Ann? do you actually understand what I have written? or are you
assuming? Salvation is to be saved from something that is going after
you....nothing is going after me. The best way to express it is that
Christ leads me to enlightenment and the truth of my particular
version of God....saving time? yes...but there is nothing after me. I
don't believe in a being known as Satan...although I believe that many
have fears that are founded on the lie of separation....and these
fears manifest into the "what if?" the adversary...the
questioner...the concept of a lack of faith in God.Jesus was the son
of God (as we all are sons and daughters of God) but perhaps a more
giving spirit..a more special one with a bigger job to do. Jesus is a
teacher/rabbi and a perfect example of enlightenment...he is the I AM
and we will all have to work at getting there or realizing that.
Salvation and enlightenment are ONE if one has to use the term
"salvation". I notice that you respond quickly to my posts without
much understanding of it...and for that ....it is a sad thing but I
wish you well and for us to have a better understanding of each other
in the future.
Blessings
