Re: Why can`t I hear God?

It is just my opinion that the NIV is a false version. Time to change to the unchanged original the old King James, not the new KJ. You can only give it a try and see what happens. 1611 or 1769? If KJV onlyists would merely read the introduction by the translators, their position would be refuted. ...

Re: Why can`t I hear God?

A ressurected saint? Nope, just a child of God finding my way back to Him. Death, in itself, isn't cruel. Our perception of it defines that. And God has done all he needs to do about it. I feared death until very recently, now I accept it as an essential part of my journey home to God. Not that I'm ...

Re: Awareness of Salvation

Thanks Byblos :)

I just think you can't make someone change their views but you can encourage them to.
Showing them rather than teling them.

Re: Awareness of Salvation

See, that makes perfect sense to me :) I will never stop asking questions, that`s who I am, I think it may be my special gift from God, all I have to do now is figure out how to use it! I really do feel like a kid in a swweet shop :) Annette It must be very difficult to live in a country that, for ...

Re: "Can people in heaven look down and see us?"

Paul....

I`m not being obtuse, well not deliberately so :)

I`m confused... Do we join God in eternity at the moment of death? Or "sleep" until ressurection? Or both?

This is something I really struggle to get my head around.

Re: "Can people in heaven look down and see us?"

I`m not sure we are judged. Isn`t the whole point of Christ the fact that our sins are forgiven? We can, through Jesus, stand in front of God without sin. The slate is wiped clean, our sins forgotten and forgiven? I believe that God exists outside of time (as well as in it), he exists in eternity. W...

Re: Books ( or anything else) that changed our lives

I loved The Shack! Found Finding God in The Shack really interesting too. The Shack, for me, showed me that God is a personal God and helped me understand The Trinity too. I guess the book that really started my faith was Beyond Belief, will have to see who it`s by but it answered a lot of questions...

Re: "Can people in heaven look down and see us?"

So when we die, we sleep untill the day of reckoning?

Doesn`t God exist in eternity though? If He does then is it not possible that we all join Him in eternity as soon as we die?

Awareness of Salvation

I`m not sure how to phrase this so bear with me... Are we aware of our salvation once saved? I mean when we die, do people here think we are aware w e have died? Do we really come face to face with God? I think, for me, I believe that it`s our spirit, or maybe the Holy Spirit, returns to God and lig...

Re: "Can people in heaven look down and see us?"

I don`t think we collect our old body, we don`t need it. This is just my personal view but our physical bodies are only needed in this earthly, physical existence. When we die we are given a new "body" I`m not sure what that body will look like, or if it will have form as I think that the ...

I cannot express how much the threads on here are helping me on my path. Hana... I`m from the UK :) I`m finding that poste...
