W2L posted an ambiguous question. What you as the reader are not able to discern is the intent. You did not physically have contact with the individual, therefore are being more trusting than you should be.

When communicating with members of the community you are supposed to hold eye contact. Men will speak in lower baritone voices when being honest, women will speak very fast and in a high pitched tone. Men communicate metaphorically, (most of the time using sports metaphors or analogies) women communicate by using very precise and professional language. Women (who have been raised right.) will ask yes or no questions to discern intent. This will establish a system of trust. When men speak in higher pitched tones of voice, emotional manipulation may be present. This becomes a power struggle, and if you think in terms of the Bible, a king will always want subjects. If you are the victim of emotional manipulation by a male he (the manipulator) may refer to you as a pet. "Pup, kiddo, etc" or may use attention seeking behavior of playing a game of "guess what." If you were to present an answer that was not in line with your marching orders the person may attempt to "turn the light down," on your psyche. That is called gas-lighting. Other members of the community call it "intimidation or threats." The Bible is the gateway to your imagination, it maps out where we have been as a culture and where we are going.

I.P. addresses can always be traced. Internet users are leaving physical evidence of where they are, where they have been, and where statistics indicate where they are going.

Life is a game, there is a huge joke that can come from it. It all comes back to the question, "How well can you keep your mouth shut?"

How is what you posted related to the question if God/His presence/Holy Spirit is here on the internet?

Thank you for your thoughts, however.

Not going to speak for him on what he meant but what I took from it was that since nobody really knows each other in the physical presence then you don't know if the person on the other end is who they say they are. Are they really a Christian and a believer or not. In person you can see eye movements body language and hear voice tones and hear how they say certain things. Online might be easier to manipulate certain situation versus in the physical presence.

Life isn't a game though.

We cant have eye contact with the writers of the bible yet we trust them.

Elaborate further on the game of life please.

 

[Dr Bruce Atkinson]

Is God among us as we gather online?

Of course God is there, God is everywhere far more than we can be. He is omnipresent. But God is not alone, there is also the world, the flesh, and the devil. There is a spiritual war going on. We much not be naïve and believe everything we hear; we must stay close to the Lord through prayer, the scriptures, and mature believers. And pray for discernment.

I agree.

[oops, wrong place]

[Error. How do we delete a post put in the wrong place?]

 

[Christopher D. Goodwin]

Same as your Lord and Savior?

Why are you answering my question with a question?

 

[Christopher D. Goodwin]

Elaborate further on the game of life please.

You're playing it right now.

 

[W2L]

You're playing it right now.

Do you have a scripture to support your assertion? After all, you said we cannot trust folks on the Net, so we will need to judge your words against scripture.

 

[brinny]

Why are you answering my question with a question?

For clarification.

I assume our Lord and Savior is the Same One?

Why did you ask Who My Lord and Savior is?

Did you not assume that my Lord and Savior is the very same One

Whom you claim as well?

 

[Christopher D. Goodwin]

Him*

The Lord spoke though the prophets. He gifted others with the ability to discern tones, gifts to be able and read and write in different languages, and to interpret how the past is influencing the present. Check out the story of Daniel for more. The name Daniel means "Judged by God." Under God's law it was deemed Daniel was righteous. He survived being thrown into the pit of Lions.

This conversation is starting to remind me of this:

I, Christopher D. Goodwin, made a statement. Matthew 7:1-3
