I'm not interested in a bible quote duel! We both know that the bible has lots of misquotes. Who knows what he really said? My point was that he DID say a lot of love/peace/forgiveness stuff too.

I heard a lot of very interesting and threathing things about channelers and spirit contacts before i came here. Should i have believed someone elses opinion and not check for myself?

I just told you I never have.

Very simple: White magick is for healing; black magick is for harming. White magick isn't done without permission; black magick has no regard for the free will of others. And gray magick has good intentions but without permission so it can inadvertently harm.

No, actually I don't choose to do that at all. Did you miss the part about me not being a church-goer?
I choose to no longer go to any church, because it's too much hassle tuning out the preaching, and there are other ways to feel uplifted.
I said I have and I could, if the situation warranted it, like for example to a wedding. I could enjoy the singing and appreciate the good that is there, and make the best of my time there, for the sake of family and friends. I would add my love and blessings to the newlyweds along with all the churchgoers. Genuine prayers of love know no boundaries; if the vibe is positive I wouldn't care what religion it was, just for that short while, while we were praying together for something positive.

No, not in many years. I don't do that stuff anymore. I'll pass on the Constantine movie.

I know what you mean about focusing on the music and the singing and the nice stuff, its all very nice and good, but you could have a music player with you that has a few CDs of church music
It's not about the music. I don't like church music. It's about the energy behind the music. A church full of people singing worship songs can generate a very positive vibe.

But i must admit, a warm church with people to pat on the back is usually preferable to the cold street. But tuning out is a perfectly good way to face religious dissodance.
You apparently have me confused with someone else. I offered my opinion in response to your request, so I'm going to exit this discussion now. Best wishes on whatever you decide!
