Some of you guys are 100% NUTZ!!!!

Jesus is not the solution to everything! It makes you feel good because u are basically putting your problems in Jesus Christ's hands so you don't have to deal with them.

GET OFF your high horse and stop trying to take others cultures and religions away!!! You people have sooooo much nerve!!

SHUT UP already!!!,,,and respect others or YOU will be going to hell in a hand basket.....No doubt about that!!

You are believing in something that is made up by man for power and political reasons! PERIOD!

They use these "GOING TO HELL" tactics as scare tactics to force people to join their cult. If you were truly a good person your sense would tell you what you are doing is dead wrong!!!

STOP BOTHERING PEOPLE AND DISRESPECTING THEM! Let them keep their religion and their beliefs.

You are horrible people!!

After reading this article by Dr Swenson on the need of "margins" in our lives, I was reminded of the following verse found in an old book on the day of opening our tea room five years ago:

I need wide spaces in my heart, where faith and I can come apart and grow serene.

Life gets so choked by busy living; kindness so lost in fussy giving that love slips by unseen.

I want to make a quiet place where those I love can see God's face,

can stretch their hearts across the earth, and understand what spring is worth;

can count the stars, watch violets grow and learn what birds and children know.

As a small business owner, I must also make those spaces for cups of tea and enjoying my loved ones.

Dear Fellow Human Beings,

What is going on lately?

I do not care what religion with which anyone defines themself, including the option to be free and not place oneself in any category. After all, words are not Truth, only our personal experience is.

This board is for making comments about Dr Mercola's new program, which is here for those of us interested. It is not a place for trying to shove your belief systems down everyone else's throats because you think that only you have the true answer. What you have is an ideology you have been taught and chosen to adopt, and that is certainly your perogative. But please- on every board I look lately- Oprah's New Earth discussion boards, You Tube, & now even here- people who call themselves Christians are screaming their ideology at the rest of us and judging everyone (in capitals & bolds no less!)

With respect I ask you.....please- leave us alone & find yourselves some peace! We don't need to be "saved." These behaviors are what give you all a bad reputation. If you have found your answers, then you should be at peace & not have all this anger. Go drink some chamomile tea & sit in a hammock & meditate on peace and one-ness. How you present yourself through your heart says more than any words could possible begin to do.

I do believe that we should believe in god no matter christian,jew ,muslim, There is only one god. I think this is just about how to live stress free I think its wrong to make other religions feel like its only christians that we will find peace.

Dearly beloved Dr. Mercola: I‘ve long desired to have access to a doctor‘s knowledge of the health issue

I‘m confronted with, for myself and my dear friends; and I hope this will be what I have waited for: so God

bless you richly. I appreciate what you have referred us to in the realm of finding inner peace; and it has

obviously worked for you. I believe the day will come for each one of us, when the thing we are

trusting to give us true inner peace will be tested severely; only then will we know whether we have found

the true inner peace - I‘m thinking of the day when each of us will pass from this life into eternity. I have

found true inner peace only after placing my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of Jew and Gentile

who has loved each of us so greatly that He was willing to lay down His life for my sins and yours. I‘m sure

the sin problem in each of our lives is what is at the root of the majority of sickness and disease; and He

has born our sins in His own body on the tree, so that you and I can be freed from the power and penalty

of sin. Now He invites us to receive that free gift of salvation and healing by simply repenting for our sinful living, and inviting Him into our lives as our Lord and Savior and Messiah. It has been immediate

for some, but gradual for others, as they see their circumstances change and their health restored before their eyes. He is the Lord of all, and is returning one day soon to take up His throne in Jerusalem.

What a day that will be beloved; and I truly hope and pray that you wil be there in His kingdom on earth.

In the meantime, could you please tell me what you advise patients with MS to do? I‘m praying for this

dear neighbor, who may or may not be open to receive instruction, but I will gladly be rebuffed for

attempting to help her. Is that the disease which has to do with the mylar coating on the nerves? Thank

you so very much for your help dear Dr. Mercola, and God richly bless you.

Wow, there is so much anger over this subject and much of it seems to come from one group who feel that they are the only ones who know the answer.

Relax, find peace, be peaceful.

This was an excellent article and it was not written to cause dis-harmony. Each should allow others to find their own spiritual way. Screaming and force will not lead others to 'your' path. What will work is a demonstration of your beliefs by the way you live your own life and conduct yourselves.

All of my needs are met. I do not want more than I need. I lead a life of happiness and bliss

Health, Happiness and a life of bliss

This is one of the greatest deceptions of this world.

There is NO peace unless you have a personal relationship with Jesus. There are no exceptions. The only way to having true joy and peace is through God. You cannot create it. You can envision it. You cannot just decide to have it.

This 'inner circle' is feeding into some of the most deceptive principles of New Age thinking. Look it up.

Dr. Mercola is wonderful at teaching us natural and healthy and 'un-processed' ways of living. But for true peace and joy, seek the Lord. He truly has all the answers.

God bless-

WHEN YOU BECOME A TRULY SAVED CHRISTIAN AND THE HOLY SPIRIT RESIDES IN YOU YOUR SOUL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD. YOUR MIND IS NOW THE MIND OF CHRIST. YOU HAVE BEEN MADE RIGHTEOUS BUT THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF YOU IT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST. CHRIST SAID TO DENY YOURSELF, TAKE UP THE CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM. YOUR "OLD MAN" HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST, YOUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN WHEN CHRIST SHED HIS BLOOD AND YOUR ADAMIC NATURE WAS CRUCIFIED WHEN CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED. IT IS FINISHED, HE DID IT ONCE FOR ALL. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO APART FROM GOD. YOU MUST SURRENDER TO GOD. THE FLESH IS WEAK. SEE WHAT CHRIST HAS ALREADY DONE AND WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL DO. PUT ALL YOUR TRUST IN GOD. BE FREE IN CHRIST.

Richard Bach, in his book “Illusions,” says, “argue for your limitations and they’re yours.” I feel that arguing for life’s limitations is worked into the basic premise of this video, which seems to be saying that there are things you have to do (work, family), and things you choose to do (watch TV, and other recreational activities). It seems to be saying that although you’re stuck in the “have to’s” you do have some control—over your response and delegating obligations. And if you use this control, you can be happier with the things you cannot change. The problem here seems to be Dr Swenson’s definition of what you have control over and what you cannot change.

We are making choices every moment of the day. Just because something’s a job, a necessity, or a habit, doesn’t mean that it’s not a choice. Everything we do is a choice. Instead of getting up and going to work, today, you could do ten thousand other things. You’re choosing to go to work. In reality, every moment holds infinite possibilities. Unfortunately, we don’t often grasp that until something unexpected and unpleasant sideswipes us. Yet every moment also holds the potential of positive change.

Yes, taking responsibility for your emotional response to life is a good start. The next step is to take responsibility for the choices you’re making in every moment. When you do that long enough and deeply enough, you’ll begin to really grasp that this moment is a choice, and that because it’s a choice you have the power to choose something else if you wish. That choice can be what you do, as well as what you feel.

We don’t see the many choices we have in life, because of our limiting beliefs. It takes vision and courage to step out of our limited thinking.
