Please excuse my spelling as English is my second language. I am not good with putting thoughts into words at all, but will try.
I am very interested in the way the Quakers think and very familiar with lots of view points. I was raised in a very strict Christian Church. Just been reading something so positive on one of the posts regarding the way Quakers see the Light within and the Christian Fundamentalist stressed the sinfullness in man. Its terrible to go to church and to hear how sinfull and wrong you are. You look at things totally different.
I see the Bible as a Spiritual book that applies to our lives today. I believe in evolution and do not think that this natural earth was created 6000 years ago. I believe that the creation takes place in man on a daily basis spiritually.
The first thing God created was light. He never created darkness. This He created on the first day. The sun, moon only got created the forth day???? The light being the understanding.
There are lots of things that I would like to disguss, but I do not see a forum where people can casually and in very 'normal; english exchange viewpoints.
God also said let Us make man in our image. Us meaning He was not alone. Then He created Adam and Eve (spiritually) and Adam's sons was sent to the land Not to go and get themselves wives. So they were not the first people - If you want to look at this as a natural accurance.
Anyway enough said. I am glad to have found this site. To grow and learn spiritually everyday.
Regards
Lara
