    Knowing that, then you might recognize that the bible is a consolidation of many other traditions that came before it. That said, why would you be offended by my using some of it's wisdom sayings.

    You associated Christianity with the bible but Christian teachings have little to do with what the bible teaches. Especially literal readers who do not have a clue as to what the scribes were trying to tell us.

    Take these few quotes.

    Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

    John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

    Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    Rather mystical teachings. Right?

    Have you ever heard any preacher or priest suggest that the bible teaches esoteric and mystical doctrines?

    Neither have I.

    "So what is the truth "about Gods"? Do you think that you possess it?

    Yes, but only for my God. Other than that, I try to have other follow the way Jesus taught and the way that the church will never teach. I can vouch for that way or I would not speak of it.

    AND

    I suspect many others

    AND

    Color me confused.

    What you describe are levels of cooperation. We can only either cooperate of compete. You have eliminated cooperation so that only leaves competition as a way to rise within the ranks and that causes victim of the losers of those competition. They would think evil has come their way. That seems strange and faith killing to me more than cooperation.

    If you are not advocating competition, and you have eliminated cooperation, just what method or strategy are you suggesting for moving up the ranks.

    Yet there is evidence that Souls do exist .

    Research into past lives , so far lead to the conclusion that Souls do in fact exist .

    There are various kinds of co-operation and various kinds of enterprise in which co-operation is practiced - some are called conspiracies. Bribery, coercion and betrayal is what it takes to gain power. Since religious faith and ideological conviction are supposed to be pure and independent of competition, the price of admission to smaller and higher "levels" of power
    that compromise the principle
    is co-operation among a cabal, and stands against the cause you campaign for or the belief-system you preach, is the wrong kind of co-operation.

    Souls do not exist

    Past lives do not exist

    Look up the word exist please

    But as a person very interested in human anatomy if you can indicate where does the soul reside within the body?

    I am interested in seeing one as in over 40 years nursing I have never seen one

    Also I have never paid any attention to mine if I have one

    Can't do either .

    This does not negate that the Soul is real .

    So the material Universe is the only Universe that actually exists ?

    How though is a Soul not part of the material world ?

    To me the Soul is the evolution of life , which material world is a part of .

    Can you provide any substantive, tangible evidence of a soul?

    (note - I am playing devils advocate here - I personally believe in the idea of a "soul", though what exactly it is or how to properly define it, I believe eludes us at this time)

    Read books about the evidence of the after life .
