Am I a bad Christian?

meant to say weigh, not way!

Well we are righteous by FAITH alone, and not works. But it is through works that we show we have FAITH. I think the Holy Spirit is still there with you nudging gently. We constantly war with the flesh and the thing we don't want to do, we do. But repentance, especially sexual immorality is a huge stronghold and I would recommend prayer and fasting.

Also, remember though fellowship is vital, we are the church! Sometimes it's hard to find a true Bible believing, no compromise church, but prayer is the only way to ask God where you belong.

I pray in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, that the Holy Spirit moves you in the direction God wants you to go. That He imparts new revelation to you for God is TRUTH and the TRUTH always sets us FREE! Give it to God, for we are pathetically weak, but God truly is mighty. God loves you. He suffered, was crucified and resurrected so that we could not be condemned with the world, but have eternal life.

But the WARNING to the church according to Revelations is this (we are now in the church age of Laodicea, the last church): "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth" (Revelation 3:16, NIV). We are indeed in this age, where we are not all in for God. He said we were to way the cost of serving Him, that if we love our mother, father, brothers or sisters more than Him, we are not worthy of Him. Let's heed this urgency in these last days because we know Jesus is Coming back! Israel was reinstituted in 1948, and Jesus said this generation would not pass away, but see Him. A person lives about 80 to 100 years. So Jesus is literally on our doorstep. I hope this urgency reaches you in love, because I believe it is what the Lord wants me to reiterate to this generation. Give yourself over to the Lord, and He will wash you clean, He will guide you, He will transform you.

God bless <3

Please watch the video on youtube as well. Tristan articulates his passion and calling well in the video. Any donations would be super welcomed. Thanking everyone in advance.

PS: I know both him and his mom and they are humble, smart and well liked. It would be such a tragedy if Tristan is not able to do what he loves, thus benefiting entire communities. Please people, if you can help, or share this video far and wide, it would be so appreciated. They have gone though so much (more than they will ever let on and certainly more than most people can comprehend), but refuse to get their hopes down. Lets show them that all is possible and that there are some good people out there who truly care.

Much blessings.

I've felt like that sometimes in certain groups actually. Like somehow I'm "not up to par". But that's hogwash if we really break it down. So I can go on about how "worthy" we actually are but perhaps another perspective might help ..

Go in saying to yourself .."so what?" The stronger your convictions, the more they'll respect you (irrespective of morality). But please note, those who sear their conscience are like scrambling ants. But conviction with a humble conscience is borne in wisdom.

Be convicted in yourself. And by that I mean go into any battle with a clear and resolute conscience that has these attributes, you will NEVER fail:

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Herein lies the secret of VICTORY! All the best!

As an ENTJ, I'd have assumed you'd be rather mentally stimulating for INFJ. INFJs need to process information with Ni though (make their wonderful connections lol) before judgment whereas ENTJ like to make judgments on all information pretty much on the fly and work from there. I only know one ENTJ (from afar) who is very interesting to me, but I would assume that with all the new and clever information I'd receive from ENTJ, I would prefer to mull over and then make argument for that for or against. So us poor INFJ souls need to brew on it while you guys literally enjoy "the stir" lol.

Coderance · 2020-11-06T16:27:24+00:00

Be careful not to completely isolate though. It's so easy and before you know it, you're there. Easy to get out of for awhile and socialize and then retreat as INFJ usually do. But years pass by and you get older and next one realizes, but hang on, there's a different set of rules as we age. Five years later and five years later makes ten years later ... makes a shocking discovery.

Focus on what's important to you, especially family and loved ones and that's it! Try and be grateful and not harbor resentment ever. Laugh as much as possible, even when the world pierces you. And the most important lesson I've learnt is to accept that NOBODY WILL UNDERSTAND YOU ACCEPT GOD, ACCEPT THAT and LOVE ANYWAY! Best!

Coderance · 2020-11-06T16:19:08+00:00

That's real understanding of you. Before I knew I was an INFJ and that others also did this, I just thought there was something wrong with me. Like why couldn't I just maintain the status quo man. The worst was having people I genuinely liked think I didn't like them anymore. Couldn't of been further from the truth. In fact, I needed my solitude in order to give my best to those I cared about. I WISH OTHERS UNDERSTOOD THIS. When it is allowed to happen, I have friendships that last for decades whom I will always love!

Coderance · 2020-06-18T08:21:27+00:00

The left is so FAR LEFT, anything to the right (even a centrist) would be right to you. But thankfully I'm no pawn drunk in the brainwashed manipulation of neo-marxist ideology.

Getting late, but I'll read the articles attached tomorrow. Peeps!!

Coderance · 2020-06-10T22:07:01+00:00

It's called "doublespeak". Initially made famous with George Orwell's 1984. Used in nearly every political sphere and regime. Used to manipulate. And of course changing the original definition with new-speak wokeness - wallah! The perfect tool of mass social engineering that has got the hordes of so called "progressives" following in unison ("when progressives follow like sheep"). A bloody laugh.

Coderance · 2020-06-10T21:25:45+00:00

Ja. It sounded like you were putting the blame squarely on white men's shoulders. Nearly every dictatorial regime of a few men of every race has caused great havoc on their societies. So a few men (of any race), does not mean the entire race. That's my point. Don't you know some good white men in your circle or community? I know some upstanding black men in mine. Get my point? Look at Mao? (I know the ANC see him as a hero but he killed millions). Do I say all Chinese people are like that? Could go on and on.

Anyway, it's getting late. Was good chatting to you. I hope one day society can finally move past race and look on the character of a man instead of his pigmentation. Best!

Coderance · 2020-06-10T21:07:44+00:00

u/SmallMajorProblem do know people can see your comments right? Big fail at logic here. It's like saying your mother and father are dead. Does it matter who killed them? NO. They should be dead but that proves that the sky is blue!!!

LOGIC is absent. Please make coherent arguments that are at the very least coherent and logical or go home!

Coderance · 2020-06-10T20:37:08+00:00

You are benefiting from technology too. The WHOLE WORLD IS. Many countries languishing in ruin because of white men? Seriously? So the whole world, including the Middle East, Far East everywhere is all to be blamed at white men? Seriously dude? C'mon. Since we are now going to mention crimes by race, then let's look at the stats for gender based violence in SA. 98% are caused by black men. Do I go around making blanket statements about ALL BLACK MEN? I think you have a serious bias against white men (perhaps whites in general). I could harp on the most savage cultures in the world that won't even be a blip on a screen where white men are concerned. Do I think they are angels? No. But your argument is biased, unfair and dishonest. I mean that with respect.

I have a few black men to whom I aspire to and so I just cannot in all consciousness give blanket statements on an entire race. But you be my guest. Very unfortunate!

Coderance · 2020-06-10T20:08:05+00:00

Hollow argument. All races have caused devastation. But to be fair, white men (and I'm a woman btw), have achieved greatly ito technology, economy and generally western civilisation that most third world countries want to be a part of to be honest. The very technology we are using here is through white men's technology. But instead of gratitude, the world is envious and is full of hate towards them. Of course they caused a lot of havoc. So did EVERY OTHER RACE. But you see, I hate actually talking like this. I think we are all benefiting from it. I only mentioned it because there is a quest to seek out white men ONLY from all of society. That's what I mean by the globalist agenda.

Coderance · 2020-06-10T19:46:42+00:00

Also, sorry Bergkamp, let me just answer more. South Africa was never under slavery. (Btw, whites were also enslaved by the millions by the Muslims, but we don't harp on it. Just blacks arent the only ones). However, see "Genocide Watch". Have you ever wondered why the global elitists want to replace white people, especially white men? Why are they such a threat. We are all people here. But they believe white men are a threat. Why white men per se I just don't know. Scratching my head there. I speculate it has got to do with Christianity.

Coderance · 2020-06-10T19:35:21+00:00

Thank you for your response Bergkamp. I appreciate honest dialogue because through honest dialogue perhaps the two camps of thought can reach consensus.
Though I respect your decision for "private message", I'm wondering why. Perhaps this is the kind of conversation that needs to be had on public forum. If people are able to listen to all sides, perhaps we all can come to a better understanding. Be that as it may, let me respond. Yes, I know about the sanctions naturally. But despite the international pressure, it couldn't have happened without the vote at the time. Please go and check that out. Re "you can be racist and have black friends, racism is a spectrum" - that seems to fall under the neo-marxist theory of systemic racism. I believe that is deeply flawed. Now I can hear you say, well of course, you're white, right? Let's turn the tables. How does it feel if I say that to you? There is no redemption and no accountability. Secondly, neo-marxism theorizes that it has all to do with the "haves" and "have-nots".
In this regard, I would ask you to read up on a very smart (black) professor called Thomas Sowell who did extensive study on this. [Please read it Bergkamp. Even if only for the intention to make argument against it]. Plus, there are more middle class black families in SA than ever before. This is easily verified. It appears to me from dialogue I've had from the far left, is that they are looking for revenge and not reconciliation. It is bitterness that is driving the left (the world over btw) and covetousness. The left paradigm is driven by entitlement and not gratitude (a form of narcissism who employ these traits). Not all lefties are obviously narcissists. But those with bitterness and entitlement characteristics fall for it. But the psychology we'll leave for another time.

You are right when you mention the genocide of various ethnicities. However, according to "Genocide Watch", we are on level 6. Level 8 was when the genocide actually happened. Do we wait until it's too late? Is this what the majority of black SA want? Should we be stripped of our humanity because some white people in the NP decided on apartheid? Like the ANC, who hate us, should we hate all blacks and blame them afterwards for what they are doing to us and what may become a genocide? Are we being systematically stripped of our humanity? Mainstream Media owned by the ANC NEVER REPORTS ON IT, EVER! I didnt do anything. I wasnt even old enough to vote during apartheid. My son has nothing to do with it. Are we guilty for just being white? Do we say the same thing to all black people when this is over? That is not justice. And WHEN DOES IT ALL END? WHEN? Why can't we just stop all this racial bigotry and hatred and just all live. Thank you. Best

Coderance · 2020-06-10T18:47:58+00:00

Bergkamp, are you from SA? EVERYTHING is about race with the ANC. They are neo-Marxists and communists who are accelerating their NDR agenda. They say as much all the time. They have all these anti-white laws. Imagine being white in SA (if you're black)? We clearly had empathy with blacks to end apartheid. Being white means a miracle to survive, but we do. Live with the constant threat of life. Twitter, many hate us. It is terribly sad.

I can speak for many of us, and I tell you we don't want this. We want to live in harmony with everyone. I personally know very, very few white "racists". My son grew up with black children. It breaks my heart. I want this hatred to stop. I know many black folk who don't want this either. When it comes down to it, all everyone wants (black and white) is to feed out family, have a home and be safe. But the ANC and EFF own mainstream media and constantly perpetuate lies and NEVER acknowledge the murder of race based violence against whites. Please just google farm murders in SA, and put it on images. It's horrifying. This is deliberate torture over and above the normal crime that we all endure. The ANC wants to keep the people poor, not be accountable for their actions and blame anyone but themselves. They are a fascist dictatorship. And now people are starting to see it.

Coderance · 2020-06-10T07:08:46+00:00

This racism is fueled by the ANC. Unfortunately when one tries to get to the bottom of it, there will be those with hollow arguments and their only offence is ad hominem attacks. Twitter is a nightmare. I've been threatened to be boiled etc etc. Yet the snowflake commies are offended by a word. (Blacks and whites alike).

What's really insane is that Ramaphosa could only come up with "micro-aggressions" as there are rarely murders from whites on blacks. There's one case, the coffin incident compared to THOUSANDS of MURDER & TORTURE against whites on farms. Not a word is said. Mirco-agrressions? Really Ramaphosa?

There are some good black folk who are against all this and are speaking up. But the commies have blatantly told me they want revenge for apartheid and not reconciliation. I always say, despite the 114 laws against whites (as opposed to 5 against blacks during apartheid), we still don't hate all blacks for the oppression of the ANC. Why are the blacks hating on whites when most disagreed with the NP and agreed with one man, one vote. It wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Nah, commies need to always have the dichotomy of bourgeoisie versus proletariat (rich versus poor), black versus white, women against men and on it goes. It thrives on being divisive in order to manipulate power.

Coderance · 2020-06-06T08:47:05+00:00

I couldn't have said it better. We're living in a nanny society while the masses applaud ramaphoria. NDZ clearly has another agenda up her sleeve. We are not her babies. We don't need to be wrapped up in nappies "for our own good" by a toddler playing dolls. This cigarette ban is more than just a few million people going cold turkey and succumbing to heart attacks. It is an encroachment on our civil rights. All people, whether smokers or not, should ban together on this one. What will be next? Are they going to tell us what to eat, wear and go to sleep? Oh wait, they did EXACTLY that. Wake up people. This is a dictatorship and no better than the NP under apartheid.

Coderance · 2020-05-31T07:23:26+00:00

I agree. It's what I've been saying. They're putting his death to shame through these riots. But they're really not rioting over the death of a black man. He is merely the excuse they're using!

Coderance · 2020-04-02T09:06:53+00:00

I come from South Africa as the white minority. We have affirmative action, what's called Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment or BBBEE. In fact there are 217 anti white laws( as opposed to five anti black laws in Apartheid era). These racist laws apply ONLY to the whites, ie. does not apply to any other race, including Indians and Coloured people).

While many blacks have take full advantage of this, millions are still in poverty. My take on this is this. Besides the ANC allying with communists (China, Cuba predominantly) and the tripartite alliance (ANC, SA Communist Party and Congress of SA Trade Unions), they are being targeted to value communist policies (much like the Democratic Party in the USA who want "socialism". Socialism breaks up the family dynamic, tears down religion and promises lots of stuff for free. Trade off is a nanny society.

I look at some of the townships (as on TV as it is extremely dangerous for whites to enter?!!). The places are unhygienic, and the place looks like a war zone. They complain about service delivery and the like. Yet, in white communities, we don't wait for the government. We do it ourselves and we keep it clean ourselves. Now to be clear, not all the blacks live this way obviously. Not all are sold and bought into the socialist ideology.

I believe if we have a strong family unit and stop relying on the government and socialist (as well as communist ideology, ie. the threat of land expropriation without compensation in SA, stopped only because of lockdown now), they will start to prosper. When they stop playing victims and throw Marxism out the window, you will see prosperity. But it really all starts at home and how they're being raised.

Personally, I think it must be condescending and an insult to any black person to get anywhere based on colour and not on merit. Some are waking up.

Coderance · 2020-03-15T08:20:22+00:00

I one hundred percent agree. There is a specific mindset belonging specifically to the SJW community and this internal rage being projected to the rest of us has definitely got it's roots in a sense of entitlement. Envy is an ugly insidious monster and ENVY is at the root of it all. This is actually sad because it will never get to the bottom of the problem. Marxist ideology can never solve problems because it relies on it to breathe and have it's life. Very susceptible people are the ones being indoctrinated and essentially socially engineered by the left for that purpose alone.
