Edit:  I just reread what I wrote, and thought about how it came across.  You need to understand I've been a shut in for YEARS studying God and becoming infactuated, it's difficult for me not to come on strong, and I see that I'm coming on TOO strong.  I will try to curb this behavior into a something that considers YOUR forum, YOUR culture, YOUR feelings, more from now on.  My apologies.

The good news is this discussion isn't taking place within the confines of the forum.

This is Symphonious7's Blog.

Personally...I don't care  BUT, if you don't mind, I will leave you with a word of caution.

 

"Religion" is one of those infamous 3rd-rail-topics.

Many feel they have a firm grasp on it, yet no 2 people I've ever known can agree on exactly what God is, much less what name he (or she) should be called. 

Because of that almost certain disagreement, the topic is discouraged on the website.

I'm sorry gentlemen, but in the never-ending battle of "your God vs. my God" there are no winners...only pissed off losers.

At the end of the day, we all get to believe whatever we wish to believe...and I wish to believe that's a good arrangement.

 

Now, let's talk about a safe subject! How 'bout politics?  Lololo.....

Your point has so much volition with 99 percent of the world.  It really does, because very few take their faith so seriously that it BECOMES THEM.  It is ALL they are.  However in my case, this is such.  I can talk nothing but God's truth.  The good news is I don't care if you believe me!  hahaha, I'm not doing a "your god vs my god" kind of thing, I'm speaking from my utmost heart, what comes from my innermost spirit, for it has become the only way I know how to speak.  And thus, it will always come back to the God who is all to all, who is everything to everyone, for nothing outside of Him has existence.  BUT, I will not be that annoying guy that needs you all to agree with me!  It's just who I am!  It's just what I do!  And if you can tolerate a little God talk here and there we can be great friends!  But if you need me to try and dumb down my words, the spirit won't continue, and I'll have to move on.  But I love you all so much, and hope you can handle me.

I believe that it's OK for a person to find out the way to their own spirit in whatever way they can. 

 

I believe in the teachings of Jesus but I also believe that we have had many great teachers in our history that can lead us to a path of righteousness. Once you tell someone that your way is the only way you are on stoney ground.

I did not intend this to develope into a religious discussion, I was just relating my personal experience of where I believe my lyrics emanate from. In any case, there is a paragraph in the rules of this website that discourage religious discussion.

I didn't know that!  I may not be able to be a huge part of this community if that's the case, I really don't have anything else to talk about it's all I do day in and day out, read God's word, pray, ask for direction, feel the spirit, do what it says.  But I don't disagree with what you're saying entirely, I think that it's kind of like a... like zooming in on something.  When you go to christianity, you are zooming in on the real definitive thing as close as you can, but within other beliefs (especially bhuddism) real thoughts of God are in there, they just don't come into full clear focus, doesn't mean it's not coming from the same source you know?  And know that lying spirits DO try and pervert all the religions, you have to go with what you know inside, what resonates deep down when you're honest, and it's easy to get decieved.  So I would say that the bible is the MOST magnified and detailed explanation of everything, but that doesn't mean that other writings weren't getting clues to the truth you know?  anyway, I don't need anyone to believe what I say really, I need them to love.

I always give credit for my lyrics to God because I believe that when you are connected to God you are connected to your spirit where all creativity emanates from. I couldn't tell you who or what God is but to me it is a deep connection to oneself and the sum of your life experience and to make that connection you need to be able to look yourself in the eye and face the emotions that many prefer to avoid.

I learned early on in life that their is no gain without pain and that by suppressing and avoiding pain it also deprives the soul of joy. When we open our soul and trust that all will be OK, we open the window to creativity. 

See while I do believe ultimately God is Jesus, I think his spirit can be inately accessed by all, I mean he's the God of ALL right?  I feel like there is a river in everyone's heart, and we know the difference between accessing our head and letting that river of love and truth flow out.  It's hard for us to break out of the mind prison and I do believe people can get so stuck in their sins they can't access the river without Jesus' teachings and His help, but I think some people just always have access and never know who they're talking to, and that's fine.  So... I'm right there with you, it's an honest space in the heart that you know is your core being and that core is always love, if someone looks inside and finds anything else?  They've buried the river with all their bad decisions and giving over to lust and carnality, but it's still in there somewhere, it's what makes us human, we are the house of God.

Hey Symph! Nice see your name popping back up. I like this. God has a way of helping when you ask (and sometimes when you don't ask too!) I don't do mixes but can relate this to my songwriting on many of the points you've brought up here. Fear, striving for perfection, writing from the heart, knowing when to quit, being honest, and always grow and learn!

See you around!

Absolutely, I don't want to wind up being that weird guy who always relates everything back to God, but at the same time that's my life you know?  It's what I study and think about and research almost 24/7 so...  everything's always gonna come back to that with me, it's nice to see people being open to it.  Thanks for your comment!
