If the above quoted material is rephrased in personal terms, I believe much of the 'arguing' will disappear. For example, "The only way for me to reach the Father is through Jesus Christ..." or "I cannot communicate with "source" / God if I do not acknowledge Jesus and believe that Jesus came to earth and died for me."
Most of your writing is in terms of your experience but when coming to the "Jesus" theme, it suddenly turns to absolutes. I suggest this is what people are reacting too.
Welcome to Avalon, I look forward to reading more about your experiences as you are able to share them.

I will say what I believe -- and I believe that ALL people SHOULD be able to. People can take it on board, or they can reject it. I am not going to chase anyone up and down any streets if they reject what I say. I would appreciate it if you had any comment on the initial post, concerning my experiences -- because that's what the thread is about. If I mention anything about WHY I believe something, you are free to accept it or reject it, but I don't want the whole thread to take off on a tangent.
