True dat. Many and me including sometimes talk godly like we know Him. Most of the time we don't.It's a mistake when we put God and ourselves on the same level as if we can veto him when we think he is wrong.
Unless that insight and understanding actually comes from prayer?? or. God.And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 AMP
See that's also a problem. Knowing when we are speaking or God is speaking through us. It borders on hilarious if we take it too seriously. "Did I say that or did God?" ?Unless that insight and understanding actually comes from prayer?? or. God.

I believe if we are influenced by scripture daily, and appeal to "our better selves" then God is working through us.
Self interest is often clearly Satan working through us. Not always of course.my self interest here is to improve my thinking and writing skills. I see that as benefitting everyone in the long run. Still my narcissism hovers?
We are complex. None of us are perfect but that is what makes us interesting.
Then it would not be your own understanding. Would it??Unless that insight and understanding actually comes from prayer?? or. God.
Narcissus..
Yeah.. so easy to misunderstand God and each other. So we need to learn to discern. Narcissist: the man who saw his face in the water.. you probably know the story
I too hope to benefit others if I can with the help of God.
It's a thin red line
Ah but the line is not clear and defined. So sometimes it can look like God is speaking through us but actually no.Then it would not be your own understanding. Would it??
True. But God's line is clear and more than defined. Our line is not. A question is: are we truly believing in God. Or are we only believing in our selves. (beliving)Ah but the line is not clear and defined. So sometimes it can look like God is speaking through us but actually no.
Man is most definitely corrupt. ://True. But God's line is clear and more than defined. Our line is not. A question is: are we truly believing in God. Or are we only believing in our selves. (beliving)
Can you answer that question?True. But God's line is clear and more than defined. Our line is not. A question is: are we truly believing in God. Or are we only believing in our selves. (beliving)
This is a good question but also a personal one. Because we each and own have to ask ourselves what do we really. Really believe. Many Christians are delusional.Can you answer that question?
You might say "yes I believe in God" but does really transfer when you are communicating with others?
See I think many of us Christians believe in a concept of God. But how do we know that concept is God?
That concept...Is it really God? Or is just our imagination?
I think you are on a good track. My concern for you Link is that maybe you are choosing a more dogmatic version of Christianity. That's just my view. It's probably none of my business to say that. We are all different. At least you are not escaping into drugs, sex and rock n roll. Well that's how it appears.This is a good question but also a personal one. Because we each and own have to ask ourselves what do we really. Really believe. Many Christians are delusional.
Me including. I mean not always. But we seem to go in and out of faith.
I truly and honestly believe. I have no doubt whatsoever.
But I often find myself delusional. I know it is my own refusal.
I hate this life...
But I praise God anyway
