oops. not Meg but Mag...I got so excited I forgot to spell check... also. the reference to "pigs can fly" is from the Herald's "2nd coming" banner headline when the Red Sox won the world series in 2004. I'm told the use of "2nd coming" type set was a first for the Herald who didn't use it even...

At last pigs can fly. I wonder if anyone will realize the warm breeze that just blew through their hair at the frog pond was Meg and LB's spirits as close as the right coast and wrong coast could possibly be.

Mag, I would be thrilled to sit at the feet of Mary M. with you. I have read that John may have been the only disciple to care for her or Christ's mother when He died. I really like the thought that John's loyalty to his friend extended to the women He loved. If you have a source of information...

It certainly doesn't make the thought of visiting the local pagan assemblies any more inviting than the other neo-religious political assemblies. I've come to realize that Christ's repudiation of the teacher's of the law is not a condemnation and revelation of their eternal destiny but wise...

"You go to church once a month to please your wife?" Yes. I'm an introvert and I don't like group meetings of any sort. Must have something to do with my naïve and fuzzy cherry picking way of going about things. :)

As a practical matter I rely on the NIV's account of the gospel of John. I met and interviewed one of the men who worked on the research of the manuscripts used to authenticate John's account. I'm told these manuscripts are some of the most scrutinized. What comes out of John's account is more...

why all the confusion and mess? I'm married to a Christian, my friend woman lover is a Christian and my friend women who tolerate and encourage me are Christians. My son is a Christian missionary, thankfully my daughter keeps her beliefs about deity to herself, but she's the exception. You...

The baby isn't Jesus, the baby is love. And I've known you for too long to know that you love deeply with tremendous sincerity. I also read on another thread that you have an attractive nose. That along with your big brain adds up to a happy pagan in my book. I'll continue to use the forum...

Do you know of any "happy" pagans who would tolerate, adore and open the eyes of someone who loves Jesus? I know of a few crab apples but I'm keeping my eyes out for a sweetheart.

I reconcile the way the old testament treated money the same way I reconcile the way teachers of the law treated love both then and now. I ignore them. Disappear into the crowd, look for the nearest state trooper to hide behind, walk around JP pond, look at ducks, let go of my spirit in the...

quote from Terry Pratchett’s Granny Weatherwax "Sin … is when you treat people as things, including yourself, that’s what sin is." As the Christian movement continues to look for ways to change Christ's command about loving everyone, especially when it comes to men loving men or women loving...

Thanks Kevin I'm glad we have several threads that are almost like several classes, here at Love University. :) I don't particularly like Bible classes, but I do like learning how the Bible has impacted a lot of us negatively, so I can continue to learn how to love appropriately. The Bible...

Wow, Kevin. I knew you've had painful experiences but I didn't realize how significant they were. The story that comes to mind is Jesus telling about a man who was forgiven a million dollar debt and then turned around and beat a man to recover a 1 dollar debt he was owed. The end of the...

Are we allowed some "Saint" Paul bashing here? I think this thread is hoped to be a place for people who have moved beyond or are attempting to move beyond any belief system that has inhibited individual growth and understanding of Christ's command that we be-friend and love each other. This...

Beliefs I've decided my belief in Jesus is analogous to my belief in love. He exemplified a type of love that I aspire to replicate. My first introduction that love is a belief came from the Baptist church. Their version didn't turn out all that well for me. I've read some real cool...

Fear of Coming Out The recent incident with Ashley Madison is a reminder that there are no such things as secrets on the internet. The LGBT movement has become a bold pioneer to remove the unnecessary hiding of our lifestyles that are different and unique to each of us as individuals. The...

Beyond Doubt and Fear Is there a chance we could put the issue of belief in the existence or nature of Christ in another thread? It would be nice if there could be a thread useful to those of us who love Jesus more than life itself. There are many issues that could be discussed that would be...

Dialogue This is a great dialogue and to me shows great progress with the forum. First Mag started this thread being perfectly plain of her intentions. I applaud and encourage her open defiance and displeasure. Second the issue of religious bashing is a real one for all of us to have to...

Fear I have lost more than a few marbles, but the good news is I'm still able to pick up some new ones. I'm getting ready to retire, and my new project is to get over my fear of women enough to tell them when I've been hurt or wounded, when in my own inept, often feeble way, I tell them I have...

Persecution Complex Being boiled in a vat of oil by Pagan women, while the onlookers search the Bible perplexed by what they're witnessing. Who is this man who dreams about his love of Boston and wishes everyone could experience love in the Hub of the Universe? Where many moons ago, blankets...
