  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. 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. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

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

As an addendum to the my post above. Something else may be an issue here. It is of no doubt that God's response is wait for me. But while this wait is in effect, the devil tries to make his move. I had numerous dreams in which he wanted me to work for him. Some of them tried to lure me, others simply "commanded me". This is what I meant by improper use. I don't know what this is, and I do not want to make a mistake. I'll say this much: whatever it is, the devil wants. I will never forget my teachings though, regardless of what happens.

Everyone has a different level of self-control. I guess you are lucky to have such mature self-control.

I've never been in a relationship either. I have no friends but interact with siblings.

A man cannot be corrupted by "freedom", but women on the other hand... very much so.
I can't agree with this. What do you mean by "freedom"? Both genders can get STIs.

A man cannot be corrupted by "freedom", but women on the other hand... very much so. A person's worth lies in what he chooses to do with his freedom. And unfortunately, a large majority of people cannot handle freedom.

What do you mean by freedom in the context you’re using it?

I don't know. God gave a lot of things that most don't have. But He never tells what He wants with them. It's curious because He always directs me into what NOT to do, and always keeps me safe, but so far nothing as to what to do. It would appear His only response to me is wait. I do not believe that God would make such people just to grow old and do nothing. The protection around me is really strong however.

There are 8 billion people in the world and everyone received a morsel from Him or more. The only one who can make that claim is Jesus Christ. I find it interesting that you receive no insight on what to do and only the other. Which doesn’t seem evenhanded or indicative of an aspect of His Person. He‘s called the Counselor after all. We see similar examples in the bible of many being led towards or away from something which contradicts your experience.

It's no so much one abstinence but many. The grade in which things are executed in of sainthood. And it doesn't make sense to me at this time.

Sainthood? What do you mean by that? It doesn’t appear you’re catholic. How did you make a leap like this?

The strengths and abilities that God gave me are not used for anything at this point. The way I'm think is, He doesn't what does He want. And I do not want to use them improperly. It more, much more than what is on the surface.

I don’t know what extraordinary abilities you believe you have. Given your comment on another thread it seems our conception of the Holy Spirit is not aligned.

God gave me prophetic dreams and visions. The Holy Spirits reacts to everything evil, even when people conceal it. I always know, even without thinking, or observing. But the two are required me in my earthly life, for myself.

Your addendum raises other questions. You mention the devil trying to command or lure you in dreams. Why haven’t you been informed what that entails and how to guard against it? The whole thing is strange.

When you are well fed, you do not want. This is what I mean by freedom. A well fed man cannot be seduced. It applies to everything. And this is shown in the book of Genesis. Adam and Eve had everything. But it wasn't enough for Eve. Instead, for Adam was enough.
The female liberation movement was built on the idea of oppression. Planned, created, and funded by men. It had and has one main purpose, and multiple secondary ones, and its covered in good intentions. When you think you are oppressed the first thing that pops in your mind is escape. Doesn't matter from what, just to escape. And most of the time, you jump from the frying pan into fire. When they thought it up, they deduced the outcome correctly. A woman's weakness is power. A man's weakness is woman.

It's wait. He told me in a dream to keep my word, as He will keep his.

Intuition. I didn't know but did things all the same. And these things are biblical.

Everything that affects me, I am told of in advance. And I feel evil. And, whenever I plan to do something that I should not do, I am told not to.

God did appear a few months earlier and told me to keep my promise to Him. And afterwards, the devil showed up. So, it's obviously related. Also, the fact that in my dreams I did recognize him is another thing.

If Adam was well-fed he would have admonished his wife and denied her offer.

The female liberation movement was funded by wealthy men and women. The primary purpose was securing taxes from the wife which wasn’t possible because she didn’t work. The familial fallout that followed was a bonus.

If leadership is your strength why haven’t you solved the problem?

It was to please her. Drunkness has many forms, love is one of them. It made him blind to the truth. And unfortunatelly, this happens more often than not.

If that were the primary reason, there shouldn't be a war. Taxation occurs easily over everything. It happens over night. There is no need to involve philosophers and mathematicians to devise a plan. Nothing required war to apply. This did, why? And it just so happens that this particular taxation is against God.

I don't get involved in the world. I stay away from everything that is corrupted, and politics is one of them. This solution is simple: people need to love one another. When they'll do that, all of man's corruption will fall.

He wasn’t blind to the truth. That’s why his punishment was greater. She was deceived but he wasn’t.

Ayn Rand once said, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat. The skinning isn’t important once you’ve broken its spine.“ That’s the situation in the nutshell.

Your engagement on this is involvement with the world. They host christian discussions in exchange for profits which is capitalism. The bulk of the conversations on the venue are political. You’ve chosen an odd setting for discourse in light of your ideals.

The world won’t be whole until Christ’s reign. We‘re incapable of loving one another unselfishly and many do not wish to.

Her punishment was greater, not his.

He was deceived, by her, which in turn she was deceived by the devil. The devil knew he couldn't get to him directly, which is he chose her.

When attacking anything, you don't go for the strongest point, but for weakest one. She was his only weakness.

Man's society has been built on numbers. Cost-effectiveness. You never consume resources without a guarantee of the gains. Lots of resources equal lots of gain. Low resources, low gain. That's how society works. There is nothing done for free. This movement was well executed. Anything well done costs money, and lots of it.

I do whatever God tells me to do. And so far, it is to not be of the world.

Besides, people don't understand. They don't understand the importance of being sober-minded. The more you tell them not to do something, the more they want to do it. They are mostly focused on forgiveness of the Lord instead of stopping their sin. If they were sober-minded, they would have better control over themselves.

I see people chained to their desires. Money-chasers and skirt-chasers , because only these two exist. It's such a useless pursuit in the grand scheme of things. I am very thankful in being what I am. I would have disliked this sandcastle-like living.

Ask a man and see what he says. Most theologians say otherwise and as a woman I’d have to agree. Labor is momentary when compared to a lifetime of toil. The ground wasn’t cursed for her. That’s why women are excelling financially. It isn’t wholly because of feminism. Especially on the entrepreneurial side. The ground isn’t cursed and working against her. If you understood the spiritual correlations you wouldn’t hold that position. The earth is under man’s dominion and we can speak to it much like the wind.

He was deceived, by her, which in turn she was deceived by the devil. The devil knew he couldn't get to him directly, which is he chose her.

The command was given to him by the Lord. She didn’t exist at the time. And the devil knew he’d heed her influence which the Lord addressed in his correction. He didn’t say she deceived her husband. He chose to disobey.

I see people chained to their desires. Money-chasers and skirt-chasers , because only these two exist. It's such a useless pursuit in the grand scheme of things. I am very thankful in being what I am. I would have disliked this sandcastle-like living.

As long as you’re content with your life that’s good. I don’t find that’s so with most.
