> > > Why would God even create a Tree of Life and a Tree of Knowledge if He didn't want Adam and Eve eating their fruits? Was He, simply, testing their loyalty? That sounds more like a human impulse than a divine impulse. Because it's vain. Didn't He also tell Abraham to kill his son as a sacrifice to Him? Didn't He also destroy Job's life to prove to Lucifer that Job's devotion to Him was unshakeable? Did He not also send His own son to be tortured and killed because of the actions of others? Does this not sound like utter madness to you? How shaky would your self esteem have to be in order to demand such extreme measures to prove one's loyalty to you? The only other possibility is simple arrogance, which is a more realistic explanation. If I were God I'd probably be arrogant, too. At least as arrogant as the folks who strap bomb belts onto themselves and then detonate at the appointed target because they believe that's what God wants them to do, or the American politicians and businessmen who stole land from the Native Americans because they believed that's what God wanted them to do. It's an arrogance that I also see in you. You repeatedly say you have the ultimate secret to happiness and freedom from illness, but Dr. Hsiung won't allow you to share it. How convenient. This "prohibition" absolves you of the responsibility to provide any proof for your claims. Honestly, if I had information that could bring relief to anyone who read, and heeded, my message, the threat of a week's suspension from the board would not be enough of a threat to keep me from sharing it. Why should anyone take your claims more seriously than they would of a Shiite Muslim who explains why infidels are to be killed? If God is as all-knowing and all-powerful as He is promoted to be, why are we still arguing (and dying) over who He is? We've made a lot of discoveries about life and the universe in the time since those books were written, discoveries that, sometimes, threaten those early beliefs. Religious teachings serve a human purpose. Why else would God embody such human characteristics as vanity, anger and jealousy? The larger problem is that people use God as a justification for their own prejudices. You, yourself, interpret opposition to your ideas as Anti-Semitism because you happen to be Jewish. You hide behind it, the same way you hide behind supposed prohibitions from Dr. Hsiung to your revealing the non-pharmaceutical path out of depression and addiction. My main objection to religion (aside from the abuses committed in its name) is that it desperately seeks to subdue the intellect. But, if we are God's creations (and, indeed, created in His image), is not the intellect also created by God? What's weird is my intellect says there is no God, so why would God give us something that made it less likely that we would believe in Him? Or is He just screwing with us, the way He screwed with Abraham, Job and Jesus? Speaking of being all-powerful, it could be argued that God at least allows mental illness to exist. And murder to exist. And cancer to exist. And every other source of pain or sorrow to exist. Why? I was taught that God loves us, so what's up with all the suffering? To be fair, suffering can actually enrich one's life, provided that the suffering ends at some point. But what of suffering that continues, unchecked? Where's the lesson? What possible purpose could there be for such suffering? Is God trying to trick us into to thinking He's a jerk as a test to see how many of us remain faithful to Him?

> Now my friends, this light has nothing to do with the sun or the moon or the stars, for those were not yet created. It is this light that has been revealed to me a way for those that want a way out of addiction and depresssion can have to enable them to overcome and have a whole new life, free at last.
> I am prohibited to post here about this light. It would come from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me, which is prohibited by Mr Hsiung as posted to me here.
> But I say to you, that the light that has been revealed to me will never be put out. All of the antisemitic statements here that are allowed to stand will never stop the light. All the members here that post defamation and hate toward me that is allowed to stand will not stop the light. And all the people that do not want the light to shine here can not stand in the way of its healing rays. And all those that want me to have my speech repressed here will in no wise stop the light from penetrating the darkness. And those that want to curse the light so that darkness could prevail, will fail, for how could you stop the Sun from shining, what makes the world go 'round.

Friends,
Many of you already know of the hostility directed at me here as one can see that is plainly visible here and on the admin board the outstanding requests/notifications that I think if were responded to according to the TOS here, could have he potential to save lives and prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions. This is all because that it has been revealed to me the mysteries of light and darkness that I am prevented from posting here due to the prohibitions ot me here by Mr Hsiung.
This revealing comes from a Jewish perspective and the scriptures that the Jews use unveil the mysteries also. But he scriptures have spiritual meanings that are not visible in the written word, for they are spiritually decerned.
In these scriptures, light and darkness, life and dearth, are revealed. An when you know of these mysteries, you can be freed from the bondage of depression and addiction.
Now this light came forth by The Word of God as He spoke it into existance by saying, "Let there be light" , and there was. This speaking is The Word of God, the intellegence of God as the Jews give service and worship to.
Now this light can be known as to what it is. For in a Psalm it is written:
For God is a Sun and a shield. Here we have a definition of light as to relation to God himself. And in another Psalm, it is written, For God has delivered my soul from death; will not he deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
You see, I have been writing about that light is life, and that darkness is death. And when I had an ecounter with a Rider on a white horse, He said to me, " I am the light of the world, he that follows me shall not walk in darkness ,but shall have the light of life. And if you keep my saying, you shall never see death, for before Abraham was, I am."
Lou
