Who is my brother?

Are you some type of Christian mystic, IFOLLOWHIM? how do you know that anyway?
Did God tell you that he needs to stop hiding? or are you being a nut-head christian?

Don't trust your senses, walk by faith! Don't become a christian mystic!

BTW morefaithrequired is a dead catholic, the only thing he needs to do is believe on Jesus Christ to be saved, only then does he have any light, only then can he not hide!

You hide behind glib humour,but that's ok.
I can see it keeps you from being hurt by others attitudes,words and judgments!
I understand.........that's why I have an ignore list....lol
I see one below you about to go there!
I cannot abide the lack of Jesus's love in some who claim grace and faith!

pretty accurate . glib eh.
yeah it gets old after a while. people tire of me

Well, ive seen peoples lives ruined because of these things, so i thinks its loving to point out to Christians to not be mystics but to walk by faith and being loving requires the use of Judgement, the bible warns against an evil judgment and hypocritical judgment, it doesn't destroy judgment itself though, John 7:24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

Judgment can be a good thing, not always something bad or hateful or unloving.

But in saying this, im not putting you down, i will be careful as you said and God hates evil and hypocrital judgment, i am with you on that, i believe what i wrote is not EVIL but good and loving though.

So i understand your comment, will be careful, thanks for that

You're cool!
Just don't sweat it!
I came for fellowship among those who are of God's household!
They are here,but the ones that blah,blah blah.........make it hard to share!

see blogs section
"why i am a catholic" but there are several hate posts there unfort.

IFOLLOWHIM, is your judgment of this man heart and motives a righteous judgment or an evil judgment? Since only God knows people motives, your claiming things that have no weight to them, you should repent and fear God.

Id rather know why you follow the catholic faith. Every ones story is unique. Not all catholics are the same. Some practice santeria and santa muerte, witchcraft and sorcery. Some are Christian but stay because of tradition and their family background. Youre on a Christian site.. Id like to hear why youre a Catholic?

Test the spirits. Im sure you have heard this scripture. Well how do you suppose this happens?

I tell you we live in a spiritual world. And evryone has a spirit. Theres spirits of anger, lust, division, bitterness, resentment, depression, hurt, murder etc etc.. The Holy Spirit gives us discernment to what a person is opporating under. A born again Christian is to opporate in the Holy Spirit.

So no it is not Christian mysticism, it is the Holy Spirit who leads us to truth, prophecy, discernment, counsel etc. Have you received the Holy Spirit? Im guessing you have not.

Well, brother the verse says to test the spirits, how do we do that? through the word of God and sound reasoning.
The Holy Spirit enlightens us to His own word, hes not directing our lives through feelings though, we are to walk by faith.

oops. i see you dont like mysticism. i suggest you read Mertons Seven Storey Mountain. Its full of the Spirit.

Yes but im pointing out the fact that there are spirits. Its not mysticism to point out someone has hurt or mocking spirit etc.

im just repeating myself from the blog section thread.
Im not a good apologist. we have a huge problem with rogue priests and abuse of power plus disgraceful cover ups. despite this I have a love of catholicism. One huge reason for me is the mystical option. Benedictine monks. The beauty of the Divine office. the beauty and mystery of beautuful stain glasss windows. The art.
I can never get used to a cross without Jesus on it.
ok thats just a start

Ok, but what does that have to do with my original comment? since i said don't be a christians mystic because he was being crazy, right? or i am i wrong?

just to refresh it for you: IFOLLOW said to faithrequired:
Hey i see your heart, why are you hiding..... etc etc...

Did he really? or is that being a nut?

A nut? Is that what you think of Christians? U referred to him as a "Nut-Christian" if I recall.

So I assume you would call me the same. Im a born again Christian. I can see you do not have the Holy Spirit. Does that make me a nut? Or a mystic? Or relying on feelings? Not sure how feelings would apply? But that is just your speculation as to what happens when a person is discerning spirits...

His behavior is called being a nut or being a "christian mystic" people think there special and God's talking to them, but God is only talking to us through His word.

We must discern between the Holy Spirit and our feelings, our hearts are decietful and wicked after all, and yes for saying that i don't have the spirit aka that i don't know God, you indeed are showing nut behavior.

To not have the Spirit is to be not of God, are you saying im damned?
