    I've heard stuff about being filled with it, i think it has happened to me. I just feel so happy and tears come to my eye, i feel like gold shimmiering(sp?) light is in me. ive had it happen about 3 times in my life. is that it? ive felt it at a church before to. and at this little jam thing that was going on one night where everyone was happy and having fun. and after prayer.

    oh yes....iv felt it, walked with it in my prime, and continuously chase it. the beautiful thing about that sacred spirit though that most christians struggle to understand is...it is unconditional concerning ones belief patters. be you christian or muslim or pagan or jew :) ...spirit flows through me and it flows through you....its the same spirit our ancesters knew....

    iv felt it when i believed in jesus, and after iv forsaken him. (or rather the bible...im still cool with the jesus symbol, were he a real story or not)

    yeah dude, im not a christian either but ive heard of it and i was wondering if that was what they were speaking of. i think there might be a god that is just like a force, not some sky daddy or whatever. but one night me and my friend were debating(hes christian) i was like talkng how i disagree and shit about his beliefs on god. and he just keeps saying that i need to get saved, i was like i think if there is a god it wouldnt matter what religion you are, and i felt a touch on my shoulder and those feelings just shot through my body. it was weird.

    Yeah, it's just tuning into the Godhead, he isn't the grumpy old man in the OT lol
    u can do this with chants, singing, meditation
    tuning into God, it's cool and trippy
    peace

    thats what turns me off...

    but what jesus talked about was so great, the old testemant version seems to over the top, jealous of everything, demanding sacrifice, just like some of the pagan gods.

    But Jesus had to put it in terms of a God the Jews of the time understood so it was impossible for Him.
    God wouldn't be any human conception anyways and I would say on paper Krsna is closest but not it
    Try Jesus outside churches and Bibles, Luthers and Constantines :)

    it really matters not, you can't escape God and He will rip up every mountain or cave you hide in but only to show you the greatest love and make you dance :)

    peace, God bless

    You aren't alone and even as the Bible was first being put together long before Nicene the majority thought it better to throw away the OT Tanahk (SP?) if they could
    I don't follow any such God myself

    peace, God....ummmm Jesus Bless! :)

    This is the first I have heard of anyone wanting to ditch the OT. Could you please provide some source materials so that I might research it myself? Thank you.
