    Will God's will be done no matter what we do?

    I agree 100 percent. Was Jesus talking about the Decretive will when talking about us being His brothers and sisters?

    Is allowing these negative issues to happen His will?

    Will God's will be done no matter what we do?

    We are told by Jesus if we do His/God's will we are His brothers and sisters. Not even bringing to attention the Armenian vs Calvinists doctrines and their debates, but either way won't His will be done no matter what?

    Any Christians here who also struggle or have struggled with mental illness?

    That is true, and it also carries a stigma that I don't like at all. Trying to be a stoic Christian man while dealing with things that you seemingly can't control. I've never done any kind of narcotics, drinking etc, so it's not brought on that way. I have dealt since a child, it is just...

    How do we know the Jesus we hope for is how He is?

    I often think I really hope Jesus will be giving me a hug and welcoming me when The time comes, or that when I am in a horrible mental spot, He is smiling down knowing everything will be ok and comforting me... however not all believe that He will be smiling and ultra forgiving....Specifically I...

    How do you become content with all the differing views?

    Thank you for the lengthy post. I agree with your sentiment, however I was specifically talking about all the differing views in the body of Christ, some of which are quite significant differences.

    Do you ever find yourself frustrated at things you shouldn't?

    Definitely anxiety, ocd, probably ADHD

    Do you ever find yourself frustrated at things you shouldn't?

    If a prayer goes on longer then in my mind it should, or if a sermon goes on and on, I find myself getting frustrated. I am assuming a wiring issue with my personality. Do you find this to happen

    Is this a legitimate feeling?

    I'm an accomplished strength athlete and have in the past enjoyed showing my feats etc...deep down I have often thought how terrible I would feel if someone struggling in life were to see my achievements and felt bad. In fact bragging or people thinking I am boasting has always made me feel...

    How do you become content with all the differing views?

    I understand but what about when those differences are as serious as whether salvation is given or not? Baptism, no baptism etc
