Is being single, and able to handle it, a blessing?

It may also explain the protection (I haven't described it, yet. I am protected by God at all times. I am warned in advance, told of things, granted protection and justice. It's complicated, and lots to write on the subject...)

I was also protected in strange ways for a long time(20 to 25 years). As i have been maturing that protection is being removed.

I have to drive the speed limit now because i no longer have premonitions of where all the cops are at. I have never been given a speeding ticket. Just two warnings, both in 2010.

I have to wear safety glasses when cutting or grinding steel. I didn't use to, the sparks would never hit my eyeballs. But one day i heard the words "i am not with you" when i was cutting some steel (to be honest i should not have been doing it that way) and since then i have actually had 4.5" angle grider cut off blades get jammed and torn off in the cut. Never had that happen before. And no i dont use the guard.

I have to religiously remove every nail from boards when demoing buildings so i or someone else doesnt accidentally step on one. Etc, etc.

However, to some extent i enjoy the added responsibility.

What im not looking forwards to: is the legal aspect of things. I should get an attorney on retainer, a financial manager, wills written up, retirement funds managed properly..

Back in 2016 i distinctly heard what i suspected was a guardian angel, it said "i will leave you soon" while it brought to my mind several instances where it had protected me either supernaturally or by giving me knowledge to avoid danger.

My immediate reaction was not "oh no what did i do" but: "oh good, im all grown up now".

Let's just say I'm a Scorpio and I knew others born within the same month and one one within 7 days of the same month as I did and they're not aging in reverse.

Scorpios have a tendence to become introverts and I was for most of my life. The self-imposed isolation could be a factor but I've turned extrovert in the last few years. Tired of the isolation perhaps but it did not change my strange aging situation.

The other scorpios I knew are like anybody else, having lots of friends and spending lots of time with friends.

Is this a joke or do you actually believe this nonsense?
Its like palm reading. My jewish friend says its real but he doesnt believe anyone on the planet actually knows how to read them. Im like.. dude a demon offered to teach me and i told it to go away.

One of the things i do feel a bit guilty for: Back in highschool in 2005 i found a hacked version on limewire or the pirate bay of a numerology software package.

I printed out all 54? Pages of text in it, and there is a very small chance i may still have it. Anyhow, back then i had concern for a girl and she gave her full name and birth date so we started reading her chart.. it was accurate enough she started screaming, hands over her ears, ran out of the room.

It's simply an observation for me. An interesting pattern and nothing more. I won't be choosing my friends based on astrological compatibility.

That was an interesting read. I believe it is true. But I think this maturity is something that we do. Your actions determine whether you are ready for maturity or not. And, they determine whether or not you need to be mature. What happens if you live your life in a manner where maturity is not required? Remain a child, with child-like innocence for the rest of your life? I wonder if this would preserve it.

I've received voices in my head when justice has been done to me. It was said "It is done" when justice has been served to my oppressor(s).

Truthfully, I don't want it to go away. I need it, and rely on it.

personally i don't believe God intended me to remain in a child like mental state, but that is what happened between age 8 and age 30 and a lot of harm came of it.

if it works for you, i will not be offended.

The reason I ask is because I have not changed.

I observed a lot of people change, and not for the better. The curios thing is that they change, but they have no idea they have changed. They don't evaluate themselves, and they don't have anything to compare with. In their minds, they change slightly, when in fact it is greatly.

The thing is that, over the years I have not changed. Our earthly life requires fighting, and lots of it. Yet for some, everything is given without fighting. This is similar to a child with his parents. The parents just take care of everything, and the child simply receives. I was and I am allowed to live as a child. Though I'm not, obviously. But this also preserved the innocence. Never having to deal with the world, keeps innocence. And I also think that while you remain a virgin, you remain a child. There are written works that go into detail with this, and apparently, the step between childhood and maturity is virginity.

Is it possible that God would want for some people to remain children?

TOTALLY!

sure, anything is possible.

I've known people that lost their virginity very late in life, and said that their entire value system changed afterwards. They were no longer interested in noble things, but rather things of the world. One in particular was study - knowledge. It dropped significantly after the deed was done. I can't at this time explain it, why and how.. but it is. There are different set of priorities of the world, and not of the world.

I believe that women bind you to this world. (With women being already of the world). And once you do it, there's no turning back from it. I know this because God gave me this piece of knowledge.

Misogynist nonsense.

Misogynist nonsense.

Nope!

I pondered for years what it means in revelation when it refers to the 144K who have not defiled themselves with women.. I understood what it meant after getting married.

Women and children are a significant spiritual and physical liability you have to be willing and ready to accept.

For what its worth, I have never gotten hate mail on reddit except in one specific case. a man was asking what the ramifications are of a relationship with a woman who practices witchcraft. I explained to him, that such women will actively seek out a christian to ensnare because he is still required to love and pray for his wife, and so she will effectively "use him" for his spiritual protection/benifit.

The woman in question, found his reddit account and found my comment and needless to say she wasn't happy about it and insisted that her spiritual practices do not affect him.

So everyone is different, but what we do know is that hardly 5% of the population will ever regret an abortion. and what that tells me is, that's the upper limit for percentage of Christians in society.

My former girlfriend from 2017 was in a state of spiritual distraughtness over her sins of 4 prior relationships. For whatever reason i was warned not to make any commitment to her and do not expose her nakedness. this went beyond simply carnal relations, i was not to "pry into" her past sins, so i didn't.

I think so as well.

Yes but that's against the bible. You can't marry a woman that is a non-believer. When Paul said those words they were well-thought. You don't know if you (the believer) will change her (the non-believer). But the other way is more likely.

Besides, when you marry, sins of both partners become shared. What she does from that vow and forward, you also share. Her sin is now your sin, and vice-versa.

The woman in question, found his reddit account and found my comment and needless to say she wasn't happy about it and insisted that her spiritual practices do not affect him.

People like to live in their own world. Thus taking from the bible what suits their lifestyle.

Wholeheartedly, I agree.

It wasn't for you.

I get these warnings as well for all things that aren't for me.
