                                               Hello to all and thanks for your response


Hi Dave, I never witness to anyone concerning God because I understand what most people believe about God, like most are going to hell and we all have free will, so when anyone ask me what I think about God I never tell them the truths I have learned here at B.T. but rather say you should checkout this web site L ray Smith exposing those who contradict and always say read the lake of fire series and let me know what you think.

I always enjoy the positive feed back I get from people I mention the site to and I know this site can give these people a much better understanding than I can. I remember reading something Ray had said about people who come to this site and learn a few truths then want to take their pastor on and Ray said they will eat you alive so I don’t witness I let Ray do that its better that way.
                                                             
                                                            To lilitalienboil16 and Stacey

 Both of your responses are awesome because 16 had said Look a little further down and I like how Stacey says it  ( if you want to take the least amongst us trophy home ) I just want you both to know how much that means to me as I perceive you two have been where I am now. Thanks for sharing.                                           


                                                                Hi Rhys,

 I understand what your saying to me but I’m not there where you are at this time but I do appreciate you comment very much as your words let me know one day I won’t vent over such things either but I know that won’t happen until Gods time for me. Thanks again Rhys much appreciated.                                             

                                                           Hi Dennis,

 Thanks for your response and yes I will not judge God over these things, I do understand they are there for my learning and understanding. Please don’t laugh at me but I’m not sure yet what God wants me to see in all these things. I know all is of God but I don’t understand all of what God is doing except that God knows best and I don’t .
                                                                 

                                                                      To Kat                                                     

                                                               
 I always appreciate all your responses to my threads as well as my pm to you, the wisdom you share with me always warms my heart and leaves me with a peaceful easiness that lets me know I’m on the right road . Thanks again Kat for all your help.


Hayley and Arion, Thank you both also for your responses and I would like to say that no response is a wasted response for with each one I do learn something new and that’s what being here is about.



Thank you all and may peace and love follow you all each and every day.    :)

I've tried that venting bit Rick - your stone is being removed ..... so rejoice, some call it Independence day Im told and this can happen while days are still dark or according to Acts 2 early in the morning

John 20 - Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

It's encouraging to know that we're all on the same path but some are further ahead and have already encountered the obstacles that slow us down.  Thank you all that I can be lifted up from what you have to say whether it's venting, praise or words of encoursagment.

I tried a beer over the weekend and I didn't like it!  Actually, it seems that post BT, the beast within me is getting more active.  Formerly, I worked hard at being a Christian, I had an image to project.  I had to be different from those who were not saved.  Now I see that I am not different, I am as corrupt as this corrupt world, as debased as the next person.  And I can't even choose to be different even if I tried.  I've given up trying. :(  Its freeing in a way, but at times I feel that I'm just being carried away on the tide of humanity and its frightening - like getting lost.  And I have to remind myself that God has his eye on me and He will not loose me, just as He will everybody.

I think the free'ing revelation in seeing yourself as the beast within is that you no longer think you're better than everyone else. You realize that you're apart of the human condition, the sickness that makes all humanity morally void. It opens up a whole new perspective on the world, your neighbor, your brother and sister, your father and mother, your children, your loved ones and your enemies. There is not one righteousness, there is none good save God. Salvation is not a thing of works earned by one or another but rather a free gift through the another free gift known as faith. It isnt even our faith either, its the faith of the Son in us.

This evil experience is indeed humbling, it hurts when you realize you're absolutely useless against the beast. The beast was given power over the saints to overcome them! There is nothing you can do to defeat the beast, he has power over you by the divine wisdom of God foreordained before the world began. Christ will eventually destroy the beast completely but it takes time. Godly characteristics take time to develop. Patients is something that can only exist if you are WAITING. Waiting by definition occurs through a period of time. Longsuffering! Whats worse is when the beast takes full reign and indulges in the carnal flesh convincing you to embrace its lust. That's the worst because then you are completely given to the ways of the flesh.

We are not without hope though. The beauty of it all is the transforming of humanity into His image. Humanity will become apart of the family of God. We will see Him as He is because we will be like Him. I think maybe that's why we have such a hard time understanding God, Jesus, Lord, Father, One, Greater than etc.. because we are not like Him yet so we do not see Him as He is. All this is absolutely necessary though if we want to be children of God, sons and daughters possessing immortality. Who knows what the future holds beyond that point. Paul said that no eye has seen or ear heard, nor entered the heart of man the things God has waiting for us.

If only we could imagine what is yet to come, I can't even began to glimpse what a marvelous existence awaits us beyond these broken bodies.
