    I'm sorry I hated you (Church), the cares of this life choked me (forgiving?)

    Hi there, So I will keep it brief, so as not to weary you: my family went through a very trying time, all sorts of things, financially also and I began to rebel against the faith. I didn't know how to keep myself clean and fed my soul with anti-Christian music. It reached the point where I...

    The Devil has many religions, the Lord has a relationship (relating?)

    Hi there, So I just want to call out "false religion". False religion, is a work of the Devil - as such, it is to be resisted. False religion is not something you should entertain by degrees - the Devil will snare you in false religion, whether you are a novice or an expert. As scripture says...

    I'm trying to squeeze my brain dry, of schizophrenia - but it doesn't seem to work (wise?)

    Hi there, So it doesn't seem to matter how I settle, how I find rest, I always seem to have schizophrenia. I think part of the problem, is that I am trying to purge myself, when really I should be coming under the Lord's yoke - whether I have a little schizophrenia or a lot. Can you see this? I...

    You can't leave (Earth) until everything you have earned has been claimed - in essence: Jesus ensures that we give up the world (rich?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple proverb which comes to me every so often, which is this: What does this mean? It means everything we do from beginning to end, has to be weighed, set apart and valued. Everything we have done has been recorded in a book (see Revelation), so it is entirely possible...

    One of the best things I ever learned, was to be still - pray that my brothers and sisters in Christ develop this fruit as well (please?)

    Hi there, So I have meditated consistently for a couple of decades now and I have never looked back. Jesus said "by your patience possess your souls" (Gospels, from memory). I think we should take that seriously! "He who loves Me, keeps My words" (Gospels, from memory). The thing to note, is...

    Oppression comes, from distorting the Gospel (twisted?)

    Hi there, So it is a simple thought: the Gospel points to the Gospel, that's the Gospel (selah). But how does it play out? In reality there are many attempts at pointing to the Gospel, but only so many succeed. The rest become distortions of the Gospel, that twist and divert from the Gospel's...

    How much does God suffer, knowing He created to suffer? (character?)

    Hi there, So I just want to dwell briefly on the fact that God does not create, such that we suffer on our own, but that God creates knowing He will suffer from His creation suffering. God suffering is why our relationship to Him is so important: without a relationship to God, there is no end...

    It matters to God, whether He creates consciously or unconsciously (choosing?)

    Hi there, So I have had a little of an awakening, actually. Not only have I come to the conclusion that you can't save yourself, unless you have first obeyed; but I have come to the realisation, that the state you are in when you commit your obedience to God, matters to God. Let me explain what...

    The soul of the Holy Spirit lived in Jesus' flesh (Word?)

    Hi there, So I am not sure where to take this belief, but the Holy Spirit has come to reveal to me, that His soul dwelt in the flesh of Christ. When Jesus died on the Cross and was speared, blood and water coming out of His side, was a sign that the Holy Spirit's soul was leaving His body. This...

    John the Baptist will come to convict the world of Answer, Truth and Spirit (heard a message?)

    Hi there, So you know that Jesus perceptively announced that the Holy Spirit would convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment? That is fascinating, but there is a truth in that, which is that God has a conviction for all of us to share with the world. Not only that, but everyone who...

    Fallen away from the faith, and miss it? Nothing is stopping you from praising God for the beginning of your faith once again (commitment?)

    Hi there, So you had it, you chose to believe and you threw everything in; it was easy, it was light and you loved it. Then trials and tribulations came along and you started to doubt. Doubt turned to complacency (a lesser evil) and complacency to a deadness in your spirit. Then you quit. It...

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    Hi there, So I guess this falls under the category of "ask and you shall receive", and since I don't know what I am going to receive, it is also a matter of faith. The essential point is that I understand what it means to love someone, but when it comes to loving the brethren I have never asked...

    In the beginning, nothing broke the Law, that's the beginning (selah)

    Hi there, So a very simple concept for you to get your head around: in the beginning, nothing broke the Law, that's the beginning (selah). What does this mean? It means that God was determined that nothing break the Law, and nothing broke the Law. If nothing breaks the Law, then it is perfect...

    Newbies! You've got to learn to "back yourself" - there are decisions you would never make, if you had the right faith!

    Hi there, So in a few short words, I grew up in a wealthy family, in a wealthy area, going to a wealthy Church. Then the Devil snatched it all away and I made some very poor life choices. Then I came back to the faith and started to pick up the pieces. That's the short of it. But this is what I...

    I was faced with returning to the world, or going and serving Jesus and I returned to the world (lost?)

    Hi there, So this is the problem: I was faced with returning to the world, or going and serving Jesus and I returned to the world. Now, I am aware of a couple of scriptures here: one, Jesus said to the man who had legion "go back to your home town and tell them what God has done for you and how...

    In Heaven, believers will wake up at a similar time and go to sleep at a similar time (rested?)

    Hi there, So this is something that may not have occurred to you, but there are patterns, in Heaven. One of those patterns is the cycle of the Day. The cycle of the Day is not dictated, rather everyone gets up at a similar time and goes to sleep at a similar time. Fundamentally, they do it...

    Now you have two forms of knowledge: that you know and that Christ knows you (torn?)

    Hi there, So there is a dynamic in the life of Earth dwellers that wasn't there before: concerning knowledge. Originally, the knowledge of good and evil, was knowledge of the one - destroyed by sin, but always being knowledge of the one. Then Christ lay His Life down, destroyed by sin, but...

    The Lord has a dilemma: how to have me react to His Spirit, without having me succumb (to pride)

    Hi there, So I just need to get this out in the open basically: I am sensitive to the spirit, but not necessarily in a good way, but on the other hand, I am tempted to be proud and interpret great levels of perception as my doing (or my flesh or something). It's difficult for the Lord, because...

    What God says to the world, will be taken up and only heard in Heaven (ready to leave?)

    Hi there, So it is apparent that there is a parallel to the Rapture. The Rapture happens on Earth. The Two Witnesses go to Heaven. So it is with the faith. When we die, what we know about God does not remain on Earth. Rather what we know about God becomes Heavenly and we ourselves go to Heaven...

    It's OK to be stupid, as long as being stupid doesn't put you in the way of the Devil (unaided).

    Hi there, So yes, I have come to the conclusion that I have been tempted to be so smart it is "sin". I have approached being smart from all kinds of angles, been too verbose and have complicated what I mean. All this I have done, in order to be assiduous in my own estimation. The problem is I...
