I'm not trying to give a "christian" explaination, but I mean, isn't that all we got? lol

what do you mean defied? I thought that his goal was to be in the Kingdom of God with his Father? Wasn't His mission was to come to earth to raise the souls into heaven, and He Himself had to die to do it? So, yes He knowingly did attract a death?

Jesus Christ was not the originator of Christianity. He was born, lived and died a Jew. His disciples and followers created Christianity.

There is no way of explaining Jesus' actions without involving Christianity - they are intertwined. There is no Christianity without Jesus - he is the Head. He was God incarnate. He can choose to defy the laws of the universe anytime he so chooses.

He had to do it. He came here for a purpose, knowing he had to do it. The Jesus said, "no man takes my life from me. I lay it down". So he offered himself a living sacrafice so we may be saved. Why do we need to be saved? Because we were born with sin nature. If you don't think this is true look at children. Some children can be very mean and have to be taught to be nice. We are born with a nature that we are self centered and want for ourselfs.

So when Adam and Eve had the costly lunch, they see that they are no longer innocent and become jaded. Then they got chased from the garden. After that the first murder on Earth. Now the bible says we all stand before God and no one is righteous no, not one. And without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Everything in italac is from bible. I'm sorry, I do not know these off hand, but I can find them if you want to know.

Peace!

Hee hee. I wasn't mean it to be funny, but after I posted, I said, "this came out funny". I am so glad to find many believers on this board.

"without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin". If that is from the Bible how does that reconcile with your final statement of "Peace!".

We don't attract EVERYthing. Not everything is intended, but comes about as a result of the circumstances we live in. For example, let's say you got sick of applying lotion to your face because you got sick of how it felt on your skin. So you stop using lotions. As time goes by, your skin wrinkles due to dryness and you get wrinkles. Did you attract wrinkles? No. You got wrinkles because you didn't take care of your skin.

There are other laws in the universe. What we intend, we draw more of into our experience, but we are not God. We don't control everything. I wouldn't worry about how much we control. And I certainly wouldn't worry about whether I attracted every detail in my life. Certainly, you should question whether you attracted something into your experience so that you can take full responsibility for your life. But saying that you create everything is too much. There are kids that could care less about studying, but they have parents that constantly push them to study. I don't think you can say that they attracted parents who cared about their studies.

Well, it states in the secret that we do in fact attract everything to us.

Well, yes. But I disagree with it based on my experience as well as other sources.
