My computer seems to be glitching, I've made a couple of posts in this thread giving excellent advice and links, but they've vanished, maybe Satan's at work here? My apologies to Sk8, "We wanted to come to you but Satan stopped us" (1 Thess 2:18)

Another thing to consider when doors open is whether it's God or Satan doing the opening. It's very difficult to tell, so we have to rely on our gut instinct. The only surefire way to find out would be to walk through the door, then if we find we're happy we'd know it was a heaven-sent...

I don't think God's plan is to make you unhappy, so if you wouldn't be happy in the cold, don't go..:)

I think deep down the fault is mine, I never really wanted to get married or have kids, I'd have felt trapped as a "family man" so it just never happened. However if there's a lonely sweet-natured woman out there who needs my strength and support, I do mumble a little prayer now and again to...

You're lucky, I never married or had a longterm ladyfriend (simply because I never met anyone) and have had to go through life alone for the past 50-odd years of my adult life (sniffle). Speaking of serious depression, I've only ever been hit with it once many years ago, an 8-week spell out of...

Yes it's sometimes difficult to know whether to share our experiences, for example I once had a possible UFO close encounter while camping alone and told people, but then got taunted with "seen any more flying saucers?" by some of them every time I bumped into them and it served me right..:)...

Good point Jaxxi, demons have trouble breaking onto our plane, and usually have to be INVITED in. That's why they pretend to be deceased relatives at seances and spiritualist meetings.

And here's a verse I like which sums up how the Christian mindset looks beyond the material world- "For we look at things unseen rather than the seen,for the seen are temporary,but the unseen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18) That fearless confident "faraway look" is to be found in all Christians eyes...

I was always a stubborn strong-willed chap, for example I was expelled from school and had brushes with the law in my younger days, but I like to think I've mellowed a little bit since then..;) However, my rebellious streak is burning as brightly as ever, thank God, so i've always found it easy...

Other odd experiences I have from time to time are to do with numbers, they're coincidences where for example a numbers appears in a newspaper article I'm reading, and it also comes out of the TV speakers in the background at the same instant. In supernatural writings they're called...

Everything we know has an ending such as ourselves, our goldfish, our ice cream, our Star Trek video etc, so our human minds can't grasp the idea of something having NO ending or beginning like God..:) Jesus spelt out our difficulty to grasp such concepts- "You hardly believe me when I tell you...

I grew up as a kid in the 1960's on Star Trek TOS, then in the 80's years I was hooked on Blakes Seven, then in the 90's I became hooked on ST:TNG too..:) Sadly, of all the sci-fi TV shows since then, none has really interested me. Religion in Star Trek TV episodes and films- An alien 'god'...

"Hate" doesn't really mean hate; Jesus was using the word to forcefully get his point across. He also said we should hate our families if they stand between him and us, but we know he didn't mean to literally hate them either. Personally I "hate" the world but only in the sense that being...

FALSE ARRIVAL I was home alone up in my room one afternoon many years ago when I heard the rest of the family come home from a shopping trip; I went down to greet them but there was nobody there. They arrived back for real an hour later and I asked my mother if they'd been back earlier but she...

But surely God gave our stomachs the knowledge to message us telling us what to send down to keep the body ticking over efficiently, so why should we ignore the message? For example on cycling-camping trips my stomach always screams out for a pint of full-cream milk first thing in the morning...

When my "fearfully and wonderfully made" inward parts (in particular my stomach) screams out for something, whether it be meat or ice cream or whatever, surely it knows best what the body needs, so is it wise to refuse to give it what it wants? For example if I cut out meat I'd feel empty and...

As a matter of interest, do vegans sometimes think "Gosh I'd love a nice juicy steak!", or do they simply not have the craving any more?

As ToBeLoved says a couple of posts above- "Find yourself a good church that edifies each other." Yes, and I'd add this advice- if you join a church but don't feel comfortable in it, GET OUT and try another! "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm"...

Lighten up..:) Somewhere along the line you've had the wrong idea about Christianity put into your head by misguided teachers, and as a result you think it's a big complicated thing! Take Paul's advice on board- "I'm worried lest you be led astray from the simplicity of Christ" (2 Cor 11:3)

I haven't got a gun, I can't hunt or fish or do agriculture, so my only hope is to "barter" my fearless cast-iron christian mindset and good humour with a survival group so they'll let me stay with them to keep their morale high..:) "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another"...
