Let's have a bet of faith?
I standby my conviction in my GOD, Jesus Christ.
I know exactly where i'm going when I die. Do you share the same
faith as me?
Would you like GOD to be our judge?
Reply YES if you really know GOD, Jesus Christ and you also
shares the same faith and conviction like me.
IF you do not know me in real life and has never met me, do not
make judgement about me. Instead, it is polite to know me
first.
I do not want to talk about myself, but I do have forummers who
know exactly where they will end up the after death. To them, birth
and death is over, they have seen the deathless. I'm still outside
the gate. Similarly many people think they are going to enter the
kingdom of heaven, but they have no idea yet what transforming
union is by direct experience. They still see God as separate.
As a forummer once said,
...Many Christians here cannot accept what I say, even though it
was Jesus who said, "You must be Born Again" and "You must be born
of the Spirit" and insists that it is simply "believe, have faith"
and not a "new birth" in you (the other school hope that as long as
you believe you then assume you have new birth
) As if you need to hope and
not know something so obvious as a new birth in
yourself...
Belief and faith is important, but is it just a conceptual
belief, or a new birth?
Anyway... talked too much, won't say any further.
Regarding differences of path,
Sunyata by
A.H.Almaas, a Islamic Sufi Contemplative and also a Buddhist
practitioner:
If love leads the devotee to the point of the extinction
of personality in the fire of truth, awareness can lead him to the
point of seeing that ego does not really exist, and hence achieve
the same goal of selflessness. Love melts the lover into the ocean
of truth, there remain no traces of an I. Awareness, on the other
hand, cuts through the illusion of a separate identity. It exposes
the lie of ego: that it exists as a reality. Love melts ego away,
while awareness is like turning on the light and seeing that there
is nobody there. The outcome is the same in both cases, but
the flavor of the path is different. One is more emotional, the
other more insightful. The vocabularies of the two paths differ as
a result. The path of
love seeks union with the Beloved, while the path of awareness
seeks the seeing of naked Reality. Just as prayer is the
central practice in the path of love, meditation is the central
practice in the path of awareness... (continued in the
