    Incubus attack confirmed

    Thought I should share a dream I had over a year ago, mainly because it was validated in an unexpected way. I have defeated sleep paralysis attacks by evil ones entirely, but on rare occasion I, or any believer, can be "dream fed" frightening dream stuff by the bad guys. After all, they're...

    Horrifying Dream

    The scene opens in my dream and I'm being escorted through some entry or doorway into a very darkened interior of a muti-room "place" of darkness. I only glimpsed at who or what was leading me - it was just a figure. But the only colors inside this dark place were black and a dingy grey. There...

    How Does God Die "For" Sin

    It's so common a phrase in Christianity that it's pased me by much of my life. It must have some surreal, metaphysical, hyper-dimensional meaning....because with the standard phrasing in the NT it really doesn't compute. I get that only God can deal finally with sin....but what does it...

    Suppose Both are Incorrect

    I'm at the point of a faith journey where I've concluded both sides of the "Arguement" - Catholic and Protestant, are wrong in many elements of their particular interpretations of Christianity. But they are correct in the main points - the ones we all believe in without effort. But each school's...

    What is the Son?

    It was Jesus who started using the terms "Father", "Son", and "Spirit". Do we all agree that these three words used as descriptors of an eternal relationship among the Triune Godhead which created beings will never come close to grasping? What those 3 persons actually are, what they consist of...

    What is the Son?

    We've been taught as Christians that the Son was eternally begotten before the foundations of the world. We know that when the Son became incarnate he was called Jesus. What are your ideas on WHAT the Son is, always was, and always will be outside of time, and from eternity? Imagination...

    Forrest Gump's Theology...IMHO True

    One idea 70's evangelicalism presumed wrongly and taught in different ways was that life was cut and dry, black and white...any answer could be found in the Bible and explained. Time went on and I found life was far more gray and subtly complicated, and began to reject some common ideas that...

    Prophecy of the Antichrist - by St Malachy ?

    In order to justify in your mind the perceived primacy of the RC and thus protect your "Emotional Investment" of commitment to the Church of Arrogance you have felt compelled to enunciate the tedious position of the RC - the Antichrist is actually Protestantism. I was raised a Catholic and I...

    A believer and a sinner, the Bible vague

    I believe and embrace all orthodox teachings about Jesus - that if I am to be saved He is the only means whereby ai am able to be saved. Yet, I sin, with success in some sins and failure in others. The degree to which I'm successful is transitory, based upon my own judgements and those of...

    Before the angels fell...

    The whole idea of 1/3rd of the angels falling and rebelling (assuming it's true) prompts a few logical questions: 1. If the angels existed in perfection, with the free will to obey or disobey God...then cannot any resident of heaven, current or future also fall from heaven?; 2. Heaven implies a...

    Is God Less Forgiving Than Our Parents?

    When I read this question in a discussion of the book The Shack it really made me sit up and think. The writer had a great point, because that's exactly the way I felt about God, and in reality still do. My parents were very loving, but I was taught about a God who counts your sins and many...

    Are the Jehovahs Witnesses really that bad?

    On a strictly psychological level I think JW's are traumatized people, and their embracing of the Society is a coping mechanism to retain a hope in God but going to the extreme to distance their minds from whatever has harmed them in the past. So many JW's are ex-Catholics (I can identify) that...

    Is God always Dying?

    Jesus died for our sins... Jesus is God, revealed in time, the visible image of the invisible God... Jesus reveals the character and nature of the invisible God... Is God always Dying, and since God never changes...was He always Dying within His Triune nature even before Creation?

    Is Only God Perfect?

    When Perfection is used as a term, it's commonly applied to God only. Agreed? I accept that premise that only God is or can be perfect. Therefore, that which is not God (Creation) is imperfect. And since not-God (Creation) is imperfect, it is that state or quality as a function of Creating...
