Thought Provoking Words from George MacDonald

"Never did she question the truth of what she heard, and she became skilled in its arguments and forms of thought. But the more familiar one becomes with any religious system, while the conscience and will remain unawakened and obedience has not yet begun, the harder it is to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Such familiarity is a soul-killing experience."

~ from The Lady's Confession p. 62.

Thanks for sharing this quote. It struck me deeply. I've been feeling somewhat lost lately, like I know so much about Christianity and have always known it to be true, yet it's... distant.

Thanks also for visiting my blog. I'd like to begin posting more frequently again... I've been feeling uninspired to write, in almost a similar way to that I've been feeling about Christianity, now that I consider it.

Thank you again for your words. I enjoy your blog. :)

I would like to comment the Christian belief of how to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

How to live in order to enable the Creator in His loving kindness to provide His kipur –atonement- is outlined in Tan’’kh ; and was also taught by Ribi Yehoshua. Ribi Yehoshua (the Mashiakh; the Messiah) from Nazareth taught in accordance with Tan’’kh the only way to get connection with the Creator (which enables heaven if one is connected when one dies), This way is found both in Torah and in Ribi Yehoshuas teachings found in our website – www.netzarim.co.il
