Again I may be projecting, but I've experienced severe PTSD personally, and good relationships (especially with God) are precisely what helped me. I won't go into my past, but I will tell you it was like living in hell. I completely and totally agree that we need to focus on others rather than...

What did you mean by "you need a starving man first"? I ain't too bright sorry lol. But as I said before, trauma is easily cured with good relationships. Also, develop a good relationship with God first, and the rest will follow.

I will also say this: faith lost was never faith at all

From everything that you've said, I can gather that you feel lonely. Trauma and things alike are easily cured with the right relationships. Love really is the answer to all. But, you still feel as if no one is there for you. Do you trust that God is there for you? It doesn't sound like it. Now...

Yeah I realize that, my goal isn't at all to convince them, since I know how stubborn they are. My only goal is to break a single link in the chain and hope and pray the rest will unwravel in time. That's a big reason for them wanting to stay. I also was thinking of writing something about how...

I've written this document to print out and go through with some Jehovah's Witnesses I know. If there's any issues, or anyone would like to add or improve anything I'd really appreciate it. Mainly I think the "some quick points" at the end could use some improvement.

But what about those who never heard the gospel, or were only taught lies their entire lives, like Muslims? Aren't they judged by their desires?

I think I see what you're saying. So when we focus only on God we succeed in doing his will, but when we focus on ourselves we fail to do his will and fail because it's impossible with man. It reminds me of this dream I had Dream about casting out devils please read that and let me know what...

Yeah I know what you're saying. But it is still our choice ultimately is what I'm trying to say. We can reject God's will, or allow it to take control of us. And again, there are parts of me that don't desire Christ's righteousness, but other parts of me that do want him. So what saves us in...

Alright, well Christ has saved me from a lot of things already, including drug addiction. But the way I understand it right now is he wants me to discipline myself. He wants me to learn how to control myself and not give myself over to lust or the other evil desires that are left in me. I'm not...

Yes but "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." - Matthew 7:21-23 And those who never heard the gospel about Christ can still be saved. Like Moses. So it is truly to do with your desires. I said...

Actually that reminds me of this man's experience: He was a devout Christian who looked after orphans and served justice his entire life, but when he died God rejected him, and he fulfilled the "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven" verse in his...

I agree with you. I believe God will judge people based on what they desire. If they desire to be with him, then Jesus paid the fine for them. If they desire to be righteous in their own eyes, or if they don't want to believe in God, then they will be destroyed. I don't believe anyone in the...

I guess it also applies to people who believe in false religions. I know some very good people who are Muslims, and they for the most part don't accept all of Islam. They take out the good parts, and live by them, but reject the bad parts. So I can completely understand why they might not...

Whenever I speak with atheists, and they continue to deny the evidence of God, I start to get quite angry. And I believe Jesus when he says that hating someone is murdering them in your heart. It's not necessarily that I hate unbelievers, but I absolutely despise the lies that the devil has...

I had a dream that I was casting out devils from my own subconscious mind. I was running around through the streets, and stopping each person I met, telling them "the power of Jesus Christ compels you to leave my body" when I felt afraid because of them. Sometimes they listened and I saw them...

Everything points to the universe being predetermined And since God knows everything we'll do, and has planned works for us in advance, fate and destiny do exist So a natural question is why didn't God tell Adam and Eve about the serpent if he knew they would be deceived and choose to rebel...

Also I need to say this as well, that the only enemy is ourselves. We are the evil one. Embrace that idea always, and learn to do good.

Every verse in the Bible is good, or means something good. Sometimes though we may imagine evil against the face of the Lord and fail to see the good news or the truth. For instance, in Romans 14:5 Paul says "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days...

Thank you. I'm beginning to see now the difference between my pride and love for my genuine Spiritual gifts. What pains me the most is that it is so incredibly real, but there are so many in the world who cannot see it and could have their eyes opened instantly if they just believed. That's why...
