    "Put a *hole* in my flesh, Holy Spirit, and all that my corruption got me, in Jesus' Name Amen" (holding on to sin?)

    Hi there, So I want to pray by example here, that other people who struggle with the flesh might know the way out, that the Holy Spirit gave. I sinned. That's the short of it. But the problem became that I held on to my sin. My flesh was enlarged, by the pleasure and I ceased to know a way out...

    Could the world have hallucinated that the Christ was here on Earth, and had hope in the resurrection in the end? (suffering?)

    Hi there, So this is not meant as a criticism of the faith; I am not saying the world actually hallucinated Christ. The real benefit of this question, is when it comes to our own faith: how deep is it? do we know the difference between suffering in Heaven and suffering on Earth? For example...

    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...

    I can't tell you how much dealing with a Chromium deficiency has changed my life! (addicted to sugar?)

    Hi there, So I have been taking a Chromium supplement for a couple of years now and my internal integrity is just so much better! It started when I found out that an addiction to sugar, is sometimes caused by a Chromium deficiency. There is some process in the body that responds to a sugar high...

    We are all His Children! The Lord fathers all of us!

    Hi there, The great thing for me, today, is to realise that God is Father to us all. Whether mature or fledgling, strong or weak, God is Father to us all. The childish have a language, that God loves and understands - it is a blessing to have my childish needs understood by God! How do we...

    Were the Apostles, words in the flesh - because the Word in Flesh dwelt in them? (full?)

    Hi there, So just to broaden the horizon of theology a little, let us consider the Apostles. Were the Apostles, words in the flesh - because the Word in the Flesh dwelt in them? This seems to echo the thoughts that "scripture has said 'ye are gods'" and "they will all be taught by God". In...

    Nothing is so important, as that you learn not to resist God's Will (stiff-necked?)

    Hi there, So I had a personal revelation, that I wanted to share. The idea is simple: God's Will is first. How ever you identify, whatever you think you are, you can remain as you were, if you submit to the Will of God. You were not in times past against God, you did not do evil, in principle...

    Please pray for the lovers of God

    Hi there, So I was going to request a different kind of prayer, but the Lord sort of lead me to be a little more selfless. Hence the prayer request for the lovers of God (of which there is at least one). I'm not praying that they all have passion at once, or the strength to hold out for a long...

    Nothing proves there is a God, only that certain things that are among things here are *for* God (peace?)

    Hi there, So basically the best you can prove, is that the overwhelming set of things that know God, are for God. God's proof is a converted life. We don't need to do more than that (believe in God). The Devil will object, that we don't know God like we should or that we are not enough "for"...

    What are people at the end of time like? (you?)

    Hi there, So Jesus talks about "men's hearts failing them, for fear of the things to come" (Gospels, from memory). I hazard that this can be interpreted a step further: at the end of time, men will have lots of problems. By problems I mean mental instability, ill health, doubts...

    I'm sorry I hated you (Church), the cares of this life choked me (forgiving?)

    Hi there, So I will keep it brief, so as not to weary you: my family went through a very trying time, all sorts of things, financially also and I began to rebel against the faith. I didn't know how to keep myself clean and fed my soul with anti-Christian music. It reached the point where I...

    Newbies! You've got to learn to "back yourself" - there are decisions you would never make, if you had the right faith!

    Hi there, So in a few short words, I grew up in a wealthy family, in a wealthy area, going to a wealthy Church. Then the Devil snatched it all away and I made some very poor life choices. Then I came back to the faith and started to pick up the pieces. That's the short of it. But this is what I...

    Where do you place your confidence?

    A short 6 minute video for your consideration.

    It's OK to be stupid, as long as being stupid doesn't put you in the way of the Devil (unaided).

    Hi there, So yes, I have come to the conclusion that I have been tempted to be so smart it is "sin". I have approached being smart from all kinds of angles, been too verbose and have complicated what I mean. All this I have done, in order to be assiduous in my own estimation. The problem is I...

    Pray for the One that lead you to Christ! Don't let sin, evil or the Devil get between you!

    Hi there, So this is just a shout out to all the people who have developed the germ of faith, having been watered by the Lord and given the soil of His Church. You need to pray for the One that lead you to Christ! Say "Lord, thank you for the One that lead me to You, protect and keep them, in...

    Theology is neither here nor there, but have you submitted to God? (poised?)

    Hi there, So it dawned on me recently that what you say is neither here nor there: but what saves! Jesus Himself said "chasing after Me to be the Christ, is nothing to Me" (paraphrase gospels, from memory) that is "when they say 'here is the Christ' or 'the Christ is there', do not go after...

    Jesus is in our midst, on these forums!

    Hi there, Jesus said, "wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I am there in the midst of them" (gospels, from memory). Well, if we are united around this website, Jesus is united with us! I don't know what else to say, this is just so great! Lord willing, Jesus will be in our midst...

    The Devil isn't interested in you overcoming mental health struggles "once and for all" - its a daily struggle you have to take one day at a time

    Hi there, So I have schizophrenia (which means my neurological wiring is limited) and I struggle because the Devil does not respect that I need space. I have fought the Devil many a time and have always believed that if I just inch further to recovery, I will be better off. I have never doubted...

    You use your Heavenly body to work; if you don't work, you fall to Earth - not that falling to Earth doesn't give you rest, but it doesn't empower you

    Hi there, So from the title of this thread, you should already be able to work out that they purpose in Heaven is to empower. The joy you get from serving the Lord, is from serving, and while waiting on the Lord serves, the Lord is not always there. If the Lord is not there, you need to be...

    A lot of God's Will is preventative - "if they build the tower of Babel, there is nothing they won't be able to do" (Gen 11:6)

    Hi there, So there are times when God's prevention is obvious: the people of Noah's day, Sodom and Gomorrah, Achan. But a lot of times God's prevention is a lot more subtle: if you had got on that plane you'd be dead, Joseph fed his family during famine, if you hadn't been schizophrenic you...
