1 | Destiny of created beings | Is 14:12 | Finder | 186362 | ||
Hi Cheri, I even rehearsed how I would answer your questions and show you how I "flared"... and for a moment I forgot that I was rehearsing to tell my story on a public site... even though I am anonymous here.... Although I never had a premeditated reason for "flaring" in my 10-year "persecution". And it would be crazy to expose such a bleak picture in this site. And there isn't the remotest reason to do so. All I can say is that I came out with mere clean conscience. And I mantain my point, Paul got all the best gifts... Not because of the gifts themselves. But because of the knowledge of God he had through them. Even in the most "ordinary" gift, he got it better than anybody else: 1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. And, what is my "reaction" for that promise? Y E S T E R D A Y - I S - T O O - L A T E ! |

Hi Finder, I don't understand your reaction of 'Yesterday is too late' (although in general that's absolutely true). Please explain? Also, why is faith in God such a struggle for you? You exercise faith on a daily basis on things and people far less proved and reliable. I'll bet if your weatherman tells you it's gonna be 30 or below tomorrow that you won't plan on wearing your shorts and sandles - yet how many times a month is he wrong? And he's somebody who doesn't give a flying leap about you personally. Yet you trust him. God has been proved true over and over again, and He's much more reliable. And He cares for you like no one else ever has or will. Also, I didn't use the word "flare," I said "fare." Makes a difference in the rendering of the question. Blessings Cheri |

Dear Cheri, I think you ask that because you have not paid attention to my recent questions. The difficulties on this struggle have to do with the basic fact: Why would He create a sinful person (like me)? This doesn't sound too perfect to me. So, in the level of relationship, it is also clear that I have nothing to offer either. What could a sinful person have to offer to a God who, if I stood in His presence I would die? (except with a ressurrected body). So, it makes death as an unavoidable issue. Daily. Because, after all, even with the "imperfection" mentioned at the beginning, if there is anything good, it obviously comes from Him. Excuse me for the "flare" word. It was a typo. I meant "fare". Concerning the "Yesterday is too late" is that I can't wait to get out of this unproductive existence and get in touch with the "real thing" - soon. In your analogy, the "Disneyland with foundations"... Maybe the following verse will do: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. Finder |
