Re: Did god really condemn mankind? Is god a just god?

Interesting. I'd figure it's not a case of "bad translation" - the NHL Gospel of Thomas is somewhat edited to support a certain ideological position. Like every scripture ever written. Regards DL hmm, i cant think of a single ideological pos that could be maintained in a holistic view of ...

Re: Who has more control of our thinking; God or Satan?

We are indeed selfish, a good trait, right? That does not mean we follow Satan. Regards DL well, i guess we all define terms a bit differently ( the real "speaking in tongues," prolly); i would say love of self is essential and often sorely lacking, which maybe leads to selfishness as in ...
