Yes, they found a pill it seems for what appears to be demonic possession.
And seriously if this, what im going through, is not demonic possession then there is some rather foul and secret tech someone is using i should say.
Give me barbitol, hang me from a tree, i don’t care at this point. I wish someone would have said something when i was young. Like “hey, there is a chance you can become possessed and kill yourself when you are older, yeah you might get murdered by demons.”
They like to keep people stupid down here i suppose.
Persecution comes with the territory if you believe & follow Jesus. In fact it’s to be expected.
People who do not have the real experience with Jesus and the power of the holy Spirit will naturally deny, mock, even attack. I know before I knew Jesus I also was a mocker, and a blasphemer. I ridiculed Christians for their beliefs and cursed at God in a demonic way.
I was actually somewhat surprised jesus answered me in the night and accepted me after all I had done to Him…but I was ignorant and did not know Him so it was like attacking someone I never knew or met, plus the demons were stirring me up as well…
A lot of people seem to interpret their voices / delusions as demonic or spiritual in nature. From that perspective, it makes sense there wouldn’t be much love for a God that allows a form of spiritual torture.
My delusions were all human — government persecution, mind control, secret societies — that sort of thing.
I don’t really know what to make of all these religious threads. Religious discussion bores me now, for the most part. On the flip side, it could be worse — I think threads devoted to personal depression, suicide and the like bring the entire atmosphere down. That is the purpose of the site, though, and I understand that, but despair is infectious.
I don’t use those terms really. I never say to people “Do you know Jesus?” or any of the other stereotypical lines Christians use to try and convert people…in fact as a Christian if I am approached by them it’s a turn off, and if I’m in a mood I might even say, “You really should seek the gift of discernment, then you would have sensed I was already a Christian.”
I don’t think Jesus meant us to go around spouting off John 3;16 and the verses from Romans to sinners…sounds like a rehearsed robotic drone sometimes. The power of God should flow spontaneously and do what it does…it should not be confined to a formulae of words and rituals that bind the natural flow of the Spirit by man made conceptions…
@jukebox, I write a lot if crap to make a point but I want you to know that I’m not out to bash religion. I’m just against religious posts. Religious beliefs are a personal choice and that’s cool. The problem I see is when there are half a dozen religious posts on the front page every single day. It causes fights, it divides people, and some of us have had problems with religious delusions in the past. It’s easy to see the effect of people being triggered by all the odd posts that inevitably show up in each religious thread.
I just think we’d be better off sticking to other topics.
I don’t think loving Jesus more than parents, children, spouse, etc means abandoning, or neglecting those people at all. Jesus is in Spirit and you can quite easily love in the Spirit as well as love those in the physical…in many cases prayer to Jesus is what keeps families together, so there has to be a balance.
And also there is the fact when it’s time to die, it’s not your family that can help you in the afterworlds…
But again, Jesus never meant people to ditch anyone, with the exception of people who are so sinful they are dragging you down with them… I had to ditch all my old friends…they were all into getting drunk, drugs, and some into satanism. But that was a good ditch…many of those people died from drugs and alcohol over the next 15 years…I could have been one of those casualties had I stayed with that crowd.
i am not a big fan of too many of these religious threads, ok its good when people are just being open and honest about stuff but when people are having a go its no fun, i can see the arguments develop sometimes and the instigators and its hard to ignore as it triggers me but now i am learning to ignore these things and stop taking the bait.
YES! I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” - Matthew 10:32-33 (KJV)
You know how people say ask jesus into your heart? I took that to heart literally, i thought he was in me like in my stomach or heart or somewhere in my body . and then i also thought demons could be in there too if I let them. it was terrifying(the demons) and Jesus (strange concept to believe he is in you)
The bible was written two hundred years after most of it’s so-called events took place. A cop or an attorney will tell you that most witnesses to a car accident will forget the color of the cars involved, the street it took place on, and how fast the cars were going (approx.), and the time it took place…in a month.
this is a difficult one for me. i saw jesus in my wallpaper when i was a kiddie but i never told anyone. maybe it was a portent of what was to be my future. all mine and my kiddies sufferings don’t matter as jesus will protect us in the afterlife? or maybe stick to the right path and we will be protected. i don’t know all i know is what i saw and i don’t remember seeing any pictures of jesus as a kiddie. i guess i must have done or i wouldn’t have known it was jesus i was seeing but should i be thankful that he has ket me alive so far or should i be angry at our suffering? hmmmm that’s a difficult one. jesus preached love but saves no one from pain and torture…i think the bible may well be wrong but the basic ideas be right. i think there may well be a creator…dunno i’d have to do a bit more research on n.d.e’s first before i make up my mind i guess.
And why does Jesus want you to offer him your suffering…is he a vampire? LOL Jesus was already sacrificed, why does there need to be more sacrifices? If you look at all the saints they tend to have horrible suffering. It seems they’re not doing something right.
I’m quoting my brother, when I asked him his opinion on God, Jesus, religion: “I think nobody knows and probably nobody will ever know”.
Take note he’s the most christian person I’ve ever known, meaning he’s like Jesus in that way, and up until he said that I thought he was a proclaimed christian.
I think he’s taking a centered approach. I have to say though, if I weren’t raised christian, I probably would never have even considered the possibility… of any of it. Even the deepest faith would be empty, as even faith requires something, an inkling in atleast one dimension. To simply have nothing would be to believe in nothing. And even if there could be a human-like God, I wouldn’t care, because he/she/it doesn’t seem to care.
