    Reading the parable of the Sower, as a parable about the Holy Spirit (open?)

    Hi there, So this might open up your thinking about the Holy Spirit: the parable of the Sower, can be interpreted as being about the Holy Spirit. We typically think that the Word of God can be about anything, that there are some who receive it and some who don't. But strictly speaking, the...

    Don't replace a plank, with a greater plank! (plank?)

    Hi there, So I just had this really simple thought and for my own sake if no-one else's, I thought would just meditate on it for a moment. The thought is this: Jesus said "don't try to take the speck out of your brother's eye, when look! A plank is in your own eye" (Gospels, from memory); now...

    Jesus had the Greatest Will to Live, of any one (One?)

    Hi there, So just to give you something, that will help you relate to Christ: Jesus was the One with the greatest will to live, compared to any Man. It was through this will to live, that He learned to heal and deliver. There was mastery in this, in the end, for He lived so effectively for God...

    Three ways of listening: with the head, with the heart, and with the soul (time to spare?)

    Hi there, So I am just expanding on the idea that "to him who hears, more will be given" (from Mark, from memory). How do we make sure that we are listening as much as possible? The answer is in part, to meditate on how it is that we listen. There are three main types of listening: with the...

    "I really believe (that), they really believe it" - what is the sense of watching 'drama'? (emulating?)

    Hi there, So I have struggled for a long time, with the mystery of television. It has always seemed to me very strange, that people acting in a scene are thought to be doing it best, when they believe it themselves. It is a mystery is it not? Ought we not think 'oh! that's how they wanted to...

    "Put a *hole* in my flesh, Holy Spirit, and all that my corruption got me, in Jesus' Name Amen" (holding on to sin?)

    Hi there, So I want to pray by example here, that other people who struggle with the flesh might know the way out, that the Holy Spirit gave. I sinned. That's the short of it. But the problem became that I held on to my sin. My flesh was enlarged, by the pleasure and I ceased to know a way out...

    I knew the person who started 'ghosting' (speaking as though you have the voice of another person) - it fulfilled the words of Jesus

    Hi there, I am a little vague on what the meaning of "revelation" is (in the context of a forum). But since no one else has posted, I thought I might offer something. I knew the person who started "ghosting" (speaking as though you have the voice of another person). "Ghosting" was a response...

    Something happened to my mind out of nowhere and I am confused as hell on what to do.

    I feel like my mind is messed up for real and I don't feel well. Please pray for me

    They're running out of pressure, their mutations are getting worse, the Devil won't relent - who but God is there for the Evolutionists? (scared?)

    Hi there, So there are three elements in the thread title: running out of pressure, losing control of mutations, and struggling with the Devil. The issue of running out of pressure, is the hardest one - you have to take stock of all that mankind has been able to do, and weigh that against the...

    If everything was used properly, would there be any suffering? (because?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple concept you can grasp, when it comes to suffering, which points out what the power of suffering is: In other words, it's not the fire that is the problem, but the combination of the creation of fire, with the vulnerability of the flesh. But this leads to a further...

    I asked Jesus to critique my faith - He said "you take too long to rebuke the Devil" (no kidding!)

    Hi there, So those of you who are mature will love this. It's about a relationship with Jesus, that you can actually test. Getting feedback on faith (anything really) is really important to getting it right; so knowing that you can trust Jesus for feedback should really help you. What I did...

    Pray that the hot confess the lukewarm; pray that the cold confess lukewarm (Revelation 3:16)

    Hi there, So I made this big deal about being hot or cold in a thread in the eschatology section and I learned from it that actually not having faith that I am hot or cold was an area of sin for me. Now I am not saying it is a sin for everyone, if they don't understand that they are supposed to...

    Jesus said "you will give account of every idle word, in the day of Judgment" - sometimes all you can do is question what you've said (questioning?)

    Hi there, Ok, so I had a personal experience where I said something - if you can call it me speaking (I didn't know what I was saying) - and it gave the Devil the upper hand in my life. I tried for years to get rid of him, put him and what I had said out of my mind, and it didn't work (not...

    Could the world have hallucinated that the Christ was here on Earth, and had hope in the resurrection in the end? (suffering?)

    Hi there, So this is not meant as a criticism of the faith; I am not saying the world actually hallucinated Christ. The real benefit of this question, is when it comes to our own faith: how deep is it? do we know the difference between suffering in Heaven and suffering on Earth? For example...

    To enjoy Grace in Heaven, you have to love the work (selah)

    Hi there, So you would have to have been deaf to the world, not to have heard the phrase "we are saved by Grace, not of works" among Christian circles. However, I want to challenge that. For a long time, I have believed that "a mature Christian, makes work a priority", which is not to say that...

    So what does the divinity of Jesus really mean, anyway?

    So what does the divinity of Jesus really mean, anyway? ---------------------------------------------- The divinity of Christ is being celebrated on these sites and forums like people moving back and forth on a stage in ignorant jubilation, throwing out endless amounts of presents to their...

    Revelation says there are three things you need to do, about the rule of the flesh over Earth (got life in mind?)

    Hi there, So I don't think of the anti-Christ in terms of his rule over the Earth any more; to me the anti-Christ is synonymous with "flesh" - the "flesh" will rule over the Earth. We don't need to fear the spirit, which is 'anxiety' - any spirit, including the anti-Christ's. To be ready for...

    I can't tell you how much dealing with a Chromium deficiency has changed my life! (addicted to sugar?)

    Hi there, So I have been taking a Chromium supplement for a couple of years now and my internal integrity is just so much better! It started when I found out that an addiction to sugar, is sometimes caused by a Chromium deficiency. There is some process in the body that responds to a sugar high...

    The internet hates you, baby! (looking for Christians?)

    Hi there, So I have been having this battle with the internet for a little while now. It started when I was asking about someone with dementia being prayed for and the internet threw up ads for a cure for dementia. Later it was hermit crabs, when my Mother bought some hermit crabs. All kinds of...

    I am struggling with the notion of pre-destination - can flesh be predestined? (strong?)

    Hi there, So this is a doctrine of Jim Brown of Grace and Truth Ministries: that the believer is predestined to do good and go to Heaven. I haven't dug deeper than that, and already it is causing me problems (perhaps that I have not studied more deeply is part of the problem!). My problem is...
