Um so this thread is open for random discussions about stuff (like the bible or the theological discussion). Pretty much, if you got something you want to share or talk about but don't want to start a whole new thread for....post em here!

Of course, you can still talk about anything I can't stop you on that :rolleyes:

Warning: No trolls allowed!!! :cool: Haha!

The Lord fills me and also convicts me. The more I know the Lord, the more wisdom He gives me, I find interestingly enough that I also become ignorant of other things. It is almost as if God sought me to have the same innocence as Adam and Eve before they strove against Him for the sake of knowledge. Note it is not that I do not learn everyday; but rather it becomes that things begin to make sense as if by automation - as if by design of the wisdom of the Lord. Think of how we learn math. We learn all the steps of how to solve the most complex problems, and therefore our minds us trained to take all those steps, taking up the space of many sheets of paper (or memory). Then we somehow, by inspiration, find a great shortcut which can solve the problem with a lone thought. The more this kind of solution is used, I may become again ignorant of the understanding of the full process. It seems right to the Lord that our minds are not wasting time figuring out what has been solved, but rather that we use the solution given us to solve many problems. So therefore I find that when I sought to know the whole process of God's salvation, it was only good in that I would be able to inform others who sought to go that path that they already have the solution and there is little need to again go back and try to find the long form solution. For now God's grace, the solution, Jesus Christ, has already solved that problem. Therefore we should seek to provide the shortcut and not cause others to stumble by adding to the equation.

The Lord speaks as He will to me, and it requires not much consideration at all, except that I acknowledge His voice that it becomes His and not my own.

And it is necessary to pay attention that inspiration is not interrupted by that which seems good to say, but it is not from Him. For His inspiration comes from nothing and becomes something, but the preemptive thoughts might betray the mind in whom those thoughts are conceived. Therefore it is good to be mentally Ashley and aware for that purpose, to weed out the unnecessary as it is exposed.

And also to note that to beware of smart phones which turn insight into foolishness by inserting typos such as "Ashley" in the middle of a speech!

I wonder if God made so many (strange) animals just because he could, or if he had a particular reason for each one.

This thread should be under 'Miscellaneous' because that's what it is.

We had an interesting conversation in the lounge about disciplining children. I wonder how to do it in the best Biblical way possible? I imagine it's different per child, since I have none I only know a little, but the best way to do it in love... Because a child can get emotionally messed up from too harsh discipline or not knowing why they're disciplined.... Hm...

Proverbs 13:24 says "Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him". Every child is unique, some respond well to spanking while others don’t. I think one should try different age-appropriate discipline techniques, see what works best for the child and be consistent with it. Discipline should never be done out of anger but tenderness and love to instil godly character that they may grow up with (Proverbs 22:6). Implement positive reinforcements when they do the right thing; for example when they clean up their toys, give them reward stickers, compliments, and/or more privileges to encourage them to continue good behaviour. Also, since children are very good at imitating behaviours of others around it's important for parents and caregivers to set good example for them. :)
