Im new here but i have been reading everyones posts for almost a year now i just never got around to actually joining. I am only 18 years old and I have already read Gooberz and i own a copy of Love signs which i love very much. I am a religious person and before reading Gooberz i would pray faithfully every night and i trusted god in my heart but lately i am having trouble trying to tie my religious beliefs in with the things i believe about astrology and reincarnation etc. they seem to contradict eachother and i am just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this... sorry if this is confusing i tried to explain as best i could. Thanks IP: Logged |

 You might want to consider introducing yourself at Know Two Are Alike!
It might make it easier to answer your questions if we know more about you!
There is a wide diversity of religious and philosophical beliefs being expressed here.
I hope you find the answers you are seeking.
BTW...nothing wrong with being 18. 
I am nigh onto 3 times your age, but most here seem to average about 27 or thereabouts.
You are not the only teen or young adult here.
Enjoy!

chel.....
Eternia's views/beliefs, are prime examples of my point exactly, when referring to the many diverse views here at LL.
Not all views will fit each other, and many will seriously clash.
You must explore and find what resonates for you.

In my view, religion often does support both reincarnation and astrology.
What religion are you?
Knowing that would help us to better answer your queries.

For 553 years after the death of Jesus (or at least the time we suppose Jesus lived and died), early Christians believed in reincarnation. ------------------

When the one some call Jesus (not his real name) said one must be born of the living water
to live...it meant in my opinion reincarnation by being born from the living water,
the amnionic fluid of physical birth/rebirth. Also becoming as a child.
He also spoke of casting off one's old cloak and putting on a new one,
giving up one body for a new one. Once we can remember our past self identities,
THAT IS IMMORTALITY!
It is the forgetting which causes humans to think they are not immortals. quote:
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
I feel this means to be reincarnated and to come into a foetus living in
and born from the amniotic fluid of the womb, the living water,
the water of life and to begin anew after a communion with God
while in spirit and returning as a child to try again. What possible learning can come from only one run at living?
Sure you can ask for forgiveness and forgive but unless you return,
there is no more to experience and learn.
One life time run just makes no logical sense to me. The priests indicated a belief in reincarnation by virtue of this they asked John:
quote:
John 1:21
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
Here Jesus/Yeshia said of John: quote:
Matthew 11:14
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
quote:
Matthew 17:12
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not,
but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.
Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
quote:
Matthew 17:13Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

I have never been to a catholic church and never had a first communion or anything like that. I just call myself a christian because i believe in God and Jesus and i read the bible. What you said about Jesus being born of the living water made sense to me. Maybe i need to open up more and try to look at the big picture when i read the bible?ETERNIA,
I didnt really understand what you meant when you mentioned opening the door to lucifer.... It kind of scared me.. does that mean im not ready to learn about these things or something?  IP: Logged |

Thank you chel! quote:
You asked what religion i am... well i was baptized catholic
Then I assume it was when you were a baby. quote:
but the different branches of christianity confuse me.
I was raised Southern Baptist, which I detested with a passion.
Later I was forced by my stepmother, to go to Catholic Mass and attend catechism, which I also detested.
I studied Christian/Biblical writings when I was quite young, and soon sensed that there was something seriously wrong with all of the Christian sects, and the so called holy book.
With my innocent child mind, unlike most adults,
I did read the various Bibles,
(and none are the same, there is no "one" nor an original so called "Bible")
and was horrified by what I read.
However the adults refused to admit the awful things were actually written there, let alone discuss it all with me.
And the hatred shown by each sect towards the sects other than theirs, disgusted me.
I began to study history also, at a very young age, and was horrified at the atrocities and wars related to Christian doctrine and forced conversions.
The Inquisition, the many Crusades, which were far from anything holy, and so forth. If you read my threads here,
you may be offended by my views,
or you may understand the facts I present, and ponder over the theories I also present.
quote:
I have never been to a catholic church and never had a first communion or anything like that. I just call myself a christian because i believe in God and Jesus and i read the bible.
Many are more like that rather than strict,
or as my mother is, a rabid fanatical Christian who has done terrible nightmarish things to me in the name of Jesus,
and her bigoted, biased and intolerant religious beliefs. quote:
What you said about Jesus being born of the living water made sense to me.
Not just him, but all of us.
My take on Jesus, (not his real name) are freely posted here at Divine Diversities,
so I shall refrain from going into that in this reply. quote:
Maybe i need to open up more and try to look at the big picture when i read the bible?
Indeed!
Most folks never really study and read it, nor compare the many different versions. Most ignore, or attempt to justify, the atrocities therein also,
reading only the pretty bits.
Most are not aware of the contradictions and repeated stories that do not match.
Most are not aware of the incest condoned, or rape, pillage, slavery, murder, mass murder, adultery, and more rather unholy actions which are condoned and even ordered by the "god" in those writings, and committed by the supposedly chosen and good ones in the stories. I read how Moses committed murders, and ordered mass murders, by his god's orders,
AFTER the commandment of "thou shalt not kill".
That just seemed so contradictory and terribly wrong to me.
As a child, I grew quite angry when I was told not to question such things I read in the Bible.
I was beaten bloody because of my inquiring doubting mind concerning it all.
It was quite obvious that very little, of it all, was holy, and good,
by any stretch of the imagination.
OK.....rant over.
Suffice it to say, if you are truly interested in actually understanding it all, and discussing it....
with an open mind, I would be willing to discuss it all with you.'
My take on it all and theories are clearly posted here as I said.
So please feel free to read them if you desire to discuss it all further.
That way you will have a better understanding of my views/theories,
and I will not have to constantly repeat myself.
Blessings to you seeker Chel! PS.I also posted under my previous user name fayte.m

LEXX,
I am sorry to hear about your past troubles with religion. I do not think it is right for a parent to push any kind of religious belief on their child. I do not push my beliefs on other people and I am open to learn other peoples opinions on the subject.

I am very aware of the contradictions in the bible. I too think it is all wrong or that there is something else to be taken from it. I read somewhere that the stories written in the bible never actually happened in reality and they are not to be taken literally. That made sense to me but when i mentioned it to my mom she said it was wrong and told me it just wasnt what she was used to. I think people have formed this concrete idea of what religion should be and they are too focused on the laws and commandments of the bible that they are not learning what was meant to be learnt from it. I do find it terribly frightening to question the bible and my faith in god because i have grew up around people who are religious and I have always been told not to question God.
I would really appreciate it if you did discuss this with me and help me to understand. I dont really have anyone to talk to about this because most people my age are not interested or think im weird when i bring it up and my mom has a fixed opinion on her beliefs and doesnt understand why i am questioning all of it.
I will look around and try to get an understanding of your views. Sorry if i sound confusing I just have a lot of questions built up inside of me because i never get to talk about this. thanks a lot IP: Logged |

I am truly honoured that you want me to help you in what you seek to understand.
It is very refreshing to meet one who honestly wants to discuss all of this with an open and truly inquiring mindset!
I am busy at the moment but will get back to replying to you!
You can also e-mail me at my link at Labors Of Love where I am moderator, if there are things you rather discuss in private.
Just click on LEXX at the top left of page.OK...as to Jesus being the name of one commonly referred to as Jesus.
You asked me: quote:
but why do you say jesus real name is not jesus?
OK...first off, Hebrew had no vowels and no letter "J".
quote:
The name Jesus is an anglicized form of the Latin Iesus, which itself is derived from
the Greek name Iesous. Iesous was the Greek transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua,
which itself was the later Aramaic form of the Hebrew name YehoshuaBIBLICAL USAGE We can follow the development of this name by looking at references to Joshua the son of Nun,
the successor to Moses. Joshua was originally named Hoshea (Num. 13:16),
but Moses changed it to Yehoshua (YHWH is salvation which has the Divine Name attached as a prefix.
Yehoshua was the common name for Joshua, but in later Biblical times the name was shortened to the form Yeshua.
This is evidenced in Nehemiah 8:17 where, in reference to Joshua,
the Hebrew text reads Yeshua in place of Yehoshua. The Septuagint,
an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, renders Joshua’s name as Iesous,
in the Nehemiah passage as well as throughout the book of Joshua.
In transliterating to Greek, there is no “sh” sound, and this kind of noun requires an “–s” ending.
Iesous was the result. In the New Testament there are two references to Joshua, Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8.
In both of these places the Greek uses the form Iesous, which most translations render as Joshua.
The King James Version, however, mistakenly translates it as Jesus in both cases.
But in all other cases it does refer to Jesus POST-BIBLICAL USAGE As Christianity spread from the Middle East into Europe,
Latin became the dominant language.
Messiah’s Greek name was transliterated as Iesu, Ihesu or Iesus
but pronounced the same as the Greek form. The letter “j” was a later development in the English language,
not appearing in use until the Middle Ages.
Eventually his name was written in this manner, first as Jesu, then later as Jesus. SUMMARY Jesus grew up and lived in a cultural crossroad and multilingual society.
He most certainly knew Hebrew, since it was the written language
of Scripture and was used in synagogue and temple services.
He also spoke Aramaic, since the New Testament gives examples of its use.
He probably spoke Greek as well, though we don’t know to what extent. Among Hebrew and Aramaic-speaking people, including his mother and those at home,
he was called Yeshua. Among Greek-speaking people he was called Iesous. In today’s Messianic and Hebrew roots movements there is a call to return to the original name that Jesus grew up with (Yeshua),
while some Sacred Name groups argue that His name was really Yahshua.
But neither the Jewish translators of the Septuagint nor the writers of the New Testament
saw fit to record Joshua’s name any other way but Iesous.
If they wanted to show the Divine Name (Yah) they could have written Iasous (IasouV).
But they did this for neither Joshua nor Jesus. Referring to Jesus today as Yeshua is perfectly acceptable,
especially in Jewish culture, but it is not mandated. On the contrary, the Scriptures are full of examples
of people who went by more than one name or had both Hebrew and foreign names.
Today we shorten names, accept nicknames, and use aliases.
The Biblical pattern seems to be acceptance of name changes and variations.
In other words, they were just like us. A fitting name,
Yeshua means “salvation” for “he will save his people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21)
and is referred to in the New Testament as “the name that is above every name” (Philippians 4:3).
http://www.hadavar.net/nameofjesus.html
More links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshua_(name) http://yahushua.net/pagan_name.htm Here is something you may not have known.
Yeshua did NOT live in a backwards area as most folks believe. He grew up very near major trade routes and caravan routes that went from as far West as Spain, as far North as ancient Brittany, as far South as Egypt, and Africa, as far East as Asia, India, and so forth. He lived only 4 miles from Sepphoris, a bustling Helenized Metropolis.
A simple few hours walking distance for a boy to walk, as 4 miles at a slow pace of for example, 2 miles an hour, would only take him 2 hours. And if he rode a horse or camel, he could have gotten there in a half hour or so.

I know you directed this to ETERNIA.....
quote:
ETERNIA,
I didnt really understand what you meant when you mentioned opening the door to lucifer.... It kind of scared me.. does that mean im not ready to learn about these things or something?
However permit my intrusion here.
First off in my opinion/theories, and the theories/studies of serious scholars of the mythos of Lucifer, and the actual historical references.....
Lucifer was NOT evil. That is a Christianized mythos derived from MUCH earlier stories which were absorbed and altered to fit Judeo/Christian views.
This subject is being aired here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum21/HTML/000214.html
You ARE READY!
The mere fact that YOU ARE ASKING QUESTIONS and have wanted to for a very long time...
tells me that you are ready to explore all of this.
No demonic forces will come to you as you explore and find the meaning of reincarnation, astrology, and what is true and not true in religion(s).
Do not fear in your quest for the gnosis of things.
The only demons you may encounter would arise from your own inner fears and preconceptions which you were taught/learned.
As it has been said..."when one is ready to learn the teacher(s) will appear".
However discernment is still needed. Do not blindly follow a teaching new to your mind blindly, or you will end up in the same quandary you are/have been in and are seeking release from.
Do not fear the unfettering of your mind, heart, and soul my young friend.
Blessings and Love to You chel!
Sincerely

It can be and that is only a wee tiny tip of the iceberg so to speak. The "rabbit hole" goes much much much deeper. quote:

To maintain control over the gullible and usually illiterate and ignorant, often scared populations. The First Council of Nicaea is an example of manipulating the bibles for political gain and religious rule and to rewrite the bible the way they desired, not to reveal truth, but to keep control.
FIRST COUNCIL OF NICAEAI shall return with more on that in awhile.
There are many reliable books which deal with writings eliminated from the bibles, and writings badly translated, both scribal errors and intentional changes to alter the texts.
I shall give you a list of reliable book titles.
A few are:
Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (Plus) by Bart D. Ehrman The Jesus Papers: Exposing the Greatest Cover-Up in History by Michael Baigent Whose Bible Is It?: A Short History of the Scriptures (Paperback)
by Jaroslav Pelikan The Lost Books of the Bible [ILLUSTRATED] (Hardcover)
by Solomon J. Schepps (Foreword), William Hone (Compiler) You may be able to acquire them from a library. IP: Logged |

Hi Chel This is ETERNIA Im not trying to scare you. What i mean by opening yourself up to demons is if you mess with witchraft,astrology,Tarot Cards, Ouija board,or anything that leads to the Occult
Simply talking about it is okay. You have every right to question everything. I use to question the bible and god for a time i went through that walk. Yes Lex there are demons I've seen a percentage of them for myself they appeared to me cause they wanted me to know they are there I have the experience of knowing the truth of their existence it is an honor to have seen them unlike some people are never going to get a chance to see them and some will get a chance to see them. And yes they are inner demons of the mind which are the fake ones you invent. Then there are the real demons the ones that you rarely seen they are there Chel and Lexx they fun of us and they put us down. IP: Logged |

People say as you get older you will find out who you are but i feel like i knew myself better when i was younger. Maybe its because i'm scared and uncomfortable with the things im finding out? I want to know the truth and learn things that have been "hidden" from us but at the same time it scares me. I may be over reacting.. idk.

Children often are. Very trusting in what we were told/taught by adults. I was not a typical child however. quote:
People say as you get older you will find out who you are
Some do, but only if they can let go of things which do not resonate true to them, and are willing to know themselves, and be true to themselves. Alot of adults are still hiding behind what they were taught and never going outside those restrictive boxes, and narrow paths. quote:
but i feel like i knew myself better when i was younger.
Again, did you really? Or were you simply going with the flow, trusting the adults were not lying to you, either intentionally, or out of their own ignorance of the bigger picture? quote:
Maybe its because i'm scared and uncomfortable with the things im finding out?
Like what for example? quote:
I want to know the truth and learn things that have been "hidden" from us but at the same time it scares me. I may be over reacting.. idk.
It scares you I suspect, because it clashes with your former beliefs, the things you were taught. Also maybe you feel due to your upbringing, that it is wrong/a sin, to ask questions, and that you would be punished by someone, God even. quote:
You seem to have gotten very comfortable with this... were you the same way when you were younger?
Yes! Definitely!
I was always different. I saw auras, ghosts, and so forth as long as I can remember. I experienced and still do, precognition. I terrified my fundamentalist mother. As I told you previously, I argued with ministers as a child. People who knew me as a child, have told me that I was like the kid in the movie "The Sixth Sense", or the precog girl in "The Minority Report".
I posted several of my experiences here at LL.
I will try to find the links for you.
May I ask, why does it all scare you?
You said IDK/I don't know, but I think you may well have some inkling as to the base of your fears.
Identify those fears, and then it will be easier to get past the confusion and trepidations you are facing in your quest for understanding and truth.
Often totally throwing out, or at the very least, setting aside all your preconceived ideas about it all, starting from scratch so to speak, can also help.IP: Logged | |
