Sounds like the nightmare my life has been and agree that we can spot it in others. It has given me much more sympathy and love for others which I can now spot a mile away. I used to be judgemental but I was that way towards myself as well and beat myself up all of my life.

Amen me too. Amazingly it was not until a year ago that the full reality of it hit me although I knew my family had never been supportive and only ever found fault with me. Now it is all coming in fast. Have you had any trauma counselling Ritajanice?

Correct, He was begotten in eternity which has no beginning but His creation meant that time and space were now in existence.

I believe that God the Father brought the Word His Son forth who was begotten in eternity which immediately meant that He was in the time and space immediately created, and thereafter, the rest of creation took place as God as spirit was unable to enter into T & S. So His Son was able to bring...

It is a hard thing to grasp how Christ created the universe as well as the Father.

Neither do I Lizbeth. It just takes a while to get ones head around the fullness of it all.

@Ritajanice Toxic family - like mine. I was the scapegoat of the narcissistic family system, with the whole family believing that I was the problem, and they never changed that tune. My brother was the golden child and will still put me down if he manages to have contact with me (I am low...

He is not equal to angels as they do not share the same essence as God. He created all things after being brought forth into time and space.

In terms of time not eternity. Born into time means there is a beginning.

Well, it's not a competition...no amount of childhood abuse or type, is acceptable. Believe it or not, a marriage guidance counsellor, responding to what I told her when my ex was complaining about my lack of interest in that department, and said that I should not report it as it would no doubt...

It was not till my 40's that I was able to remember and put a name on it after reading about child sex abuse.

8-10 years of age.

I share that with you - 51 years ago - and I could not believe it when I had my first encounter with the living God which showed me that Christ had died for me - imagine! that me who had been abused so much and who thought that I had little right to exist, not like others who showed up and...

How awful for you :mad: At least you were believed. I did not even have the cognition to know it was wrong - I thought it was normal.

The verse says in Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Being eternal God knows who will respond to His calling. John 1:9 says 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every...

By the way, I believe in predestination. We are predestined to be conformed (not saved). The saved are predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ.

No I don't and this is why - I was sexually abused by an uncle. I cannot believe that God wills for these things to happen to young children, as it not only affects them, but also the children they have later on because they suffer complex post traumatic stress disorder which is not the same...

Wow RJ I was too! And raised by one. I thank God for my past as it has made me what I am now and is a gift that keeps on giving.

The church is notorious in not recognizing personality disorders and putting everything under the umbrella of sinners, not recognizing there is a scale in it and some unsaved people are kind hearted even more so than many believers. The church also has utterly failed believers who have been...

It is good hearing a Christian about this personality disorder as there are thousands of video's on YouTube about narcissism and recovery from being in a relationship with one. Thank you for that.
