Hi! Just a quick question, have you read some of the Non-Cannonical books? The Gospels of Judas and Thomas are my favorites, but shit can get real wacky real fast

Yeah! I've read the Gospel of Judas and Susanna (book of Daniel) (very fun read)

I'm gonna ready the infancy gospel of Thomas soon

Our.brains know that we are not made of the Soul-Space-Consciousness that IS The GOD. Our brains also know that we, none of us, have a seperate soul-consciousness from the God. We have an individual, seperate physical brain, each one of us on each of our own, in our each one of us' seperate bodies. God does not have a body, we do, each one of us seperately. There is no soul in our brains; we just swim & live in the Space-Conscious-Animating Air that is the "realm" of God's BEING. No matter not air nor water nor our bodies functions as what it is without the Space-Beingness that is The God Yahweh being Here. We are just physical bodies that touch the Space of God everywhere He Is, and God is everywhere and we are not. So remember to value, acknowledge, and love your body, for our individual bodies each of us, each of you, each & every human on the planet, has only one body, and this body is our home. (we, the person, are actually the brain.

I've had opportunities where I've led hundreds, if not thousands of people to sing to the Lord. But there is something so special about having a stripped down, acoustic sound. Sorrounded by these fellow servants, hearing them sing is breathtaking, it's too real, and too raw. It felt that they were praying more than singing, I love these kinds of settings. Day 3 done. #Theology101

FAITH + WORK = SALVATION?

 Ephesians 2:8-9

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” When the bible says “we are saved by grace through faith and not by works” it means that way and not the other way around. Grace means unmerited favor, it is a gift. You can not do anything to earn God’s grace. When someone gives you a gift, do you ask how much i must give so that i can have this? What will i do to have this gift? That would not make sense, would it? Notwithstanding, some unwittingly teach that salvation is grace plus works. James 2:17 is often quoted “ Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone”. Does James contradict the teaching of Paul? Surely not. James only argues that an authentic faith bears good works and obedience, thus he says in the following verse “ and I will shew thee my faith by my works (James 2:18)”. Obedience is not an option, we must, by all means obey. Obedience though is not a work (as to the concept of work in the epistle of Paul). The essence of work is not anything that we do, it’s anything that we do to earn salvation. When I get baptized and follow the teachings of Christ as an act of faith, then it’s not a work. If i do this or that, avoid doing this or that to earn God’s grace or salvation then i become legalistic. I am now frustrating the grace of God! I am now trying to work for the grace of God! So be sure that your obedience is an act of faith.
