From your posts it appears you have not been reconciled to God (2 Cor. 5:14-21). Which is what the gospel of the grace of God is all about. Which is the gospel that saves. Which is the whole point of the Cross. Which is the doctrine we are to proclaim, in season, out of season, being ready to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all longsuffering (2 Tim. 4:2). And where do we get this doctrine we are to preach? 2 Tim. 3:15-17. And if we do not adhere to this doctrine, 2 Tim. 2:15, what is our fate? 2 Tim. 4:3,4.
So what, exactly, is the gospel you follow, you believe? Where might I find it?

You guys are like the Jews needing a doctrine to follow. Jesus said my burden is light, and that is all about forgiveness...of our sins as we forgive others. I posted this thread so people who are missing it have a simple silent Be Still exercise that will greatly bless them. Very very effective for many people and something the church establishment has missed altogether.

Where do you find it? Well, not on the basis by conflating textual evidence thru studying the Scriptures as evidenced therein, (Lk. 24:27; Acts 17:11; 28:23), but by first entering into Masters mind-numbing occultist meditation: ►The evidence of a Higher Presence in meditation is [manifested by] a change in breathing.233 ►Cold shivers, occasional perspiration, and labored or heavy breathing reveal contact-response to a higher consciousness. It means something has been added that is causing changes to occur.234 ► Occasionally you will feel suspended in space, as if your body had melted into the universe and become "one" with all nature. . . . You will find yourself expressing wisdom and knowledge that you never outwardly learned or heard before.235 ►Sometimes you will hear, quite distinctly, words "spoken" to you in short phrases. Do not be alarmed.236 Under which you realize esoteric understanding independent of the Scripture, and then the Bible can mean whatever you think it means in confirming what you already concluded. ►One day, after discovering many things, the Spirit will lead you to read Scripture. At that time you will find joy on accepting the Witness to the Scriptures, rather than verses and chapters. What a contrast this is to accepting the Bible as the word of God: " And afterward, having begun without the Scriptures, and with your own spirit being supreme - judging Scripture rather than Scripture judging them - then you can discard it later. ►The whole process of growing is not from words but from realizing and then you can throw your Bible in the garbage can and there's no sin in that.137 ►The Scriptures can poison you, and destroy you. They are lethal, they are deadly. They are more deadly than any drug.138 And it is not the Bible that is holy, but the revelation gained under Masters meditation is what he considers holy, while the Bible can be used as toilet paper. (Walter Martin Takes on Roy Masters], audio debate) [So] I threw a Bible in the garbage can. That Bible can go in the garbage can just as soon as anything can go in the garbage can. Slop can go in the garbage can, because the Bible isn't God.136 - http://www.theworldviewcenter.org/encyclopedia_foundationforhumanunderstanding.html
