The Official Seeking Jesus Christ in 2022 Thread

[MikelArteta]

stay strong my brothers, I really think its pertinent to give up things that draw you away from righteousness. Be careful what ytou watch, what you listen to, what you think. Keep pushing brehs

 

[MikelArteta]

I've been getting more into my word and its crazy the things i'm picking up that I missed when I never meditated Selah.

Look at Noah, Job and Joseph and the israelites held in captivity. All had a very close connection with God, all cried out but it took awhile. I was reading Genesis about Noah and it said After so many days God Remembered Noah, but it wasn't right away what Noah wanted he got, like it took a while later then God Blessed Noah. Same with Job, job cried out and cried out and cried out and it wasn't till way long after God remembered Job.

Same with Joseph and smae with the Israelite. I even applied it to my life, I remember for years praying for a Christian proverbs 31 type woman and for a good career and it just seemed impossible at time but I still kept on praying, and God remembered me, even though all the sin that encompassed me.

God is good brehs, never stop praying, never stop believing, never stop having faith, he will remember you one day

Amazing to me that people grasp onto these holy books.

If G-d was all about rewarding the downtrodden.... Why are there downtrodden?

Why build this nightmarish world for us to suffer through on the way to eternal bliss? Why not just eternal bliss from the dikc?

Logic dictates that the misery on Earth as well as the eternal misery of Hell is on purpose... if you imagine G-d as a human-like personality. Kinda twisted.

Instead, I recognize the G-d is just the Universe itself. There's butterflies and hot chicks as well as volcanoes and AIDS.

ALL OF IT COMES FROM G-D

G-d made the devil, for instance. Even if G-d didn't know (think about that for a sec.. how could G-d NOT know..) the devil would become the devil, G-d could just disappear the devil instantly...

RIGHT?

I go to churh, been baptised, pray in Jesus' name and the whole shot. But simultaneously I am a scientist and a scholar. I never overlook FACTS because of myths.

To sum it up. G-d is real. G-d is everything around you and everything there is but that includes the bullshyt that you despise.

Now. Yell at G-d all you want to remove the bad stuff, but that's in vain.

So don't be stupid. Recognize that G-d is the end all be all but G-d is not Santa Claus.

Why does bad stuff exist? The oldest question of all time. You still gotta give all praise due.

The most important thing: Air. It's everywhere. The second most: water. Falls from the sky every few days. So what can you complain about. Just be grateful for what you get.

God gives everyone free will. Even the angels had free will which is why Satan..., Adam and eve had free will, and so do you and I

Why do bad stuff happen? it's called life, the blessings and turmoil falls on the righteous and the wicked. you can go through the bible look at Joseph, beaten up by his own brothers and sold into slavery, worked his way up and a false accusation had him seated in Jail, Israelites God chosen people 400 years of slavery yet they cried out every day. Even Jesus the Son of God was beaten and bruised, People who had a personal connection with God and performed miracles had their head chopped off, fed to lions, stoned, hanged.

This is earth, wicked old earth, Thank God that life isn't eternal on this wicked place. We all will die, could be tomorrow could be 60 years from now

SOHH you're quadruple OOOOG of your hood. You invite me to come there.

Not one nickel bag moves without your say so.

Niqqas beat me and rob me.

Who's to blame?

Even if you claim that it was out of your control, I would say if you couldn't protect me why invite me here? If this was not your will, then why aren't you punishing the robbers?

So in this metaphor G-d just

"Mysterious ways Breh"

i recommended everyone in here to check out this book it is a great read, helped me get a much better understanding of myself as a follower of Christ

Jesus glorified the Father in everything he did...

He was the pattern in which every human should follow... he never judged, he never fell victim to anger, lust nor gluttony. He was kind, friendly, forgiving, social... all he did was go around encouraging & doing good for others.

His Will became God's Will... which is to just simply love each other... if people honestly just loved the next person there would be no need for "laws" & "systems" that do nothing but separate us...

Christ was all about Oneness... that all are one creation under one God... all different expressions of God's indescribable personality yet all Men do is create things that separate us from eachother...

Life before "The Fall" all existed in a state of Unity amongst eachother... it wasn't until Souls started seeing eachother as different that original Sin came into Being. Jesus descended to this Universe to show Souls who had forgotten their past their way back to God... he led by example...

People believe knowing or believing is enough but knowledge not applied does nothing...

Jesus will always be the ONE Soul that created a bridge back to God... none before him... he is our brother in light that all should strive to be like... yet he gave God all the glory...

"The Father works through me... if you know me, you know the Father."

God is Love... & in a world full of hate & separation it's difficult to fathom but the truth is the truth...

Pray to God... but honor Jesus...

Love you for this bruh. Long story short, you laid out a lot of puzzle pieces in this explanation that resonated with my heart, soul and mind. Rep.

Lets talk about tithing brehs. Do you tithe 10% of you paycheck?

 

[Afrodroid]

Thank God i discovered long ago how things in this world work and why all this. Once you have your eyes opened for Him it is impossible to remain blind.

You may even mistaken because all of us are doomed to sin and die for it but since you seek to redeem yourself and praise God for all things he will welcome you.

 

[Jerz-2]

"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." - Romans 2:1 (NIV)

In other words, we should always be careful to look in the mirror FIRST before we cast aspersions on others. Oftentimes, the sins we notice most clearly in OTHERS are the ones that have taken root in us.
