    What if you prayed to Jesus for over a decade for your own sanity, because you were terribly mentally unwell, and you grew more insane.

    What if you had talked to hundreds of Christians, and attended church after church looking for healing, but healing never came

    What if you couldn't do all those little thing's that people take for granted, and all the while your brothers & sister's stood by while you struggled to cook a healthy meal.

    What if you read the Bible back to front looking for answers to why your so messed up, but most of the words that come out condemn you to a living hell.

    What if.

    Yes this is my story, my experience, and the reason I had to leave Christianity behind. If I didn't leave it behind I doubt I'd be here talking to you.

    When did you ask for Salvation which He is offering?

    I was always an outcast at school and before school and always felt “different”. I prayed to God and thought I was a Christian till I was about 22. I was a sad, lonely and bullied young woman and thought maybe it was because I was a “Christian” as I thought. I now realise it was most likely other things such as my shyness and different upbringing. But never can figure out why I had so many enemies. 

    Why did Jesus have so many enemies? :)

    "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5).

    That being said Christ lives in all Christians (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 3:16, John 17:20-23) and we are ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:11-21). So any Christian potentially could represent Christians, long as they are Biblical Christians.
     

    Christ is the head of the body, all glory will be giving to Him. He represent Himself through us if we're willing to allow Him to to do so.

    Please help.  I see the good in the bible in terms of moral teachings.

    What you believe is what you follow... you see, but do you follow?

    Be real. 

    How many of us live up to what we list?

    Not what we list but who or what we love. Jesus said if we love Him we will keep His words. I personally love other in the flesh that is not of His words and my love for Him grows stronger each day. It's day by day for me. :)

    Rather,  nothing was out of order,  dis=orderly,  confusing or even 'random' --- see in Timothy I and II,  Ephesians, and ACTS --

    yes, much much different ( "called out,  set apart, holy") than the world, AND totally different from their own lives before being anointed/ saved/ borned again... yes, total life change as required for the Gospel.

    Amen, Jesus is the Word, did Jesus send every disciple in the same direction?

    A very simple question this time.

    How exactly...does the word of God restore a person? I have found the scriptures...what is requires for true restoration in Christ?

    Obedience. Get any Word from Him and what is required?

    If Grace has no basis in works, then why is Faith without Works dead? Then what is the point of doing work?

    Romans 10:17

    So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

     

    We'll respond to God's Word (Jesus Christ)  whether its believing or not. Responding according to Him, requires faith, and Holy Spirit enters into us if faith is found. Works, is lead by Jesus Christ through Holy Spirit in response to our faith. 

    Everything is done by Him and will be forever and ever.... Amen. Nothing without faith in Him will remain... forever and ever.

    Leaders- have a greater responsibility to behave in a godly manner- they are given authority, but with that authority comes the caveat that they will be held to a higher standard than the average believers that has not been called to be a leader

    Amen to that. How many leaders did God select in the past that had faults? All of them. And its to show that God is in control... not man or satan. How many followers called by God to be perfect after Jesus... none of them, its through Jesus that we're made perfect. Rest assure that we'll be held accountable for whatever the Lord has given us and by His power through Holy Spirit. Nothing will remain that was done by man. All  will stand before Him.
