Hi Silvertusk, Congratulations on your marriage! :D I have been thinking about this on and off, and ... I wouldn't say humbling is being stepped upon and lessened but ... I think it's when we realize that in a sense there is something going on much greater than us. We are a part of it, but we are no...

Then perhaps you still have some interesting and wonderful experiences to look forward to, J316 :)

Hi Silvertusk, I think this is a great question, one of the more deeper ones that I have read on this board. It has been hanging around in my head for awhile now and I find it interesting that no one has posted an answer to such an important question. I would think every Christian would have had som...

Ugh! I feel that nothing is right and everything is going in circles for me. So just stop and sit still for awhile. Stop running around with the circles in the ratrace. I just want to know the truth of everything, Is there a God, is He the Christian God, was there a Jesus, was He resurrected, is th...

I knew a girl once. She was schizophrenic. We were having a conversation and she told me, in all sincerity, "The doctors tell me these voices I am hearing are not real. I really want to believe them, but it is so hard. It is so hard." I could have cried. The human mind, the brain, is a pow...

I was watching a show today and the women who wrote Chicken Soup for the Soul mentioned that she had people healed of incurrable diseases from the power within ones self and it wasn't prayer or God that did it. Brian, who do you think made us? Why wouldn't human beings have power within ourselves. ...

Hi Tim, I respect your sensitivity. I also want to state that I think women masturbate for different reasons than men do. But all in all, with both, it can become an overwhelming addiction. I am willing to discuss in PM my experience with this matter, if any woman is interested. I also want to state...

Tim, In our search for truth and light, if we are ridiculed, what does it matter? We will always be ridiculed by someone for saying or searching for the truth. We need to learn to handle ridicule if we want the help. It seems to me that when the guys were talking about it, it was OK ... when a woman...

"I want there to be a God so badly and I want to know there is an afterlife, and if there was a God and we could take our own lives without being judged about it I would kill myself, but I just don't know. Please help me!" Brian, Jesus quoted God in the Old Testament saying "'I am th...

Nice post, kateliz. The autobiography of Madame Guyon was given to me as a gift about 20 years ago. The passage you chose is interesting. It confirms to me what I was trying to say. I agree that communication between human beings does take many forms, not all of them words. In fact, words just may b...

But, when God showed me one night, that all thing could not exist without His handi-work, I adopted a completely different perspective of life. Recognising that I'm a created being gave me no choice but to live out the purpose I've been created for. Yes, I believe that all things cannot exist witho...

I like this image Paul uses in Corinthians describing us as the body of Christ … I was thinking though, that all human beings are the body of Christ (the Sent One). All of humanity. We are all "sent" for each other. “For also in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews o...

Hi J316, If there is an ethical and loving "God", or whatever human attributes you want to prescribe to him, I guess I would have no choice but to be "judged" by him, now would I? It's not what I want or don't want ... HE is the all-powerful one. It is what HE would want if he is...

An Equalizer probably would inflict more injustice in the process of giving everyone what everyone deserves. Maybe the "Equalizer" wouldn't necessarily be the "Judge of all things" that doles out rewards or punishments. Maybe the "creator" as a "person" (conc...

Seedling, people who believe in God are not weak. Yikes, KMart ... I never said people who belief in God are weak ... I don't think I even implied it! And it's not an "us vs. them" mentality, I thought it was more along the lines of "us saving them." They (Christians) don't &quo...
