Thankyou gentlemen. I think only those deeply troubled by big tough questions surrounding the character of God, how to read the Bible, eternal conscious torment... etc,... understand how important these discussions are. Thanks again. A Kiwi down under.

[@darenbaker2235]

David Askin- I agree with you entirely

[@vivecadadia377]

A lot of great stuff and truth. I also believe Christ church is being resurrected in the middle of all these crisis it’s experiencing. Thank you for sharing this.

What an incredible conversation, took away so many juicy things to marinate over and digest! Was like a delicious Christmas feast for the soul!

[@sellappanpalaniappan5602]

Good conversation- thanks!

[@JohnChaffeeTalks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Have been moving towards the idea of God being a totality and how our being situated, in time and space, cause and effect, affects our ability to understand/comprehend Him-his fullness. As well as ideas of that totality, maybe, not being solely the preview of Christianity.

Beautiful!

Thank you! Cheers!

My eyes are opening, but “I see men like trees walking”. I need another hit of healing, Jesus.

[@kathrynnewton8721]

Love all you guys! I’ll have to hear your actual story Brad. I think I’ve been here for many years but not known what to do with it!

[@brucedeshong4918]

For me it was like the framework on which everything hung on collapsed and I was above an abyss in mid air. Maybe it was my fault trying to find answers to what was going on inside of me feeling like two people, I thought it was gender dysphoria so I sought the pastors help but he made things worse (an absolute Cxnt) then ten years later my sister suddenly said maybe it’s autism, which it turned out to be the case, too little too late, I wish she’d said something earlier because I’ve been an hormone transgender therapy for many years but not surgery, I was also convinced I would lose my salvation and end up in the never ending darkness of what people know as hell, hades. Now God seems distant to me. If I was normal I could fit in with normal people .

have an intense spiritual anger at false religionists using ECT to make threats, my own father who was never in the home never raised me a day did nothing for me, told me i was hellbound after being saved 30 years, i can't really even be in tyhe same room with people who call themselves christians now, any advice welcome - everyone be blessed

[@bw2442]

Keep your eyes on Jesus and spend much time at his feet letting him love you thru the anger and whatever you need to feel, let his love swallow it all up.

[@LarryLarpwell]

@@bw2442 thank you so much

[@kathrynnewton8721]

What do we do with the Bible?

[@christymarsh3363]

May I recommend to you, 'A More Christlike Word: Reading Scripture the Emmaus Way' Book by Brad Jersak

[@darenbaker2235]

I recommend that book too , Christy Marsh

[@davidwormell6609]

I haven't read mine in many years. It was used to cause too much damage in my life by my old church. I do not consider it a reliable document, and I am certainly unqualified to attempt to translate or interpret it. Just my personal experience, not saying anyone else should discard it.

[@kathrynnewton8721]

@@davidwormell6609 oh wow, no I still read mine everyday and love the written word. I know there is so much that is confusing but there is also depth, creativity, mystery and the profound love of God in its pages. Look through the Jesus lens and the covenant of love and you will be astounded every day. Favour on your journey

[@davidwormell6609]

@@kathrynnewton8721 Hi K. The last time I read the "red letters" as all I saw was the Law. I think I will do without, at least for the forseeable future. My life is more peaceful and joyful with the living Word of God made flesh, that with the paper version.

[@Solitary-Gnostic-VTP]
