Okay, well that is pretty obvious. It would seem that this site is not quite as active as it used to be, is all I'm saying.
By the way, my real name is Samuel. So, it's not a screen name.

Hi Samuel,Please start the conversation, and I will jump in; and
that (in tern) will certainly cause others to jump in as well!Your brother
in Christ, Jesus.

holycitybiblecode.orgFrom what I can tell Apologetics is a part, or probably should be a part of your everyday life style, I just did not know that it was called what it is called.
It is a theological seminary field of study.
I was hoping to get more people to “Elaborate” on this subject matter, perhaps shed some views, and opinions that I have not considered?
Hi Samuel, please do!
You are certainly correct in your summation, as 1 Peter 3:15 clearly states…
“Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give
an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:” (1 Peter 3:15)God bless

http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgI remember that before I “Backslid” GOD was trying to get me to focus on LOVE. GOD is LOVE. LOVE is the GLUE that holds all of this together.
I think LOVE would be a large part of this as well.
It's absolutely crazy how, all the LOVE you have can be gone from you. And, all the powers of darkness come in, you just hate everything, and everything frustrates you, makes you angry.
It's not GODS commandments, or what the Bible says that's really the problem. It's man. And, the religions they make up. Men make laws that are higher than GODS laws.
If you had LOVE. Everything else is in the bag I think.
Do we really have LOVE? The same LOVE GOD has?

Hi Samuel, That never happens to me?You should know it is important to
starve your flesh ego to death.
What you don't feed, DIES!Your brother
in Christ, Jesus.

holycitybiblecode.orgWell, I guess I'm just weak. Cause I mess up A LOT. And for the past couple years, I've been pretty much out of church again.
I just have a problem doing the right thing I guess.\
Like I said, I was doing what I would consider to be good. But, the religion in men started coming down on me, and then I got offended, and started trying to prove stuff. Finally, I gave up, and yes, I paid dearly for it.
I lost my job, my vehicle, had to file bankruptcy, and all that good stuff. So, I've been bottom feeding on the floor of despair, failure, anger, depression, and whatever else you can think of.
It says to confess your sins. So, that is what I've done, and I by no means want to let someone think that I think I'm something.
It is quite different, GOD thinks I'm something. And, in that I am happy. It has come to the point where I don't have the strength to tug and pull my head out of the yoke, as it were.
I don't know, I really have a knack for rambling, and hoping around from topic to topic.
In closing, lets just say I've learned some very hard lessons. The HARD WAY.
Hi Samuel,
Here's how I killed my ego (It took a little over 2 weeks):
What I didn't do:
I did not: tell anyone my concerns.
I did not: express any opinion about me.What I did do:
I did: only concerned myself with everyone else's concerns.
I did: express opinions about their concerns only.1. DO NOT ask what their concerns are because:
They will likely only tell you their lusts.
And you DO NOT want to support them in their lusts.2. Figure out for yourself what concerns are:
If they want to talk, you listen.
If they don't have a car, use yours.
If YOU have any questions, please ask.God bless

SamuelWhat you have lived is more common than you think ,the reason for it is meanly the persuing of earthly goods ,what do not deliver what the real needs of men are ,and this could be the lesson that God made you learn because you are still dear to him ,so pick up where ever you are and go from there ,but with God ,this is I see the message in your inside as you have share it with us ,
God bless my friend
Samuel
One more thing ,remember all thing no matter what is between you and God ,so be true towards God ,men can not be trusted, Christ did not trust them neither.
Thanks,
I'm having a tough time right now getting started back up, because I am broke and don't have any money.
I'm relying on other people to take me to church atm. Else if I had the gas I'd be at the church every day praying.(Well, most likely in the late night.)
But, I'm Watching Daystar, and listening to sermons online and on the phone. I have to keep it off HBO. It's tough.

SamuelThe only thing you need is a bible,and get up find a jod and put things together again ,so you can ones again stand up for yourself.
Well, I have a bible, actually about 4 or 5 of them, Plus on the computer, and on my phone as well.
I stopped studying, because I felt that I was reading too far into things.
I became to obsessed, with it. If that is possible.
I also have started working again. I have 2 part time jobs that I'm currently doing. Very low stress level. Well, one is, the other one is a little stressful.

SIt is good to put all your knowledge into question to make sure they are true,and specially the scriptures faith and doctrines
And I see you have a visible audience at work ,to practice the fruits of the spirit ,
Well,
I was reading in the Book of Job the other day. And, not so long ago I was sounding a lot like that. In fact, I may have actually went farther then Job actually did.
I do know that I was cursing the day I was born. I was wanting death to find me. But it did not.
I'm still here, and know one knows how long they have. In fact my time may be up tonight, today, or tomorrow. If this were in fact the case My prayer is that the Blood of Jesus will cover my sins. And, that I not be given what I surely deserve. I have sinned, and I know that my punishment would be just.
If we could get the love we are supposed to have, I don't think there would be a need for explanation. Fact is, we don't really LOVE like we are supposed to. If we had LOVE everything else would follow suit. And, everyone would want it. The only thing we would have to explain is how to get this LOVE.

hi Samuelyour question is a good one ,the funny thing is that we always look out side for the things that are inside and inside for the things that are outside ,
Love is the most common thing in the universe ,but their are many different loves ,but only one his the real one ,but all the others will lead us to that one ,if we pay attention ,
