Do you make a practice of judging the faith of others?

Is the scripture that gives you the authority to judge others anywhere near the scripture telling us that grounding/earthing comes from Jesus?
I'm sorry brother Prov910 that my thread got taken out of hand. And as for "lack of faith" for not being "grounded in the Savior" by walking barefoot, that's just nonsense. :rolleyes: I certainly don't consider it a spiritual thing. I was just interested in any health benefits, that's all.

Thank you for adding to the discussion brother Prov910. Blessings to you, dear.

You know, I've never claimed there *aren't* health benefits to grounding/earthing. If others had read my posts I said that perhaps there are health benefits. It's just that the amount of electrical energy passing between the earth and a person's feet is tiny to the point of being minuscule. So I question whether it's being "grounded" by skin contact with the earth that results in the purported health benefits. And the mere fact that I would dare to raise such questions apparently causes others to question my faith in God. Go figure. :shrug:

I know, I just read through the thread and saw that you did contribute that info. Have a great weekend! :)

I came late to this thread, and I have not read all the responses, so please excuse me if what I say has already been mentioned.

Grounding is about 'returning back to earth (ground). It is about re-connecting with a deeper reality of who we are as a human organism walking on this planet. It has profound spiritual and psychological implications, much like pressing the rest/default button in our biological system.

IT IS HUMBLING. The word humble comes from the word humus, which means earth/ground.
Humbling is about returning to earth (not in some mental cloud of self importance).

There is a famous Japanese garden with a tea-house. Many important meetings, even for international politics, have been held in this tea house. To gain access to it is to go through a very low opening in which requires a person to crawl on their hands and knees. Those attending the meeting will also realize that they must return the same way. This 'grounds' all the people, for a while anyway, to the same level.

TY for sharing such an informative and interesting Post, it takes a special kind of person
to understand the ways of Yeshua and how He relates them to us who are not pre-occupied
by the distracting ways of this fallen--world...

An interesting share, the tea-house. One of our sons was telling abt an article he read in a magazine a while ago. Unfortunately he cannot remember the magazine, name of place referred to, where exactly! Anyway, said there's a (new?) spot where ppl can go for a break or vacation for a certain minimum time, where you have to leave ur car a fair distance to the camp of sorts and walk to the place (barefoot?). You have to surrender ur gadgets at the entrance, and live in nature without tv, radio etc. The idea may be an old one for the mystics, new agers who like to go free in nature, others, but for the believer who wants to meet God w/o technical distractions of our time, it may be a good way to retreat and experience Him when we get very tired of man-made attractions and leisure activities. An aferthought.. it may also be a way to help us understand and remember other people, even Christians who go barefoot in mountains or remote places, poor people who still want to walk with the Spirit, in simple communities or war-torn countries where we have never been to.

Amazing?? You all are!

I really saw a grandfather taking his grandson along (i interviewed him) coz there was no one to babysit, and the child was barefoot as they rode a jeepney. The image of children and people w/o shoes or slippers was in mind when i thought of things being destroyed in war zones... Did i say technical distractions??

Someone just posted a video on social media about grounding/earthing. I've never heard of it before. The man in the video explains that going barefoot outdoors is advantageous because we become electrically connected to the earth. Is there any bonifide evidence to support grounding being beneficial to our health? Does it really strengthen our immune system and heal inflammation? Or have I just been hornswoggled by some overzealous nature lovers? :confused:

In South Africa, kids are encouraged to go to school barefoot up to grade 8 (13 years old).

this makes we wonder how many have had the beautiful experience of laying their bodies
down upon the surface of the earth in some way in an effort to 'feel' it's breath of life?
it's such an over-whelming, instinctual desire to 'connect with our Maker',
The Giver and Taker of all we possess...

a unique experience to say the least, and such an honor, not to mention the gratification that
it fills and strengthens us with!!!

When you ground you discharge positive electrons to the earth, which is negatively charged and the reason why you feel so relaxed on the grass or under a shower. Have a look at the doco on youtube called "Resonance, beings of frequency" which also talks about the pulse of the earth or Schuman Frequency at 7.83Hz which is close to our brain waves and therefore very important for our health. Our bodies run on four pico amphere so on a very low electrical reason and that's why we can use EEG and ECG as our are 70% water and conductive. Your brains and heart are the two strongest electrical units and despite the invention of Nicola Tesla, our nerve endings are not designed to handle electricity very well. He got so sensitised that he had to have rubber shoes under his bed legs as he could not handle a ticking watch three bedrooms down the hall way but he, had had exposed himself way too much. I have clients that suffer from microwave illness or electro hyper sensitivity and earthing helps them dramatically as the symptoms are simular to fibro myalgia. Main players of this condition are the build up of heavy metals in the tissues (conductive) as well as adrenal fatigue syndrome. In the end its all about the nerve endings. EMF opens the VGCC (Voltage Gated Calcium Channels) resulting in oxidative stress and 1 or 2 strand DNA damage. My wife got healed three years ago of her cancer after I implemented what I had learned in my training as a Building Geobiologist specialized in radiation protection. After we took out the wifi and the ELF's in the bedroom wall she healed up in 2,5 weeks and her back stopped weeping as the CTC blood test had showed that her Melatonin production was impaired and her DNA damaged. Doctors know that if you give Tamoxifen to breast cancer patients who live in high EMF that is doesn't work properly. If you are interested in the subject download the 1557 page Bio-Initiave Report 2012 online which has 40 yrs of independent studies or look for the 1971 NMRI declassified papers from US Navi that linked 120 illnesses to microwave radiation. Be careful with earthing sheets as they will act liie a big antenna and if your bedroom is not properly shielded you will attract more radiation to you jut like standing in a drafty hall way and it can cause heart palpitations etc. Check out Geovital if you like. We have been specialized in radiation protection and environmental medicine since 1982. God bless.
