That was a
very interesting read many comments caught my attention I've recently been diagnosed with Bipolar I have hallucinations and hear voices in my ear's when I hallucinate it's likes they are trying to get me thousands of them I can only describe them as dark shadows and they are trying to get me just as they are about to get me a brilliant white light surrounds me and there's three entities humanly shaped but like this brilliant white light they are also glowing this brilliant whiteness I can't understand what they are saying the only way I can explain it is emotions comfort joy love is what I feel emanating from these entities the voices I hear aren't evil telling me to

Clive, you point out how others often don't understand what Jesus was saying; but while Jesus often labors to try and make
things clear to the unbeliever («Oh, you of little
faith) or at the
very least the author tries to make it clear for us in retrospect (At the time they didn't understand that he spoke of this...), in this case Jesus switches from something that might be figurative to essentially say «no, I seriously mean this» and it concludes not with Jesus saying «don't go away, this is what I actually mean» but confirming that people would refuse to accept that God intended for them to actually fill themselves with the life that He offered so they stopped following him.

Another preacher preaching what ever goes is ok with Christianity... If your going to preach Christianity based on the Bible, then you might as well forget gay marriages are ok... If you want to twist it around then thats up to you... Paul said, «The Berens were of noble charachter because they didn't believe what they heard, but they took what they heard and confirmed it with the Bible... So its like the Yen or Yang... Its either Gods church or Satans Church... Can't be any other way...
Do I hate gays, no... I have some
very close friends that I have had for over 30 years that are gay, but I think they will be accountable for their life styles... Thats the
thing about Christianity, we are held accountable, its not an everything goes belief... Its rules we have to follow... And rules we will be held accountable... So maybe this preacher needs to start a dfferent
faith or religion... One where there are no rules and where its people are not accountable for their actions...
To Ken Margo: I am totally agree with you about this evil
thing going around the earth... this evil minded people is there everywhere regardless of
faith... that was not what i was trying to say... my point was to be able to recognize the One True God who is Unseen and who has no partners as He is not in need of any partners but we the creation is in need of Him... thats all... I wish I could
do something to stop all these taking place around the earth... I think we human fear the fed laws more than we fear the laws of our Creator, for example not to associate any partner with Him, taking the life of others, drug dealing, human trafficking, believing in hereafter and so on... I remember a story that I was talking with one of my friends... I was telling him look we all obey the law of the land so much like for example when we drive and no one moves even an inch when there is a school bus stop to pick / drop kids as it is a fed laws but when it comes to the laws of our Creator, we don't care... like having physical relationship outside of marriage and many more... then he said something nice... he said that its because we see the consequence of breaking the law of the land but we
do not see the punishment of hereafter even though it is mentioned
very details in Quran, it even gives pictures of hereafter....

Tim i found it liberating to just
do what the Lord wants you to
do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I love the people and i love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even if others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is to
do what the Lord wants me to
do.There have been times i have said no to the pastor he
does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have to be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he
did nt understand where i was coming from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved in leading.But i am happy to be an encouragement to others in the worship team i havent wanted to be the leader i have
done that in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part of different worship teams i think the Lord has other plans as the groups i am in seem to be changing at the same time i am aware that i
do nt to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord
did such a huge change in my life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a bad
thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me and what i could
do to knowing who i was in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can
do nothing in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time in everything.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning and one has services in the evening so the two
do nt really clash.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music its been two years since i
did that and i was worried on how i would go.All i can say is that it went really well and because i stepped out in
Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to be right and when i
do it in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you what he wants you to
do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you
do nt have to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and
do nt feel pressured by others expectations to
do anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel lead by the holy spirit even if it is in a
very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz

If Christianity continues to tell you that WHEN you get your act together — God will finally open his arms, the representatives of this
faith are not understanding the premier principal of God — through Christ he loves you NOW — but when his love begins to radiate into your personal life - your
very personal life - you will make choices reflecting that reality — all other
things, people, dogmas, Biblical interpretations — all of that through the long centuries of man — will be a drop in His eternal ocean and in that first eternal moment — won't matter - your needs now matter — Christ addresses need — with Himself — demands — with parabolic events — and refusal — with the end result of free will — even the will to reject Him — when He would have
done anything for you to not be rejected.
lol, yes clay i am an atheist... i created the sun whorshipping
thing to have argument against religion from a religious stand point... however, the sun makes more sense then something you can't see or feel — the sun also gives free energy... your god once
did that for the jews, my gives it to the human race as well as everything else on the planet, fuk even the planet is nothing without the sun... but back to your point — yes it is
very hypocritical of me, AND thats the point, every religious person i have ever met has and on a constant basis broken the tenets of there
faith without regard for there souls — it seems to only be the person's conscience that dictates what is right and wrong... the belief in a god figure is just because its tradition to and plus every else believes so its always to be part of the group instead of an outsider — that is sadly human nature to be part of the group.
Gil you have asked some
very good questions why
does bad
things happen in the world i personally
do nt know God
did nt explain to Job either why he had to suffer.What i
do know is that God desires that none of us should perish but that all would have eternal life in him through Jesus Christ.This world will one day pass away and the real world will be reborn so our focus as christians is on whats to come and being a witness in the here and now.Both good and bad happens to either the righteous or the sinner so what are we to make of that.What we
do know is that God will set all
things right at the appointed time the wicked will be judged and the righteous will be rewarded for there
faith isnt that enough reason for us to believe.Free will is only a reality if we can choose between good and bad but our hearts are deceitfully wicked we naturally are inclined toward sin that is another reason whyt we need to be saved from ourselves so what are we to
do.For me Christ died and rose again that is a fact witnessed by over 500 people that were alive at the time and was recorded by historians how many other religious leaders
do you know that
did that or
did the miracles that Jesus
did.As far as the bible is concerned much of the archelogical evidence has proven to be correct and many of prophetic words spoken many hundreds of years ago have come to pass including both the birth and the death of Jesus.Interested in what philosophy you are believing in if other than a
faith in Jesus Christ so how
does that philosophy give you the assurance that you are saved.Its really simple with christianity we just have to believe in Jesus Christ.brentnz

do anything (surely the

Was not analyzing the Manchester ss and don't really care much there but from a footballing point of view and from the words of MR wenger I understand the logic I
do nt read what the media thinks neither My comment above addresses the issues we face in comparison to the two previous seasons adding in our re enforcements The 22 million question «Are the Arsenal capable of achieving 85 point come next May???» I believed we were strong last year and said it here that the team was strong and together and used the
very words that MR wenger used cohesion but as the season unfolded the cracks showed up at the
very beginning when we lost to west ham and it got worse as we lost pole position and every
thing around us came tumbling down by February last season here comes another important question
did they know and understand what happened
do they know what to
do this term to avoid the
very same
faith well we wait and see Irregardless of what happens I will support Arsenal and will keep analyzing every match my way until May so Good luck Arsenal with your endeavors and hope you
do well against Liverpool keep the fight on keep the heads up and give them a good beating
