    Its a mystery, and none of my business to try to fully understand them.

    Around starting last year I wanted to dive in and try figuring things out myself and looking at what others were saying. At this point of time I stopped attending Church, I stopped prayer, I was spiritually deprived for the sake of knowledge that ended up leading me away from God. I realized...

    Accusers are everywhere, all they cause is fear and confusion!

    Also sorry I mistook that group for being Catholic. A lot of these radical cult groups disguise themselves as being Christian, or Catholic so it can be hard to tell when you don't know about them. I am learning to just walk in the Spirit and let the Holy Spirit take the wheel. Once I try to...

    Accusers are everywhere, all they cause is fear and confusion!

    Thanks for informing me, those videos really got me confused on why they made them. Youtube is a terrible place for information, what good can I expect coming from there or the internet in general. I am not too good when it comes to research, I better let God do the leading.

    Accusers are everywhere, all they cause is fear and confusion!

    I have faith in God, I believe in the Trinity, I believe Jesus is God in the flesh that he died for my sins, and rose from the dead. I was baptized in the Orthodox Church. I feel perfectly safe and comfortable here, this is the only Church where I feel comfortable. I don't know a whole lot...

    How can I put on the armor of God? Spiritual discernment?

    I still have some spiritual holes from past experiences, I remember I was warned at the beginning to stay away from these new denominations coming out I wasn't well versed and slipped. Here are the spiritual differences. At the SDA my spirit was constantly in fear, I absolutely hated it, the...

    Soul found rest at Orthodoxy

    I found out they don't even keep the Sabbath correctly either way. They have no idea what the Sabbath even was for (A day of rest, not just worship). They use fear tactics and conspiracy theories to scare people. There was no love in that place, just fear, and condemnation, law keeping. God...

    Soul found rest at Orthodoxy

    I believe I am being lied to a deceived This what the offshoot church I was talking about that tricked me. I posted this a while ago, and that "Church" was definitely heterodox!

    Soul found rest at Orthodoxy

    I have been on a rough journey. I started off here, I wasn't firmly rooted in. I was distant for a couple years and went astray. Now I came back to where I started and got the Holy Spirit. This was all a learning experience, I have much more discernment than I ever had. Maybe it was God's plan...

    Is this a good career choice? And how realistic?

    A financial analyst or stock trader. I would want to work only 4-5 days a week. I want to leave at least Friday and Saturday free for the Sabbath day. I look forward to having a wife and I can see myself possibly having kids when I get older. Right now I am 20. Other than that my dream Job...

    The moment that I decided to follow Jesus Christ I entered a battlefield

    Exactly, there are 100 different gospels. One guy saying all I need to do is repent and no longer sin, another saying by doing specific works. I prayed and I'm gonna stick with 1st Corinthians 15: 1-4. Which I believe and trust that God showed me the gospel after I seeked him and not a...

    The moment that I decided to follow Jesus Christ I entered a battlefield

    Years ago I was agnostic/atheist. I came across Christianity on my own, I wasn't sure if the spiritual realm existed but now I have experienced it when I wasn't ready. From that moment onwards I had many deceivers come past, JW knocking on my door, Mormon missionaries, and I eventually left the...

    I believe I am being lied to a deceived

    I study the scriptures carefully, no more youtube, or putting 100% trust in man alone. This is what my Church is telling me, I don't know for sure yet but it doesn't seem to add up. 1. They believe that they are the only true church, and you can't get salvation if you're not apart of it. 2...

    Burning heart and desire to preach the Bible?

    I listened to my friends and kept worship, I strengthened my faith and one night I got to experience the Holy Spirit dwell in me. Any desire to sin has diminished, I feel as if I can overcome and the link that was missing from me made whole. Thats the sort of feeling I have. Physically the...

    Not a single Church burnt!

    My friend who is in the military told me a story of how a member from our Church survived a blast from a mine without a scratch. I believe God truly protects the followers of Christ.

    Isolation, intrusive suicidal thoughts

    I go to a large Church as well, hundreds of people. I would go find someone who would be willing to study with you, you can begin to create a friendship with them. Sometimes you need to seek out friendship, it doesn't always seek you. Most people are introverted or shy, it might be good to...

    Why am I suffering so much racism

    New International Version John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." Very sorry for what you are experiencing. Pray to the Lord, ask him to help you through this. Ask God to end the suffering, and to stop evil people coming your way. Get close with God, seek him...

    Am I probably in the wrong path when it comes to career choices?

    I enjoyed taking statistics, learning about paradox in data and how to apply it in the real world such as business decisions including risk. I have a high interest in the stock market, which I trade in I have an analytical mindset and do not find it boring looking at data and trends. But in all...

    Were you ever deeply betrayed by another believer?

    I find it ridiculous how people can slander others, and the person that ends up being slandered is seen as bad, even though the slander has no backing. It shows how ignorant people can be. Sorry for what you went through, no one deserves any of the pain caused by slander. I have lost a lot of...

    Were you ever deeply betrayed by another believer?

    I haven't been betrayed by religious Christians because they walk in the light of Christ. The ones you have been betrayed by probably were in doubt of God. A thief can recite the words of prayer, but if he doesn't actually mean it with all his heart it was useless. Many people will say they...
