Just find a church that denies the satanic doctrine of Divine Simplicity, and you'll be alright. It's the surest metric.

I watched a video about Jeramiah last night and it really hit me o a deep level as i understood Jeramiah and his struggles with how he shares Gods word with the people is exactly how i feel when trying to spread God's word on Discord servers and other websites, even the ones that claim to be for Jesus.

>>41233439
This reminds me. What should i do when i find a group of people with a satanist priestess and they side with her over God?
Should i reveal it to the public or just stay away and let God deal with them?

>>41233065 (OP)
I had to go to the evil wiki to find out who that was

Cannot recommend this book enough...

David Acosta is a great character who showcases the complexities of being a member of the modern clergy whilst trying to honor their own feelings and humanity.

>>41233439
LDS?

God has blessed me by having my mom find my lost 3DS charger out of nowhere, i am so thankful to God.
But here's the thing, the game i have in my 3DS is something The Holy Spirit inside me is letting me know i should not play and i understand why, too lustful and puts the demonic in a positive light. The thing is is that i don't know what to do with the game and its first instalment.
I thought about selling it to a streamer i like, but The Holy Spirit let me know not to even sell it.
So should i just lock it/hide it away somewhere or just burn it?

>>41233439
Why is Divine Simplicity satanic?

>>41237144
Okay I'll indulge in your trolling.

God gives us all free will, this is why prayers really aren't answered the way we want. If God started giving us everything we wanted and making people do what was most right, He might as well make puppets out of all of us. This is why you'll see very complex and strange coincidences as answered prayers, or possibly nothing at all. Something that does not impringe upon the agency of another person but still gets the job done, at least to some extent.
And I would never, ever blaspheme or disobey the Holy Spirit. That's a one-way ticket to hell.

Based.

>>41237195
I stopped reading after the first sentence due to your false accusation.
I am completely serious about this, what i said really did happen to me and this is a serious conflict i am going through and i came here because i thought this general is full of fellow followers of God who would help me, not falsely accuse me but i suppose i shouldn't be surprised anymore.
If what you said will help me then i would be glad to read it but i can not accept help from a false accuser so please, if you want me to read your words then please apologize and i will accept it and read your post.

Does anyone else regularly hold conversations with the divine spark within them?

>>41241132
No, of course not. As the Sufis say, a finger cannot touch it's own tip and a sword cannot cut itself. I am the divine spark within my body. And as that spark, I converse with (pray to, meditate on) the God who is the fire that is my source.

>>41241188
An expansion of God is projected into the core of my heart, as it is with all living beings. We share that space like two birds sitting in the same tree. And we relate to each other. I pray and I listen.

>>41241132
>>41241188

I'm confused. Sounds like you two are talking about the same thing but think you're talking about different things.

I have been thinking a lot about the path of Christian Love lately. And tonight I dreamed about Agape. There was someone in my dream who was asking me questions, and he kept repeating "do you know what agape is?"

"We must carry out certain acts of totalitarianism toward ourselves. We must exercise strict self-discipline. We must become subjects and create worlds! This is my political testament. Do you understand?"

>>41241597
The illusion that the spark is quantitatively the same as the fire from which it comes is the last snare of the Antichrist.

I have no wifi at my home and little mobile data on my phone. I wish to know the wifi password at my house again, without it it will be much more difficult to learn
Yes I go to the library for wifi but it's not the same, it's cold and the trip can be dangerous I don't have a car, the hours aren't great, etc etc

Please pray for me

So many varities of abrahamic schizophrenia to choose from

I deny all of it.

>>41264141
Good for you, I am sure you have a totally coherent and superior worldview that can stand up to any scrutiny

>>41264235
I dont care about mystical woo woo shit when Ive observed every abrahamic cult to be full of child abusers and false prophets

>>41264294
Enlighten us then please

The problem is Moses, not Abraham.

Every human institution with a hierarchical structure attracts predatorial sociopaths, pedophiles. Ask yourself, if human nature is flawed as such, what do we need to stand against such a thing.

There must be a reason we’re living here today
Like raising the plains
There’s too much violence and so many cold and hungry
Are drawn to this state

Our Father in heaven please don't desert us
In our hour of need
Dark spirits are moving
Gathering here like there’s no tomorrow
All over this land
Their black vibrations smother the air and the earth is screaming
How much more can it take

Our Father in heaven please don't desert us
In our hour of need
The Earth starts quaking in our generation
And the pole axis changed
Will we return back to anarchy with feudal leaders
To climb up again

Jesus where are you we need you here and love lies bleeding
All in your name
Will you return here on a wave of light or a clap of thunder
Or born as a man

Our Father in heaven please don't desert us
In our hour of need

Jesus where are you we need you here and love lies bleeding
All in your name
Will you return here on a wave of light or a clap of thunder
Or born as a man

I know this isn't a digimon game but; are there "most powerful" Saints, in catholicism? such as saint doctor of the church, popes, virgin-martyrs, founders of Orders, etc?
eg; saint patrick, st vincent ferrer, st rita de cassia?

>>41276912
Whatever saint has the most relevant "domain" to the situation. If you want to talk about what people claim they did, there is the legend of Saint Martha who tamed a moster with holy power or Saint George and the Dragon.
I'm sure there are others like thar but I don't remember.

>>41277749
I will explain my idea here as best as I can, even tho I'm ESL:
I'm a purgatorial universalist, catholic, because I think it's the most coherent theological position to hold. But I admit to myself, if I believed in "full-on infernalism" ie; including damned infants like St gregory did, I wouldn't be able to be a catholic.
Gregory become pope and saint WHILE believing it- the belief wasn't enough to shake his faith. in God- thats why, in actuality, i deeply think he's a super powerful saint.
