The gospel was preach to me and I believed. Faith is the evidence of God for myself.

<Hebrews 11:1

>Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

>>590770

>they were created for a purpose….a sweet sweet and holy purpose.

There are no Jews or gentiles in Christ, and neither are there uggos or cuties.

Because he's real

>Luke 17:21

>For they shalt not say 'Lo here!' or 'Lo there!', for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.

>within you

If you read the bible from a literal perspective and seek God externally, such as beyond the skies or in any physical, superficial perspective, then you clearly have misunderstood the depth of truth contained within the bible. Each and every being prior to Jesus including him is an aspect represented within us, but through Jesus we are find salvation by rising through Jacob's ladder (33 spinal column steps) into the mind itself unto the [Solomon's] temple which rests His tabernacle.

There is much allegorical context to understand, but it takes abolishing yourself from what the construct of modern day religion will push onto you. Religion is not inherently evil, only the leaders can choose to be for an agenda of their selection. You do not need to dedicate yourself to a church in order to seek and be with Christ, you must simply dedicate yourself, your vessel, to Him, and Him alone. Not a priest, not a central figure, for He asks for nothing in return but your faith and diligence to that faith.

Those who seek a "Second Coming of the Messiah" will be poorly misled, ultimately falling for deception. This is why I believe in God, for one must have eyes to see and ears to hear, and they are but found through the spirit.

Belief is one thing, but it also is a construct of systematic thought and power evoked from it. It is baseless, it can be changed by influence strongly convincing an individual, but it can be placed upon one's faith and held strong through resolve forged deep within its roots. Faith however, is everlasting. It is the foundation by which your ancestors cultivated and have kept up until your existence was conceived. Bringing it to a power you can wield and stand for with all that you are requires principles and virtues, like pillars that hold a building together without collapsing at the fracture of instability. Practice good faith and understand that seeing is not believing. Conceiving is believing. Create your belief through the blessing vested within you by God that is this existence, and you cannot go wrong, upon following through with words into actions that speak for all that is committed.

Also, just pray and seek conviction through the Lord via repentance and acknowledgement that we are not perfect but in the eyes of God, whom sees us for who we are, not what, being the spirit beyond the flesh. And that is my long-winded response to your question.

P.S. Do not give into fear or paranoia, for true maximum strength and vitality.

>Those who seek a "Second Coming of the Messiah" will be poorly misled, ultimately falling for deception.

Acts 1:9-11? What are you saying?

>>590809

Christ is awakening in all of us through the Holy Spirit. This isn't to challenge faith, but simply what I sense deep within me. But if it is to be true, I will not hesitate to ask him a few questions in relation to what is being experienced within currently. Perhaps it is due to being in the mid-20's as a man and thus waking up, but for all this life I have felt the presence of Jesus. It is much closer than any of us thinks.

Matt 24

>30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Do you believe this will physically happen sometime in the future?

>>590817

I believe is it currently happening, but may also be a long process, hence the upheaval in all directions that are designed and orchestrated to ultimately distract the individual. To polarize their mind towards the left or the right further, so they may not realize fully what is ongoing. Journey within yourself by prayer and opening yourself to Jesus, and you will gain eyes to see and ears to hear. Despite what all is playing out, it would be wise to understand and bear witness to fruit of what is happening inside of ourselves than to give our energy and moment of being alive to all the distractions and deceptions playing around us. Go to church within yourself and seek the Lord. Meditation is just as important as prayer, for prayer is the spoken meditation and meditation is the unspoken prayer, but do not do so around what you sense to be negative, be it energy, force, aura, etc.

Christ is here as long as we accept Him, heed his teachings, and ultimately prepare for anything that is to happen, rather than to expect. God works in mysteries, it depends on what is to be considered a mystery that reflects our spiritual growth towards Him.

What do you think about what you are telling me? This is only expression of my current state, I'd appreciate seeing what you have to say, as I am only coming to study the Bible more and more.

>>590821

To hear you speak of 33 spinal columns and ascending through them, I fear that your base of knowledge is spoiled with some strange beliefs. I love you and I honestly do believe you when you say you love Jesus. But brother you need to take a step back and realize that a lot of these terms and associated beliefs are wildly unchristian.

Jesus came in the flesh, and he'll return one day in power and glory, very much in physical form.

>God works in mysteries,

This is a fine place to start; study the word mystery in the bible and you'll realize that in the New Testament these mysteries are revealed plainly to us.

If there are no races then why are jews so easy to spot?

>>590834

While it may be true that some of what I speak is slightly controversial, and I do think that, which is why as this walk of life takes me through various knowledge sources that align and contradict each other every which way, I see past the symbolism and the hidden meaning behind it in discovery of even more that was written but not plainly indicates in the works of the Bible. But it is not set in stone. It must be requested through prayer and meditation the full meaning that is meant to be understood and drawn upon its works. There is something incredible about the two when used in synchronicity to communicate with God. And this is not to say that we are God, but God lives through and within us, which is captivating.

Thank you for speaking with me about this, and thank you for also referencing the New Testament. I've read the Bible in spurts throughout my life, but I understand the differences of the OT and NT, but also the difference in lessons contained in both. And thank you for being who you are. I'm planning on resuming through the NT prior to going to the OT. There is a great part of me that would like to believe that He is returning, for I do not believe the Bible intended to bring about illusion (rather, it brings allusion).

I'd like to also mention from a lesson I was listening to discussed the hidden meaning behind the parting of the Red Sea in leading the chosen people to the promised land. Moses wielded a staff which turned into a serpent when cast upon the ground before the King of Egypt. It seems to allude to the spine and the serpent that climbs through it. Now, don't get me wrong, it's conjecture via lesson on what the meaning is contrived of, but when comparing to that and kundalini spoken of in Eastern religions, the stage of enlightenment reached when unwinding the serpent to the crown and so on, it raises curiosity about what is meant by it. The Promised Land, the pineal gland. The parting of the Red Sea, the parting of the Left and Right hemispheres of the brain, walking to enlightenment with the Lord. I feel there are different forms of enlightenment, but if sought through God will lead to a beautiful connection. And then I begin to see how beautiful the Bible is when seeing this, where it communicates what happens within us through the stories and mysteries present in it. But, as aforementioned, this train of thought is not set in stone and thus paved, just that it brings a lot for me to think about and ask. I would love nothing more than to talk with Jesus about these things as I discover them, but currently it is sufficed via prayer and meditation.

For they have pride, and honor it above all. That is the center of their Star of David, or the Star of Remphan for the actual representation. They claim to be jews externally, not realizing what they are actually doing. Or, perhaps they do, and care not, leading to display what we witness today. We are all jews internally, and this is where the core issue lies - difference in faith. This is observable by the practices and actions that are committed by them. If to ask but one question, it would be "If you feel that your faith is of the one True God, how come your religion is shrouded in absolute darkness from the world and therefore deception from your common man?" If they deflect, project, and so on, possibly bringing up the Talmud, there you have your answer.

Ugliness is a symptom of the fall. Its just a decline and subversion of beauty. God will give uglies better bodies post resurrection

Because he has helped me when i most needed help, and i know it's not a demon fulfilling these requests/prayers because he didn't do it at a price, nor with any hidden malice.

It's difficult to explain but a lot of Christians are so confident of Someone that can't be easily described or explained because of his spiritual presence.

>>590965

What if our perception was corrupted by the fall and humans aren't worthwhile judges due to this fallibility?

>>590779

This means anyone can become a Christian. It doesn’t mean Dr. Dre is white.

>>590767

They are afraid of hell and want to go to heaven when they die

>>590770

>cute girls didn't just will themselves into existence

They were created by thousands of years of selection by white men

>>590767

Because my personal experiences has made it impossible to deny the existence of Him.

>>590767

This only really becomes apparent to me when i think of it, but I once had a dream I believe was given to me from God.

>>591041

Immediately anyone would be worried about this thing you have said.

Did you talk to a Priest about it?

Did you test your revelation?

>>591046

Well, this was years ago when I was very young.

I used to have terrible anxiety issues, mostly about death.

Primarily suffocation of some sort, chocking, throat-closing, drowning, etc.

One night I had a dream that I fell to the ground suffocating and I couldn't call for help.

After the ordeal was done, Jesus helped me to my feet and took me home.

You're right, I should probably told a priest but I was young and didn't think of it and I probably don't remember enough to bring it up now.

>>591093

Eh, it just seems like a hopeful dream rather than the pseudo-doctrinal ones people sometimes get. I only asked that because of Galatians 1:8.

I suppose you don't need to worry.

>>590834

Coming back on this reminds me that Jesus is the capstone of our spiritual design. Those of the societies challenging such faith rejected him. The greatest misfortune of humanity, for He is the ultimate empath. The central figure of authority towards love to those who understand the passion Jesus the son of the living God had.

>>590767

-we live in the end times in the way Jesus said

-history aproves of Jesus' existence

It all comes down to facts.

>>591025

Some of us also love God, and want to spend eternity in His presence.

>>590767

Because God is cool and being an atheist isn't edgy anymore.
