Help?

So:

Nearly 1400 posts, about 2.5 per day, on a website called Comparative Religion.

Why this forum 17th, rather than any other out there on the net?

I used to go on another religious forum with an old member here called Bandit... In the start I asked quite a few interesting questions and raised some strange points lol... He said I would fit in slighty better here than where I met him.... Well, he had become a friend, I would have found it rude to turn down his kind invite, and came over.... And here I am.

Why do we stare at the stars at night an ponder how they came to be, or how many worlds might be circling them? Why do we ask questions that no one can really give a good result to?

We want answers. "Is that all there is" is not good enough. (at least for you). ;)

Keep on point, soldier.

Cheers Josh, Many points raised there that certainly can cause one to ponder with abundant curiosity! :)

I didn't expect to see this many posts... Still reading through them, thanks for replies.

if you don't understand, they basically mean that He is calling you back, man. don't turn your back on Him because he hasn't turned His back on you. the dreams you have mean something. don't ignore them but instead analyze them, i mean really think about them. i can tell you some really weird dreams that i have had, some literal, and some symbolic. you know that you have His law in your heart, you just keep fighting it because the world has got ahold of you. don't be of this world, man, as i mentioned before, we are just passing thru here. i pray that this doesn't confuse you.

As a Christian I would tell you that is when God is speaking to you. Feel blessed and also I would warn you that if one continues to ignore Him you develop a callous of sorts till you cant hear Him at all... From personal experience thats when drastic things happen in my life to get my attention.

Seriously.. think of all the things throughout your day that stimulates you and keeps your attention on secular life.. you might be amazed.

Lots of scriptures there :). Indeed, I have basic knowledge of the laws and such from reading the bible for a couple years. But as you and faithful say... god calling me? I again, find that hard to imagine as I find it hard to grasp the concept of a god, but why me? I am not special... If it were god calling why waste time on me? When he could talk to one of you? Or someone who really needs help. I asked for him to talk before, yet nothing happened or anything... So why now? And why can't I hear him, I just think of him.

From 09:00 till 17:00 nothing stimulates.. Only thought in my head is "I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home...."

Leo, I don't feel as if I am fighting, you'd say I am fighting?

you ask why you? you ask why not us? you say you aren't special. verily, verily i say unto you, that not one of us is special. only our Father in heaven and His Christ. our Father needs laborers because the harvest is great! can you understand that? you sound just like Moses in the Exodus.

Exodus 4:10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Exodus 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
Exodus 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
Exodus 4:13 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
Exodus 4:14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

you ask if you are fighting? i know for a fact that all of mankind is fighting Him. i know because i am a man who is constantly being tempted. constantly tempted because when i go to the supermarket i see women everywhere. beautiful ones with beautiful heart-shaped butts. with my wife right there in front of me, no less! i am tempted when i have my income tax return money and i want to buy my self a xbox 360 because i worked hard all year and i deserve it. i can go on and on about my daily temptations. point being, i fight everyday, all year long to avoid falling. but i don't, because this world sucks. this can't be all there is you know? i pray that you can understand this worthless sinner.

Fair enough - so that's how you got here. But what I was really asking was: what makes you stay here and post so frequently? Is it simply a stimulating distraction to pass the time because you are bored by your job, or is there something else as well? I'm not asking for an answer; just suggesting you introspect, because if there is a dilemma in your mind then the resolution will also arise from your mind - and for that you need to look inwards. Also, don't eat cheese before you go to bed.:)

chili peppers = plenty of dreams (not for the weak--the peppers or the dreams!) :D
 
17th...keep listening to the small voice. It's always there telling us important things, but most are too pre-occupied to tune in and follow its clues.

When you or anyone does, then you're doing G-d's work. It's an automatic thing actually. Joseph was the object lesson for this mode of responding to G-d's signaling, and he did a few good things, and even suffered some. By the way the root concept behind the name Joseph is "one who is added".

It's called life, and we all, whatever we are and whoever we are, were sent here to live out G-d's dreams. Lay back, let your alpha waves synchronize. learn whatever you may, and flow with it all.

flow....:cool:

So buying such things as a 360 is to fight him?

Indeed that's how I got here... I stay here because I hate my work and without the few forums I go on... I'd kill someone.....
