    Just a word of advice: schizophrenia is much more manageable, if you aim less at change and more at consistency

    Hi there, So yes, I have schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a capitulation of the nervous system, to a state more progressed than is normal. In other words, while most people believe ABC, the schizophrenic believes BCD. This is not a mistake, but a way of utilizing the adaptability of the brain...

    You regret that you sinned, now get angry; you identify that learning from your sin was bad teaching, now get bitter (selah)

    Hi there, So something that has helped me tremendously in my walk with Christ, has been identifying where I need to do an about face. An about face is where you acknowledge that you have been heading in the wrong direction (down the wide road to destruction), and you hold still and turn around...

    Jesus was newer, at the resurrection, but newer again was promised (selah)

    Hi there, So there is just a question of parity, that I have come across, in my study of the Word. That when we believe, we do not immediately grasp the power, of the Word of God, that is coming to Jesus. Jesus is receiving power on Earth, and all the more power in Heaven, in as much as Hell...

    Don't fall into the trap, of thinking your faith is solely your doing - it is your doing in part, but praise God daily

    Hi there, So something that will vex you until you have understood, it is important not to claim that your faith is your doing. Jesus said "You did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John, from memory). What He meant by this, is that the Father Himself has forgiven you, now you must accept what...

    Re: overcoming the carnal world

    Hi there, So I have come to the point, where I have control of my desire, again. I had a relationship with someone in the world, and was lured to disregard my crown (which the Lord gave me). The person I was with, wanted to make it (the crown) something I did not respect. But I learned through...

    Eden was established, by a pattern of Creation and Destruction. Thoughts?

    Hi there, So I have arrived at the idea, that God established Eden as He said, Creating and Calling "Good", then allowing Change and Restarting. What I wanted to point out, is that this is a pattern. It is a pattern on the basis of the idea, that God kept moving through the Creation of Days...

    Assuming "Others are right, for their own reasons" is a blessed moral stance. Discuss.

    Hi there, So in addition to what I call the Silver Line that as a rule "partially right, most of the time" is moral, the Diamond Point, is that assuming "Others are right, for their own reasons" is a blessed moral stance. The effectiveness of it, comes down to interpreting good and bad, from...

    The Holy Spirit can cover you, extend your righteousness, limit judgment of you.

    Hi there! So I have been growing in faith, as I continue to commit to the good life, for God's sake and I have learnt to interpret the work of the Holy Spirit as strength, understanding and meaning (all of which I want to share). The lessons I have learned are very important, because they add...

    When the Devil doesn't know, which way you'll go: you become the first enemy (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is a simple bit of wisdom, that I just want to tease apart a little, and see what it means: The Lord struggled with this, always telling people not to talk about Him, asking His Disciples to wait for His resurrection before they told people about what they had seen (from...

    Don't just crucify your sin, crucify your faith!

    Hi there, So yes I have been dwelling on how to increase my faith, what to believe, how to believe it: what I have come up with, is that taking up the cross, is about more than just sin and the confession of it. What I have come up with, is that faith itself, needs to face the cross. Jesus went...

    The Devil will be tempted, with the mark (of the anti-Christ) - but if we resist him, he will not receive it

    Hi there, So this is just a short message about the power of resisting the Devil: though he is tempted with the mark (of the anti-Christ), yet if we resist him (to the end) he will not take it. This is why it is important that those who are chosen, take a stand against the mark (of the...

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown...

    Is it possible that we ask God, for dreams that help save the lives of people we meet?

    Hi there, So I am a strong believer in the idea that God can give dreams to people. In faith, what I would like to ask, is that God give dreams that help save the lives of people we meet - and by faith I mean, that even the dreams of others could have the power to save. The idea is that you a)...

    If Philosophy gave an a priori roadmap, to scientific discovery: would Science heed it?

    Hi there, So it has dawned on me, that maybe there is something that Philosophy has to offer "Science". Science defines a method of falsifiability (according to Karl Popper), whereby hypothesis are entertained, tested and verified. The point I would make, is that if you know what manner of...

    As a rule, "partially right, most of the time" is moral.

    Hi there, So I wanted to present a model for morality that is different from utilitarianism and deontology. That model is simply: Gottservant said: Essentially, it builds on an experience of trying to be moral. It does not need specific instructions or specific consequences, but adapts...

    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 4

    We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students. We were discussing their belief in The Trinity, first with respects to The Father and presently with regards to The Son. We continue. They continue: “John, the disciple, says, “In the beginning was...

    Spirit's Work BEFORE Faith

    Here is a simple question: Do we need the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts before we have faith? I would say yes, absolutely. This is where my belief comes from. There are a few questions that need looked at from Scriptures before we can make a Biblical determination: 1.) How bad is man...

    The Spirit of God, Part 3

    Let us now take a look at 1 Cor 2:9-14 Verse 9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man (the natural man), the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” Verse 10 “But God hath revealed [them] to us (The New Creation) by his Spirit; for the...
