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...

Hi there, So I will just declare it straight out, in my nation, I am considered poor. Now what that means, in my nation, is not that I don't have luxury, but that I don't have the same type of luxury as others. I know, crazy, right? The thing is, I have been facing this issue (of being poor)...

Ok, So there is a little more to the picture, that is unfolding before us, as we head in to the time of Jacob's trouble: typically, we focus on the Rapture and put off thinking about the Tribulation - that's only natural. We can be calm and spirited about the Rapture; spirited and calm about...

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, 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 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 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...

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 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 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...

Hi there, So yes, the heart of the snare, people fall into when it comes to the anti-Christ, is that the anti-Christ aggrandizes the demand of the World - not that the World be a greater "World", but that the World be more greatly "the same". In other words, the World wants to refuse the...

Hi there, So I think one of the things that confuses a lot of people, in this life, is the idea that they are ruled by a "God" that asserts Himself, to the exclusion of everyone else. This could not be further from the truth. The reality is, that God applies a standard, to everyone, including...

Hi there, So, just to throw in a hard ball, there is a way to envisage the beginning, that makes sense of what we now come to believe is the "moment" (the moment we are in). It's not so much a claim about Heaven on its own or Earth on its own (as they are in Genesis), as it is a claim about...

Hi there, So this is not so much a look at what we suffer, so much as what that suffering becomes, when we work with it. On its own, suffering has a utility, that should not be ignored: it makes us "aware". If we didn't suffer, we would never have awareness of what is causing the suffering and...

Hi there, So you may be aware of the idea of a vow of chastity. It's a vow, that you will not endorse the flesh, in a relationship with another. It's like saying you won't "pevert" a relationship with someone else, but it is stronger. The vow is that you will not endorse the flesh at all, even...

Hi there, So, after a lengthy battle in the spirit, to overcome the nonsense of the world, I have come to the faith again and perceive a strength that we should be developing as a body: theological strength. Theological strength, is the idea that you not only have the testimony of Christ, you...

Hi there, So this is something really easy and strengthening to focus, in your walk with Christ: the time will come when your previous desire to sin (hate, lie, distrust for example), clashes with your (Christian) desire to die on your Cross. As Jesus said "Father not my will but Yours be...

Hi there, So speaking from personal experience here, my personal struggle with mental health has had a lot to do with a Chromium deficiency. Chromium deficiency gives you an addiction to sugar, which in turn can make you diabetic. This addiction to sugar, can be hijacked by a mental health...

Hi there, So I was going to promote something, that I thought was scripturally true, but the Holy Spirit interceded and warned me that I should not make it known. He said that if I made it known, that people would think they could do it in their own strength, and we would altogether fail. Not...
