Film producer Marty Kaplan:

“The God I have found is common to Moses and Muhammad, to Buddha and Jesus. It is known to every mystic tradition. In mine, it is the Tetragrammaton, the Name so holy that those who know it dare not say it. It is what the Cabala calls Ayin, Nothingness, No-Thingness. It is Spirit, Being, the All. I used to think of psychic phenomena as New Age flim-flam. I used to think of reincarnation as a myth. I used to think the soul was a metaphor. Now I know there is a God—my God, in here, demanding not faith but experience, an inexhaustible wonder at the richness of this very moment.”

Blah blah blah — babble.

Me?

I’m going with the apostles creed.

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth

And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary

Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell

The third day he rose again from the dead

He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty

From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead

I believe in the Holy Ghost

I believe a holy catholic church; the communion of saints

The forgiveness of sins

The resurrection of the body

And the life everlasting. Amen.

The first one resonates more

It may resonate more with your heart….but your heart is deceitful! And rebellious.

And broken.

And perverse.

And corrupt

And so is mine

One is based on discovery and one and the other is based in fear

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)

Never said I didn't fear the maker

If your fear doesn’t result in worship of Jesus…then it’s value-less

Is being smug a sin?

John 5:23: Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Who is the judge of that?

Not me

How do you find truth without question?

The truth is a person.

Before Abraham was “I AM”

Now just realize that it's you and you get it

Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him. (John 18:38)

And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” (Revelation 19:9)

that's my hope. one of many. inheritance. everlasting life. see God face to face. be rid of sin. no tears. righteousness forever. but no blind leap into the dark. -- faith based on historical fact of resurrection.

James 4:12: There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy.

Yes

John 5:21–22 (ESV): For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

That is the intro to every great cult

nah, friend. Jesus actually rose from the dead. no cult. just following the evidence.
