What Are You Afraid Of?

Great question. No, Jesus is my comfort. I can only become negatively overwhelmed in a subject if I cease from focusing on Him. I think that this applies to all of us here.

No, not really no. When we're talking about Heaven that is.

@Rudometkin "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12.2) is an ongoing, wholesome responsibility and challenge.

What Are You Afraid Of?


Hearing this, when I come before the judgement seat:

And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth

Lord, have mercy!

John's First Epistle stresses the 'much assurance' that the believer can have.

Only the unsaved should fear this.

I feel very uneasy around clowns, dolls, and ventriloquist dummies. I'm afraid of heights, snakes, and especially spiders.

Me...

I found this picture online and I told my family that this could have been me and they all agreed.

I like that picture. I use to know a guy that would scream like a girl when he saw a spider.
He almost fell off a high lift trying to get away from one.

I live for all things Star Trek. I'm a Trekkie thru and thru.

Long live the Trekies!

I once went on a canoeing trip down a river with my younger brother. Being inexperienced, we steered our canoe into a low hanging tree. Upon backing out and continuing our journey on the straight and narrow, our boat had filled with spiders from the tree. This is an exaggeration, but there were spiders of every size everywhere.

I stood up and tipped our boat. We went in the water with the spiders, dragged our boat up to shore, discussed what had just happened, laughed, and resumed our journey from there.

Along similar lines, I find God's eternal pre-existense to be mind-blowing.
Around 6K years ago, He made our universe.
What did He do before that?
And before that?
And before that?
And before that?
And before that...?

Do you think that God created time? or perhaps the law of time is His attribute?

It is a mystery.
For us (in this universe), we have

• before,
• during,
• after,
• aging &
• decay (entropy).

He seems to have the first three. Creation (in Genesis 1) shows Him acting sequentially (then resting). So, our time may be a replica of His "time" somehow.

Here is a song that highlights that difference,

Nope, no dolls for me. No, thank you. If I see a doll then I'll turn it around where it's not facing me. I don't like being around them.

All I can think of when I see a doll is Annabelle (or this Annabelle) or Robert. Totally creeps me out. Nope, no dolls for me.

I thought you were a Borg 7 of 9.

I would say that I have no fear of anything really, one just has to adapt or understand what you are dealing with and go from there, but to have a fear of things like dolls Clowns or such come on man.
I can't say that I fear snakes but that does not mean I am going out looking for them, but I have come across many as I ride a dirt bike ridden over many seen many as I rode by, nearly stepped on a red belly black, that made me jump. I do not want to be bitten that's for sure.
I have ridden into that may spiders as I am mainly the squadron leader, sure I punch them when they are on me and have been bitten that many times on the back of the neck, I do not like them, but if I had fear I would not ride out in that scrub would I.
I have had a fear of coming of my bike at times but I have been amazed that I did not come off, I thought here we go this is going to hurt but I dealt with it by not chickening out or giving up but went for it. the thrill !

I was bitten by some small snake on the foot, out camping and when drinking that night I had to stop, because the more I drank the pain in my whole body became too much. Peter had jumped on a big centipede with boots on, drove it into the ground we dug it out and it was fine, don't what them in you sleeping bag. I have walked through river banks with crocodiles with 4 of us holding motorbikes above water on sticks and with a small wooden baseball bat with rope slipped around my wrist, so if the croc comes up I would just have to swat it over it's nose. I just fished that bat out of the back of my car some months ago and the rope through it just totally fell apart.

Vampires I thought they were made up nonsense, but they are real ! just that the movies have bastardised what they truly are.

All of this conspiracy only to make fail what Lord has done, all politics conspiracy are being responsible for blood of prophets since Abel to Zechariah. If American were put propaganda of Communist, so does in my country, all that FALSE FLAG propaganda only to kill the weak and manipulated ? Such a pathetic hypocrites religious elite of Freemason that killed everyone that not submit to worship Mammon.

Matthew 23:35
So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.
