Wow! So, I finally broke free of the Devil's attacks! It has been a constant battle, but the Lord has finally prevailed! The whole thing pivoted on one thing, that which is faith is faith and that which is death is death. You literally cannot hold on to your life and expect the Devil to ignore...

Hi there, This verse literally saved me, from myself. Specifically, I realised that I was making plans constantly, without trusting the Lord at all. Even in meditation, I would try to reach a state that I thought was stable - not what the Lord was giving me, should He be willing. If feel a...

God has great wrath for the unrighteous, ungodly and unrepentant, but great mercy and kindness to those who embrace His beloved Son Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Romans 1 [18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress...

Hi there, So there is a simple lesson to learn, here: don't just punish the Devil. When Satan entered Judas, Jesus didn't say "now I condemn you!" - He said "What you do, do quickly" (gospels, from memory). This implies that the Devil can only do so much and that if we contradict him, the...

Hi there, So I contend two things, here: one that the Holy Spirit reminds us of Jesus' Cross; two, that the inactivity of the Church, will lead to the battle of Armageddon. The concept I want you to understand, is that the world, in whatever state it is in, needs to see evidence of faith. When...

Hi there! So this is just an exercise in commitment. Your life is going to end. You can try to end it, yourself. Or you can end it, in the Holy Spirit. The typical life to aim for is the good life - three score years and ten (70 years). At some point, even if you don't get the good life, your...

Hi there, So there is a simple test, to whether you are over-cooking your faith: are you doing it, together with others? In Heaven, you don't do anything, that is without friendship. Even if all you do is participate in Spirit, you wait till you are together in Spirit. There is no "reading the...

Hi there, So I have languished for a long, long time that I departed from the faith, as a teen - having had a reborn experience when I was even younger. I would always scour the skies so to speak, looking for the inspiration that would bring my faith back to life. Again and again I would come...

Hi there, So this is something that has been bubbling up in me for some time: the idea that Salvation is not of works, because it is of Grace, is well understood. What is happening though, is that that understanding can lead to choking the inspiration that is trying to ignite under the blaze of...

Can someone explain why this sin is unforgivable unlike genocide, rape, and incest? Why is this sin unforgivable compared to what Hitler, Stalin and Muhammad the Islamic prophet did?

Hi there! So I have been thinking more and more about what it means to be a believer, what I should be focusing on as a believer, what scriptures I should be believing. The more I think about it, the less it has anything to do, with what I want. For a start, I can't know everything that every...

Hi there! So basically, I keep reaching a point where I realise "no, God did not want me to just have faith; if I had: I wouldn't have produced the fruit He wanted" I am sort of the lever between God and the world, but I can't function as the lever, if I have been burned - so God puts me under...

Hi there, Pleasing So I have really nailed what it is that confuses me, when people say "without faith you can't please God" and "you can't achieve salvation by works": their sentiment is respectable, and their earnestness admirable, but there is a problem with the way, in which they give no...

Hi there, Introduction to Madness Imagine if you will, that you have dealt with sin and no longer have need of being tempted; you understand that with perfection comes the temptation to be irrational and you have a ready word, with which to defend yourself (from the Devil's attacks). Then the...

Hi there, Background So what has become apparent to me, after reading the thread "Why are you a Christian?" that we all have a diverse opinion, of Christ and His saving grace. It has also become apparent to me, in part after reading the thread "Would you surrender your own beliefs, for...

Hi there, So there is a simple distinction to make - which I want to explore here, because I want to go beyond the limits of the stated subject - between a legal and a non-legal object: there is opinion, and there is law. An opinion is not a legal object, but may influence the Law; a law is a...

Hi there, So I worked out what it was that makes the anti-Christ the opposite of Christ. He does not merely want to oppose Christ and His resurrection; far from opposing Christ, as one would imagine was death, the anti-Christ resurrects sin. If the anti-Christ resurrects sin, then the danger of...

The study of the nature of God and religious belief. "A theology degree", is based on religious beliefs, traditions & theory Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the divine and, more broadly, of religious belief. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities...

Hi there! So I thought I would post this in the Eschatological forum, because this is where the most contention about what is coming is to be found. I am not trying to present a specific case, for the order of things to come, save that I believe the experience of the Rapture, is supposed to...

Hi there, So, I have had it dawn upon me, that I am stronger, when I search for the Lord. It's just a simple fact. I'm not sure how it works, or why - but I know it works. There is something about Him, that is pure, even in the Holy Spirit. I think it must be that the Holy Spirit is now in Him...
