    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...

    The Holy Spirit triumphs over the anti-christ - the secret of Revelation revealed (ready?)

    Hi there, So I have been following the unveiling of events as prophesied in Revelation as close as I have been able (it was the first book I read, once I had confessed my sins to God) and I finally have an interpretation that fits - specifically the world's response to guilt, in fear of the...

    If your attitude to "sin" is the same as your attitude to "iniquity": you need prayer! (Please pray for me)

    Hi there, I am in a spiritual struggle and it has dawned on me, that my attitude to sin is the same as my attitude to iniquity - I think of sin as "wrong", but no more wrong than "iniquity". This cannot be the case. I am throwing myself on your mercy, because I want to be an example of someone...

    Thread on "Two Witnesses" in Christian Theology section, should be in the Eschatology section

    Hi there, It's not urgent, but I mistakenly posted a thread on "Two Witnesses" in Christian Theology, when I should have posted it in Eschatology. My apologies for the inconvenience.

    The Two Witnesses (Rev) are told "Come up here"; if they reach Heaven, will they not also come back to Earth? (important?)

    Hi there, So the Two Witnesses are told "come up here" in Revelation 11:12 (that is, "come to Heaven"). But what are the implications of this? Jesus ascended to Heaven and promised to return. If Jesus ascends and promises to return, how is it that the Two Witnesses - called by a voice in Heaven...

    In Heaven we have law to differentiate, praise to unite and prophecy to choose between (excited?)

    Hi there, So there is a reason you have found eschatology so fascinating, in your walk with Christ - here on these forums! The reason is that prophecy plays a big part of the next phase of life: Heaven. In Heaven, we are not bound to believe in just one kind of prophecy, nor are there so many...

    If you can laugh at your cure, you are not far from being well (selah)

    Hi there, So this is a simple proverb that has helped me immensely, so I thought I would share: Just think this over "I am not well, but I don't need to rush to curing myself", "I am prepared to laugh, but not at everything", or "as happy as I am at my cure, there is room for improvement" -...

    "Gratitude" makes an impact on God, even when you are not on speaking terms about anything else (encouraging?)

    Hi there, So there is something in common, between God and Man: both of them respond favourably to gratitude. I'm not exactly sure what the effect is called, but it has been established that flattery works, even when you know you are being flattered. In this sense, God is great at taking a...

    Let the Gospel wash over you, be cleansed (clean?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to speak a little about being free in the Spirit. The scope of the Spirit's freedom is in the scriptures. It is good to search the scriptures, for this reason. However, it is easy to fall in to the trap of thinking, that specific verses are there "just for you". How...

    You are rewarded more for saying "faith without works is dead" than you are for saying "we are under Grace" (able?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple fact that I think a lot of us overlook: you are rewarded more for saying "faith without works is dead" than you are for saying "we are under Grace". What is the difference? The difference is maturity. More people realise that their faith requires something of...

    Argument from infinity (does God beg the question, by pointing to infinity?)

    Hi there, So I have thought long and hard, about why I believe (and what I believe) and I have made very little progress! But something that has encouraged me, is simply that what God created couldn't be as infinite as it is, unless God had willed it to be so. Matter on its own, does not beg...

    Does the Devil have to eat the forbidden fruit, before Man is able to judge his sin? (fighting?)

    Hi there, So as much as the Devil is a scapegoat for evil, I wonder what it means that the Devil has never "eaten the forbidden fruit"? When he accuses us before God, part of the struggle is that the Devil's sin is far sleighter, than the sins of man. The Devil tempts man, but he himself takes...

    The struggle we (as Christians) have at the moment, is that the World wants to add sin, to a hard heart - less would be better (convicted?)

    Hi there, So I won't make a long story about this, but I caught the world sinning and I realised what it was doing in sin: it was adding sin to a hard heart. This is something the world does in iniquity, not because it willingly wants to sin and sin more. The flaw is of course that they don't...
