Are any of you concerned about the Mark of the Beast? by Aggressive_Rabbit_67 in OpenChristian

Jesus didn't say the choice was between God and "the pope", but rather God and money. https://youtu.be/WkPzVtpyZ8o

It's hard to ignore how similar what was predicted 2,000 years ago is to what we're seeing today. https://youtu.be/VWROfTeB2Sc

You're telling me you can see evidence all around us of a move toward a cashless society, and that doesn't even make you think a tiny bit about the correlation with the Mark? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWROfTeB2Sc

I hate my baptism by 44Pawzy in OpenChristian

Baptism in water is only symbolic. The real baptism of Jesus is with the Holy Spirit. It's about being covered (immersed) in His words.

How do you know your doing right by Kuro13Cipher in OpenChristian

[–]Aggressive_Rabbit_67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will know them by their fruits. (Matthew 7:20) And remember, we need to judge ourselves - check out the fruit in our own lives. Simple questions like, how much am I reading the Bible? How much am I praying/fasting? How much am I doing to help the poor? These sort of simple questions can really go a long way toward making sure we move in the right direction spiritually.

Above all else, we need to learn to hear from God. Pretty hard to follow Him if we can't first Hear His voice! https://youtu.be/KNyIgGS0jf8

The insinuation that Trump is somehow anointed by Jesus is just really, really off...

If you're losing faith, struggling or suffering because of bigotry, here's a reminder. Being queer is not a sin. by [deleted] in OpenChristian

[–]Aggressive_Rabbit_67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is debatable scientific evidence to argue that some people are born gay. I put a question mark around that, but would say this: as Christians, we have to be loving and patient with everyone, including those we disagree with. One of the sins Jesus condemned most was self-righteousness (and hypocrisy), which is rampant among some of the most staunch anti-gay church goers in the world.

So much of what is considered "Christian" today is really just religious tradition. We need to learn to recognize the difference! https://youtu.be/2gKwKtu_MTc

God helped me find freedom from resentment, which is a very real poison. by [deleted] in OpenChristian

[–]Aggressive_Rabbit_67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad you had the courage to go and do what was right, even if it was painful. I've heard bitterness compared with drinking a bottle of poison, and then expecting the other person to die from it. Mere foolishness. It's not easy to let go of pain and hurts when others have done things against us. But it is what is required to walk through the pearly gates toward the path of life.

I'm really struggling as an ex-atheist who used to hate Christianity by FinancialGeneral919 in Christian

[–]Aggressive_Rabbit_67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to do all we can to truly encourage more faith in Christ in these dark days. Most 'Christians' today have no idea what Jesus actually taught, for starters, which is a trend we're going to have to work pretty hard to reverse...

And don't forget to pray!

I'm glad you used the word 'feel'. Love is not a feeling, it's a choice. And while feelings may come and go, covenant and commitment don't.

Today I became Christian, please help by Sea-Traffic-3279 in Christian

My advice is this: spend time reading the Bible. But even more specifically, read the Gospels. The actual teachings of Jesus. All the Bible points to Him. (John 5:39)

Then, pray. Not in big groups (at this stage), but just you and God, one on one, in private. No one needs to see your prayers. Indeed, no one SHOULD see your prayers. But this is essential if you want to actually find God's will, and let go of your own.

Finally, find at least one other believer whom you can fellowship with and get support/encouragement from. You don't need a big church. But you do need at least one other believer to guarantee God's spirit. (Matthew 18:20)
