What's on your mind?

[Cute Peonies]

I came to realise that it may be better to be friendly in general. Handpicking friends doesn't work anymore. One of my bad habit was only interacting with people if I see them in my future. Like I could sit in a room full of strangers and I would deliberately choose to avoid interaction and small talk. I would only speak if I want to be friend with one of them. Otherwise I'll sit there while analysing everyone's body language and words. I thought I was just being the introvert that I am but sometimes I take it to extremes because it was not just strangers, it could have been classmates, family members, coworkers. Funny thing is I was so proud of the friends that I "chose" haha ... Anyways, time to be friendly now.

Mass separation anxiety disorder? You're quite the popular person here, @Somber !

 

[Rene Loup]

Sounds like something you'd do! Oh wow, poor mojo!!

Weenie Hut?! Are you implying that I'm a weenie--

...Just reread that.

Somber! Welcome back. You have been missed.

I am afraid of when the antichrist / The Beast will be coming. I wonder what is going to happen when he comes.

 

[GodAndChocolateVanilla]

I'm also afraid of dying. I am not sure where I am going to go after I die.

I've been the same way for years. Being a "soul sleep" believer doesn't help.

Trust in his mercy and talk to your minister.

I didn't know Messianic believed in soul sleep. I was not sure of their beliefs anyway.

 

[RileyG]

I am so bored of life and feel empty. Is my mind playing tricks on me?

Trust in his mercy

Ultimately this is what you must do, Miss @ChocolateVanillaLion , to assuage your fears. Easier said than done, maybe, but still, you must trust in the faith that we serve a good and merciful God.

Perhaps the book Revelation: Four Views, will help you in this, Miss Lion. It covers verse by verse in Revelation why people of four differing generic interpretations of what the book of Revelation is about, take the stance that they do. The literal Left-Behind-ish, antichrist-is-an-actual-person-who-takes-over-the-world view, is but one of them, and there are just as many flaws with that view as there are with the other three covered in this book that I recommend.

Well, you aren't wrong.

I'm never wrong!

...May you help me get inside?

Hallelujah! Thanks, buddy! God bless!

This was my position long before my beliefs changed towards being Messianic, and it hasn't changed since then. I'm sure other Messianics will have other views.

Thank you SK! @SarahsKnight

I want to start a Bible Reading Group on Zoom or Skype. Basically we will read The Bible together and talk about it. Anyone interested in joining?
