Wut? I clearly remember "go and be a fisher of men" being one of his polite requests to his followers. Hence the little fish symbol?

Jesus Christ is right. I was told this in a dream to repeat; I suppose it was told to me by an angel. The link below is a blog of mine that is a psycho-spiritual approach to today's fundamental challenges, such as understanding God and faith, and self and other things that are relative.

I am a responsible advocate of marijuana use. Obviously, I think that the smoking of it has the worse long term effects; but I think a balance and nutritious pH balance of the physiological system is a healthy prevention and intervention thereof any smoking side effects if done at its best.

I think that mind maturity is also important. I know that many new users are relatively young and likely naive to the mental effects of it and how it can affect our daily lives; this to me is why being realistic and seeking greater Truths are important. I believe that sobriety is living in the Truth, because the Truth will eventually tell your heart and conscience when its too much, time to stop or not to do so. Maturity is established when a person stand in what they believe in even when its not popular. “The Truth shall set you free”

Priorities are still important in everything you do. We must continue to serve the Lord God Most High if no one else. All good Truth leads through Jesus Christ.

I apologize to those of you who have been traumatize by some person using the word of God to their personal gains, this is called debauchery and God ultimately will penalize those who do it.

In all your getting get understanding; never let a person come between you and your personal relationship/courting of God and your true destiny.

The Virtuous Intelligence Theory

awesome post man. i totally agree with this.

most importantly, it's not about religions. people should have a personal relationship with God. they don't need to announce their beliefs to anybody or join groups of other believers if they don't want to. Jesus did say to tell people about God and spread the word, but i think it's too late now. the world already knows about God, it's up to the individual person to make a decision before the Return of Christ.

if you aren't prepared to see it, you will not be able to comprehend it. thus you will be left behind.

sad thing is, people are way too overwhelmed in their pitiful lives. and so dumbed down that they can't accept something that they can't see. most people will not understand or care about this because money/sex/drugs/fame/material possessions are more important.

Wow. You equate that with specifically telling his followers to reach the thosands of people living on the other side of the planet?

Word travels. No one can argue that Christianity is pretty pervasive today, right?

But there was no" otherside" of the planet then? The earth was flat remember. I guess the fishermen thought they would fall of the earth before they could reach the aztecs,north american natives etc.

If anyone wants to look up these verses, they're in the Book of Mark, Chapter 16: KJV

M'r:16:1: And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
M'r:16:2: And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
M'r:16:3: And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
M'r:16:4: And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
M'r:16:5: And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
M'r:16:6: And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
M'r:16:7: But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
M'r:16:8: And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
M'r:16:9: Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
M'r:16:10: And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
M'r:16:11: And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
M'r:16:12: After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
M'r:16:13: And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
M'r:16:14: Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
M'r:16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
M'r:16:16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Another interesting point that's been raised is that in the time of Jesus, everyone still believed the world was flat; however you will never find a single verse in the Bible that says the world is flat. An abundance of information is in the Bible that's contrary to popular belief, even popular beliefs held today but if you're going to be able to understand and even see those facts, you have to open your heart. The Bible tells us that too. Faith is one of the primary principals of the Bible and Christianity.

Just to clear up another comment I read by someone that said the Bible was written by a man. The Bible was written by several different men and over a time period of about 2-7 thousand years, which makes it even more remarkable that there has never been a single fact contained in the Bible debunked.

This proves that Jesus wasn't who the Christians say he was. "Go ye into all the world" just pertains to what people knew about the world at the time. It indicates a knowledge that didn't transcend that of the ordinary person.

And secondly, the bible has no credibility whatsoever!

That's an excellent point. It WAS written by a lot of people over a long period of time. And I think that excuses any fallibilities that could be found. We are only human after all.
