  1. A brief comment on evidence: Evidence is one way of arriving at and demonstrating truth - I'm not saying it isn't - but there are other ways. Evidence means something like verification through information in the physical world. When talking about the spiritual world, evidence is thus insufficient. Our evidence comes through those with spiritual gifts who can come into contact with the spiritual directly. James E Padgett could access the spiritual. He was a medium, and channelled Jesus, amongst others. I believe what I read on truthforallpeople.com because it agrees with my own search for truth. I too speak to spirits and can access the spiritual, though I have much to learn.
  2. Evidence aside, how doesn't it make sense? I thought I answered your question sufficiently. What do you mean that everything is God's will? Our wills are not God's will, but we can bring our will into alignment with God. God can change what we feel, do etc. But we have a free will to exercise as we choose. When we choose to sin, we turn away from what is good. God does not turn away from what is good, only people do. We have this option due to our kind of freedom. Is there anything I haven't answered? Can you be clearer about what kind of answer you want?
  3. God does not sin. People sin willingly by turning away from God and love and truth. If God cannot fall, he has no need to repent. God is the highest that we can know, and cannot be rightly condemned. Even "those in Christ" are free of condemnation. Man fell, man must return. Love is the law.
  4. No, it is not a subtraction. One can love everyone, but have a particular love for their family. This is natural. Edit: I don't know if that quote is truly of Jesus. I know part is an old testament reference. My interpretation of the verse is like how people get so heated about their religious beliefs. The division is based on who believes what Jesus is saying and who doesn't. That's just a guess though, it may even be somewhat nonsense.
  5. The accounts are probably basically true. If these people didn't experience punishment, that doesn't mean no one will. I don't know if a major sinner experiences punishment in a NDE, but they experience it when they cross over. Some try to escape the punishment and go on doing evil. They might engage with earthlings in the form of a demon. But yeah.. there is always consequence from sinning. When you turn from love you have turn back. When you take from someone you have to give to them. I am not sure how hell works if you have the divine love. I think it is a fast track out of there.
  6. What do you mean that personal accounts can show there is no punishment by God? Well, really we punish ourselves, though realisation of our sin. I don't know if I'll read those articles, so whats the point you're getting at? Of course God is love, and not hatred. Not all will go to hell, but only a few have no sins to pay for.
  7. Yeah and they can go on thinking that. I can wait 50 or so years to be proven right. Haha. But yeah, immortal on earth. . That sounds like a lack of faith. Earth is meant as a temporary place for young souls.
  8. I get triggered when people say you can't diagnose yourself. Not like triggered, but.. you know. I self diagnosed as moderately agoraphobic. I brought it up with my psychiatrist and she agreed. Maybe i was using it as an excuse to not leave the house more, but now that i have more friends its getting easier anyway. A lot is to do with confidence. I can MBTI type myself better than a test or certified professional, surely i can do it for psychological disorders instead. I am disgnosed as schizophrenic, but self diagnosed as a shaman. I am disgnosed with social anxiety, but there is a better term/explanation for my feelings/behaviour.
  9. You can read about it on truthforallpeople.com. As for determining whether what you read is true, that is for you to figure out.
  10. Becoming immortal on earth you mean? As opposed to the spirit world? How silly! Those with divine love are immortal, once they die. Those without it, i dont know. It's not necessaily ego to want to be immortal (after death) but it could be.
  11. There is hell, but it is temporary. When you pay for your sins* you go to heaven. But did you know there is more than one heaven? To get to the celestial heavens you need divine love. You can receive the divine love through prayer, but one day the opportunity will be lost. I don't know if anyone knows when this will happen, but waste no time! * i dont know to what extent one must have sinned to go to hell, or how much repentance must take place to get to heaven
  12. Look at this website, unlocking my ENFP side! Changes are coming - no - here.
  13. I can exit this degree after the graduate certificate if i lose the passion. It depends on whether i want to go through with the project i guess. I am hoping the degree doesnt interfere with my personal development too much. If so, work would be way way worse. But maybe i am nearing my plateau anyway, or maybe i will find a way through it. Ive got 2 directions i can see this going, and a third direction in the middle, which is more of an either or. Work should work, but if i can live my life without it, that would help my functioning. Psychosis can knock me out of consensus reality for weeks, so work will be interrupted unless the episodes subside. I would rather that the episodes continue, but i dont know whst the future will bring.
  14. I have certainly had spasms in my body. I had one time where demons were thrashing me about as i attempted to remove them. Edit: and many times where i have shaken as if i were cold, due to something of a spiritual nature
  15. @Keyhole great video. You sound like ENFPs i know. My main aspects that i would consider mental illness, are the initiation into the path where i lost everything and fell apart mentally, and also a longstanding issue of social inhibition, that has been going away over recent weeks. If what i experience is psychosis, then psychosis is what i want. The spiritual information is so much richer during those times.
  16. I agree, i think, but i still stick to using the term condemnation. There are other forms of consciousness correction, and this form says that the intention/action which was sinful should not have arisen. In other contexts, one improves one ones action, without supposing that the previous, inferior action should not have happened. Its almost inevitable that a great deal of sin will take place, but it is always a choice, and always the wrong choice.
  17. One condemns onself through the realisation of what one has done.
  18. Sins ARE to be condemned. They are a person choosing to do wrong. If you do wrong, you face condemnation. Error, such as deluding oneself or choosing to do something stupid, are similarly to be condemned.
  19. My post was serious (playful but serious). I am forced to take antipsychotics. I have been telling my psychiatrist about shamanism. I think she is starting to get it but it's been a long process. Eminems relapse album is the best for rhythmic dance. Some of his songs are intricately linked to my episodes. Untouchable for example, due to bizarre synchronicity surrounding it. I also like some d12 stuff like leave dat boy alone. Revival is a great album, but his stuff after that is kinda boring.
  20. @Keyholebest description of being a shaman that i have read. I should print it out and show it to my psychiatrist. I used to do rhythmic dancing to Eminem a lot.
  21. This is a simple question and i didnt see anyone give the answer. Evil comes from people, from us. We had the good way set before us and wouldn't follow it, and instead went our own way. We were made to be perfect in love, but we go against love, whether occassionally or habitually, and this causes the problems we have before us.
  22. They don't make bread like they used to.
  23. So just now, its 3am and im listening to Ozzy Osbourne. An unknown number calls me. I dont answer. The music comes back on and the first thing Ozzy says is "i hear them breathing on my telephone".
  24. Yes, some people find it easier, for various reasons.
  25. No that's not correct. Sin arises from free will choosing to do what is wrong. This takes the form of going against love, truth, God. Sin also relates to the animal nature dominating the spiritual nature. I wonder, why do spirits in hell choose to sin?
