@Metadrene Here is the deal Jesus is the archetype the one to show you the way of what the image of God looks like represented in human form. You as a human must also die like he did. But that does not separate you from the shared divinity with the father just like him..
@JoshuaBarzon The idea of Echad or oneness in the biblical narrative is well established. Thinking of the father is in tandem with thinking of the son or the spirit. They should not be separated. Just like you should not separate the human you and I from this connection.
@renewingprotest Life without constraints and law is a life of chaos and disorder. You will assuredly find yourself like our ancient fathers wandering hungry and lost in a wilderness.
@rabbriansamuel You too must also make the sacrifice of your life for the sake of life. Its the meaning of sacrifice and the paradox of this path. You must die to live.
@DavidJHarrisJr God does not know those who are not properly orientated towards the heavens. Many will say Lord Lord and find destruction. The Pope does not get to judge who has the ear of God.
