by nature I was very shy and reserved
I can honestly say that Jesus changed my nature
the spiritual life should be the norm for Christians, but certain sects have taken that and run off in all directions, accepting teaching of demons (what scripture calls doctrines of demons) and if it 'feels good' it must be God
they have thrown good solid teaching out the window, have no use for it in fact, and defend heresy and demonic manifestations as the Holy Spirit
the REAL (geez I don't even like using the term) Christian life is a changed person, good deeds and finally being given spiritual gifts and the descretion of God who is the One who gives them out
instead, they create something called the school of the prophets, referring to the OT, the SAME OT they toss and say it's all law, permit ungodly behavior when scripture teaches that ALL THINGS SHOULD BE DONE DECENTLY AND IN ORDER
they say if it were not God, He would stop it
would He? would He really?
even that is not biblical

don't you know that 'endure till the end' ONLY applies to the dark continent, the hills of Scotland where the remains of druids live, the dark inner cities of European countries and China and Russia?
forget it baby!
just ask the god in your mind to supply you with all your needs
it's obvious He has forgotten about any place but the US and sometimes Canada

I learned only this week, that some believe that Jesus' message BEFORE the crucifixion is DIFFERENT from the message AFTER the Crucifixion. (as told by Paul).
I don't know, I thought Jesus was a pretty smart person and maybe even GOD and KNEW what He was talking about,
but, apparently, He didn't.
I mean, do people REALIZE what they're saying????
Does deafness and blindness go that deep???
I'm in shock here.

sometimes God makes an appearance to write 'Ichabod' over the doorframe of manmade temples, including the ones between the ears
The term Ichabod is found in two places in the Bible,1 Samuel 4:21 and 14:3. Ichabod was the son of Phinehas and the grandson of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh. The sad story of Eli and his two wayward sons, Phinehas and Hophni, is found in 1 Samuel, chapters 2 and 4. Hophni and Phinehas died in battle with the Philistines who captured the Ark of the Covenant and took it away from Israel. Upon hearing this terrible news, Eli fell backward off his chair and broke his neck and died. Phinehas’s pregnant wife went into labor and bore a son.
“And she named the child Ichabod, saying, ‘The glory has departed from Israel!’ because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband. And she said, ‘The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured’” (1 Samuel 4:21–22). The word Ichabod means literally “inglorious” or “there is no glory,” and in her pain and despair, the woman (who is unnamed in Scripture) lamented over the loss of the glory of God from Israel.
God purpose is always the same

Really?...go read it in context.
Matthew 24:13
Scripture is not full of contradictions, although some like to make it so.

no scripture is very plain
however the people reading it are full of contradictions
when someone states the laws as revealed in scripture are done away with, they contradict almost half the New Testament
Paul talks about the law all the time and tries to explain it
he tries to explain what it meant, what it means and how we are to see it
there is no law for those who are in Christ Jesus, but that does not mean go practice immorality
so what does it mean?
