Having been involved in meditation and the pursuit of achieving samadhi and understanding the nature of God, I had not troubled myself to truly get my head around what it is ‘Christians’ believe, but I think I finally get it – you believe that God will punish you for your sins unless you accept the doctrine that Jesus selflessly spilt his blood so that you might have a ‘way out’ if only you understand what a great thing it was Jesus did, in suffering for us, and it is a great comfort to know that you can escape punishment simply by loudly asserting how great Jesus is and how grateful you are, and that since you want to please Jesus, then you will try and be good and all that, but you don’t have to be as good as jesus cause He loves you, and the more you are grateful, the more likely it is you will go to heaven when he comes back and judges everyone. I tbink I get it now. I understand what you feel, but this dogma is utterly wrong. Sorry.I don’t make the rules.I am just the messenger.
Hey – I’m either a liar, crazy, or…I’m right. Stay tuned for the REAL TRUTH.
