I have - this morning - re-read your very interesting 'confession ' of a spiritual journey, the outcome of which is still unclear - or so it appears to me.Outcome -> on what would be deemed on the Christian front, or view from most of them,.....wotsup in that regard would be standing on rather lonely grounds.
However, they appear to ignore or dismiss words/messages in the Bible from Jesus, the likes of -> "Few find it" = Truth.
So,..because of the hours I spent in reading, studying this One Book and the approach or way I went about it, those sort of thoughts don't bother me.
In fact, it does sadden one to a degree.

In short, I was a Trinity God follower for 30 plus years.
I was challenged on that following, to defend and back it up.
The penny finally dropped, that I personally could not do it and all I was parroting, was what was fed to me over the years.
Hence, shame and embarrassment hit me big time.
So, I stopped work and went on the mission to get the Bible proof, with the aid of ours above, of this following I had.

Well,...........................it is simply not there to be found.
The one God referenced in the OT is one as in a singular identity and that being Spirit, the Holy, Word as in The Word and light as in the True light John 1:9.

If one makes another identity out of the Holy Spirit, you have created something that does not exist = Idol and robbed God of his Spirit and as God is Spirit, you would need to replace the one you have stolen lol.
And that's without stealing his Word, which he is (The Aleph Tav) and of which, mainstream Christianity does.

The only pre-existing of Jesus in any way, shape or form was in the mind and plans of God, just as the OT spells out, loud and clear.
Jesus was the 2nd Adam = man and man (1st Adam), does not, did not pre-exist outside the mind and plans of God.

I better stop here as I might upset the troops lol.
I'll just add and I can't emphasize this enough, should any said followers pluck up the courage and strength (You'll need it) to venture down a similar path, then you seriously need to prepare your self, prep for battle, as it will be game on.
And I am not just referring to those around you!

OH,....and yes, the truth can and will disturb one for some time, for many reasons.

Your last thoughts, belief,.......yes,........however or at times, it can be a hard thing to do, due to what someone is directing to you.
Parsifal I notice, has a quality in that regard.
I observed them (in secrete lol) for some time when they were engaging with other posters on another forum and I noticed quite a change in behavior of some of these posters, as the discussions progressed.
----------
do some real work;I have a confession lol.,.............rare indeed (not the confession lol),.....but I pretty much did zero today and still feeling guilty. lol.
And to top it off, but don't tell the others, I got into some Maltese's today that my daughter gave me on fathers day lol.
Generally I am not a choc eater, weight and all,..50kg's and a bit

@wotsup - I remember you now from the religion-philosophy thread! - you are a kind man and i don't remember you posting anything which put other people off, but generally thought that thread similar to a discussion which was fashionable in the Middle Ages, as to how many angels (?) could fit on the top of a needle - or similar -

I do think you should keep your discussions over there, please!

Wishing you all the best
