Chapter 9
Why are we here?

Picture 42122452I I believe that there is only one truth, if we can agree that there is one way, we come to earth, - time and space, which is through a woman’s womb, and then we should be able to agree in the one truth that happens to us when we die.

The primary reason why we are here is to grow our Soul and get it closer to wholeness or oneness with God. The second or secondary reason we are here is to help and Love …show more content…

So it’s either we rely on the Holy Ghost as I like to put it, (ghost and spirit mean the same thing.) to teach us, or we down grade and fall short to religion. I don’t know about your experience, but my experience, as I mentioned earlier, was painful.
I like the amplified version of the same verse, let’s have a look.

But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, [a]you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him].

The line I want to focus on here is where it says that the anointing giving us insight through the Holy Spirit. Revelation is another word for in sight and when I read the bible that’s what I am looking for. I also like to call it reading between the

I remember someone saying, "There's one sure thing about life, no one gets out alive!" Many times I am sure it has been asked, why do we exist, or what is my or our purpose?

I have known women who had several abortions, which made me wonder when they finally decided to

Summary: Perspectives On SPIRIT Baptism

1730 Words | 7 Pages

PERSPECTIVES ON SPIRIT BAPTISM The Reform position of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is possibly the most commonly held position in the American mid-west. Walter Kaiser is a brilliant theologian but very typical in his assessment of the Holy Spirit’s representation in the New Testament. Kaiser does a masterful job of presenting the theological and chronological exegesis of the Holy Spirit without jumping off the Calvinist cliff. He makes an excellent observation of seeing the Pauline letters as didactic and Lukan letters as narrative, but falls short of full scholarship by asserting that narrative passages could not be doctrinal in scope.

Although I am a Catholic, I am very open to other beliefs and in a way, I have shaped it into my own beliefs. For instance, I believe that all religions are tied together in a way. I also believe that no matter who you are or where you come from, God has a plan for you and will try to guide you down the path of righteousness. However, some may ignore and fall away from the path. I think that without my faith and its teachings I would be lost and have failed to continue on with my journey.
