• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

I have a lot of inward angst. Whatever I do, the grass is greener on the other side. And the deepest questions come onto my mind like, why do I keep thinking about a certain girl in real life I have no chance with? Do I contradict myself too much? Am I a good debater? What is the proper view on Revelation? What is the proper human relationship between yourself and God? Why are gender roles important? Why when I see myself in my mind, do I look different? Can I really make substantial conversation? Should we love that which can hurt us? Are people more deceptive than they let on? If I ever saw evil, what would it look like? If Jesus asked me to eat his body and drink his blood, and that stuff was real and not metaphorical, would I eat his flesh and drink his blood? Do I need more discipline from God? What if I long for a wife in heaven?

And many other questions.

Well many deal with this stuff. The "proper view" (Revelation 1:1) on Revelation is simple: "8th King" World Government complete will trigger Christ arrival.(Revelation 17:14) Their world government mantra "world peace everyone!" is 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3. Maybe that will help you on that question, we have at least 15 years left before Christ Game Day.

Revelation 14:6-7 means many will be saved.

Name one positive way in which you mislead yourself.

Now name one positive way in which you can be misled.

I'm really not sure what "positive" means here, but removing the word "positive" from the sentences...

One way I mislead myself is thinking I have the answers when I don't. Take religion for example. It's a vast subject.

One way I can be misled is by thinking the wrong things.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding and not answering the questions properly.

Misleading myself or being misled.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10

Surrender to the birth of His Love in you, the Holy Spirit.

"And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Luke 3:22

Being positive about misleading yourself or being positive about others misleading you is a trap. How will you escape the trap?

Read about 20-30 nonfiction books and the Bible hoping to get some answers?

Is the everlasting gospel lastly preached by angels before or after the two witnesses testify and 2 Thessalonians 2 occur?

There is ONE Lord, Jesus, ONE Faith in Him. Trusting yourself to have the answers in every situation is not positive. Trusting the Holy Spirit is. "Lean not to your own understanding" is a great verse.

John 3:16-21 KJV

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

adjective
adjective: wrought; suffix: -wrought
  1. 1.

Is the everlasting gospel lastly preached by angels before or after the two witnesses testify and 2 Thessalonians 2 occur?

As per Matthew 10:23 human being reps cannot complete the global ministry as symbolized there by "[cities] of Israel". So, when Christ arrives as per Revelation 11:11-12, Matthew 24:29 and Revelation 14:1 (a post arrival milestone) he must employ his angels to ensure all human beings receive the Revelation 14:6-7 "everlasting gospel" offer and thereby "complete" the global ministry.

As per Romans 2:12-16 even humans who do not "know Christ" but have obeyed the law of love by means of their own conscience must be SAVED. The big hint this is true again, is in Matthew 25:31-40. Now you have read Matthew 25:31-46 correct? Probably. And so have most Christians. Yet, those final "sheep" are SO NEWBIE they ask what would be silly questions to Christ like "when did we see you naked and thirsty?".

Thus, those people most likely have not even read Matthew 25, yet they are saved and surprised at being blessed in such a capacity so they must have been basically good people as far as the law of love would determine; as Christ said "the word I have spoken" is what will judge mankind and we need not carry a threatening message when basic people of caring even if not "knowing Christ" WILL be saved as guaranteed by the angels of Christ tasked with the final directives well out of human hands by the time of Revelation 14:6-8 time.

THAT is why we call it "THE good news".

Now since angels are involved even now in stealth ways to eventually aid the "two witnesses" final warning of a notable 1260 days, they complete the ministry for Christ, really Christ HIMSELF must COMPLETE the very ministry he began, albeit in "great power and glory" in the very end.

Because we know the symbolism of Revelation 11:11-12 of the Christ arrival for the sheep gathering task FIRST, we know Revelation 14:1 is a completion of a certain portion of that gathering, and thus the angels of Revelation 14:6-7 must be in 100% ministerial completing capacity AFTER the final "two witnesses" (Revelation 11:3) warning has been completed as per Revelation 11:7 with world government "ascending" (Revelation 17:8-11) into complete final "8th King" "scarlet wildbeast" global "one hour" of power (Revelation 17:12) as a global mega-sign all will be able to see to aid the "big salvation" coming with those final events.

In effect, Christ cannot arrive until the rival world government is completely warned and ready for war with the King of kings as per Revelation 19:11-21 finale sequence. A final warning and "open salvation offer" of Revelation 14:6-8 backed by indomitable angels of Christ has to be made known first, and the [guaranteed] "open salvation offer" is that Revelation 14:6-7 offer when it is being realized for all the people who will accept the offer.

We have about 15+/- years until we enter this period of world government completion AFTER the coming world war "sword stroke" of Revelation 13:3 (Isaiah 41:1) as "healed" into said rival global sovereign finale entity. Obviously, no one will be able to miss these events as they lead to the things which must soon take place as per Revelation 1:1.

In the meantime, we can tell people about this gospel offer which is guaranteed to get far clearer as we enter and exit the world war phase coming up. And that "sword stroke" is the "tribulation of those days" PORTION of the Matthew 24:29-31 and as explicitly stated that is why Christ arrives AFTER the "tribulation of those days" has resolved with the "sword stroke" context it is, into the said global "healing" of Revelation 13:3.

In this way, the fake "doomsday" scare merely resolves into global recovery as the highly positive global context in which world government is presented to mankind, rather than crisis. The fact is that "world peace and security" (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3) under world government is far more effective to encourage people to accept the wildbeast than "doomsday" which was just the scare tactic to make the recovery all the more globally hopeful for said purposes of Revelation 13:3 and Revelation 17:8-11.

(Tip: there may be a fake "peace and security" before the global "sword stroke"phase breaks out in the future, btw, stay awake, don't be fooled (Matthew 24:6)It is after the war that Christ can arrive into the "world peace" mantra of world government complete)

Part of the living "good news" is we now know how the final cycle shall unfold and why and how big the salvation shall become known, in time. From God's standpoint, a highly positive "open salvation" guarantee is also more useful than doomsday hype (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2; Matthew 24:6; Luke 21:9) to get through to those who will be saved, even live and real-time as per Matthew 25:31-40.

It really is good news.
