    Please pray for Australia (even a short prayer?)

    Hi there, So we have Australia, right? And we all like to think of ourselves as "mates", we don't like someone sticking their head up above the rest, we work hard professionally with the time we have left. But we are under foreign rule! All our decisions are made, as if being dispossessed is...

    Is making Christianity in your own image, a sin? (theologically?)

    Hi there, So there is a mystery, right? That the Church is Christ's Bride and we are His Body? How then should we define our Christianity? The truth is we should do it, according to God's Gospel. But there is a lot in God's Gospel, because it includes the Bible (and the Bible includes a lot)...

    Soul dies for soul, that's the soul (selah)

    Hi there, So this is a simple proverb, its not meant to be complicated. The question of which soul dies for which, does complicate it - but only in the sense that the soul can die for soul other than itself. For example the soul can die for the soul of a friend. The soul is still the soul, but...

    God shortens the Days, but He prolongs the Moment (need time?)

    Hi there, So this is actually a very simple thing, that is reflected in John 1:1. John 1:1 says "in the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God". What's happening here, from God's perspective? What is happening is that time is slowing down: the word is introduced...

    If you keep the faith, throughout life - you will have a chance to restore, that which sin would have destroyed (had you not believed) (expecting?)

    Hi there, So post coming to the realisation that even having fallen away from the faith, I still had an opportunity to get a second wind (renewed faith), I started to wonder what it would have been like, if I had never fallen away. What I learned from the Holy Spirit, was that even if I had not...

    Don't just trust this or that scripture, trust the Word *itself* (holy?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple revelation, about the Word of God. Yes, we can trust this or that scripture - "What I say to you I say to everyone: Watch!" or "You shall be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect" - that's all well and good. Indeed the Devil will flee even if you resist him...

    The Devil doesn't believe the Rapture is coming; the Devil is counting on the Tribulation causing Men to fear (still not praying?)

    Hi there, So just to bring you up to speed a little more: the role of the Devil, in relation to the Rapture and the Tribulation, is quite relevant. The Bible tells us that the Devil is the accuser of the Brethren (letters, from memory). What does he accuse the Brethren of? For one thing...

    The Devil gets around the Law, by provoking God to do more than necessary (provoked?)

    Hi there, So this was something of a mystery until now: the Devil gets around the Law, by provoking God to do more than necessary. It is not that the Devil has no purpose and is ready to lose - he is personally aware that God desires only to humble Himself, that everything that God creates, is...

    I was trying to concentrate and myna birds were making it impossible, but God stepped in to defend me!

    Hi there, So this is just a simple praise: I was concentrating on receiving calls (volunteering work) and I was getting distracted by myna birds (if you know them, they are quite the pest - constant almost monotone noise). I got to the point where I couldn't concentrate at all and started to...

    Death is wise, in the eyes of the Law (prudent?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple proverb to learn, when it comes to death and the Law: What does this mean? It means that when you do wrong, there is a standard - of the difference between life and death - that ought to be heeded. For when you weigh the Law, it ought to be done with compassion...

    What was the gift you received, when you first believed? (mine was 'steadfastness'?)

    Hi there, So just to help you in your walk with Christ, a simple question: what was the spiritual gift you received, when you first believed? If you need to, pray to the Holy Spirit, that He reveal it - that way, you will have it between you and Him! It is bearing fruit with this gift, that...

    All life is sanctific; and our sanctity is made strong in God's sanctity (holy?)

    Hi there, So I have coined the idea that "all life is sanctific" (sacrosanct, holy) meaning all life has value that is intrinsic to being alive. It is our sanctity that establishes our soul and our soul that feeds on our sanctity. Jesus was the most sanctified of any of us, and He imparted His...

    What prophecy do you hold, that you would be prepared to die for? (many?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to get a feel for your faith, out there: there should be some kind of prophecy, that you would hold greater than all the others - it gives an example of what kind of strength God has given you, right? Like is the whole hot/cold thing when it comes to Churches, going...

    You're going to be there, thankyou sincerely (peace?)

    Hi there! So it has dawned on me that, the tribulation I face, will not be forever. Rather, it will be for a time. What is significant about that (time) is that, it does not apply to everyone. From this, it has been revealed to me, that there are some believers with me, who will outlive me. I...

    The Church is under attack, from greater and greater fools (this is a pattern of things to come?)

    Hi there! Well, I'm afraid I have some bad news: fools are here to stay. In the beginning there were very few fools, because God did greater and greater things, as Witness of His Creative Glory. But in the end, there will be a great number of fools, that look very much like gods but being...

    In Creation, you love Jesus; in Evolution, what do you love? (evolve 'love'? thoughts?)

    Hi there, So in Creation you love Jesus - the Christ. What do you love in Evolution? Darwin? Jesus said "go the extra mile"; Darwin said? If you love Jesus, you go the extra mile and you remember that He suggested it (and can be humble); if you love Darwin and he doesn't ask you to do...

    Don't punish the Devil, until he knows what he's done wrong, who he's done wrong to and where those following him are going to end up wrong (patient?)

    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...

    You may not ever get spiritual continuity, unless you put the Holy Spirit first, at the end of your life (selah)

    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...

    Am I crazy, or is advertising targeted in ways that I'm not even aware I am asking for? (really?)

    Hi there, So this is just a short thread OP: I am concerned about advertising. It always seems to be exactly what I am interested in. I don't even type this stuff in, like "I like plant protein" and yet here it is: 'would you like plant protein?' and I am interested in plant protein! I am...

    Hope for backsliders! Your faith can get a second wind! (charging?)

    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...
