    Introverts in the church

    I am like you and it's upsetting that some people want to make you "after their own image". Those people who like mingling don't understand why we don't want to. It's a personality difference. But they don't get that and make it into a spiritual issue. It's because of the lack of...

    meditation on the Christ Consciousness

    Our beliefs are INTERPRETATION of the Bible, which does not necessarily matches up with what the author meant. And so then why get angry over the opposition to your position on something when both of you just have your own interpretations? Everyone has a right to their own interpretation...

    meditation on the Christ Consciousness

    So I guess you then believe that God chooses whom he wants to for salvation. Why then do we blame the sinners for not choosing God when it's up to him to make someone choose him or not. It sounds pretty cruel to me (if I was the person whom God did not choose to turn to God)

    Does grace mean failing?

    Grace means we forgive ourselves when we fail just as God forgives us. We are happy and feel loved by God even if we fail. And it is impossible to become perfect. Like Paul said: if it was possible, then Jesus Christ would not need to come. Then we could be saved based on our righteousness...

    Freed from the law? You bet we are!

    God knew that we would always break the law, no matter how hard we tried to obey. That's why He sent Jesus: He knew that we would keep sinning and he had to find a way to cleanse us from our sins (which He knew we would keep doing). James said: we always sin Paul said: I do the bad that I...

    Freed from the law? You bet we are!

    When there is talk of abolishing the law, it simply means that we are NOT JUDGED by it anymore. It doesn't mean that it became useless or bad. But simply that it's not our master, we are not accountable to it anymore. The law dictates: you sin, you die. But we don't belong to this court...

    Similarities between Christian beliefs and Laws of Attraction

    I thought it was interesting how there were parallels in these: Christianity God answers prayers The Laws of Attraction The Universe responds to requests Christianity Mat 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you...

    the timing of the end times in the Bible

    1Co 7:26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 1Co 7:27 Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 1Co 7:29 What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live...

    the timing of the end times in the Bible

    This idea just came to me. Why in the world do people believe that the end times will occur soon? I mean the Bible doesn't say WHEN. Even Paul and Peter believed that the end times would happen in their days, 2000 years ago. So Paul and Peter didn't believe in the 7 day/7000 yrs time frame...

    Does God understand WHY we do what we do?

    God knows your motives and why you do things even better than you do. You probably don't even know why you do certain things. But He does. I will be honest with you: reading the Bible was also boring to me for many years. I had to force myself. I mean it's the rules and regulations, who...

    How do i love God with all my heart, soul, mind?

    It just means: he would fill your entire life: your actions, your thoughts. It would be about HIM all the time. He would be your life, your goals. You would be longing for Him. Kind of like when you totally are into somebody: you think of them, you want them, you want to be with them. It's...

    Does God understand WHY we do what we do?

    I think she meant that if a person seems good sometimes (like donating lots of money for charity for example), it could be that he is not doing it out of the goodness of his heart, not to help others, but out of helping himself with tax problems (for example). So such a person would seem...

    Does God understand WHY we do what we do?

    Of course God knows. If even people can sometimes figure that out (the reasons behind the why), how can God now know? Joh 2:25 There was no need for anyone to tell him about them, because he himself knew what was in their hearts. When two people came to pray to the temple (tax collector...

    Physical sensation: the Holy Spirit?

    I don't think the above applies to all situations. But only to some. Here is something that applies to some other group of people: Guilt comes to people usually when they experience something they were taught was bad somehow. If they were not trained that it was bad, they would not feel the...

    Sexy hot looking male singers?

    Hi, I am in the mood to watch some nice looking male singers sing. Does anybody know of any that they could recommend? A male band would be ok too (there might be a least someone there that would be nice to look at) I would really appreciate the recommendations. Singers really get to me...

    Doubts about my salvation

    The reality is such that ALL people sin even after coming to Christ. I think that's why the gospel said that Jesus needed to die for us, in order to give us salvation AS A GIFT since we cannot stop sinning. Even Paul himself had the problem of continuing to sin. Read Romans 7. He said: Rom...

    Am I...lost?

    Love is developed. Like in any relationship. Think about God/Jesus. Try to see what you like about him. If you observe a relationship and being in love, you will see that both parties constantly think about each other and that's what's making them fall in love more and more. Once they...

    Suspicion

    I just wanted to express one thought. The way to keep the faith strong is to feed the belief by feeding it the information that AGREES with the belief. Hence the Bible verse: Faith comes from hearing. The more you hear on the subject of your belief, confirming to you that what you believe is...

    Cant seem to figure it out

    Yes, keep praying, keep studying and reading stuff and wait. But be open to opportunities. They might not be what you expected. Be open minded and responsive. Listen to your heart. Whenever you feel something (like you want to do this or that) just follow that desire and do it. I've noticed...

    Son sleeping with girlfriend

    Sleeping together or not sleeping is just a symptom. It's not a cause. So if your son's heart is not right with God, BUT he stopped sleeping together with the girl, what good will it do him? None whatsoever. It's like taking medicine for a cold. The medicine does not heal the cold...
