i like stoics, but the more I gauge and weigh not their words but their deeds, I’d rather be more fine tune with Buddhist and Biblical fundamentals and practices.
For yes, Epicurus, Seneca, Solon, Aristotle, Plato ect and the Roman troupes actions and deeds spoke other wise. They were barbaric, perverted and in some case wicked. They do not stack up against the bibilical teachings, this is evident with Paul, who contended with stoics and epicureans, and for him to convert them, had a blow into the entrance of Europe that converted countless of people to a better life.
Still not over yet, we will know only on the returning of Christ. Which even Muhammad and Muslims acknowledge.
id say worth the wait. Or even better, not only prep for it, but look if the signs point to his soon arrival. But for me, although I have gratitude for stoics, I’d stick with modern business men. Yesert.

Well - I was talking with a muslim women - about Jesus Christ who died and rose from the ded. Her belief was that he did not raise from the tomb, it was another person similar to Jesus who was walking on the earth.

Im not to say that Muslims are 100% right, just that it is possible, how would we know as we do not speak Hebrew or Aramaic if KJV either translated it correctly, or edited some stuff out for personal gain, as we all know their is 77 different versions of the Bible, why so much alterations in just the same language? While the Quran is concise down to only 2-3 based on the quriats and translators, if all imams in various mosques in just Sunni and Shia, agree those are correctly translated, than repetitiveness or pushes forward more perfection in actually following them, like king David said…
1 Chronicles 12:33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
Psalms 12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
David shows as we men all know, when we have a strong team working together in unison we are unstoppable, even if our adversaries are mightier or outnumbers us, our confidence overthrows their abilities in us working together. And as David says a double heart they speak, which one can say they love Jesus, but based on their actions, it shows not so much. Even Jesus says a house divided will not stand, and James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
why thence is Muslims majoritily united with only two subsections? And yet with christianity, you have Coptic, Baptist, Orthadox, Protestant, Rastafarian, Mormon, and more, seems more divided than Muslims, many profess Jesus, but not the prophets, or even lack knowledge of their laws, for remember their laws was given by God, so shouldn’t they be just as honored as much as Jesus? This is the basis of what Muslims say, you cannot discount all the prophets and out all the weight in one basket, especially if one is not practicing what he asks.
Jesus says not to eat the pig? Do you eat pig? Now to a average christian the answer is yes, abundantly, not even trying to fast away from it, so if you are not fasting away from it, you are going away from Jesus. Words means little, action, deeds and conduct are in their own realms. I pray through Jesus to the father, I do not pray to Jesus as the father, both Christian and Muslim have Jesus as the mediator of God. Both agree there is no way to heaven but through Jesus, so when it comes to it…
(Matthew 21:28–32)
Jeusus talks about the parables of the two sons, to me I look at Christian’s and Muslims as brothers and sisters, but the parables of the two sons showed the father told one son to do his chores, and said he would, but didn’t, and the other son was told by the father, to do his chores and he refused, but when the father left, he did his chores anyway. So this is how I gauge believers from non believers, sometimes even with Christian’s and Muslims apart, some Christ followers who quick to bring up their grace and salvation, yet they turn aside immediately back to their sin and disregard Jesuses teachings, Jesuses statues and commandments, not John, Matthew, or Paul, or Judith, but Jesuses, while with Muslims, who don’t profess he is God, don’t profess he is son of God, are doing what Jesus is asking, not eating the pig, being circumcised, tithing, praying 5 times a day ect. So we can all see the signs of who Jesus is talking about when he mentions the parables of the two sons. It’s disheartening but it’s true. The people who say they want Jesus as God are doing less of what Jesus asked compared to people who merely have him as a prophet, or messenger of God, yet are giving vow’t practicing what Jesus asked.
Thats why I owe it to Jesus and to Muhammad to practice what they ask.
@Helgafy
In short, our brethren Bob marley summed up what I just wrote out about my faith, Christian’s who want to demand Jesus is God, or trinity, or son of god or christ or any other such title…
The same will be for those who profess Jesus as lord and savior, I’d be a damn liar if I said I was following him, based on his parables and scripture spoken to his disciples.
For i struggle with scripture, and what both what the prophets asked and even so what he asked. Never mind Muslims, just the Bible alone is difficult to hold steadfast too, let alone the biblical divide of the books and it’s versions, thats why for me, if there is such a thing as salvation and grace, I will pray that it’s true. But I know that grace doesnt cancel law. It gives us a reason to obey it.
