Gender dysphoria is a mental illness that is caused by a spirit. It is similar to anorexia. There are many spirits that are gone out into the world. But these can be resisted and rebuked. What is harder to dispel is the environment that causes these to seem normal in some way through a misguided...

For the believer in Christ every day is the Sabbath rest. We have ceased form dead works to serve the living God in His rest. Sabbath means to STOP doing what we were once doing...from ourselves.

I think there is a lot of confusion between faith and hope. Faith is something to live in right now...along with love. The the future belongs to hope...a living hope. 2 Co 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

Man...how can people be so far off? Blessing a person doesn't confer eternal life. We are to bless every house we enter. And the rest is all human speculation that assumes that you become a saint by reading a bible.

People always use this inappropriately. The thief on the cross was declared saved by Jesus. Until someone finds a person to declare himself saved....as in (Jesus being silent) I will be with you in paradise this day! The same goes for Abraham. It doesn't say "and he believed God and he imputed...

I was saved...I am BEING saved....and my hope is that God will receive me into His eternal rest come judgment day. I leave the judgment to God...because it isn't the day of self-judgment...but the day where the truth comes out and God will judge every man according to his/her works. And we can't...

That was fast! :) Well no one is finally saved before the end. Until then we are in play...in training...in a race. And being saved to what? Many will be saved and cast away into darkness there to roam in the wilderness forever. So salvation is not an issue...but being a light in the world IS...

I'm a student of the word including a strong inclination to the Hebrew scriptures. I also work with men. I oversee a home fellowship. God is very good! :) Good to see you here. It can get heated at times....the wild west even...but there is an ignore feature that removes the unedifying content...

Welcome here SBG! Please share your gifts with us in the Lord! :)

News flash: that is the purpose of the bible. To point to God and His eternal kind of life in the Spirit. Didn't you get the memo?!;)

Your handlers have conditioned you to respond this way in a classic us and them...zero-sum game maneuver. I study the bible intensely in both French and English...and in Hebrew. Many hours a day...more than most people who say they follow the bible. So I am not denigrating the bible...just...

Are you familiar with double-tapping? I would say that it is better to fellowship in the liberty of the Spirit away from the control mania we see.....and offer an alternative that is in freedom and truth. Our job is to follow Christ not to fix a broken religious system.

I've talked to people who are afraid to go to a church lest they become like the zombies that these produce. And I mean zombies...with that dead look in their eyes from indoctrination and hypnotic suggestion. There is a reason for the popularity of zombies in the West. We ARE in a zombie...

Brainwashing ministries do this...use bible verses to convince you that the good verses apply to you. And you want SO much to believe them...that you allow them to do a number on you. But that's how people become religious...and deceived.

If you were writing a fictitious novel about the early church...I would say go for it. But we are talking about a real God with real people here. You are so wrapped up in a religious theory you can't see the truth. Such is the mind conditioning and hypnotic suggestions mill that operate in the...

But the modern church has turned that into the ego boost of getting yourself "saved."

I see people in real life...not in the bible. The only people I see in the bible are the people mentioned in the bible. Now I know that sounds way too realistic and non-religious...but that is how reality works. So then I don't need a verse to go along with stubbing my toe or talking to a...

I think many modern believers are trying to be the "saved" of the world rather than a light to the world. The self-centered gospel is easy and popular and hides a great lie.

We begin our walk by a salvation through grace...but that continued walk bears a spiritual fruit...if the grace is real...and if we are faithful. We will not be judged easier for the grace we have received...but harder. To whom much is given more is required. But many claim an imaginary grace...

And never justify yourself! :(:cool::eek::oops::rolleyes:o_O
