Perhaps zero is next to godliness... Zero and less expectations on others, then love, kisses and brotherhood FOR errr, YOU. Perhaps I am a rock icon. But I love you more than myself cuz i have ideals of love for you beyond my own situation and any worldly ambitions.. kiss you not me.

Are you quoting from the apocrypha? Was Judas the actual Jesus (martyr) also? How many martyrs can you fit in one soup before the soup begins to spoil?

Gays don't make other gays... Heterosexuals who are mutually bi make gays. It is believed by science that all women are bi (thought many prefer men) and a great percentage of men are bi also. So there you have it. Homosexuality is a natural occurrence of nature. It has nothing to do with mothers who force their bisexuality on their offspring. The original sin, shame on men for imposing this on women. Men are much more sinful than women. Also, the y chromosome was taken from the rib of x...

The "Word of God" is NOT the will of God... Standing on shaky ground and conflicting verses with no possible way of resolving the contradictions, but WAR so I advise chuck the whole thing. Maybe keep the gay 30 year old (Matthew Shepherd) Jesus thing nailed to a cross to show the world's hate for gays.... Other than that the racist "chosen people" "malarkey" [Craig's favorite word...] is nothing but that a hunk of steaming pan fried noodles.

I had a red rag top Chevy Impala and sold it to go WOW.

Waking up from "the way" was harder than it was being lulled to sleep by the idiotic doctrines. I learned early that to outright deny "God" was "the way" to truth and holiness. A collegiate lesbian in a bar in Maine set me free, not Wierwille. If God does have a problem with our denial of his/her laws, well, God does have a mouth (it is called consequence) and he/she will eventually tell us.

I was taught by "the way" that every time I made love to my gay lover that I was being possessed by demons. I will never take authoritatively any religion that defaces my sacred rite to being gay and following my heart and love. Or shall we all go back to pre arranged marriages and have people committing suicide and joining convents just to escape heterosexual and pre arranged marriages? It took me many years to get over the emotional damage that the way and biblical doctrine did to my head and heart. I have learned to reject it all!!! FIRST! then, and only then, if God has an issue with me he/she can get of their fat lazy butt and tell me themselves... I don't need false prophets and teachers filling me with their homophobia while my heart has ordained another way for me. I would rather go to hell than be untrue to my heart. Spirit is invisible... but DNA is quite visible and the reason for why people are gay. Conservative Christians are still in the jungles with the apes trying to evolve into liberals.

I only had one meal yesterday, two store bought frozen beef and bean burritos... I stepped on the scale today and had lost two more lbs. I haven't been this weight in nearly a couple years. So this morning I had two large eggs sunny side up, two pieces of multi-grain toast, two toasted hash brown with ketchup, a sausage patty and a coffee cup of OJ... Now I don't plan to eat again for at least 8 hours... And a few assorted vitamins. Weight 189 down from 200 total of 12 lbs and counting. I feel GREAT! When I walk my legs even feel lighter. In the next 8 hours I will be only drinking ice water and or decaf coffee. Tonight I plan on having a small portion of broiled steak and Brussels sprouts with mashed potatoes tonight.

I have to admit that in the entire time I have been doing this diet I have only been able to go two of the days with only one meal. This diet is about an ideal... I usually give in and snack. But, overall I still lose weight and that is the objective. Sometimes if you overshoot you are at least guaranteed hitting the target. As a singer when I have to hit a really high note, only if I shoot higher than the note am I actually able to hit the note right on.

Nowhere did I imply that one should "deprive yourself totally of either fat, protein or carbs". That is what the, errr, one meal a day is for... You might consider the furnace already has plenty of fat already :) The Health Benefits of Fasting http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1834

I just lost ten pounds in the last month! YAY! It was not easy but it was much easier than most of the things I was trying previously. This is not a gimmick and it will not only not cost you a thing but it will save you a considerable amount of money. Believe it or not, to me it was easier losing weight than it has been staying over weight. I have about twenty more lbs to lose.. So ten lbs seems like a small amount but consider carrying around a ten lb bag of potatoes. Let‘s first talk about pain. They say, “no pain no gain…” I say, “no pain no loss…” The pain I refer to is stomach pangs. If one does not eat for an extended period of time the stomach pangs eventually set in, sometimes they can set in a couple of hours after a meal. I can get stomach pangs that not only are quite virulent but they can give me headaches, ringing in my ears, nausea, dizziness and abdominal discomfort. I can go for hours with stomach pangs... I restarted this diet plan after nearly a year of working out in the gym only to actually gain more weight… My favorite exercise was the elliptical. I would run off 400 to 500 calories a day but not every day but an average of about 4 days a week. My logic was it would speed up my metabolism… Well it did absolutely nothing other than to give me leg tone under all the fat… I remembered when I had gone on the starvation diet once before and lost thirty lbs. This was after so many diets that I lost count. I would never even consider throwing up a meal after eating it so that was out of the question. The outline of this diet is that you forget about breakfast in the morning. (but you can take vitamins with water) In fact this is perhaps the only extra expense you might incur on this diet. The goal is one small meal a day… Listen to your body??? NO!!!! You body is a fanatic eataholic. It will lead you off a cliff without even blinking! Look at all of the obese people in the world. This is due to them listening to their bodies. The key is to become immune to the pangs your body throws at you. BELIEVE ME this diet is not going to harm you more than being overweight… I do not expect you to be able to stick to one meal a day in fact that is not really recommended. It is the goal but it is figured in that cheating will be and is acceptable. So if you manage to go one day a week with only one small meal then that is ok. But the rest of the days a week should be either two small meals or three very small meals (one to two days a week)… I have learned a lot about my body doing this diet. This diet will also in the long run help one learn to conquer other addictions too! Drinking, smoking and worse. It is learning how to deprive the body of its wants versus its needs. Pain becomes your friend. In other words, if your stomach is not growling and wreaking havoc you are not losing weight. SO… GET USED TO IT. The absolute donts in this diet… NO soda, candy or junk food , Keep fried foods at a minimum but they are ok in small portions.. NO Caffeine! (Caffeine makes the pangs unbearable and RADICALLY depletes your body of vital nutrients.) DRINK WATER... Black decaf, no sugar is highly recommended for the antioxidants. Alcohol should be avoided so as not to be living off the empty calories of the beverages. The one to two meals a day need to be nutritious… If you drink juices like orange, apple or other use a shot glass and only drink it a few times a day. Not to cure the pangs though. Let them run their course and stabilize before you drink juices. The moment you stop overeating the body will go through a “radical” change. This change is visible even a few days on the diet. WHY? This is the beauty of this diet… When one begins to starve the body, the body goes into protective mode. It turn on vital genes that send various proteins to your cells to protect them from damage. This almost never happen to a person who constantly overeats. So this is why there is no worry in actually starting this diet. The main worry is not getting enough water soluble minerals and nutrients. A multi-vitamin really does not work here, in fact I can only take a multi-vitamin three to four days a week otherwise it gives me dry mouth and that is really not good. Bauch and Laumb makes an eye formula that has only the vital nutrients that are often needed “daily”, with carotene. I recommend this as a daily supplement or something comparable. MOST of the things in a multivitamin you get in your daily intake of general foods anyway. Thank your body for the stomach pangs… revel in them, enjoy them, because when you feel the pangs that alone means you are losing weight. No pangs no weight loss. So if you do not bring your body to the point of pangs nearly every day you will not succeed in understanding how to take over your bodies possession of your habit patterns of over satiating wants. Weigh what is worse.. Walking up a hill and being out of breath? Not being able to secure a job because the boss is prejudice against obese people. Losing a lover or not gaining a lover because you are not fit. (sad but true) I prefer the pangs to not to being out of breath every time I walk up stairs. Just a few days on this diet and stairs will be radically easier to traverse. Friends will remark totally unsolicited about the positive change in your appearance. So this makes the pangs much more bearable if not even in a weird way, welcomed. If you fall off your diet for a day or so and eat everything in sight don’t worry. You can’t gain it all back in a day… Just get back on your diet. In fact, I recommend a day a week of moderate feasting to give the body a rest. The objective is to every day aim for the one meal a day idea even though you know it is not obtainable, If it is obtainable for you then you should back off and feed yourself more a few days a week. And as I said one day a week maybe a feast. If you get stomach pangs and then get a wave of nausea then thank your body for that too. I am not sure if I am right about this but I attribute that rare nausea to your body burning off old fat that has sat around on your body for a while and your body just burnt it off. This "old fat" I think to be very unhealthy and my ideal is it holds toxins within your body for perhaps many years. So that sudden wave of nausea was it being burnt from your body completely. It will pass also. This diet is about quality food… When I am not on this diet I pretty much eat everything. I told you, you will save money on this diet… Well consider how expensive food has gotten. So don’t eat cheap food just less food. Don’t eat Ramen noodles for your only meal a day. Don’t buy food for the month… Walk to the grocery store every day for exercise. Don’t stop at a fast food joint on the way to the supermarket wait till you get home prepare the meal and hold eating off as long as you can. The longer you take to prepare your food the more your body burns off. DO NOT ABUSE THIS DIET. Make a well balanced meal broiled steak with potatoes and a healthy fresh vegetable. Since you are not eating your stomach will shrink and tell you it is full MUCH sooner. Egg sandwiches with ham and cheese can hold you over for a long time. You can eat a breakfast for supper. Stay away from pancakes and such, there is not enough protein for this diet and it will not satisfy your stomach. I find if I eat first thing in the morning I will snack and eat all day and I won’t lose a single gram of weight. I know they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day… To a fat person every meal is the most important meal. I am only telling you what works for me… You will learn this is a lifestyle and not merely a diet. Once you get to the weight you want to be if you go back to your old eating habits you will gain it all back within a year or so. For vitamins I take an antioxidant formula and occasionally a multivitamin, 5 to 6000 IU a day of vitamin D, Fish oil, and I drink milk (NEVER soda) with meals… Exercise is not necessary on this diet. Do not go a day without eating. Do not eat one meal a day for more than three days in a row. Protein is very important in this diet so load up on high protein foods when you do eat. Eat a hearty meal. Once you learn to successfully deprive your body of food, other habits can be eradicated by learning to ignore your bodies impulses. Like your body may say today I am going to get drunk, tell your body NO… But just be firm and unbending and you will be able to conquer your body’s bad habits. This diet will train you to be able to attack other habits also with success. Expect to feel much better within weeks. You will notice lbs come off within days. As I said if you fall off your diet just get back on it. Realize this is the ONLY way to lose weight is by lowering caloric intake. If you get slight headaches realize you also have fat in your head and face that is being burnt too. Take a mild pain reliever. If the pangs get bad don’t give in just spite your body and take a nap.. You will wake up a few hours later with no headache, no stomach pangs and a quarter pound lighter. Then treat your body to a very nutritious meal and your stomach will talk loudly to you and send you signals of approval. Your body will in this time turn on vital life prolonging genes and perhaps extend your life and heart health for even decades… I don't think you should lose more than 5 lbs a week so keep that in mind too. People may say this diet is unhealthy, but I will tell you that it works and is much less of an evil than staying obese... Your body is a furnace put it to work for you. People have been fasting since time began. This is technically not really fasting either… Good luck and post your results and questions here…

"Nothing new under the sun..." Nothing = zero New = zero (beginning) Under = Zero (zero resides "under" all values) The sun = zero (a sphere) What could be the purpose of mentioning zero four times in one verse? Also Thought, Another unrelated thought, Either God is ambiguous or the word does not fit like a hand in a glove and certain scriptures are erroneous.

Haha I promise I won't let it go to my head (hehe) My heart belongs to zero :)

Wow, I fell asleep tonight and the exact moment I fell asleep I was back in Norway... Weird huh? I was filled with this "olden feeling" that touched my heart. The world seemed to be shaded in the color sepia. I seemed to be wandering freely in some familiar countryside. I felt the presence of a benevolent charismatic woman... Then I saw a cage with wheels like a lion's cage with bars from a kirkos Gr. (circus/zero/circle/ring) then I woke up. Something is a brew... (I gotta stop eating late at night) :)

I feel a new revelation coming on. Usually I don't dream at all then suddenly I get flooded by imagery that I need to write it down. They are different than normal dreams. They are spiritual in nature. I just thought I might alert you all that I might start spouting out revelation again. I wonder where the spirit is going to take me next. I had a dream that I journeyed to the country of Norway, the land of my forefathers. It had the earmarks of a vision. I am sure that probably then next time I sleep it will arrive more fully. Be it stone tablets, secret codices of hidden knowledge or long lost epistles, I feel it is already in my head. How does revelation fit in with zero if zero represents silence? I wish interested parties could come with me on this journey. They are quite remarkable to behold. The midnight sun has awakened me to hear its voice. Holy Holy Holy...

It seems evident that as Paul wrote to several churches, some were perhaps complete failures and some were not. Thus it really depends on to whom were the words specifically concerning. Also most historical biblical scholars don't believe that 1 or 2 Timothy were written by Paul... Though some say second Timothy might have been written by Paul. Most concur that first Timothy was not written by Paul. In particular the church of Galatia is not mentioned as being a success. Consider that Galatia was in modern day Turkey and would have had considerable conflicts with the tribes of Ishmael. As we see today with Sharia law, Galatians apparently did not free them from "the law"...

I thank all concerned parties for helping me cope with this kind of situation. I will not take it to heart any longer. I am rubber and they are glue... :) I know my heart and my capacity to love and I won't let my joy and peace be eclipsed by their immature and vindictive nature. I wish no evil will and in time they may sense my patience and compassion. Yes, I sometimes (maybe often) speak openly against the Bible but I do it with a desire to know the truth and not just believe it because someone else says so. I have no fear in putting God to the test... I am tired of the divisive nature of many of the scriptures (three religions killing each other for many centuries) and these people just prove my point about the dangers of how the orthodoxy has radicalized their minds. I am moving on and I will, take it as a compliment. THANKS! Yes, I'm making lemon-aid, extra sweet and the cherry pits I will plant in my backyard and try and grow a tree. Much Love DWW

I don't often check my account setting here but today I did and noticed that two people have voted my post down. Why didn't they just spit in my face? A man profiteth little in his own country. I like conversing here and I even love my enemies... but again I think it is caused by the male dominated, hate the gay guy homophobia, that caused me to reject "the way" in the first place. I guess these homophobes expect me to just believe everything they say while they claim to deny blind faith. I have close to twenty thousand friends on other forums, and a group I created myself with eight thousand loving members from nearly every country in the world.... And they added themselves as friends AND joined my group... I think I know who voted me down too, but I refuse to think evil or retaliate in the same petty way.... I am a better man. I know my ideas are often fanciful, sometime unorthodox and even bordering on heretical but I am not vindictive, just sometimes verbally opinionated. I posted this in the doctrinal topic because that is the subject I usually post in anyway. If anyone cares about me even as just a human being please try and reverse these attacks on my character and vote me up to at least zero. I don't want to leave this world hated...

How about if Paul and Jesus were "cunningly devised fables" created by visionary liberal Jews and Greek scribes of the first century to combat the racist Old Testament doctrines? Tarsus a very multicultural city of liberal strata. In other words, it was written for the radically orthodox of the faiths, yet, if you are/were already liberal to moderate you don't even need the Bible... (like the kind Samaritan) Josephus doesn't even record Herod's slaughter of the innocents in the opening of the book of Matthew. Doesn't it seem odd that Josephus writes of Herod but never mentions the slaughter of perhaps many thousands of infants?

Perhaps a better question is, Has God turned away from us?

Wouldn't the words of Paul be the words of Christ in him and how does a "christian" differentiate? More ambiguity... Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 2 Corinthians 7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. Philemon 1:19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. 2 Peter 1:21 (Whole Chapter) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Comment: Reliability?

It says one thing in one place and says the total opposite in another.. Saved by grace, faith without works is dead. The ambiguous God. This is the style of the biblical writers since the very first verse in Genesis where we have not one beginning but two as related to time. (the beginning of time and the beginning of consciousness.) They all became Christians and they all turned away too. This is so Christians never take the doctrine to seriously. We have warnings of dire consequences for adding or deleting a word but "the spirits [words] of the prophets are subject to the prophets". Somewhere betwixt the ambiguity we find a place for reasonable thought and tolerance. The ambiguity is meant to foster tolerance. When we lose tolerance we become totalitarian.
