    Theology ........FYI

    The study of the nature of God and religious belief. "A theology degree", is based on religious beliefs, traditions & theory Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the divine and, more broadly, of religious belief. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities...

    Suffering unites awareness (around an important focus), but suffering with tolerance, unites the heart with God (selah)

    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...

    It slowly dawns on Mankind, that the flesh profits nothing, and more than that: the place (in Heaven) for the flesh cannot retain it (expectations?)

    Hi there, So I write these things, as much for my own clarity, as anything else. This time, I am addressing the expectations that Mankind has of the Lord. What are these expectations? Well, they are basically that the flesh of Mankind keep living. In other words, not only do men not want to...

    The Devil is against a vow of chastity, how much confusion then, when his young are not the stronger for it?

    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...

    ...which means that others (of the faith) copy you, in the end...

    Hi there, So for those of you who diligently parse the Word of God and respond with what is wise, have hope! The Lord will not allow people of other doctrines to rule over you! If you have been down-pressed debating things online and you know you have been in the will of the Holy Spirit, but it...

    A lot of our mental health struggles, are just down to nutrition - Chromium for addiction, Niacin for recovery

    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...

    I can't tell you something, because it is still going to be fulfilled and if you thought you could do it in your own strength, we would fail

    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...

    The Rapture, is standing closer and closer, to the truth (true?)

    Hi there, So I worked out something about the end and it still came to an end. But then I discovered something about the Rapture, at the end, and I kept coming closer. When I found out something about the end, I realised that I would not immediately come to the end - as Jesus said "the end does...

    God doesn't just want child-like faith, God doesn't just want mature faith - God wants both! (understanding?)

    Hi there, So there are two verses where Jesus talks about the faith necessary to enter Heaven. The first is "unless you have faith as a little child, you shall by no means enter Heaven". Now you might be thinking 'how on Earth, can I be child-like in my faith?', and you would be right, in the...

    As blood separated from water (at the Cross), so the Holy Spirit will be separated from anti-Christ (at the end of the world) - (ready?)

    Hi there, So there is a very difficult thing, at the Cross: seeing the Cross as a prophecy, of the power of the Holy Spirit to come. But in a sense, all things are prophetic, of things like them to come. The point is, that we clearly see a separation, between blood and water - in Christ, on the...

    Praising God, for the unknown! How great is He?

    Hi there, So I have come to realise that my vulnerability is my greatest asset, in Christ. He finds leading me easiest and lightest, when there is nothing in me to resist Him. He even knows, that I am giving Him space - and is greatly comforted, that I want to stay that way to the end. And...

    If God were not God, God would be arrogant. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is as much about Witnessing, as anything else. It's about the nature of our relationship with God, but also who God is. By providing something that you can test, it will give you an answer to the doubts you have. Not everyone doubts, but some certainly do. I, for myself, have...

    Our sin is crucified (in Christ); our place in Heaven is enlarged (selah)

    Hi there, So there are two specific things, that are an encouragement to us, while we dwell on Earth. These two things, the Holy Spirit gives, as consolation to us, for having faith in the Christ and His Resurrection. The first is simple: we simply do not enjoy sin, any more. Our sin is, as it...

    Not requiring confession and just offering luck as an alternative, men of the world will just choose 'luck' and not confess. Meaning?

    Hi there, So this is a thorny problem for me. I have known for some time that Ray Comfort preaches that the sinner needs to be convicted of the Law, before they are offered Salvation. That approach seemed fine to me, for some time, but I never really felt great about approaching people about...

    Truth needs truth, that's the truth. (thoughts?)

    Hi there, So there is an absolute gem of a truth, in the Bible. Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by Me" (from memory, John). The reason that this truth is a gem, is that it hits on the notion of relationship, in a way that no other words do. You...

    You have to start reading scripture, as giving emotional integrity - in teachings & memories: that is what the Holy Spirit brought (learning?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to point out a paradigm shift, from thinking about scripture, to retaining it - in your learning and memory. The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit will come to teach us all things and bring all things that Jesus said to remembrance. If the Holy Spirit comes to teach...

    Made in the image of God; but made *for* the image of Christ. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is just a simple distinction. On the one hand we are created by God. That is true. Indeed we are made in the image of God. Also true. But once created, there is a greater difference to look forward to: being made for the image of Christ. What does that mean? It means that our...

    The anti-Christ will be beguiled, by the Devil's guilt: that he (the Devil) has no further accusation, for those who take the mark - it can't be true!

    Hi there, So just to be clear, there is almost no time left. The world awaits the coming of the anti-Christ. The Devil is ready to feign worship of the anti-Christ. But there is a problem: no matter how much the Devil worships the anti-Christ, there is no way for him (the Devil) to stop...

    The end is to see Jesus, and not waver from what seeing Him asks of you (selah)

    Hi there! So this is something that is going to be more and more popular over time: to see Jesus. As our differences are realised for what they are and how we are relating to God based on them, the need to commit to what we think Jesus means, will grow evert stronger too. It won't be a matter...

    Peace has entered the World; the World has yielded to the Lord's help!

    Hi there, So the World's mourning has finally borne some fruit: Peace has come upon the World, because the World is finally able to yield to the Lord's help. This is in most part because, the Lord has not condemned their "Evolution" but has forborne with them, that the strength of it be known...
