Hi there, So this is what I would call a clinical diagnosis of backsliding: you had faith, but then a dart of the enemy got through your armor and now you are doing nothing about it. Does that sound about right? The point is that the faith, is simple; it is not the Spirit that separates us...

In the sense that the "Kingdom of God is within you" the end is always near. What we need to understand is that the end in Christ is always new.

In response to the OP: Can you eat an egg, and not believe in the shell, yolk and white?

Hi there, So this is a fairly simple concept, when you understand it, but it can be difficult to communicate. The idea is this: when God talks about the "morning and the evening" he is talking about a span of time, that He creates. In the beginning, God says "let there be light" - at this point...

If you can't predict that a church will be hot or cold, it seems reasonable to say you could do with more faith?

As Christians, what this rule means, is that we don't need to be stressed out that we will never sin again or that we need to know what God thinks, from one second to the next. The Silver Line says "Just try to improve your Christianity, bit by bit, if you want to do it morally"

I came to the conclusion that I might be better off changing my psychiatrist at least once every ten years - I have a problem with someone saying "I can confidently diagnose you, no matter what stage of life you are at" - that, to me, is delusional. On the other hand, I question myself a lot...

I'm still interested in this, if anyone wants to comment. I asked Jesus some other things about my faith, but (partly because I am on medication that limits my memory) I don't remember what it was about or what He said. Nevertheless, I have come back to this topic, to develop it more. My...

Not sure why you want to make it complicated. I did not say there would be a sonic boom in outer space. I just said the idea that the laws of physics are always in action because that's how they should be interpreted doesn't take into account that how the law is fulfilled can vary. God did not...

I think it gave in, when it started advertising charity to me!

So you can't break the sound barrier, because it would create a sonic boom?

Hi there, So I get that "turning the other cheek" is scripture. But there's nothing in scripture that says you can't ask for turning the other cheek to end. Revelation says the anti-christ goes into perdition, meaning the whole world will be tempted to just keep sinning - as Jesus said "he that...

I'm hoping that every Church gets hotter or colder. But I'm going to focus on my Church getting extremely cold!

There! I did it! I stopped hungering for McDonald's. I realised it wasn't just the effect of "sin" but "iniquity" (entrained sin). The work of the Holy Spirit was able to do it!

I have come to discover, that some Evolutionists differ in mindset from others. Some are progressive: they wonder about what they are anticipating, what they will hand on. Some are regressive: they are clinging to what their Evolution has given them and are in a state of panic that they might...

Hi there, So listen, I was struggling with a sin/a temptation for a long time, then I finally kneeled and turned to the Lord and in the process I realised that I had had a fundamental change of approach. I used to think what mattered was my flesh and that my soul would be ok as long as my flesh...

Something that is very strange, is that the addiction is not for anything else. I don't think "I'm craving McDonald's, what if I have a cigarette?" or "I want McDonald's, maybe I'll just have heaps of cheese?" No, it has to be McDonald's; like the Devil is trying specifically, to wear me down...

Just like there are different beasts in Revelation, that all follow each other, so there is a delusion that all those beasts serve, from differing angles. Just like saying "when does slavery to sin run out?" when it never runs out, or you confess, or its too late to do anything about. There is...

The Lord was in pain for our sakes, and He still expected to receive from God, in that state of pain. I'm suffering with you!

Those that are sick, seek those with a healthy mind most of all (selah) Welcome!
