The Uplifting Christian Thread

Post Reply New Topic

I was just talking to someone about faith a little while ago and there isn't anything "logical" about it and that's why I think that Aspies have a harder time being religious. I see everything around me as miraculous. An example- like the physiology of how everything happens in the human body and how there are tons of things scientists have no explanation of how it works. We are all just lumps of meat, but we all have completely different personalities and then what about feelings? Scientists haven't even come close to figuring out the brain. I have a hard time thinking it happened with the Big Bang.

I mean, that is essentially what evolution (in my opinion) successfully explains. The 'chance' of us being who we are (I know) is a very heated issue. One that Berkeley himself tried to explain by stating that we don't even exist, and that it is through the mind of god that we exist (which isn't possible). So do you believe in Jesus himself? Like the way he is depicted in the bible? And if so, why don't you believe in other gods that are spoken about in other Religious texts? What is it about Jesus that makes it so 'believable'? Thanks!

My faith has helped and gave me strength.

Now it is there for my 90+ father in law. He is in rehab following a stay in the hospital for pneumonia .

Praising The Lord for what I have
And for what I don't.

In the Bible it says you shouldn't have any other gods besides Jesus (God).

I have a lot of questions myself and lack faith at times. The apostles had it somewhat easy in that they saw Jesus do miracles. We have to have blind faith.

It may be weird but if feel comforted that even those thst seen Jesus and were close to him
A. Denied him
B. Used curse words
C. Wanted to see the wounds
D. Were scolded - Yea of little faith.

I'm drawn to the parable of the mustard seed.
On my reading table

Mark & Revelation

It would seem more logical to have Daniel in the pair but so goes it.
Sometimes I imagine Abraham debating with God about Americs. If there are 50 Righteous people would you save this land.

But I digress.
My brain and heart are overloaded with political adds that screech in my ear and medical issues in the family that I get to be part of the support.

OY to the world good will to men(and women)

Shalom, Brother Laugh.

Hi all I am a married lady in my late 40's with one amazing husband and three amazing teenager daughters. I have been a born again christian for 30's this month. In fact my whole adult life. I can see with retrospectively how God has looked after me in my teen years which for all teenages can be confusing and stressful. Especially those who have autism. I went to a girls school in secondary education and all girls course at college. Follow by becoming a christian at 18 years old with my amazing first church full of people who cared for me. I was never interested in boys as I never had any contact with them before hitting 18 years old. I use to hang around with the other young men in the church feeling complementary confident and safe. I use to hang around with my brother alot as he lead me to christ. When I was 23 years old I went on my first date?! After my friend told me this young man wanted to go out with me. He had follow me around all day. I had one date and then he went to Israel and I never saw him again.
I then met a young man with his university friends at a bible week. My best friend had met him the week before and she talked to him and told him about me and I was interested in StarWars and StarTrek. I spent the week with him and his friends and I had no idea he liked me. In fact I nearly blew the whole thing by hugging my brother and the end of the week and he thought my brother was my boyfriend. We exchange address and I thought how nice he wanted to write to me. We got writing and we met up where he was study. We went to see a film and he wanted to hold my hand yuck! We then wrote alot of letter and the visits increase between us.
The crunch came when he came down for my friend's bday and my friend asked if we were going out or no. I then gave him the third degree as I didn't want to be messed with. Poor guy should I run away! The long shot of this story is now we have been married for over 22 years and have 3 teenage children. Life has had its up and downs and certainly not a bed of roses (roses have thorns). I am in a church small but perfectly formed where I am loved for who I am and I love them in return. God has been very good.

I am wondering if I am a high functioning austic woman after the possibility (brought up at school) that my middle
daughter may be one too. I have been researching into this and have build up a good knowledge of what it means. To me it does me God didn't made a mistake when he made me as he made me and knew me before I was born.
I never saw this coming but then I never saw alot of things coming. Are you glad you didn't know as most of us would have not wanted to know. All I know and believe that God is good All the time God is good. Amen

Respectfully, the van Impe's have been pro-Catholic, at times.

I hate hate HATE Jack Van Impe! Just typing the name makes my skin crawl. I used to watch the show in the early 2000's just because there was nothing else on I was curious but he terrifies me the whole show terrifies me it's nothing but doom but everything will be just fine if we pray yeah right and the woman is a creepy glassy-eyed bimbo I hate them and their doomsaying creepy unrealistic optimism and basically they're telling me I'm going to hell for not being religious. You wonder why so people are negative about Christian religion well there's your answer.

I'm so creeped out and upset right now I can't even use commas.

You've just said they were doom-obsessed and unrealistically-positive, in the same paragraph (without commas.)

They say the world itself would never end, and believers would escape judgment, if not persecution. They have also, repeatedly expressed their gratitude for our living conditions, which, while turbulent, at times, still include food and basic amenities.

This is just an interpretation.

The Club of Rome has 10 bio-regions on 7 continents.

The Bible describes 10 horns on 7 heads.

But the Qaran says to only worship Mohammed. Why are you listening specifically to the Bible? What evidence is there that says THAT is the correct religious text?

Is there an acceptable standard of proof, which does not involve an all-powerful being, granting your wishes.

CAN WE EVEN HAVE A THREAD ON THIS FORUM THAT DOESN'T GET TRASHED BY SOMEONE???????????????! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

This thread was made for Christians to talk about Christian things - not any other religions. . We have other threads for that.

While not uplifting, per se, Dimitru Duduman and Rick Coombes said that America was Mystery Babylon, for being the main, financial superpower and epicenter of apostasy, in the way of illicit sex, drugs, sorcery, and rebelliousness, in general -- the military hammer of all the Earth.

It has been speculated that the downfall of the one, exceptionalist nation (prophesied to happen in only one hour) is necessary before a sort of egalitarian world peace can be declared, under the auspices of multipolarism.
