Ok guys. Maybe you are a little thick or just want to live in fairy land.
The whole psychiatric profession exists because part of our social experience is
various mental illnesses. There have been strategies over the years to deal with
the biological and developmental effects of these conditions.
Now amongst all this the Lord works, healing, restoring, making mature and whole
men and women of God, built on the firm foundation of Jesus and His commands.
Now if you have had dealings with people who have flaws in who they are which
result from trauma, or genetics or some unknown cause they often go into total
denial, continually fight their medication, because rather than seeing this as a help
with a physical weakness, they see it as a criticism of who they are.
It is said 25% of people will have a serious episode with emotional mental breakdown
in their lives, so this is no minor, sweep under the carpet issue.
Now it is one thing so say a caring suggestion for help is miss-placed, the person is
coping fine and another to call that person deluded, and then push some christian
language which implies they do not know the Lord.
If you guys want an adult faith in the real world, to grapple with difficult issues you
will have to wake up and understand we are frail creatures who need all the help we
can get, and if it helps, Amen, if not, we move on.
Our churches are full of people who are bipolar, schizophrenic, depressives etc like any
community and they need as much recognition and support as any other group with
various weaknesses and needs. Often people are so afraid to admit their history, no one
knows how difficult things are behind the scenes.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are.
Our Maker will manifest Himself in any manner He pleases.
What pleases our Maker pleases us all who believe.
Now if you are asking about the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit when you use the reference, Trinity, the answer to you faithless question is True.

Hi and greetings and now for my new poll...
It just occured to me that if where holy spirit indwelled then the holy spirit should know when we're tempted to hate or sin coz of denomic influence.
1. Surely at that point we must not follow through ? (with sinning, no we should not my addition)
2. And speak that jibe or that ill reward comment ? James 3 says take our tongues
3. Now maybe to some questions are overboard like demanding the truth is demanding sin ? No I like questions,God never told me they were a sin. He has told,me to be still and quiet and watch sometimes because I talk too much.
4. To the question Does the holy spirit convict us before we sin. ? Sometimes he does, but I don't always listen. I know he has warned me and I stopped but I suspect he always does but I don't always stop and pray.
may you all be blessed by this and may you all deliver some fruits

The content is making reference to the question being asked by one who does not believe, otherwie they would not need to ask if the Three persons of the Father may be referred to as teh Trinity.
The rest of teh post explains it even more.
If a person does nto know the word, Trinity, is a handy reference to the three persons of God, and they have not a clue what trinity means, then perhaps he is not faithless, however if the person is asking knowing what it refers to........etc.....now do you understand what you are reading? I realize English is perhaps your second or even third language so it is understandable that your having a problem with it is not unusual. I speak not Tagalog or the other languages of teh Phil. So you are far ahead of me.
God bless you.....

Hey, Ariel, is that you? I just saw I am in the wrong thread, and that is just wrong. Please forgive my vision problems. I will cut and paste into the correct one if I can see it....God bless you always...j
Don't feel stupid..,i take an honest mistake over covert malice any day.
In a strange way this statement implies I am not being open and honest.It makes me laugh the somersaults of logic people have to go through to make a meaningless
point.
The great freeing thing about being open and honest you can speak the truth, and the impact
is largely up to the listeners. Nothing is done for effect it is just what it is.
Lots of people here are here for various reasons, but to say honestly it is not clear sometimes
as to why. The history of many is heart breaking and humbles me at the blessing I have had
in my life. Unfortunately sometimes to survive in these difficult situations we become very self
sufficient, which makes it hard to let the guard down and let the Lord and others in.
My experience of the Holy Spirit is His still small voice of love and reassurance. There is no fear
or hurt here, only healing, and listening, openness and the ability to take us forward.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Eph 3:16-19
I am sorry you feel this way. How much experience have you had with people with
stability issues? Sometimes there is a time to just simple state what is real and what is
not. They unfortunately construct a world for themselves which matches something they
have a conviction about, but encouraging such ideas does not help them.
This current interaction with various people has gone pear shaped if you touch on an area
they are sensitive about, then one is a terrible person in some way.
You accused me of some bad things.
1. Being cruel
2. Baiting
3. Being insincere
4. Not caring about myself
No for a large time Jim and myself took similar lines, talking about walking in faith
demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit. Yesterday he had a wobble, and I was the
reason for some unknown reason. And I wish him well.
I have a good friend who is bi-polar who came to the Lord and is coming to terms
with their condition, and sometimes it is hard. Medication bring some stability, and
their is discussion in the community about stability through mood balancing outside
medication.
For some to admit these conditions are just like diabetes, or some immune illness, is
a big step, but in reality it is the truth. Moods and perception we have some influence
over, but this is always a balancing act.
Now maybe for some to understand life this far is too challenging, but it is a reality I have
had to come to face. But all I can say, is God bless you, and I pray that your family and
friends are spared these type of dilemmas.

A triangle is a common shape, it is the strongest structure you can create.
And the eye is often used to convey seeing things, understanding stuff etc.
So why read in meaning in a particular way unless you are sure it is significant.
And to be honest, people put symbols all over the place but they have no claim
either to the symbol or the thing they post it on, yet here you are reading in
this very thing.

I thought maybe that the symbol was a distortion of light until I googled. Wish I hadn't.
Looking at the history of the symbol though...it may of started out innocently..not sure, but since a stigma is associated with it, Hillsong should not have it on stage.
I hope our money is innocent but the new world order is infiltration.
