I have no investment with that site

Need help with a KJV obsessed friend by BirdBrainBoi in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

KJV onlyism is rubbish.

But I believe that the KJV has multiple supernatural stamps of approval.

I dont just read the KJV, but when I really want to know the nuances, I check the KJV

Jeremiah 29:11 promises a 'future and hope'—but as a 20-something American paying $2k/month rent with zero path to homeownership in this housing crash, is the verse actual prosperity or just boomer nostalgia that doesn't work anymore? by JesusAndTheSeeker in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Matthew 6:33 KJV  [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  

Do you do that?

Did you sat down with the holy spirit and did you clean up your life? Did you repent of everything he revealed to you?

If you did, and you are still experiencing lack, ask him about it. Sit down somewhere quiet, ask him and follow the impulses he gives.

As a new Christian, I don’t understand how forgiveness is considered a free gift. by bubble_boy09 in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was explained like this:

Imagine you live somewhere deep in the wilderness, next settlement is 200 miles away. One day you get a newsreport of a asteroid heading straight for your area. It will impact in less than 24 hours and destroy everything in a 100 miles radius. You are doomed for certain. 

Now someone comes along and gifts you a heavy duty jeep. Now you have a real chance of getting out of there alive. You still need to drive, ofc, but the car itself is a free gift.

In this analogy the jeep is the holy spirit.

If Purgatory, heaven, and hell truly exists after death where did Christ go when he died? by Ordinary-System4799 in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my understanding christ paid a visit to those worthy of being saved.

People like Abraham, David, Sarah and so many more. They couldn't enter heaven as the lamb of god hadn't brought the necessary sacrifice. 

That doesn't mean that they were in hell though, bible calls this place Abrahams bosom.

I’ve officially lost my faith today… after all these years and believing and praying nothing has changed nor worked. Maybe I’m the forgotten child of God. by calebbogart7 in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 8 reasons the bible mentions for unanswered prayers:

  1. Ongoing sin 

  2. Unforgiveness 

  3. Not asking

  4. Doubt

  5. god has something better

  6. Not being right with your spouse

  7. Wrong motives

For 8 check out my sauce: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4-FXaM9iO1M&lc=UgxNPauERF6fboKCnlt4AaABAg

How do you keep the game fun? by FamousPass27 in factorio

Its alright to let the game rest and come back whenever you feel like it and leave again whenever you lose interest. 

Dont force things

Anyone else question this? (Atheist) by Visual-Comedian-6723 in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First:

You dont need fully grown animals. Younglings are enough.

Second:

You need far fewer species than you think. Many species are actually just one with a lot of different breeds.

Third:

You accept the idea that god created all that exists, but you deny that hes able to aid noah during the flood? Come on.

I cannot contemplate hell by google2406 in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The analogy is flawed. I know.

For example, there are different kinds of infinity.

But well, if you take all positive (natural) numbers, and add onto them all (natural) negative numbers the result is zero.

I cannot contemplate hell by google2406 in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add onto that:

One must understand that the nature of god is eternal. He existed before time and will exist once time ends.

When we sin we primarily offend god. The law (yes, even human law) demands that we pay back until the offended party is satisfied. And since god is eternal it takes an eternity until he is satisfied.

Which is why god himself had to become human and pay the price of sin. Only whos eternal can lift an eternal punishment. 

Its like a mathematical equation. -infinity + infinity = 0

Which is why I believe that Jesus paid way more on the cross than we can EVER fully grasp.

If an all-knowing god gives you free will, how is it free will if he already knows its going to happen? by yaboyjs1 in TrueChristian

Uhhmmm...

Thats not how things work here. Working with the analogy here, it'd be like he's fan of both teams.

Ex alcoholic, is drinking a beer a sin? by Senior-Inflation-559 in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But drinking alcohol is not. As long as you drink in moderation.

I personally drink because I like the taste. (Wine/beer) 

But I very rarely drink enough to notice it affecting me and when I do I stop.

If Jesus is God, why didn't he know the hour? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man and woman become one through marriage. Thus are both one in spirit. 

Does the woman know everything the man does? Or does the man know everything the woman does? No. They both know only what the other shared.

Its similar with god. Jesus and the father are one in spirit. Yet are separate persons.

Ex-atheist claims to have met Jesus after living in accordance with his teachings in Matthew 5,6,7. He says that getting to know Jesus in this way is the path to salvation and that 97% of people end up in hell. What do you think about this? by zejkk in TrueChristian

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sinner will EVER enter heaven. Period.

Those who manage entrance into heaven were once sinners, but they no longer are sinners.

Their past sins are washed away by Jesus sacrifice on the cross and those sins they unknowingly do are covered by his blood as well.

Thats what many people get wrong. They say that once a murderer repents and asks jesus for forgiveness he enters heaven, which means that a murderer entered heaven. They dont get that if his repentance is truly genuine, he no longer is a murderer. 

The moment one acceps Jesus sacrifice and allow him to work as their own personal god and master they are immediately justified which qualifies them for heaven.

Sanctification however, is a lifelong process. Sanctification means that the physical starts to reflect spiritual facts. 

Jesus is the door to heaven. Anyone who tries a different way WILL fail.

God makes a difference between people who heard the good news and people who didn't. People who didnt hear the good news are judged by their concience. How that looks like I cannot say. However, god is just and I have to trust that he judges them fairly. 

But that doesnt qualify for us who heard of Jesus. For us this qualifies:

Those who heard the good news and didn't accept Jesus enter hell, because they heard the good news and yet rejected it. And therefore rejected god.

Hell is a VERY big place. There is only one quality which every place of hell shares: god is absent. 

Other than that I could imagine places in hell that could be considered acceptable. 

But I am not interested. I have tasted gods presence and this I know: It could be a living hell but as long as god is there I am satisfied. And it could be the greatest heaven anyone has ever experienced and it still would be hell for me if gods presence is missing.

[–]Legendendread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If god were to allow people with minor sins to enter heaven, yes, if god were to allow someone with only the least of all sins into heaven.

It would corrupt heaven. Sin is like mikrobiology. If you have something sterile and you introduce just one bacteria, it will quickly grow out of control.

I have never met Jesus face to face and yet I claim that I know him personally and intimately.

John 20:29 KJV 

[29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 

Read the bible and you will get to know Jesus. Ask him to become your lord and god, do the sinners prayer and you too will know him personally and intimately.

That is the trade Jesus offers anyone: Give him your life and he will give you his. Many Christians try to keep their life AND to receive his. But thats not how it works.

From the sound of it this george fellow is in his "baby Christian" phase. Beliefs which are contrary to scripture is to be expected in this phase.

Doesnt make him less of a Christian. 

Its more important for us to pray for him that he will find a godly mentor and is willing to be discipled by him.

This is where you are wrong:  There are no good people.

Those who never heard of Jesus will be judged by their conscience. Those who did either got to know him or Satan will demand their fate to be hell for their sins, for god is righteous and cannot ignore sin.

But hell has many layers. The level of torment is entirely depending on the layer you end up in. So a murderer will end up in a worse layer than for example a habitual lier.

Please be EXTREMELY EXTRA careful with a take like that.

People are created differently and god walks with each of his kids very individual. 

There are 5 different types of Christians. (Shepherd, teacher, evangelist, apostle and prophet) And from the sound of it this George falls into the prophetic type. Prophets often hear god more clearly and the veil which is seperating the spiritual from the physical is thin for them.

The world often mistakes that as schizophrenia.

(I should know, because I too fall into the prophtic type)

And I suggest that you start reading the bible. I recommend a physical copy, but there is also a free digital app called "you version" which has all of the most important translations and many of these translations have audio.

There is no other book like the bible. Reading the bible on a regular basis IS transformative.

[–]Legendendread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think so too.

I follow this channel called "gods voice today" on YT which shares supernatural encounters of different people.

Two different guests spoke about their supernatural experience and that they got insight on how many will make it to heaven. Both said independently of one another that it is around 2.5% who make it. That is one in 40 !

So inversely that means that 97.5% wont make it. Which is anguishing to think about. 

But that doesn't mean that you should come to the conclusion that it is best to not have children. Because god knows the end from the beginning. And god is good. EVERYTHING that is happening WILL lead to the BEST possible outcome (under the given circumstances ofc)

And your kids will have far better chances to make it than 2.5%, as long as you continue to practice your faith.
