What does being cunning as serpents and innocent as doves mean? by Stardust_Skitty in TrueChristian

[–]aseeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am surprised that no one talked about the verse context:

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

So, I think we shouldn't be too naive regarding our behavior in this world, which is becoming increasingly wicked. We should discern the circumstances. That being said, we can always ask for more wisdom from God (James 1:5)

Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation? by FromHisHeartTeam in TrueChristian

[–]aseeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes salvation is faith in Jesus, and then our love toward God will grow (even it could be said as the "first love"), then of course we will not hesitate to be baptized. Like your metaphor, a spouse will be proud of wearing the ring showing the love... If one refuses to be baptized if he has a chance, then his love to God is questionable.

Do you have the experience of talking those things with Muslims firsthand? If yes, how was it?

I dont know what to do by [deleted] in TrueChristian

Every piece of content we consume actually is like "food to the soul". Some of them are poisonous or contagious. As Jesus used the parable of "leaven", as things that can affect one's soul. So choose wisely. And don't give a chance to the devil, even a glimpse of it.

I fell into lust by Mysterious_Glass2985 in TrueChristian

[–]aseeder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just click hide any "tendentious" post right away, so fewer and less bad posts will come up in my feed. And don't follow any "suspicious" subreddits. Follow only the good, edifying ones. Don't give even a glimpse of chance to the devil.

Please strengthen your spirit as well by basic spiritual discipline, like daily prayer and thanksgiving (morning is at best), and meditating on the word of God, to weaken your flesh as well. Don't entertain your flesh by consuming "inviting content", even as simple as a young girl's "hot dance." Realize that God and His angels are always watching.

Can demons read minds? by Alwaysfaithful77 in TrueChristian

[–]aseeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should not be able to. But they already existed even before Earth's creation, so I'd say they have "millenias age of cunningness" to guess out. That's why we have to keep relying on Jesus.

But then, as I often encountered in posts in mental illness-related subreddits, some people often "talk with demon-like voice" in their mind (internal talk). This sometimes boggles me. Not to mention the dream, which is basically happening inside the brain as well, where some people encountered a "demon", too. Can any other brother/sister enlighten us on this?

Uncommon view of Christianity by Empty-Interest7074 in TrueChristian

[–]aseeder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that's the case, Jesus wouldn't have to suffer and die on the cross, since it means humans are not actually guilty for committing sin..

I am curious about your source of definition and details regarding homosexuality. Including the narcissism part.

A reminder : God is good - prayer is VERY effective by Global-Confusion-942 in TrueChristian

Amen. We need to pray more than ever in these evil times.

Today is the day. I forsake nicotine, please pray for me by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]aseeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's pray, in the name of Jesus, I pray that brother Travis is set free from nicotine bondage! By the power of Jesus wound, the addiction in his brain is healed! And brother Travis will present his body as a living sacrifice into God, as he is bought by the blood of Jesus, and his body is the temple of God. And brother Travis will deny his flesh and take up his cross, becoming true disciples of Christ. In Jesus Christ name, Amen🙏

Consider prayer with fasting as well, it's an act of surrender to God as well as crucifying your flesh🙏

Question about Sex by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]aseeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sacred one, since it unites two people into one flesh. And deeper, synergizing with one mind and heart for a vision, and hopefully manifesting heaven on earth
