I've started to ask God, to "complete" my desire for McDonald's - it seems to be working. I still look in the direction of the McDonald's when I am passing by, but I don't have any thoughts about it!

Sorry, I just got a little lazy and assumed you would understand it was for the OP.

I think the Golden Proverb has relevance here, but also that we are commanded to love one another. The Golden Proverb is this "you don't have to like someone to be kind and you don't have to be kind, to be liked" Taken together, these two things amount to the statement "there is a limit, to...

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...

It takes a certain level of maturity, to let someone be to their "God" what they want to be.

You are right, the Lord establishes truth, before He makes war. However, you must ask to share in that truth, before you can be made ready for war (whether it is for Armageddon, or another).

I wonder if "12" is the maximum number of close friends you can have?

Part of the problem, when it comes to what Evolutionists believe, is that they feel they have a better theory - as in, they suffer from the sin of comparison. What Evolutionists should be able to trust is that we will not compete with them! It's is quite possible to believe that Evolutionists...

Wouldn't it be great, if we could discuss faith in terms of faith and greater faith (not "faith or not faith")? I mean I appreciate you have a point, but its not fair that you present that point as if others are supposed to doubt theirs - I am not even sure you realise you are doing it (causing...

What you wrote made so much sense to me! I had never thought of faith being a well. If you met someone who was going to dig a well and you knew of one close by, you wouldn't stay silent while a new well was dug; you would tell the man "look! listen! There is a well nearby" That is not to say...

I have been toying with the idea that we are "commanded" to love one another (as if that changes the love we have been given?), so this thread resonated with me. There is something to be said for coming back to the way that the Holy Spirit loves us, as a kind of ground, when what the Devil...

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...

The Law binds that by which the Law may be fulfilled, that's the Law. (selah)

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...

A perfect appetite, is still tempted with undoing (becoming hungry again).

It's interesting isn't it? When we think of the end of our life, we don't typically think of ourselves as being "addicted"? I wonder why that is?

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 thought occurred to me "if Critical thinking doesn't need to lead people to God, maybe critical thinking needs to critique itself"

Part of the solution, is contextualizing when you want an appetite for McDonald's and when you don't. I told myself "If I am eating McDonald's, I prefer to eat it in the morning" this stops it from being a constant nagging temptation with no restraint on when it (the temptation) is relevant...
