Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I don’t know if you have come across a book called the great controversy where they explain how since Constantine they have completely changed the spirit, doctrine and key tenants that Jesus thought and converted that into “Christianity”. We do use the mantras as a way to invoke the correspondent archetypical energy, so it could be wise if use Saraswati, or courage when using Arjuna or Hanuman. Mantra as sacred sounds are mostly Meditative and a way to focus and is not like voodoo or santeria where they are honoring a demon to come and help them thanks to sacrifice. It is also very possible that the lost years of Jesus are a veil reference to his studies in India and Egypt. But yeah Christians are forbidden from recognizing another divine being like the dozens of ascended masters, reincarnation and many other topics. And that is by design something the Levitas brothers and the Romans decides for you. Hope you can decide if Reincarnation for instance was something theY took out of the teachings of Jesus or not. Thanks for a friendly dialogue.
You believe in reincarnation. I believe in one soul with one life on earth followed by the soul continuing either in heaven or hell. Each soul is unique in Christianity.
