Re: Eternal Life in John
Interesting way of looking at eternal life. Got me reading a bit of Athenagoras I found at CCEL.org

Re: Eternal Life in John
Your treasure is whatever you value in your heart, Faith. That's heaven. That's it. Thank you, that's clarifying. If your heart values the things of Hell, Robin, that's not heaven for sure, but it is where you will end up. To have eternal life you must value the things of eternal life.

Re: Eternal Life in John
OK, I guess I misread you then, or you weren't as clear as I'd thought.

Re: Eternal Life in John
I suppose it's a matter of definitions and you are using the term in a different sense, but I think you ARE spiritual, in a certain sense that some people (but not Christians) are. Your very nihilism is spiritual. People who aren't spiritual don't think about such things.

Re: Eternal Life in John
Being serious, not kind. What did you mean by "spiritual" anyway?

Robin OT spirituality
I can't think you really mean that you aren't concerned with the big picture, but in any case I'll have to find out some other time as I have to get offline now. Hm. Seems to me I'm easy enough to communicate with for anybody who really wants to. And we're way off topic anyway. Guess we should be in Chat or you should email me. Whatever. Nite.
