In a sense,yes.
But not from everlasting damnation. There is no such thing as you have conceived it. His mission was-is-to save you from not knowing and experiencing Who You Really Are. His intention was to demonstrate that by showing you what you can become.Indeed, what you are-if you will only accept it.
Jesus sought to lead by example.That is why he said,"I am the way and the life.Follow me."He didn't mean "follow me" in the sense that you would all become his "followers," but in the sense that you would all follow his example and become one with God. He said,"I and the Father are One, and ye are my brethren." He couldn't have put it more plainly.

But how many of you would happily torture, kill, and condemn to eternal torment just because they didn't listen to you?

Maintaining a strict Biblical perspective the leviathan can breathe fire (Job 41:18-21), can fly (Job 41:5), it cannot be pierced with spears or harpoons (Job 41:7), its scales are so closely fit that there is no room between them (Job 41:15-16), it walks upright (Job 41:12), its mouth is powerful and contains many formidable teeth (Job 41:14), its underbelly has sharp scales that could cut a person (Job 41:30), and, over all, it is a terrifying creature.

hey so some of my close friends have this language that we talk in. it's made up...and not many people could understand us. but we kinda told a lot of other people how to speak it... so everyone knows what were saying now....

so i'm looking for a new language that is based off english. what i mean is, you alter the word, not learn new grammar and vocabulary. so for example in pig latin you take the first letter nad put it at the end adding a to the end...

so i was wondering if any of you have any?

Constantly having the threat of violence hanging over thier heads, by their own people? Going so far as to beat and rape their own gang members in prison over some bullcrap idea of how things are supposed to be? And saying the White Man "makes" them do these things?

Say! He is God, the One!
The Eternally Besought of all!

And there is nothing comparable to Him."

My parents had a BBQ yesterday and about 35 people showed up. A lot of people brought stuff to eat even though it wasn't asked of them. One couple brought a cheese cake. hey were one of the first people to leave and took the last two slices home with them. Everyone else stayed until late into the night and many people had asked, after the couple left, if there was any of that cheese cake left. Was it rude for them to take it back home with them?

Beat That Slave

"And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes." (Luke 12:47)

Comment

Note, the word "servant" here means slave. The Biblical Jesus lived in a time when slavery flourished, yet He never spoke or fought against it.

"English North Americans embraced slavery because they were Christians, not in spite of it... It was Christianity that perverted the African's way of life. Not leaving them alone was the real tragedy."
--Forrest G. Wood

People who are far more imperfect and sinful have spoken out and worked to stamp out slavery and other forms of the flesh trade.

I look at some of these questions and answers from Racists Trolls on here and it really is SO SAD that people have to spend their days being stressed and having their hearts filled with so much hate and anger. Day after day, after day, after day, HATE, HATE, HATE!......... They've built this prison for themselves and they have to stress out about something they will NEVER-EVER change and never, ever have control over.
THANK YOU GOD, for allowing me to be happy and pleasant and fullfilled in my life and having the ability to love everyone, regardless of their race or gender etc...
.
THANK YOU GOD for protecting me from evil by not allowing Satan to rule me. I'm so happy I was raised in a good family who loves and respects ALL of human life. LIFE IF SO GOOD!

I feel so sorry for your trolls. You are so lost and you make yourselves look like such fools to most of society. Have fun going NO WHERE.

But he doesn't because he doesn't exist--People who believe in him have a problem with reality and accepting responsibility for their actions. Look in the mirror and blame yourself for a change instead of an imaginary bad guy

Enough folks have responded to the Oneness questions saying the self is not God that I thought mabe it should be jabbered about.

The point of the comments about there not being multiple souls or free will or independently existing humans is that the human is an illusory identity, an imagined self, a conceptual egoic identity. The human is not God; it is more accurately the expression of God. All of physicality is happeing 'within' the Oneness that is God, as an expression. Nonduality does not imply that one perceived part of the duality is the Essence of the One, it implies there are no parts. This is just mind's confusion brought on by it's resistance to the idea that it's not what it thinks it is. To see yourself as God is not to project your human ego into God; rather it is to die to the individual you imagine yourself to be.

You have no free will as an individual simply because there is no individual.
