Well, I don't know whose beliefs you are talking about, but they are not mine, so I will leave you to talk to those you are referring to.

I believe you can have a full serving of God without a helping of Jesus on the side.

Not quite accurate . . . since Christ is within the collective human consciousness as His Holy Spirit . . . we cannot physically avoid His help . . . but we can ignore it to our own detriment.

Ah, that went over your head. My bad.


What I'm saying is, one can have a connection with God without using Jesus Christ as his particular medium.

Not over my head . . . Christ is the ONLY human consciousness that achieved Perfect Resonance (Perfect Identity) with God's consciousness. His consciousness is the only actual connection available to the human race. We connect to God by achieving some harmonic resonance (some less than perfect resonance) with His consciousness in "love of God and each other." That is how the physics works.

These things just sound like opinions though.

I guess I just don't understand why all other religions/cultures must be discredited when it comes to matters of dealing with faith in God.

They don't need to be discredited. We can intellectually believe whatever our culture has taught us. The necessary acceptance of Christ is an inner acceptance of His guidance within our consciousness through "love of God and each other" whether or not we even know who He is. It is a structural aspect of our universe in the physics of it all (resonance) . . . no magic or ego-kissing involved.

About babies being saved. Babies are innocent of sin, therefore they will go to heaven. Anyone that knows and understands right from wrong will be judged because of it. Paul

Agreed.

My children found the bible to be something read, or listened to once. Nothing more. None of them own a bible as adults.

Books that reach the heart and soul? Those books are read, re-read, with a flashlight, long after bedtime. We always left fresh batteries in their night stands. I always hated leaving a book right at the good parts. The bible never piqued that kind of interest.
