I agree with you actually, I think sometimes Jimmy has a way of kind of... taking the knife to my posts and sort of.. cross examining them, and then this gets me sort of unsure of how to even explain myself. But the thing is, listening to the Holy Spirit isn't listening to your own head. When...

This is from 1 Corinthians. Use any translation you like, this is the NIV. 19 Where is the wise person, where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through it's wisdom did...

Even my bible tells me not to trust scholars, do you think it's talking about atheistic ones? I have my reasons for my beliefs and they aren't coming from a place of ignorance and I don't have to explain anything to you. And if you wish to call me arrogant because of it, so be it.

You're not getting my meaning, I'm not rallying for ignorance. I'm saying when it comes to prophecy I don't believe the scholars have the correct interpretations, or that we can definitively say we know what they will look like when they are revealed. We can have hunches, and we need to listen...

Lol I forget I can't just make jokes in serious threads, bad Symph! Yeah that's annoying, you can love your dog as much as you want just don't make him your life, reserve that spot for Jesus and you good. So keep on loving that dog like this dog loves this strange wire device. I don't know...

Nobody ever pesters me and my wife about having kids.... We are just about the strangest people on earth, so maybe they're all scared of what would happen if we breed.....

I don't want to push you, it sounds like you're very overwhelmed. I will simply start praying for you, I really feel for you in this. I'm an over analyzer and a person who can't get out of thought loops a lot, I know what it's like when your own mind is betraying you. You are incredibly...

I can't figure out what there is to discuss.... you just stated the truth. God said he'd never flood the whole earth again, and He won't. But he said something totally different about fire.... lol

But my friend, what everyone's saying isn't coming from their heads, it's coming from the Word! We just know what God's word SAYS about people like you. And IT is what tells us that you are loved by God. Have you tried spiritual warfare? I don't usually put a whole lot of stock in it...

I really love everything you said and totally agree, I just want to add that belief will always bear fruit. I just... I don't want anyone thinking it's as simple as tucking belief in Jesus in your back pocket, and being willing to say "oh yeah I believe in Jesus" when someone asks you. True...

Can you explain this "OCD" Is it something that developed because of something traumatic in your life? What exactly is it? Like are you scared of your emotions? Or is it more like a neurological loop where your mind just won't stop with habitual thought processes that don't allow you to...

Yes exactly! No little effort goes unnoticed, even the smallest act of faith is valuable in God's kingdom.

Lol silly

But what are you striving toward is the question. Because my point is I have personally seen how when I just focus on Jesus and fill myself more with Him and His Word, he begins to CAUSE convictions, he begins to orchestrate events that LEAD me out of my sin. I don't strive myself against the...

I think we will still be being made righteous in the millennial reign personally. We may even still be being perfected through all of eternity. If God is infinitely righteous, then is there even an end to the perfecting? It could go on and on for the rest of our existences.
