The one true God is the creator of all things, visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16).

Do not make an image representing the true God to bow down to it (Exodus 20:4-5).

Neco was a gentile. By God, he tried to dissuade Josiah from fighting him.

21 But he sent envoys to him, saying, “What have we to do with each other, king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war. And God has commanded me to hurry. Cease opposing God, who is with me,

i.e., elohim

lest he destroy you.” 22 Nevertheless, Josiah did not turn away from him, but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but came to fight in the plain of Megiddo.

A good king of Judah fought against a gentile king. God was with the gentile king. Josiah died as a result.

I am not even sure that Neco knew the name YWHW. Yet, it seems that the true God was with him.

Do Buddhists, Muslims, and Christians worship the same God? Do Christians worship the same God?

Most Christians seem to worship the same God, the creator God, with no idols/images. Buddhists and Christians worship different gods because of their heavy use of idols. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam worship more or less the same God: creator God and no idols. I spent four years working in Saudi Arabia. The longer I stayed there, the more I felt that they were worshiping the God of Abraham. I had joined their worship in their mosques. 1 Tim 2:

4 [God] wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.

What happens to believers who stop going to church? Do they go to hell or are there consequences?

Today's date 19/08/2024 (Australian Date Order) has an 888 pattern and is the day of a full moon.
19 - 8th prime number
08 - 8th number
2024 - digits add to the number 8

Hence the date has an 888 pattern and 888 represents Jesus in Greek language. Today is also the day/night of the largest full moon of the year. I am investigating on whether this full moon could be considered as #TheJesusMoon that represents a turning point in the church in the world.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign is offering an array of pronoun options for job applicants on its website. The move has sparked various responses across social media platforms, with some users critiquing the focus on pronouns rather than policy substance.

Applicants to the Harris campaign can choose from traditional pronouns such as "he/him" and "she/her." But they can also choose or from a selection of other choices including "they/them," "xe/xem," "ze/hir," "ey/em" and "hir/hir," according to job postings on her campaign website.

The list also includes "hu/hu," a gender-neutral preference to be identified by one's humanity rather than gender. According to Emory University, "hu" is closest to two other genderless, singular pronouns "you" and "who."

The Democratic Party released its official platform on Sunday night, to be voted on at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois — and it calls for reelecting President Joe Biden, who was still the candidate at the time the document was finalized in mid-July.

“President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job,” it says.



Go Joe!

While a number of stories, both at home and abroad, have taken their turn leading headlines, one of the more important and potentially troubling trends in recent months has been the continued downturn of China’s economy. I call it troubling less for what it means for the world economically—which is where much of the attention has focused—than for what it could mean for the world politically and militarily.

You see, China’s designs on becoming the world’s leading superpower, taking back Taiwan, and seeing their global influence spread while the West’s declines have not changed. To this point, however, those plans had the benefit of patience. Given the level of control President Xi exerts over the nation, they have had the freedom to choose their spots and wait for the best opportunities to act. Yet, as their economy continues to slide and the day-to-day lives of their people become increasingly difficult, that margin will begin to fade.

And, ultimately, a China that has to act could end up being a far greater threat than a China that believes time is on its side.

To that end, let’s examine why their economy has struggled and what those struggles could mean for China and the larger world.

It’s troubling to consider all the things that the Democrats and media have done since 2011 in their narrative against Donald Trump. Not just because it’s wrong and hurtful to him, but because it has been so divisive and damaging to the country. All the lies and the hoaxes, from Russia collusion on down.

They're continuing to lie even now. Joe Biden lied about his reason for running being the “fine people” hoax about Charlottesville, and he's kept up that lie. Now Kamala Harris has continued that disinformation, as well as other deceits like the bleach and "bloodbath" lies, without regard to the truth. That's how desperate they are at this point to do anything they can to try to get Trump.

With all that kind of attitude going on in 2024, it’s hard to remember back to a time when the cult attack narrative wasn’t going full blast. So it was quite something this week to see Joe Rogan playing a flashback to Trump's appearance on "The View" when he was considering running for president back in 2011. Now the ladies of "The View" are such virulent anti-Trump harpies, but it’s fascinating to see them before the dictate of the cult, when they still had Barbara Walters and still made actual news and not just propaganda for the Democratic Party. How they greet Trump is pretty stunning, as Rogan notes, "It's bonkers!"

Listen as Walters introduces "my friend, Donald Trump!" to the cheers of the audience.

The Scriptures do not address this topic specifically, that I am aware of, but they do give us some guidelines to go by which I believe are related to whether or not we should choose to vote in public political elections. But every one of us has to make that decision for ourselves after we have prayed about it and have sought the Lord and examined the Scriptures to see whether or not God would be honored by us choosing to vote.

The first thing that comes to mind comes from the Old Testament where the people were crying out for a king. In 1 Samuel 8:6-9 ESV we read:


From that I get the message that we are not to desire human kings to rule over us as though we need a human king (president, government official), and that God is not enough. And all throughout the Scriptures we are warned against putting our trust and our confidence in other humans, and against turning to other humans or nations to save us from what ails us rather than us trusting in God alone to save us and our nations and the people in our nations from what ails them, which is sin, in reality.

We are not to put our “trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.” “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” “They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval.” “Where is your king, that he may save you? Where are your rulers in all your towns, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?” Our faith is not to rest “on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.” And we are warned against being taken captive by the trickery of men, by craftiness and deceit.

See: [Psalms 118:9; Psalms 146:3; Psalms 147:10-11; Isaiah 40:23; Jeremiah 17:5-6; Hosea 8:4; Hosea 13:10; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 1 Corinthians 7:23; Ephesians 4:14-16; 2 Peter 3:17-18]

And here we have Jesus’ words in response to Pilate when he asked Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” (John 18:36 ESV) And we are to live our lives in Christ Jesus as though we are part of his kingdom doing his kingdom work believing him to rescue us from the evils of our societies.

And the work that we are to be doing and that we are to be fighting for, in defense of, is in the spreading of the gospel of our salvation to the people of this world, for only through more and more people believing in Jesus and walking in obedience to his commands will the evils of our societies begin to diminish. For only Jesus Christ can deliver us human beings from our sinful addictions and hate and violence and wickedness and all sorts of evils which plague the world that we live in. Only Jesus Christ can save our nations.

So, what should we be fighting for? For the truth of the gospel. And what message should we be spreading to the people of the world, especially on the internet? The truth of the gospel. For we are called of God to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth in preserving and in sharing the truth of the gospel of Christ. And we are all to be those who are proclaiming the excellencies of God who called us out of spiritual darkness (sin) into the light of his truth and righteousness to holy living in obedience to him.

[Matt 5:13-16; Matt 28:18-20; Jn 4:31-38; Jn 13:13-17; Jn 14:12; Acts 1:8; Acts 26:18; Rom 10:14-15; Eph 5:11-14; 1 Pet 2:9,21; 1 John 2:6; Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; Jn 10:27-30; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14]


I see so many Christians posting all sorts of political stuff on social media where they are for one political candidate and against another, and so they promote the candidate they like while they will sometimes then put down the other candidate, based upon whatever information they are being fed by their respective political parties and via the news media. But I don’t see many of them promoting Jesus Christ as the only solution to what ails us as a people in this world, and not many are sharing the gospel message.

And I believe that is really where things begin to go the wrong direction, when we are looking to human beings to be our “saviors” from what ails us, and when we are busy promoting men (or women) to come to our rescue, but when we are lacking in doing the work that God has called us to do in being his ministers and in taking the full message of the gospel to the people of the world so that they can be delivered from their sins and now live godly and holy lives in walks of obedience to our Lord and to his commands.

So the problem really comes into being when we get our priorities all out of order and when we are looking to humans to save us from what ails us as the people of this world instead of us looking to the Lord to be our KING and our only SAVIOR.

My Sheep

An Original Work / June 24, 2012
Based off John 10:1-30 NIV

My sheep hear me. They know me.
They listen to my voice and obey.
I call them and lead them.
They know my voice, so they follow me.
They will never follow strangers.
They will run away from them.
The voice of a stranger they know not;
They do not follow him.

So, I tell you the truth that
I am the gate, so you enter in.
Whoever does enter
Will find forgiveness and will be saved.
Nonetheless whoever enters
Not by the gate; other way,
He is the thief and a robber.
Listen not, the sheep to him.

Oh, I am the Good Shepherd,
Who laid his own life down for the sheep.
I know them. They know me.
They will live with me eternally.
The thief only comes to steal and
Kill and to destroy the church.
I have come to give you life that
You may have it to the full…

They know my voice, so they follow me.

I’ve noticed lately that the more I’m on the internet, the worse my mental health gets. I’ve tried to stop my screen addiction a few times but always end up getting back on instagram or YouTube shorts often without even thinking about it out of boredom. Is there a good way for me to stop being so addicted to social media? Should I just go cold turkey or replace it with something else? Or is there any other strategy I can use to stop getting so hooked on it?

Note: For the original OP, please see Alex's response. Re-doing the OP here with what I hope will be the entire vid as intended.

Nothing more to say other than to encourage us all to pray for the enemies of God, as the real foe is the spiritual forces inspiring them! God bless!

I'm currently trying to incorporate God into some different aspects of my life. Nowadays, I spend more time on YouTube than anything else, and I'm curious if anyone here has any favorite Christian youtubers or content creators? I like Coryxkenshin, Christ Genesis, and SS Saved By Jesus. Thanks!

Hello, I'm from Brazil, I'm still learning English, so I'll use Google Translate. Well, I'd like to hear some advice because I don't know what to do anymore.I was diagnosed with OCD in 2019. I went to the psychiatrist for free. In Brazil, we have a public medical system, but it takes a while to schedule an appointment. Anyway, I went to the psychiatrist and he quickly said it was OCD, because the symptoms were clear. He prescribed me some medicine and told me to go to therapy, but I didn't care about the severity of the problem and didn't seek therapy. I went back to the doctor again and he said everything was fine. That was at the end of 2019, and then 2020 came and the pandemic hit and everything closed. Brazil only returned to normal in 2022. But I had already come to terms with the disorder.I got used to it, and I was managing to live much better, so I neglected the treatment. In this period from 2019 until today I have had several OCD issues. But what is killing me is the religious one. In 2019, I converted to Christianity, just me, my family and group of friends, so I was "alone", me and OCD, so ocd fed and created a false God in my mind and I related to this false God, I was alone and could only ask questions on the internet. Well, 2022 passed (I met Christian people) and then in 2023 I started attending a church, but I didn't tell anyone in the church that I had OCD because I was afraid people wouldn't understand. But I stayed in that church for a year, getting to know it and OCD killing me more and more. Here's where the problems begin: I live in the interior of Brazil, in my city there are few churches. I started attending one, but I didn't have communion, I felt invisible, it was very bad, it hurts me a lot. I spoke to the pastor, and took the opportunity to talk about OCD, but that was it. It didn't change, I continued to feel invisible. , I went looking for another church, and the same thing happened, invisible. I don't want to be like a superstar, but basic things. I'm without a church. Another problem, the OCD became a huge snowball, I can't do anything anymore, I can't read the Bible, pray properly, listen to praise, the OCD kind of traumatized me. I don't know what else to do, I really wanted to believe, but I don't think I can, I'm trapped in a cage, I can't connect with GOD, it's all very difficult for me. I can't stand so many doubts anymore, I'm always having doubts about Christianity, like I want to have an answer for everything, I can't have a doubt. I can't look at God, I always think he's disappointed in me, sometimes I feel like I need time, like a turtle's pace, you know, one step at a time, but I don't see God like that, I just think of God rushing me, telling me to do and do and do. I don't have money to pay for therapy, and I wanted to work, but with this mindset, I can't. I'm stuck in this cycle. I'm losing hope in life, my dreams are fading away. How am I going to go to college like this? OCD is attacking my gastric system. I have gas and nausea. College is in another city. Since I'm going to travel, my OCD is going to tell me that I'm going to get sick on the way.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. I NEED HELP. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A FREE RESOURCE?

Hi
So in march of this year i suddenly started feeling anxious about enjoying my hobbies(video games and anime).

I think it started out of nowhere to the point of me always feeling a heavy feeling in my tummy. This persisten feeling seemed to ask me to give up on these things i really enjoyed. I never felt like this so i thought it was God nudging me. I dont think i was placing these things above my duties às a teenager, so i begam questioning my feelings. It didnt seem to be any love, peace or kindness in them, only stress and other feelings that led to me not being able to be peacefull in school and in other activities like the gym. I came to a point where i started to believe this feeling wasnt god and those feelings disaoeared. Also during these times i did a lot of googling about the things God does and if this could be him and on religious ocd.

This feelings returned a week ago and im now quetioning if this really isnt God. I Saw people saying that sometimes this feelings can be The Holy Spirit nudging me but this feelings.were still weird. Im now questioning my self and my motives.
When i think to dismiss this the feelings become stromger wich leads me to think this is God.

Honestly, this isnt something i wanna do but then i remember that i should be willing to give up everything for God and that I will BE abusing his grace if even knowing its him i keep going. The problem is that i cant BE 100 sure that its God. This lead me to a TON of ruminating and questioning these feelings and toughts.
If anyone could help i would be so glad, thank yall and God bless

It's impossible, it seems, to live a life where suffering is completely absent. And some people suffer greatly. So, God in his mercy to Israel wrote a book about suffering (of course God himself didn't take a pen up to write, he inspired a human being to do the writing). The book is called Job. It's a bit of a mystery. It tells a story of a good man; he is called perfect by God. That is high praise indeed. He suffered greatly through no fault of his own. He was the object of merciless attacks from Satan, yet God allowed it. For much of the book Job cries out for an explanation because he knows he did nothing that deserved the sort of suffering he went through. He wanted God to explain it to him. God did not explain. Job had some friends come to explain it all to him; can you imagine how infuriating it is to have somebody who is not suffering tell you why you're suffering and how to avoid further suffering? Job's friends did that to him. I think some people today do the same thing to Job; they have an explanation for why Job suffered, of course their explanation is as useless as Job's friends' were. The conclusion of Job's story is this:

(Job 42:1-6 DRB)

G K Chesterton, a Catholic writer, offered this comment at the end of his introductory essay for the book of Job:

We had a guest priest, a member of a missionary religious order who had spent decades in East Africa and in China (before the government there cracked down on religious activities).

He was full of neat stories about stuff he had encountered in Africa, and even taught us some responses in Swahili. He also sang the entire Liturgy of the Eucharist. It was amazing; it reminded me of the old High Mass from back in the day.

All in all, a very neat Mass.

The Bottomless Pit & Hell

The Great Furnace of the Bottomless Pit

Rev 9:1 And the fifth (Trumpet) angel sounded, and I (John) saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Hello prayer warriors.

Please lift up Jacub in your prayers. He has told me that when he was a child in Pakistan, that Muslim extremists killed his entire family because they lived and worshipped Jesus in the Christian sector of his village. He escaped to the United Arab Emirates where the persecution is not as great.

Well, he is 24 now and has moved back to Pakistan because he believes that Jesus has sent him there. He believes that he is to evangelize, build a church, and feed the children. All on faith because he has next to nothing - he's just there waiting for God to open the doors to fulfill what he believes is his calling.

Please pray as the Holy Spirit leads you. God bless you!

Gentlemen, have you ever had your wife completely turn down your advances, seem completely disinterested in your attempts to woo her, and instead be totally annoyed with you? If your answer is yes, then you’re meant to read this.

The Bible vividly portrays Israel as a central theme in God's plan for humanity. It is woven historically through the covenant of Abraham to launch a nation, maintained through the promises given to King David and his ancestors, and ultimately consummated in redemption through Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

Today, millions of Protestants and Catholics find the biblical significance of Israel compelling and enduring, influencing their perspectives and steadfast support for the nation.

One of the most significant sources of controversy and division in recent times has been the debate over distinguishing between supporting Israel as a nation and supporting the Jewish people as God's chosen ones. This debate has led to considerable confusion and has attracted significant attention.

However, it's essential to recognize that the two are deeply intertwined. Our support should be approached from a spiritual perspective, not merely as a political issue.

But what does it mean to say we support Israel in today’s geo-political climate?

Hi! I am new to this forum. I am a relatively recent college graduate (about a year ago) from Maryland and I am a Catholic who is on fire for the Lord. I have been a lurker on the forums for some time now.
