> i know this is not a biblical question but i must ask it - is social distancing and mask wearing something that god would want
@Cybercharger No. God works through humans because we are a piece of god. The energy glowing inside us that drives all lives and stars has a direct link to the creator. Fear mongering, hate mongering, and wanting to control others is the disease of the human ego which we have not evolved past. The counteraction to what nature instills in us. The reason we know when something is wrong, but can push morals aside to hurt others or create more fear and hate.

As long as humans exist there will be chaos, but we should not condone or create it as a society. It exists in nature already.

It is a collective consciousness where people are trying to destroy the balance for control.

yes it is good to love your weaknesses, because that is how you will overcome your weaknesses. If you can love yourself for being weak you can forgive yourself for being weak and thus overcome your weakness

kind of in the same vein as the precept of showing true love to your father for being too weak to handle your mother, forgiving him, and thus overcoming his weakness (and mama's damage also) all in one. Same process can apply to yourself as well.

YES, it is good to love your weakness! God will do the rest because he is of love. Satan is of hate.

It is good to talk to yourself in your mind and not focus on your senses. Everyone has pieces to us like a puzzle. a collaboration of energy that stores information. If you can hear your other self speak you will know your flaws. Self-reflection is extremely important.

Its not good or bad to love your weakness. Its good to acknowledge the weaknesses and love the fact that you can see it.

i believe it depends on the weakness. if the weakness is a sin or desire to do something sinful then you shouldn't love that. if it's just something you're not as good at as someone else like teaching or leading worship and God called you to do other things then you should love that aspect of yourself and not be envious of others' talents.

@亜當 I agree with the sentiment, but the reason why I asked that question, is because I try to go to church last Sunday and when i went there I saw people sitting six feet a part from each other, everybody was wearing a mask and many people weren't allowed in because it was "max" capacity. when the communion happened people were picking up the bread on a special table and the part where you wish peace to your fellow church goers was pretty much cancelled because no touching stay six feet a part and there was no holy water. It felt wrong to me and after that i felt like it was a break of tradition. i tried to talk to the minister afterwards, but they told me that for my own safety is better if i do it online. That was not the church experience i knew.

If a weakness leads you to sin you should not love it but rebuke it, repent and ask the holy spirit to enable you to overcome it. @Sean 🏜 voiced my exact sentiment so I will leave it at that.

亜當

i mean as long as it helps you get over your homosexual urges I dont see anything wrong

yes it is weak

Precisely

What dah

What do Romans preach in the bible? ( Since when they are authority when it comes to knowing one God ?) thanks

If your weakness is money and prosperity then give into it

That sounds like something the rich young man from Matthew 19 would say, Railer.

BQ answer: You shouldn't really love or hate weaknesses, maybe be grateful if you have a weakness to overcome (i think everyone develops at least one these days before they overcome), so that you can become stronger through that experience.

all your answers sound whack so much self hatred and loathing just fucking do something with your lives. This whi i fucking hate society people alwasys just cpomplaining and not doing anything. Arguing what is good or what bad. what is right or what is wrong. No action just words. politicians complaining about other parties on both sides when theyre not doing shit like their doing something. Do a little inductive reasoning with your lives

It seems I may need to be a mod on this server

Why am I in the WHITE MOUF group? I'm not white. 😐

He white

Haha nah

x) x)

i wanna ask a biblical question!! haha

if you died today and stood before the Messiah in heaven and was asked WHY should you be allowed in, what would your answer be??

>
> He white
> @Stephen Will I am not white. The political correct term is to call me pale face.

Haha

Malachi 4:6
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

***__ How does one develop true faith? __*** is this week's biblical question! @everyone

By putting the one true God above all things. Trust truth.

You start with the little faith you have, the size of a mustard seed, and you take action. Try it for yourself and do what Jesus commanded, like forgiving others, get rid of all anger, hold every thought captive. Even if you have next to no faith at all, if you try these things, you're seeking God. And if you seek God, he will reveal himself. True faith is there when you find yourself seeking, and witnessing yourself growing stronger in the truth. And over time you start to realize that these things you were worried about before don't scare you like they used to. God's peace and strength is so staggering, and when it becomes a part of you, you'll never be the same, it's like being a new person.

starting with the Truth is probably a pretty good place to start in building the True Faith

oh boy

@gorgonzhola I believe if one does not follow the mind but the heart instead, it will encourage actions of Faith.

> if you died today and stood before the Messiah in heaven and was asked WHY should you be allowed in, what would your answer be??
@Shalom You wouldn't dare ask to come in, seeing Christ you instantly see yourself in comparison to him and you know you aren't deserving of anything and you can see he will not be moved by your pleading

haha least someone answered it

> **__*Is it good to love your weakness?*__**
I know Jesse already answered this, but I haven't heard his answer yet so I want to give my interepretaton.
Loving your weaknesses is to love the darkness within and its your love for the darkness that keeps you from seeking God and allowing him to clean you out. So, no you shouldn't love your weaknesses, but you also don't have the ability to change the darkness in your heart and its up you to open yourself up to God's light and the love for your weaknesses will be swept away just like the darkness can't endure the light.

i do believe there is one answer and one answer only to this question, but i cant disagree with what you said

@Shalom what is Jesse's answer to this one?
