    I feel a little uncertain, calling myself a 'newbie' - but I need help (and once upon a time, I *was* a newbie!)

    Hi there, So there is this dilemma I am in, about my relationship to God. I know relationship is important, but if its important, then how you define it is important too, right? So I have this understanding, in my head, that I have my side to the relationship I have with God, and God has His...

    True repentance, leads to godly sorrow (selah)

    Hi there! So I wanted to discuss the Cross for a moment. You know that Jesus said "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death" (Matthew 26:38)? Think for a moment with me, why did Jesus say that? It is because our Cross is a burden. In other words, if you are taking up your Cross, you will...

    Jesus doesn't just become 'sin', He puts sin out of reach (selah)

    Hi there, So this is something that will certainly enhance your understanding of the Cross, if not sin and temptation. What I want you to do is look at the Cross. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 "He who knew no sin, became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God". Now...

    The Rapture is a conviction that the Holy Spirit, has overcome sin, evil and oppression - that imparts the Word of God within to do something similar

    Hi there, So I am just teasing out what the Rapture means. The idea in theology is that the Rapture is an event, that separates those that have it from those that don't. There is some truth to this. But what is actually happening? My understanding is that the Rapture is the birthing of a...

    He was made sin for us, yes, but how hard will it be: for Him to return to being without sin? (sinning?)

    Hi there, So I had a simple thought: how hard will it be, for Jesus to return to being without sin? The concept is, becoming sin went in one direction - toward God - whereas returning to being without sin, goes beyond God. Jesus does not want us to stay where we are; one day we will have to...

    The Great White Throne is within you (look inside?)

    Hi there, So I just did a simple mental trick, I asked myself "where is the Great White Throne, relative to where I am on Earth now?" and I looked, and I realised that it was within me! We are not doing the things that will get God praise, because we are selfish; we are doing these things...

    "My strength is made perfect in weakness" but there are different kinds of weakness? (strong?)

    Hi there, So I am writing this for my own sake, if nothing else - I need to understand the Lord's strength. My understanding is that the Lord is strong, and there is no other. But He said "My Strength is made perfect in weakness", so there is a relationship to weakness that needs to be...

    God never calls something "finished", while people are still suffering (suffering much?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple lesson, that can make it easier to relate to God and the trials of this life. The lesson is this: God does not call something "finished" while people are still suffering. Now, this probably pricks your ears up, because Jesus said "it is finished" on the cross - my...

    Don't replace a plank, with a greater plank! (plank?)

    Hi there, So I just had this really simple thought and for my own sake if no-one else's, I thought would just meditate on it for a moment. The thought is this: Jesus said "don't try to take the speck out of your brother's eye, when look! A plank is in your own eye" (Gospels, from memory); now...

    Learning how the new body works (exercising?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to share a simple thought: learning how the new body works, is a "thing". As a "thing" we can either do it well, or not. What governs how well we do it, is how well we develop in relation to our "new" faith, on Earth. If we neglect faith on Earth, how will we be...

    Jesus had the Greatest Will to Live, of any one (One?)

    Hi there, So just to give you something, that will help you relate to Christ: Jesus was the One with the greatest will to live, compared to any Man. It was through this will to live, that He learned to heal and deliver. There was mastery in this, in the end, for He lived so effectively for God...

    Praise God, Israel was strong enough, for Christ to be revealed (you have strength too?)

    Hi there, I just wanted to point something very special: Jesus might never have come to Earth, if there was no nation on Earth strong enough for Him to be revealed in them. If Israel was weak and did not revere God in strength, there might have been no way for the Lord to come. This is not to...

    "I really believe (that), they really believe it" - what is the sense of watching 'drama'? (emulating?)

    Hi there, So I have struggled for a long time, with the mystery of television. It has always seemed to me very strange, that people acting in a scene are thought to be doing it best, when they believe it themselves. It is a mystery is it not? Ought we not think 'oh! that's how they wanted to...

    I knew the person who started 'ghosting' (speaking as though you have the voice of another person) - it fulfilled the words of Jesus

    Hi there, I am a little vague on what the meaning of "revelation" is (in the context of a forum). But since no one else has posted, I thought I might offer something. I knew the person who started "ghosting" (speaking as though you have the voice of another person). "Ghosting" was a response...

    They're running out of pressure, their mutations are getting worse, the Devil won't relent - who but God is there for the Evolutionists? (scared?)

    Hi there, So there are three elements in the thread title: running out of pressure, losing control of mutations, and struggling with the Devil. The issue of running out of pressure, is the hardest one - you have to take stock of all that mankind has been able to do, and weigh that against the...

    If everything was used properly, would there be any suffering? (because?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple concept you can grasp, when it comes to suffering, which points out what the power of suffering is: In other words, it's not the fire that is the problem, but the combination of the creation of fire, with the vulnerability of the flesh. But this leads to a further...

    Jesus said "you will give account of every idle word, in the day of Judgment" - sometimes all you can do is question what you've said (questioning?)

    Hi there, Ok, so I had a personal experience where I said something - if you can call it me speaking (I didn't know what I was saying) - and it gave the Devil the upper hand in my life. I tried for years to get rid of him, put him and what I had said out of my mind, and it didn't work (not...

    To enjoy Grace in Heaven, you have to love the work (selah)

    Hi there, So you would have to have been deaf to the world, not to have heard the phrase "we are saved by Grace, not of works" among Christian circles. However, I want to challenge that. For a long time, I have believed that "a mature Christian, makes work a priority", which is not to say that...

    The weight of sin, breaks the flesh apart! (breaking?)

    Hi there, So I am in a struggle at the moment: I've started to realise all the lovers in my life (from porn, to real life) need to be pointed to God. Confessing the sin, freed me, but then I started to notice something else: my flesh began splitting open! It's not an external thing, yet, but...

    The internet hates you, baby! (looking for Christians?)

    Hi there, So I have been having this battle with the internet for a little while now. It started when I was asking about someone with dementia being prayed for and the internet threw up ads for a cure for dementia. Later it was hermit crabs, when my Mother bought some hermit crabs. All kinds of...
