I am somewhat familiar with "Etherwaves" as I called them. Still not sure what that stuff is all about, but I'm pretty sure it's the enemy and I would be incredibly leery about delving too deeply. "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Prov...

I am in a Tl;dr mood I'll be honest. Don't get dejected entirely from people receiving you. I'll make an effort to try to "feel" what is being said later. If you are certain that it is the Lord's will for this to be your last then so be it. I was beginning to gauge you but it requires a good...

Do you really think that this local body that you are a part of is the only place on earth where you can be? Picking up your cross is about sacrifices. Sure leaving your friends and relationships will hurt at first and require adjustment but adjustment is certainly possible. besides, it's...

You know that this is a Christian site right? A finite being that surmises that because something cannot be grasped by it then that thing therefore is not a reality seems "illogical" when our knowledge is finite. Nothing could be more logical that scripture "could" be true due to the limitations...

Or no one has an answer for you but the Lord and you need to be patient. At least you made an effort to avail yourself of available resources and there is sound wisdom in that. Sometimes he does indeed confirm a sort of "vagueness" when I seek out the opinion of others. If it echoes the same...

While I don't agree that we are to simply focus on the propitiation solely, it is good to see you interacting. Personally, I think believing in the son is a work we are called to as believers. The work of the cross is definitely the crucial component but there are so many more elements to apply...

I've probably wasted a year of my life on video games. Don't tear yourself apart about it but make changes. You haven't "lost" yourself in video games. Or at least for me, it was about escapism among other things. There's definitely a self-loathing that goes along with wasted time...

I will tell you that I haven't ever felt like I've done anything wrong by going out and losing myself in creation. It has a dual function of loving the Lord with your strength and the many scriptural benefits of observing invisible attributes manifest in what has been made. Basically, your...

Prophetic utterances are in accord with the will of the Word and, in David's case it seems, a living relationship. I read the majority of Psalms as contending for the Word. Pursuing righteousness and his will even when everything is seemingly against a person. EVEN when based off our situation...

@evyaniy the way you are writing is coming across as "the ubermensch" that he ascended to become God. That he had to fulfill everything in order to rise from the dead as a sort of check list or "becoming". I'm not suggesting that you believe this way but I think the confusion is coming from...

I'm "cautiously" open to whatever the Lord has in this area. Ideally around my own age. It'd be strange at first for someone to be older than me (as with taller) but if it's the Lord...I'm confident I'll get over it "mostly" ;) It would probably take adjustment in my own self, as with many...

Line upon line... This is something that has taken me until the past year or so to see filled in considerably. With increasing opportunities to compromise in the smallest of things, from ideology to entertainment, I try and find ways to navigate. However, every time I do and try to create a...

There are just "too many" Christian Universities. I went to Southeastern University (Lakeland, Fl) and there's just not a whole lot you can draw from even being a student there that I would want to donate money to such a venture. I'm inclined myself to take a look at exceptions when it comes...

Lol I thought of your pic when I saw that. @Op it is quite interesting how arbitrary English can be. This "line" of thinking only seems to work in English as far as I can tell. I haven't studied Hebrew, but supposedly there are many intricacies in how something is said that can be lost on us...

Can you provide the reference in Isaiah? There have been more than a few times I've wondered about the wording. I think it's likely that I won't be ever able to fully understand the shadow of the past, and when I get some really wonky idea about it, I just stop and focus on what I already...

It is entirely possible that simple responses can be easily misunderstood. I didn't find @Dino246 's comment incendiary I've posted in many different moods and it's amazing how different each can affect me when interacting with blunt replies. Or at least they "seem" blunt. It is exceptionally...

I can't really think of a super safe way to penpal these days. Safe enough if you don't live alone and can afford a private mailbox at a local postal facility though. I'd recommend that. I don't fit the criteria but penpaling is a pretty cool thing and so few people do it. I pray for safety...

Well wrath is definitely a thing in both the new and old covenants. Wrath + vengeance = justice?

Well have you tried watching a symphony of a half remembered song with no volume to see what the mind creates? It amazes me personally what fills in with reasonable accuracy. Typically I'd have to be pretty tired and experiencing some delirium from sleep deprivation, or white noise in addition...

What do you mean by keep with you? I find it odd to consider parting with any scripture. Too open ended of a hypothetical. Certainly in some of my hardest moments I may cling to a particular verse but this varies. Romans 8:28 comes up a lot in my life. Recently it came up twice as I was...
