I am not another notch on your belief belt, alright.You chose death when you were offered life.
We are taught that Heaven celebrates, when anyone comes to the faith.I am not another notch on your belief belt, alright.
What do you mean your hurting for me? Like spiritually? Why? What's gonna happen? Nothing's gonna happen. Don't waste whatever energy you have left on getting your emotions tangled up. There's other people who really need the spare thoughts you have.We are taught that Heaven celebrates, when anyone comes to the faith.
We do not seek, to pigeonhole.
You are struggling to keep your idea of faith, alive - Jesus can help you with that.
"I'll believe it, when I see it" isn't just a cop out, its a really hard way to live. Harder than anything I've faced, now that I "believe".
You've believed that aspects of faith are wanting, but they weren't a response to men, but to God. I don't say this because I hate you, but because I am hurting for you, the same way you are.
No wonder human beings are so screwed up when instead of forming relationships with the people around them, they're getting love drunk with their own personal belief systems.What many are missing here and overlooking, is that simple belief doesn't remain, mere belief. Belief turns into relationship. It's relationship that God seeks with those He created. He established the way, all you have to do is walk in it. The rewards, including eternal life, are worth it.
The above verse is when the First Adam and Ishshah died and returned to the dust of the ground.
The above verse is Bible Typology. It is a foreshadow of the Resurrection of Damnation.
The couple's 'eyes were opened' because they were asleep... as in dead. God raised them with new bodies...
Job 10:11
"Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews."
The 'skins' were not some animal God killed. It was the bodies we have now. They were given what they asked for. The Forbidden Fruit was a Zygote. Adam and Ishshah chose to incarnate into mortal bodies to 'become gods'. They did it for ego.
The rewards, including eternal life, are worth it.
Maybe the Heart would be a better place to start looking.Ah! Feelings. That's where these beliefs have most influence. After checking with ChatGPT if beliefs did have a processing region in the human brain, it found zero. I was correct that there isn't a singular area in our brain that stores and processes beliefs. After a belief is introduced into our minds they become managed by different processing areas, which not much is known about why that is either.
Heart knowledge? Every experience we have originates from the brain. You're basically recommending it's better not using it to feel Jesus. Then there's those other Christian's who'll say "God gave you a brain to use" May this be my last day on earth.Maybe the Heart would be a better place to start looking.
The brain is for reasoning but the heart is where faith is found.
When you try to reason in your heart, you begin to lose faith.
But when you have faith in your heart, your mind will try to reason you against it or for it.
Do you follow your heart or your mind?
God doesn't circumcise the mind he circumcises the heart.
Deu 30:6
And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
But sometimes the mind tries to rule the heart:
Luk 5:22
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
God plants the seed of faith in your heart, the devil tries to take it away by planting his own seeds in your mind.
Your just afraid to let your heart feel anything, so you trust your mind to lead you.
There is a difference between a broken heart and a broken mind.
Some people just too macho to allow themselves to feel anything. They hide in their brain.

Why would you assume I don't have relationships with those around me?No wonder human beings are so screwed up when instead of forming relationships with the people around them, they're getting love drunk with their own personal belief systems.
Another assumption. You are assuming that God doesn't have your best interests at heart. Scripture says however that God is love, and He proved that on Calvary.Do you understand what that would really mean? Do you realise that eternal life could be a living hell if that eternal life is not the life you would want or WILL?
For example suppose I had the power to grant you eternal life right here, right now, but that eternity would be spent as my personal gardener, mowing my lawn for evermore, pruning my shrubs, watering my plants?
Do you think that would qualify as your "rewards"?
I am not another notch on your belief belt, alright.
I didn't, and I did factor that in when I was writing out that post. I was saying that a relationship with a internalized belief pretty much screws you up. You know what it's like to hang out with someone who is just focused on one thing. Day in day out one thing, one thing, one thing, you got to hear that one thing, over and over until you can't breathe anymore.Why would you assume I don't have relationships with those around me?
Who are you? and where's my donkey?We’ve both read the NT; you, “hundreds of times.”
We both know what scripture says you are. The difference is that I believe it and you - by the confession of your own mouth - don’t.
Who are you?
and where's my donkey?
Next time the police pull me over and ask me "Who are you?" I will say: Richard Kimble.* A famous line in the movie High Plains Drifter *
Yeah that's totally f'd up ten ways to sunday.ChatGPT is more open and receptive than you. That is just f'd up.
