It’s more than a thought process. An experience with God changes both the thought and the feeling. These follow the experience. Many do not get past thinking about God, oneness, etc. Our goal is first-hand experience. Strive for this and your questions will be answered.

Wish my fundamentalist Christian friends could “hear.”

It’s a totally fascinating study that answers and raises new questions. Those who are doing the Q research say we do have a Gospel of Jesus, which they attempt to extract from the synoptic Gospels. For those interested, this is an interesting link: http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=542

When we feel out of control of life as we experience it, we look for saviors or scapegoats.

I liked your comment that we don’t have a Gospel of Jesus. I am aware of the biblical research behind such a statement and in one way or another have taught that over the years. Today’s restatement of what I call this fact enabled me to see the connection between theology and personal agenda more clearly.
