Father, rather

if you were a tranny that went female to male, aren't you actualyl a woman?

Typo, male to female

Women trying to be men is hilariously sad and a monsterous side effect of the nuclear family being destroyed

Babylon's kingdom of whoredom and confusion

@t r e e d a d 2 0 0 6 Did you forgive your mama? I dropped the spirit of anger when I did. Since you said you resent the LGBT community - or maybe you need to face someone from that community to overcome? What say you?

But anyhow it wasn't from listening to Jesse's show that I came to salvation, but everything he says lines up with how I found the light and how to save young men from this fate

I'm not sure how to begin the process of forgiveness in a manner that would give me satisfaction and closure on the issues

Do you pray?

I've never forgiven my mother yet but I just grew closer to my father

Great, 1/2

Not often but I've been getting more into it

What do you do when you pray?

I'd love to start going to church again but our Constitution is being burned right now

Well at least we have Discord to fellowship on :)

Honestly I just kind of fold my hands and bow my head and say dear god and say thanks for stuff I'm grateful for

I was baptized Lutheran but I haven't gone to church since I was a kid so a lot of it is foreign to me

Great. I learned how to pray by following Jesse Peterson's Silent Prayer video on YouTube

But it's not a prayer, it's praying

I'll give it a watch, thanks g

What you say when you say'dear God' is a prayer

and then afterwards you may pray, in stillness, in the prayer closet, bringing thoughts into captivity & allow the Holy Spirit to reveal things to you

Sounds familiar to meditation

Similar, rather

Similar sure but meditation isn't humility under God that I know of. I have never been taught as such.

I tried meditating my whole life & it didn't do much for me. But praying with how Jesse peterson teaches it helped me straight away

The process is similar is all, it engages the same part of your brain

Ahh perhaps

One is tied to god as far as I'm concerned, meditation is just an interesting trick of the mind on the other hand

Sure sounds right

Like if I meditate for awhile sometimes I see a large shifting purple/magenta shape that moves and gyrates like a cloud

In what would be the center of my vision if my eyes were open

Yep your mind's eye

That's part of it

My understanding is that the pineal gland produces DMT which allow you to see imagery just as in dreams

It's interesting when I do it but it doesn't really do anything for me besides being an interesting phenomenon

Yeah

Sure. But doing whilst seeking God may allow the Holy Spirit to work with you

Ah true

@Mr. Badger Yeah, just construed in a way that wasn't Christian.

@NonDrip Ahh interesting! I didn't know any spirituality until I first prayed. I just looked at the world as if it was purely physical.
