With all due respect, you have your interpretation of the word, as we're more than familiar with, having come out of TF. Please stop waving your bible around. Your entitled top your beliefs, as Eva is entitled to hers. So what if your bible says God is not the author of confusion? You may find what Eva wrote confusing, but I found it enlightening, completely understandable and a big relief someone is saying it. Who are you to decide what we can embrace or not embrace if we find it works for us? Where does the hair splitting stop. Do I go to hell if I believe in Jesus but I'm a Catholic? The way you explain it, the way I see it, Hinduism and Bhuddism embraces while Christianity, among other religions, shuts out. You have your all too familiar interpretation of Jesus being the only path to God, and Eva stated hers. Fair enough, can we leave it at that? There is a lot of truth that the seeds of Christ are in many. You can find that in my bible, but I wouldn't assume I'm qualified to discuss theology with you. Now just to confuse you some more(must be the Devil then)even though you will never begin to grasp it,I don't agree with everything Eva wrote either. Its just that listening to you makes me want to give up whatever little faith I have left in the bible and embrace pantheism wholeheartedly. You are a major turn off! Have you been to heaven so that you know pagans, and atheists aren't there? Time will tell.
