Grievances with God

[Gothedral]

"How could you possibly expect any of us to stray into the path of self-destruction you consistently describe? The Word is Law."

Are you saying that you live a monk like existence and that you hate money?

Lolwat None of that is in my post nor The Holy Bible. hahaha!

Ignoring what I say is forgivable. Not reading at least two chapters of the Holy Bible is on you, @planet2146. Although I know of the "metaphysical" things you mentioned, I will not engage in that language because even your turmoil proves it is corrupted and obviously futile. Our answer is in The Word of God. (Acts 17:11).

"Then you know that bearing false witness to everyone reading this, and blaspheming Holy God makes things worse for you. Good! We only expect people to be authentic, genuine, honest."

What do you mean bearing false witness? This my testimony. I really don't know what I'm dealing with but I told it to bother someone else who really needs its guidance.

You come to Christians for answers, and we will always tell you plainly to pray to Jesus and expect His response. (James 1:5-6)

You @planet2146 have no power of your own over the evil entities trying to lead you away from Jesus. We pray to Christ Almighty for your deliverance, and you must too.

Seems more like a power trip.

I understand you are trying to make sense of some very unusual experiences.

A few points:

• Being a Christian does not mean living a monk-like existence or being sinless. Christians still struggle with sin. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ, not by achieving a certain level of holiness.

• Money itself is not sinful. Scripture says the love of money is a problem. A Christian can have money and possessions while still putting God first.

• I don't doubt that you have experienced things that you genuinely cannot explain. But I would be careful about concluding that whatever is behind those experiences is necessarily God. Scripture tells us to test the spirits.

• The Bible is actually very relevant to what you are describing. God can allow suffering while still placing boundaries on what Satan and evil can do. Job is an obvious example.

• I am not questioning whether you have suffered. I questioned your claim of having been a Christian.

I'm happy to discuss what you have experienced without assuming you're crazy or trolling. I just think we should test those experiences against Scripture and give God a fair hearing. Many, and I mean many, do not. God is a righteous Judge and He is not afraid of our honest examination.

• Isaiah 1:18 — “Let us reason together.”
• Isaiah 5:3–4 — God asks us to judge His dealings.
• Genesis 18:25 — “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
• Ezekiel 18:25 — God invites His fairness to be examined.
• Malachi 3:10 — “Prove me now herewith.”
• Psalm 34:8 — “O taste and see that the LORD is good.”
• Psalm 66:5 — “Come and see the works of God.”
• Psalm 46:10 — “Know that I am God.”
• John 7:17 — “He shall know of the doctrine.”
• John 10:37–38 — Jesus points to His works as evidence.
• John 14:11 — “Believe me for the very works' sake.”
• John 20:27 — Jesus tells Thomas to examine the evidence.
• Acts 17:11 — The Bereans searched Scripture to test what Paul taught.
• 1 Thessalonians 5:21 — “Prove all things.”
• 1 John 4:1 — “Try the spirits whether they are of God.”
• 2 Corinthians 13:5 — “Examine yourselves.”
• Romans 12:2 — “Prove what is that good...will of God.”
• Ephesians 5:10 — “Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.”

"• I don't doubt that you have experienced things that you genuinely cannot explain. But I would be careful about concluding that whatever is behind those experiences is necessarily God. Scripture tells us to test the spirits."

In your opinion, let say it is not god. do you think "spirits" can cause two people's life to intersect? Cause profound coincidences? Somehow share the same powers of god?
