I was a slave to crime drugs and depression for 20 years I almost had enough such was the hopelessness I felt suicide was enticing . Ran around the mountain a few times doing rehabs to no avail . I felt compelled to repent for my wrong doings and accepted jesus as my saviour with the help of a rehab chaplain now the lord most high is my rock and fortress and sobriety is a breeze such is his love for me he died for my peace and freedom from depressed thoughts lies of the enemy which I squash beneath my feat as I proclaim the blood of Jesus . God never allows us to go so far backsliding to return to him I ran a life of debauchery and sin before I knew god yet his grace was ever present in my life and left a trail of bread crumbs for me to return which is the repentance part baptised in the Holy Spirit accepting jesus as lord and saviour which is how we connect to the trinity cause Christ was flesh once it our gateway to the gifts if you seek it or ascend the heavinly realm push deeper trust in him .
i notice this is almost exactly the same as the post in your suggestion thread where you are asking for money to go to a Christian collage

I'm finding that a bit odd...that and the way you mix up and make a mash up of unfinished thoughts from scripture

getting curious about your posting

guess time will tell

so God never tests anyone?

people do not go through trials?

real faith vs mere belief

this is one confusing post there eg

ps...I really do not understand what it is you believe exactly because you seem to contradict yourself with what you write

I'm not really asking either. it's just confusing what you wrote concerning faith and belief.
Does God know or not?

Does he do it for our benefit or for his own?

Make it simple for you say sorry to gods son then do the right thing = saved if you add a little more good deeds bringing people to church proclaiming the word for god = appostle/gifts of healing . Add self sacrifice humility putting yourself below others the ultimate gentleman you will be seated high in heaven.

I’m on my iPhone so limits my typing capacity cut paste is win. Pentecostal I believe in the spirit and our battle is spiritual not carnal of the flesh gods word should come from our heart not head very hard to convey that in typing. I experienced miracles in the short walk I have had as a born again Christian I don’t question the rhema or doubt it . I love expansion on things insight thought provoking material . Their is no condemnation in christ. Maybe one day I’ll get on the computer and quote some scriptures with some theology bit of head stuff added I’ll make you proud one day.....?????? love ya brother you allowed to be curious.

This year is the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.

Why did we, as evangelical Protestants, separate from the Roman Catholic Church?

There are two major reasons:

1) sola Scriptura - Scripture is the sole rule of faith, and not Scripture and tradition interpreted by the Roman Catholic church
2) sola Fide - Justification is by FAITH ALONE, and not faith plus works, including the sacraments. This concept of faith alone
includes the concept of imputed righteousness, or forensic righteousness.

The Five Solas are associated with the Reformation :

Solus Christus - Christ Alone
Sola Fide - Faith Alone
Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone...
Sola Gratia - Grace Alone
Soli Deo Gloria - Glory to God alone

Do you know the Five Solas, and what justification by faith alone, and imputed righteousness means? Do you agree with them?
You lost it in 325 AD at the Consul of Nieces or what ever it was called but a lot of the denominational churches still look Catholic on the in side.some still have statues which is a sign of paganism.

I'm sorry to tell you, Catholics and Christians are the same. They changed the Sabbath to Sunday, they said you can eat whatever you want, they told you the laws and commandments were done away with, and they acknowledge every pagan holiday.

You are mistaken. There are many Christians from the Apostles all through time to this present day that keep God's Sabbath and through faith all of God's Word. Only Christians that follow God's Word are the Word of God followers and God's true people (Revelations 12:17; 14:12; 22:14; 1John 3:3-9; James 2:8-12; 1John 2:2-4)

May God bless you are you seek him through His Word

What is ...from the Apostles all through time to this present day? Sounds like what the Catholics must call apostolic succession as if we were to think of the apostles above that which is written .

It is the outward Jews according to the flesh that have not been born again they made the changes... making the true fast to no effect so that they can follow the law of the fathers as a tradition of men. It provides a false zeal for knowing Christ. The new era of Sabbaths is on the first day of the week .

Your comment above only shows you do not know the Word of God and follow the traditions of your mother who sits on the beast with 10 horns. As the mother so is the daughter. All that knowingly follow them over the Word of God do not know God's Word. In times of ignorance God winks at but now commands all men everywhere to repent.

Fear God and give glory to him because the hour of His Judgement has come. If any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Many are called but few are chosen. The way is narrow, many cannot find it. How will you find the way when you cannot see? The mirror shows the way for the blind to see. Can you hear His voice? He stands at the door and knocks. Who will let him in?
