you used the word apostle and see how it fits. Follow Jesus to the kingdom, or follow Paul to church, but Paul is not God. Why do so many let Paul speak for God? Why does he get to make rules? He gives the Jews good reason to reject the new testament. Try 1 Corinthians 14:34 as a test of your church following the Bible? I have never seen one pass this test. Paul was not trusted by the true Apostles for very good reason. I hate liars, and Paul contradicts Jesus many times. You decide.

In one session, the point is made that it would be wholly unlike an Entity (in this case, "God") fully aware of the knowledge of Love to ever say “Thou shalt not.” Jesus' message seemed to resonate with this point, as he supplanted the "thou shalt nots" with the "I AMs".

They go to a Methodist day school, so I figure the questions are going to come my way soon. Let me know what YOU would say! You could start with the basics. Who is Jesus? Why did He die? What is all this about the BLOOD? You know...for starters. :-) I have been truly puzzled about what I am going to tell my precocious granddaughters about the Bible.

The written, historical library to which you refer and to which so many Christians herald their allegiance is simply one powerful embodiment of that everlasting story....no beginning and no end! It's a wonderful guide among many that's meant to point us onward to ever greater and greater expansion. Of course I could be entirely wrong about it all and that would be a beautiful thing too, because in that "wrongness", expansion is still inevitable :) I’ve come to embrace the idea that our very lives are the Holy Scriptures themselves, with new poetry, prose and mythologies being crafted every day by virtue of the choices we make in any given moment.
