--- Quote from: MG on August 06, 2006, 03:30:29 PM ---I am sitting here in tears trying to understand who Jesus is. When I first came to bible-truths.com I got knocked off my feet to the point that I was up crying all night and feeling like I needed to throw up. I am not debating and am crushed that you think my questions are trick questions. I am trying to piece this together so I can understand it. I don't understand things the way others do. I put it together in small pieces and then put the whole together to understand.
I did not believe in the Trinity when I got here. I just didn't know what I believed. I have not been a member of a church for 15 years when God started showing me they were teaching lies. There has been no teacher and I've been walking alone. God taught me all about no free will and I am able to understand and accept the teaching of no hell. I can piece that all together.
I am having a hard time piecing together the teaching on Christ. You have judged me unfairly and I still don't understand. I will just take it to God until he shows me. God is my witness that I am not asking trick questions. Let him be my judge and my teacher.

Dear MG,
Please take Michael's apology in the spirit it is given, I remind others (and myself) constantly that sometimes the written word proves to be a very incomplete way of communicating, sometimes things written appear to have more of an edge when read than if you were sitting across from the person where you could hear the voice inflection or see the body language or facial expressions.
Patience is the key for our fellowship, I know that Michael is not accusing you of any ulterior motives, he thought he recognized a time proven "troll" strategy, we all have different levels of understanding and we must see that where I am weak or deficient you may be strong and in abundance and visa versa, this is true of the entire body. Please be patient with all of us as from time to time we will all need this consideration.
His Peace to you, your Brother in Him,
Joe

MG,
You are asking a good question, it means you are thinking. Everyone learns their own way, in their own time. There is no rush to learn these truths today, or even the next day...or the next....please be patient with yourself. You have been led here for a reason, don't get discouraged.
I agree it can be frustrating, it can be a long journey and naturally we desire to know the answers to what is troubling us. But I ask you to remember that God works with us in HIS own time, and in HIS own way and we must be patient.
We ALL go through difficulties absorbing these truths, sometimes people just forget that fact.
I encourage you to post and fellowship, and also to read as much as you can daily.
" Finally, be strong in the lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God...." Eph. 6:10 (you're gonna need it)
Your brother and supporter,
Chuck
MG:
Thank you all.
I'm sorry for overreacting. I should have just explained myself better instead of getting upset.
My faith is all I have and my very survival depends on it. It has been shaken and I'm feeling a little desperate for answers. God has never let me down and I know he'll get me through this.
Hugs,
MG

MG,
I am very happy to see you back, you are a valued member here and we want to learn more of Him together with you.
Please be patient with us as we strive for this goal, we all have times where some days are better than others. I have learned when I experience this feeling of separation or whatever one wants to call it, it is better for me to be still, be patient and seek His wisdom even more fervently.
His Peace to you,
Joe

someone said Jesus, the WORD wasn't created... thats not true.
Revalations declares he was the BEGINNING of GODS CREATION. He was the FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE.
Revelation 3:14 <b>And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the <u>beginning of THE CREATION of God;</u></b>"
The faithful and true witness the AMEN is CHRIST JESUS THE WORD.
God bless,
Alex
