I can't remember the name of the guy who wrote the book Logos Rising, but I think that he has a clear explanation for this.
I haven't read the book, but I've listened to several interviews where he talks about it.
The basic idea is that ancient Greek philosophers were looking for a unifying force for the universe and eventually settled on the idea of Logos. Logos translates to "word" in English, but the meaning of the Greek is far richer. Logos is the idea of order, logic, goodness, stability, etc.
The gospel of John begins by claiming Jesus is the Logos.
By rejecting Jesus, the Logos, people must choose the only other option: anti-Logos. We see the results of anti-Logos all around us today as our world has embraced it: hatred, dishonesty, gender confusion, greed, chaos.
I think the beginning of the awakening process is the search for Logos. Eventually some realize who the Logos really is.
If you haven't found the Logos yet, seek and you will find!
From what he said, I thought it might be interesting to read sometime. I don't agree with everything he says (e.g. I'm not RC), but I think his presentation of Logos / anti-Logos is correct and a good explanation of what is going on in the world today.
He speaks a lot about the subversion of the RCC, but about many other issues as well. You don't have to agree with everything a writer says, in fact, it is best you do not and do further research on your own.
You may think you rejected God but He won’t let you reject Him. Jesus will leave the 99 to bring back the one. God has gifted you with salvation because of your faith fren.
I still struggle forgiving myself but I thank the lord for his mercy. His forgiveness is all I need. Life has been very dark for me, and I thank God, because it will only make the light of heaven even brighter.
I too had a short stint with satanism years ago. I felt the same way, about struggling to forgive myself, and as well as feeling like I wasn't worthy of God's love. Months ago my Bible fell and it landed on Isaiah 30. Honestly Isaiah 30:15-23 hit home with me personally in relation to the aforementioned things.
I always believed but never practiced and at times felt betrayed but now I see I didn't understand and my life has been better since I started practicing to be a good Christian.
This is me also. My attitude, health, feelings, are all improved, and I no longer feel like a slave to my impulses. When satan tries tempting me I say “I wish you’d get out of my life and shut up”
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Acts 17:11 NIV
To be honest, I'm not even sure if what I now know world even be called Christianity anymore. I suppose technically it is, but it's so different from what mainstream churches teach that I'd be kicked out to the street if I spoke things I now know in a church.
I was raised Catholic, and don't trust any religion. I thought that made me a sinner
I have faith in Jesus Christ, but seeing the evil of religion and being the "only one" seeing things that way made me think Jesus was not happy with me. So I laid low, didn't pray much because I felt I didn't deserve to.
I love this place and the God loving Patriots I've come across here and in my life that belonged to no church and showed it's ok to only belong to Jesus Christ.
I have said this before, been a huge liberal most my adult life. Not as extreme as you associate with "liberal" now, but had you basic assumptions about me down to a tee. Tree-hugging, anti-war, anti-establishment, affordable healthcare and so on. Was pretty hippie-dippy too, believed in the energies of Mother Nature over all else.
I never swayed from my policies though; but time proved that wasn't progressive enough. Felt alienated, then I discovered one thing that flipped a Switch for me. Trump's movements on trafficking. I absolutely hate, with a burning passion, pedophiles. It got me to dig deeper, eventually led to the Q stuff, the crazy bits.
Over time I orbited around some forums discussing it til I was led to TDW. With everything I began to question what my allegiances to the spiritual really meant.
In August, I began praying. Prayed in a way it felt personal, and over time I started having more calm moments in my life. Everything is still turned to 11, but there is some solstice to be had.
Yep, Trump vs pedophiles has been an eye opener for many. So glad to hear your journey brought you to God in prayer, as he alone gives true peace. He loves each of us beyond our capacity to comprehend.
"God, I don't know if you exist. I never believed you did. But if you do, I want to know the truth. Please reveal yourself to me." A simple prayer like that, said with humbleness and with zero mockery will get your answer.
Meditate more. Listen to Sadhguru. Check out kundaliniandcelltowers.com . Ignore people who claim to be in touch with their chakras and shit, those of us in the know do not bother to boast about such pointlessly simple things. Do not overthink astrology or crystals. Do not overthink extraterrestrials or anything for that matter. Get in touch with yourself. Practice critical thinking and trust no one.
You'll get that dial down to a comfy 6 or 7 soon enough brother.
👋🏻 Recovering liberal Oregonian who lived in San Fran for 3 years - I kept the veganism but left behind the demons. And I fell back into the arms of my beautiful Jesus Christ, savior and father. I cleaned up my act, moved to a red state, married the love of my life (after feeding him the red pill in 2016) and now we have 1 beautiful little girl and a handsome boy on the way. I am gunna toxic masculine the shit out of that based baby boy of mine. Heck yeah.
Please drop the vegan stuff and don't push that on kids. It's not healthy. You are missing important nutrients. Pills are not the same. They wanted to wean the human cattle off real protein because they wanted us in camps eating bugs. God bless! 🙏🇺🇸
Don’t worry about my diet Im as healthy as a horse 🐴 been healthy eating this way for 5-6 years and husband going on 11 years. Libs hijacked the vegan diet and zombified it a bit but I promise its not that taboo and a lot of folks can flourish well on a plant based diet despite propaganda on both sides. I don’t particularly plan on debating anyone over the choice, but I can confirm my walk with Christ has been wonderful and I feel great eating this way. Not judging anyone who eats meat, nor do I consume the fake plant meats which Ive read may contain stem cells gross. But rest assured I get every nutrient I need - pills or not! God bless you too.
Not expecting a reply, but if you want strong boys and girls I insist that you need to feed them a well-rounded diet. Gotta keep your awakening going some more to get where you want to go, fren. I have a patriot in my circle who is sticking to veganism and is just not as resilient to what the DS is doing. But that’s a valid choice for adults. However, please think twice before taking good food away from your children.
🥰 Beautiful, so happy for you. I love my boys with every fiber in me. I was never blessed with a daughter but would have loved to be. God really blesses us with unbelievable love for our children. Those who never have children miss out on that wonderful reciprocal love.
Im excited to meet my son! I feel bad for my lib friends who are missing out in being parents. They intentionally don’t want to have kids for many reasons. Its so sad
I recommend teaching your boys (specifically) how to shoot, how to use ropes (knots), start a camp fire, use a compass and a map, love the outdoors (find something he loves and feed it), and socialize him with both girls and outgoing boys. Go camping, overlanding, hunting, hiking, etc.
If he's not good at sports, help him find something masculine and to get physical exercise to build muscle starting in Junior High. Feed him lots of meat. Help him build a bulletproof confidence, while spending time helping people less fortunate (so he develops healthy empathy, instead of insecurity). Raising kids is a full-time job also.
Grow a little. I was a vegan for 2 years and then longer but on and on/off basis. Started with the horrific realization that humanity is little more than organized vampires with the whole world captive to our murderous desire. Ended with the realization that ignoring this INSTINCT, yes instinct, only made me a MISERABLE vampire and did not make me any less a vampire. There are no vegan apes, pretty much every sort of monkey will kill and eat things, even enemies of their own species given half a chance. Gorillas in the mist fairytales are idealistic at best, every single monkey is fucking brutal as shit, the smarter the more dangerous. The human is the ultimate vampire, the coldest most honed killer on the face of planet, the height of terrifying, the ultimate Scary Thing In The Dark.
/endrant
So, throughout my excursions with DMT I encountered some aliens that 'encouraged'(THREATENED) me to return to my vegan lifestyle. After about a year I decided I wasn't scared anymore and went back to eating meat. Lo and behold I didn't even fall down dead!
The fake meat is like really really bad for you so don't eat that. Also a good medium-rare steak every now and then does a body good. You don't have to go with the American thing, Meat At Every Meal, but just as it helps various animals get a nice shiny coat it does a body good to get some good old fashioned murder in your system.
Eating is not sin, just as sex is not sin, just as wealth is not sin. As long as you have that Healthy Detachment and awareness of all things God you should be pretty much good.
These are the Christian Youtubers I follow. The hashtags can be put in the YouTube search bar to go to their channels.
Particularly, the first three focus on Christian daily life and improvement, but all of these channels are about receiving words from the Lord that 45 will be back soon. Other words of theirs have already been fulfilled, but they're very godly people to check out.
ElijahStreams hosts these people and could be the sole youtuber to follow as the other channels regularly appear on here. I'd definitely subscribe to the first 3 and ElijahStreams.
Thanks, I will check her out.. Dolly Parton has been teeming up with young country gospel artists lately,, going back to her roots. Check out her song with Zach Williams if you don't know it, it made my soul shine. She's also worked with Hank Williams grand son, but I do not now any of that, there is no relation to Zach afaik.
And also check out his solo stuff, the show he did at a Georgia state prison, it is especially moving. He has a story of his own "rescue story" of being saved:
I love her, her voice is as real and true as her soul. Let me know what you think of Williams as well. I have never listened to' Christian" musi, as it is mostly garbage that intentionally avoids Christ and his messages.The resurgence of Christian music that is vocally Christ-based gives me hope.
Your user names makes me smile. I haven't been fishing in so long. I live in the shadow of Lake Ontario, grew up fishing with my Dad (learned ice fishing isn't my thing lol).
Heading to Florida soon I cannot wait to go fishing. :)
I believe you will be inspired, amazing voice and message. Dolly is a beautiful child of God, a blessing to this world. She did go Hollywood to make a large career, avoiding the satanic aspects I believe, and could do so because of her huge talent. believe in her older years, she is using her clout to bring gospel music back to Jesus, where it has not been for decades.
Psalm 5:11
But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy;
And may You shelter them,
That those who love Your name may exult in You.
Psalm 32:11
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Singing for the Lord is the most pure form of music.
I came to a belief in a higher power when I got sober many years ago, it gradually grew in me. I came to see that my life had been a total disaster and that I had been serving other spirits. So I was already of a spiritual nature when I first found Q and was receptive to the spiritual side of this phenomenon and movement.
God's power is everywhere. Continue in your faith. It really is quite insane how very real, how very relevant, how very in-your-face it all is. I can't even begin to describe, though I can answer questions. There once was a time when I did not believe God
surely existed. Now I am not sure if anything exists OTHER than God, I am so very surrounded by His power, His love, and His words.
My hand is raised. I wasn’t atheist, but agnostic for sure. I knew there was a God but I just didn’t know him. Thanks to GAW or TGA or whatever this joint is called, I’ve come to know him.
My exposure to VOAT and then GAW has led me to a growing faith in the following 'formula': The Heavenly Father's only Begotten Son>Jehovah>Christ Jesus, the Alpha and Omega. The God the prophets were inspired by fulfilled those prophecies at Gethsemane and Golgotha. "See woman, I have made all things new"; of course He stilled the waters.. The saga continues.
You are inseparable from God. Your body soul and mind created by Him. Meaningless and without form save for His power. There is no Mistake, there are only Lessons.
Look what you said, for your words themselves form a riddle from God to You, and I will provide the answer.
"I am not worthy of God and His grace."
That is,
"I AM(Yah-Weh); not worthy of God and His grace."
Now how can that be, that Yahweh would not be worthy of God and His grace?
Yet it is true. How can one be 'worthy' of that which has been theirs from the beginning of time? Worthy of your calling and task?
It is not up to you to be 'worthy.' No one can be worthy and deserving of infinite honor, power, glory, and might.
And yet it is yours. The weight of sin is irrelevant. It is nothing, it is less than nothing, it is without existence in comparison to the might of God.
We are One with God. We are His. We are Chosen. He has sanctified us and he has saved us, throughout all the ages and outside of time and matter.
You are not here to live a blameless and perfect life
You are here to learn and to grow.
This is a nail on the head for me. Evil as deep as I have seen has made God very real to me. There has to be a counter opposition. Now I know anything less than Christ is harm to children. Ill never go back now
Avoiding "conspiracy theories" is nothing more than pretending evil doesn't exist.
I sure never thought about it like this until you'd pointed it out, but that is spot on. Most people who try to avoid the issue are either too naïve or too trusting in the veil that hides the worst kinds of evil.
There is no running tab of what you have good ✅ bad. Do not let that consume you. Try to walk in the footsteps of Christ daily, but know that you will sin, we all do, but repent and know that God forgives his children, always, in his unlimited mercy. Have FAITH and you will be saved.
No human is able to follow the 10 commandments perfectly. That is why God designed a solution to pay for our sin. He is Jesus, who died and paid for our sin and then rose from the dead showing that He conquered both death and sin and proving He is God.
No one is going to be just fine trying to follow the law and be a good person without getting that pesky sin problem taken care of. Jesus and accepting His grace is the only way.
Exactly. The law, the 'commandments' only existed to serve the purpose of showing the Jews that they couldn't possibly keep them and that they needed a savior. How ironic that so many rejected Him when he showed up.
Evil, Biblically speaking, is rebellion from God. The spectrum you see is God vs satan (a fallen high-level cherub (kind of angel) that is essentially trying a coup.). God gave us all free will, and Evil is actively acting out the opposite of what God wants for us, and the world. This rebellion is only active for a time, and then satan will be judged and all those who do not receive the salvation from sin through Jesus Christ will go with him.
Being raised in a religious household doesn't mean you were ever a Christian. If you were, you are finding your way back. If you never were, consider praying this simple little prayer (in your own words.) "God, I don't know what I believe. I wasn't sure you were real, but now I wonder. I just want to know the truth. Lord, if you are real, please reveal yourself to me." The only caveat is to be sincere; no mocking, no flippancy. Just humble yourself and ask the God of all creation to reveal Himself to you. You'll get your answer. God bless.
Meh. Taoism close enough but it's not quite on the mark. Reality is a shade more optimistic than Taoists would have you believe. We ARE the terrifying force dominating this planet and we are eternal and we are completely separate from these bodies we enjoy. Taoism has people more stuck inside of their bodies and stranded in the universe in general, with a very nonspecific existence outside of the universe. They are NOT off the mark. They speak truth. But there is much to know that they either do not acknowledge, do not know, or choose to ignore.
Fren, we have entered the era where religion is fading away, and people are connecting directly to God through direct relationship.
Religion was only ever intended to bring us to the place where we can build the real and living relationship with the Divine. But each of us here stands on the shoulders of those that came before us. We have inherited a foundation that is greater than we know.
Christians today can have a much closer and more intimate relationship with Christ and God than they could one hundred or two hundred years ago.
While I affirm that Christ is the ultimate doorway through which all can be reunited perfectly with the Father, I also know that each religion, faith, and practice that is rooted in goodness and mobilized by "a good heart" is simply a variation on the primary theme of reuniting with the Creator.
In other words, they are brothers & sisters, not enemies and not competitors, if we could but understand.
God is pleased the spark he placed in your souls has become a flame fren... He gave you 10 commandments...follow them. Have faith in Gods covenant to us through Christ, remain humble in the eyes of the Lord and pray....these are what are expected of you.
Blessings for you fren.... you will find comfort in the love of God.
The realization of course meant that I had to admit to myself that I have been lied to most of my life, and that I fell for those lies. Acceptance was easy though, as I will use what I have learned to carry on, and not dwell on the past.
Once I said conversationally “God’s never spoken to me.” This wacky old guy, who we all knew was a convert to LDS ffs, said matter of factly “Have you asked?” So I did. Lots of stuff happened. Two years later I received the Sacrament of Chrismation in the Orthodox Faith. (I do like those hats)
Im an utterly unlikely candidate for such a thing.
That’s their specialty. (Think of Putin)
I don’t know how to DM you on this platform so I’ll reply publicly. I admire your courage to emigrate to Rus. It can’t be easy. I’d follow Him anywhere also, but seem to have been placed as needed. We all get our cup.
Were you born Orthodox? Did you learn Russian before emigrating? Have you been accepted there?
I’m not envious, of course, as I’m “sitting in Daddy’s lap” right where I am, but I wish you joy and peace. I’m interested how you did it, and how it goes now. Please message me privately if you know how to do it. Sorry I don’t.
I was an atheist when I was a teen. I believe it was repressed anger that made me resist Jesus.
When I was in college, a friend mentioned being a christian, and I told her that I didn’t believe in God. She asked me if I was angry about some things that happened to me when I was younger?
I thought about it, and it struck me that I was angry. She told me how God can truly set me free from that anger. I began learning the Word and searching for a Church. That was over 20 years ago. Thanks to her.
I am just trying to be a better person, too many traps to fall into I find if you go full on Christian. What does that even mean? To me it means attending a church and pushing and policing others, that to me is fake big church that achieves nothing but isolation. I think privately trying to become a better person through your own personal relationship is the goal, too many of you emulate the very big church police attitude that pushes people away from Jesus because they want to get away from big church. I consider attending church the same way I consider seeing a shrink, I like the idea of it but I cannot trust any of them.
I recommend starting with small churches. Just don't idolize anyone, even the most saintly person needs Jesus forgiveness on a frequent basis. But communal worship, support, prayer, fellowship, they're all super important.
Church is also full of sinners who have become saints who still struggle with sin and are imperfect. I would agree that the goal is getting to know Christ personally, but He designed the church for believers to rub shoulders with one another while doing life (sharpen iron with iron).
I am struggling with being disenchanted with church too right now, but I know from past experience, the wrong thing is to go it alone.
Find a small church preaching the Word and forsaking worldly wisdom. I know of no perfect church and these times are even more challenging, but the real true gospel is uniting to believers and as a part of relationship with Jesus, it is very important to be a part of an active church.
What is being a 'better person?' What is good enough? Jesus said nobody is good.
"God, if you really do exist, I want to know you. I want to know the truth. Please, reveal yourself to me." A simple little prayer like that is all it takes as long as you humble yourself and pray sincerely. No mocking. And as for disliking big churches, you know, there are plenty of small ones out there. Many more than the big ones, even. God bless.
I don't go to church as it's too formal for me. I grew up in church and that laid the foundation for my relationship with the Lord. I speak to him almost daily. Ask for things I/we need and thank for what I've received and most importantly, I ask for forgiveness.
Was an inactive Christian for a long time. Believed, but didn't truly pursue the faith, try to be more like Jesus. TGA exposed me to the evil the world is truly capable of. I flinched and fell back into the arms of the lord. Strong faith ever since.
I like to follow this board for the occasional hopium dose and interesting perspective on things you don't get on PDW. We may not win the battle for our country, we may never win again. But I am content Bc God has the final say and his is the final kingdom. Vengeance is the lords. All that keeps me going sometimes. Makes me happy that others found their faith here too. God bless
I'm an atheists and I seriously doubt anything anyone said here would change my mind. However I've been an atheists my entire life(50) even though I've lived in one part or another of GA my entire life. Living in the buckle of the bible belt I've heard it all. I grew up Baptist then Mormon till about 14-15 and I quit church for good.
I mention this because I have a theory that might shed some light if you are perhaps a converted leftist. Socialism/Communism is not an atheistic form of government. Its not secular in any way. Its actually a theocracy. Members of the Church of Communism worship the government itself like a god. The halls of government are their churches. The halls of education are their temples.
In fact much like Islam I would go so far as to say that it thoroughly breaks the 1st Amendment. It is impossible to separate church from state when dealing with the religion of Communism. That is the problem we have now. These lunatics have convinced the USA that the absence of a religious god is the default state of separation of church and state. They have removed prayer, 10 commandments, statues, etc... They fail to mention that they are replacing them with a worship of authority and a worship of the government itself as though its a god.
I'm all for getting rid of god but to do so without replacing the role it fills in society and the mental well being of millions of people is fool hearty and unhealthy. The communist would replace those functions with belief that the government will solve all your problems for you all you have to do is give up control/obey. Which is obviously a fools errand because once you give up control leaders at the top instantly become corrupt etc etc. Or at least then they show their true colors.
So without knowing your story I would just say look at how/why you considered yourself an atheist. You might find that you never one and in truth you just switched from worshiping the government/authority to worshiping god. I'm not trying to judge you. Just pointing out that in truth there are still very few true atheists in this world. Most people are agnostic and don't even realize the difference.
Tons of these leftists believe themselves to be atheists when in reality they are some of the worst religious zealots around. They believe with all their heart and soul the government is all powerful, all knowing, and will solve all their problems if they just believe hard enough. That's why they seem like crazed lunatics.
"God, I have never believed you exist. Why should I? It's pretty obvious there is no such thing as a Supreme Being who created the universe and everything in it. But, I know enough to know that I don't know everything. And I do like truth. So just in case you do exist, I want to know, because I want to know the truth. God, if you do exist, please reveal yourself to me." A simple prayer like that, in your own words, and said humbly and sincerely will get you the answer you crave. God bless.
I was raised as a Christian and believed for awhile until roughly the end of middle school. I considered myself an atheist for a few year then an agnostic and now I consider myself a Christian again now because of tga but because of trump. Trumps talk of Christian and American values lining inspired me to look inward at myself and inspired me to read scripture again. I started to find scripture that actually spoke to me and made sense of what was going on in the world.
Oddly enough I sat down with my grandparents a few months ago and my grandma told me that she got a prayer group to pray for me awhile ago and asked for God to reach out to me in a way that I would understand and would listen. Right around that time Is also when I started to hop on the trump train and stopped being a Bernie bro.
Jesus is the ultimate red pill. Glad you got on board that train, fren.
☝🏻😂😂😂
I wish I could updoot this more than once lol

The book is a long slough, but fascinating if you keep your eyes open. All from a very Catholic position, both historically and spiritually.
From what he said, I thought it might be interesting to read sometime. I don't agree with everything he says (e.g. I'm not RC), but I think his presentation of Logos / anti-Logos is correct and a good explanation of what is going on in the world today.
He speaks a lot about the subversion of the RCC, but about many other issues as well. You don't have to agree with everything a writer says, in fact, it is best you do not and do further research on your own.
I've read several of his books over the years and various talks on the webs.I would suggest others check him out as well.
Thanks for the suggestion, putting it on my list.
I rejected God, but He never gave up on me. So grateful for His mercy.
I'm continually amazed by His mercy and love.
You may think you rejected God but He won’t let you reject Him. Jesus will leave the 99 to bring back the one. God has gifted you with salvation because of your faith fren.
Me too. Not rejected exactly, but angry, disappointed and alone when my Mom died.
But yet he still gave me blessings and teachings and I'm back. I don't understand everything, but know now that I don't need to.
God Wins and when he's ready he'll come for me and then I will have the answers I seek.
Yeah, I don't feel I need to know all the answers as long as I know the One who does.
I used to worship the devil, now I fight for the light of god eternally
And all the angels in Heaven rejoiced when you recieved Christ. Praise God 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I still struggle forgiving myself but I thank the lord for his mercy. His forgiveness is all I need. Life has been very dark for me, and I thank God, because it will only make the light of heaven even brighter.
I too had a short stint with satanism years ago. I felt the same way, about struggling to forgive myself, and as well as feeling like I wasn't worthy of God's love. Months ago my Bible fell and it landed on Isaiah 30. Honestly Isaiah 30:15-23 hit home with me personally in relation to the aforementioned things.
Perfect. Indeed
🙏 A testament to His glory. God bless you, fren.
Praise God!!
I always believed but never practiced and at times felt betrayed but now I see I didn't understand and my life has been better since I started practicing to be a good Christian.
This is me also. My attitude, health, feelings, are all improved, and I no longer feel like a slave to my impulses. When satan tries tempting me I say “I wish you’d get out of my life and shut up”
Yes, we can only be angry at two things: Ourselves, when we sin, and Satan and the demons who tempt us. That's it!
Jesus loves the little Pepes, all the Pepes of the world....
This had me howling 😂😂😂
go on.
I was a normal Christian but the great awakening has changed me to Christianity+++
I won't say what that is, it's up to you to ask the Q and learn for yourself.
Heyyyy here's one of my people eh???
Why?
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 NIV
https://acts.bible/acts-17-11
To be honest, I'm not even sure if what I now know world even be called Christianity anymore. I suppose technically it is, but it's so different from what mainstream churches teach that I'd be kicked out to the street if I spoke things I now know in a church.
ie: Bill Donahue
I was raised Catholic, and don't trust any religion. I thought that made me a sinner
I have faith in Jesus Christ, but seeing the evil of religion and being the "only one" seeing things that way made me think Jesus was not happy with me. So I laid low, didn't pray much because I felt I didn't deserve to.
I love this place and the God loving Patriots I've come across here and in my life that belonged to no church and showed it's ok to only belong to Jesus Christ.
What'll really bake your noodle is when you realize that Christ is within, and belongs to YOU.
What is Christ?
I do know Christ is within.
What IS Christ?
The way you ask makes me think no matter what I say I'll be wrong, but...
Christ is the Son Of God. God is in us just like he was in Jesus. He breathed life into us and therefore we are a part of Him.
Be more specific.
Define 'Christ' etymologically
Christ is a title. There was more than Jesus with that title?!
It means he who talks directly to God. I talk directly to God. I'm am a sheep; I am not a Christ
The title given to Jesus? The anointed one? The deliverer & Healer
Some people I have spoken to believe we were created in Gods image and that means we are Gods.
Isn't that the definition of blasphemy?
I have said this before, been a huge liberal most my adult life. Not as extreme as you associate with "liberal" now, but had you basic assumptions about me down to a tee. Tree-hugging, anti-war, anti-establishment, affordable healthcare and so on. Was pretty hippie-dippy too, believed in the energies of Mother Nature over all else.

Yep, Trump vs pedophiles has been an eye opener for many. So glad to hear your journey brought you to God in prayer, as he alone gives true peace. He loves each of us beyond our capacity to comprehend.
"God, I don't know if you exist. I never believed you did. But if you do, I want to know the truth. Please reveal yourself to me." A simple prayer like that, said with humbleness and with zero mockery will get your answer.
Meditate more. Listen to Sadhguru. Check out kundaliniandcelltowers.com . Ignore people who claim to be in touch with their chakras and shit, those of us in the know do not bother to boast about such pointlessly simple things. Do not overthink astrology or crystals. Do not overthink extraterrestrials or anything for that matter. Get in touch with yourself. Practice critical thinking and trust no one.
You'll get that dial down to a comfy 6 or 7 soon enough brother.
The Ultimate Redpill, indeed. That's why "they" hate Jesus so much, and have to deny God any chance they get.
👋🏻 Recovering liberal Oregonian who lived in San Fran for 3 years - I kept the veganism but left behind the demons. And I fell back into the arms of my beautiful Jesus Christ, savior and father. I cleaned up my act, moved to a red state, married the love of my life (after feeding him the red pill in 2016) and now we have 1 beautiful little girl and a handsome boy on the way. I am gunna toxic masculine the shit out of that based baby boy of mine. Heck yeah.
Please drop the vegan stuff and don't push that on kids. It's not healthy. You are missing important nutrients. Pills are not the same. They wanted to wean the human cattle off real protein because they wanted us in camps eating bugs. God bless! 🙏🇺🇸
Lol plus!! I used to be like mega chonky and now Im only a little chonky. I don’t think anything’s gunna change my mind 😂😂😂
Don’t worry about my diet Im as healthy as a horse 🐴 been healthy eating this way for 5-6 years and husband going on 11 years. Libs hijacked the vegan diet and zombified it a bit but I promise its not that taboo and a lot of folks can flourish well on a plant based diet despite propaganda on both sides. I don’t particularly plan on debating anyone over the choice, but I can confirm my walk with Christ has been wonderful and I feel great eating this way. Not judging anyone who eats meat, nor do I consume the fake plant meats which Ive read may contain stem cells gross. But rest assured I get every nutrient I need - pills or not! God bless you too.
Not expecting a reply, but if you want strong boys and girls I insist that you need to feed them a well-rounded diet. Gotta keep your awakening going some more to get where you want to go, fren. I have a patriot in my circle who is sticking to veganism and is just not as resilient to what the DS is doing. But that’s a valid choice for adults. However, please think twice before taking good food away from your children.
🥰 Beautiful, so happy for you. I love my boys with every fiber in me. I was never blessed with a daughter but would have loved to be. God really blesses us with unbelievable love for our children. Those who never have children miss out on that wonderful reciprocal love.
Im excited to meet my son! I feel bad for my lib friends who are missing out in being parents. They intentionally don’t want to have kids for many reasons. Its so sad
I recommend teaching your boys (specifically) how to shoot, how to use ropes (knots), start a camp fire, use a compass and a map, love the outdoors (find something he loves and feed it), and socialize him with both girls and outgoing boys. Go camping, overlanding, hunting, hiking, etc.
If he's not good at sports, help him find something masculine and to get physical exercise to build muscle starting in Junior High. Feed him lots of meat. Help him build a bulletproof confidence, while spending time helping people less fortunate (so he develops healthy empathy, instead of insecurity). Raising kids is a full-time job also.
my 2 cents, blessings to you.
I remember when the Boy Scouts used to do this...
Yeah, shame that.
Grow a little. I was a vegan for 2 years and then longer but on and on/off basis. Started with the horrific realization that humanity is little more than organized vampires with the whole world captive to our murderous desire. Ended with the realization that ignoring this INSTINCT, yes instinct, only made me a MISERABLE vampire and did not make me any less a vampire. There are no vegan apes, pretty much every sort of monkey will kill and eat things, even enemies of their own species given half a chance. Gorillas in the mist fairytales are idealistic at best, every single monkey is fucking brutal as shit, the smarter the more dangerous. The human is the ultimate vampire, the coldest most honed killer on the face of planet, the height of terrifying, the ultimate Scary Thing In The Dark.
/endrant
So, throughout my excursions with DMT I encountered some aliens that 'encouraged'(THREATENED) me to return to my vegan lifestyle. After about a year I decided I wasn't scared anymore and went back to eating meat. Lo and behold I didn't even fall down dead!
The fake meat is like really really bad for you so don't eat that. Also a good medium-rare steak every now and then does a body good. You don't have to go with the American thing, Meat At Every Meal, but just as it helps various animals get a nice shiny coat it does a body good to get some good old fashioned murder in your system.
Eating is not sin, just as sex is not sin, just as wealth is not sin. As long as you have that Healthy Detachment and awareness of all things God you should be pretty much good.
Hey thanks for your opinion man take care 👍🏻 God bless
Thanks 😀 important emphasis on "I'm not tryina change ur diet just share experience" lol
Congratulations, you are so blessed!

These are the Christian Youtubers I follow. The hashtags can be put in the YouTube search bar to go to their channels.
Particularly, the first three focus on Christian daily life and improvement, but all of these channels are about receiving words from the Lord that 45 will be back soon. Other words of theirs have already been fulfilled, but they're very godly people to check out.
ElijahStreams hosts these people and could be the sole youtuber to follow as the other channels regularly appear on here. I'd definitely subscribe to the first 3 and ElijahStreams.
Real Christian music ( that actually praises Jesus) is making a comeback as well.
I've been listens to Lauren Daigle a lot. And Vivaldi... I have deleted so much music I bought over the years, lol.
Thanks, I will check her out.. Dolly Parton has been teeming up with young country gospel artists lately,, going back to her roots. Check out her song with Zach Williams if you don't know it, it made my soul shine. She's also worked with Hank Williams grand son, but I do not now any of that, there is no relation to Zach afaik.
Dolly's song with Zach Williams:
https://youtu.be/37wV6D49iEY
And also check out his solo stuff, the show he did at a Georgia state prison, it is especially moving. He has a story of his own "rescue story" of being saved:
https://youtu.be/bDnA_coA168
The testimonies in the comments are powerful as well.
God bless!
Thank you!! I'll def give them a listen. :)
I never heard Zach Williams before, he's awesome. I always loved Dolly's voice :)
I love her, her voice is as real and true as her soul. Let me know what you think of Williams as well. I have never listened to' Christian" musi, as it is mostly garbage that intentionally avoids Christ and his messages.The resurgence of Christian music that is vocally Christ-based gives me hope.
Williams is amazing!! I will definitely be listening to him. Yes, the comments on his YT are a refreshing blessing to read.
Your user names makes me smile. I haven't been fishing in so long. I live in the shadow of Lake Ontario, grew up fishing with my Dad (learned ice fishing isn't my thing lol).
Heading to Florida soon I cannot wait to go fishing. :)
I believe you will be inspired, amazing voice and message. Dolly is a beautiful child of God, a blessing to this world. She did go Hollywood to make a large career, avoiding the satanic aspects I believe, and could do so because of her huge talent. believe in her older years, she is using her clout to bring gospel music back to Jesus, where it has not been for decades.
Psalm 5:11
But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.
Psalm 32:11
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Singing for the Lord is the most pure form of music.
Yes it's is the most pure firm of music.
Someone said when you are being creative (music, painting, etc) and in the 'zone' you're the closest to the face of God :)
Not just close, but one with Him. God using using you as his instrument!!
You're my kind of people.
I came to a belief in a higher power when I got sober many years ago, it gradually grew in me. I came to see that my life had been a total disaster and that I had been serving other spirits. So I was already of a spiritual nature when I first found Q and was receptive to the spiritual side of this phenomenon and movement.
God's power is everywhere. Continue in your faith. It really is quite insane how very real, how very relevant, how very in-your-face it all is. I can't even begin to describe, though I can answer questions. There once was a time when I did not believe God surely existed. Now I am not sure if anything exists OTHER than God, I am so very surrounded by His power, His love, and His words.
My hand is raised. I wasn’t atheist, but agnostic for sure. I knew there was a God but I just didn’t know him. Thanks to GAW or TGA or whatever this joint is called, I’ve come to know him.
Rejoicing with you. Welcome to the family.
My exposure to VOAT and then GAW has led me to a growing faith in the following 'formula': The Heavenly Father's only Begotten Son>Jehovah>Christ Jesus, the Alpha and Omega. The God the prophets were inspired by fulfilled those prophecies at Gethsemane and Golgotha. "See woman, I have made all things new"; of course He stilled the waters.. The saga continues.
Says Satan in your mind...
Listen to Christ instead.
these anons speak the truth...
listen to your heart.
Nobody is, mega. Nobody is.
You are inseparable from God. Your body soul and mind created by Him. Meaningless and without form save for His power. There is no Mistake, there are only Lessons.
Look what you said, for your words themselves form a riddle from God to You, and I will provide the answer.
"I am not worthy of God and His grace."
That is,
"I AM(Yah-Weh); not worthy of God and His grace."
Now how can that be, that Yahweh would not be worthy of God and His grace?
Yet it is true. How can one be 'worthy' of that which has been theirs from the beginning of time? Worthy of your calling and task?
It is not up to you to be 'worthy.' No one can be worthy and deserving of infinite honor, power, glory, and might.
And yet it is yours. The weight of sin is irrelevant. It is nothing, it is less than nothing, it is without existence in comparison to the might of God.
We are One with God. We are His. We are Chosen. He has sanctified us and he has saved us, throughout all the ages and outside of time and matter.
You are not here to live a blameless and perfect life You are here to learn and to grow.
Glad to have you fren!
This is a nail on the head for me. Evil as deep as I have seen has made God very real to me. There has to be a counter opposition. Now I know anything less than Christ is harm to children. Ill never go back now
I sure never thought about it like this until you'd pointed it out, but that is spot on. Most people who try to avoid the issue are either too naïve or too trusting in the veil that hides the worst kinds of evil.
There is no running tab of what you have good ✅ bad. Do not let that consume you. Try to walk in the footsteps of Christ daily, but know that you will sin, we all do, but repent and know that God forgives his children, always, in his unlimited mercy. Have FAITH and you will be saved.
It probably goes without saying but you want to confess that Jesus died for your sins and repent from them. Glory to God!
A refresher from church:
No human is able to follow the 10 commandments perfectly. That is why God designed a solution to pay for our sin. He is Jesus, who died and paid for our sin and then rose from the dead showing that He conquered both death and sin and proving He is God.
No one is going to be just fine trying to follow the law and be a good person without getting that pesky sin problem taken care of. Jesus and accepting His grace is the only way.
Exactly. The law, the 'commandments' only existed to serve the purpose of showing the Jews that they couldn't possibly keep them and that they needed a savior. How ironic that so many rejected Him when he showed up.
Evil, Biblically speaking, is rebellion from God. The spectrum you see is God vs satan (a fallen high-level cherub (kind of angel) that is essentially trying a coup.). God gave us all free will, and Evil is actively acting out the opposite of what God wants for us, and the world. This rebellion is only active for a time, and then satan will be judged and all those who do not receive the salvation from sin through Jesus Christ will go with him.
Being raised in a religious household doesn't mean you were ever a Christian. If you were, you are finding your way back. If you never were, consider praying this simple little prayer (in your own words.) "God, I don't know what I believe. I wasn't sure you were real, but now I wonder. I just want to know the truth. Lord, if you are real, please reveal yourself to me." The only caveat is to be sincere; no mocking, no flippancy. Just humble yourself and ask the God of all creation to reveal Himself to you. You'll get your answer. God bless.

& if able, pass it on.
I am not a Christian but I do firmly believe in God as a Daoist. This last year has made me a closer believer of God than any other time in history.
Find your way to him. He will guide you.
"God, I want to know you. I want to know the truth. Please reveal yourself to me."
Said sincerely and humbly, you will get your answer.
There is a book called “Christ the Eternal Tao”. I recommend it strongly.
Meh. Taoism close enough but it's not quite on the mark. Reality is a shade more optimistic than Taoists would have you believe. We ARE the terrifying force dominating this planet and we are eternal and we are completely separate from these bodies we enjoy. Taoism has people more stuck inside of their bodies and stranded in the universe in general, with a very nonspecific existence outside of the universe. They are NOT off the mark. They speak truth. But there is much to know that they either do not acknowledge, do not know, or choose to ignore.
To each's own.
Manmade interpretation of God is man-made.
A good heart is the foundation of being closer to God.
Well said.
Fren, we have entered the era where religion is fading away, and people are connecting directly to God through direct relationship.
Religion was only ever intended to bring us to the place where we can build the real and living relationship with the Divine. But each of us here stands on the shoulders of those that came before us. We have inherited a foundation that is greater than we know.
Christians today can have a much closer and more intimate relationship with Christ and God than they could one hundred or two hundred years ago.
While I affirm that Christ is the ultimate doorway through which all can be reunited perfectly with the Father, I also know that each religion, faith, and practice that is rooted in goodness and mobilized by "a good heart" is simply a variation on the primary theme of reuniting with the Creator.
In other words, they are brothers & sisters, not enemies and not competitors, if we could but understand.
Agreed.
Just be good. Good will find you too.
This Deist could not agree with that more.
God is pleased the spark he placed in your souls has become a flame fren... He gave you 10 commandments...follow them. Have faith in Gods covenant to us through Christ, remain humble in the eyes of the Lord and pray....these are what are expected of you.
Blessings for you fren.... you will find comfort in the love of God.
I was a brainwashed atheist lefty. This movement has saved my soul. I'm so grateful to have found my way. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
raises hand
The realization of course meant that I had to admit to myself that I have been lied to most of my life, and that I fell for those lies. Acceptance was easy though, as I will use what I have learned to carry on, and not dwell on the past.
Was always 100% anti-religion, anti-god. Was too smart for it. Awakened this year
It's humbling when you realize you aren't smarter than God.
Once I said conversationally “God’s never spoken to me.” This wacky old guy, who we all knew was a convert to LDS ffs, said matter of factly “Have you asked?” So I did. Lots of stuff happened. Two years later I received the Sacrament of Chrismation in the Orthodox Faith. (I do like those hats) Im an utterly unlikely candidate for such a thing. That’s their specialty. (Think of Putin)
Greetings from a fellow Russian Orthodox anon! We moved from America to Russia just before the coof hit!
I don’t know how to DM you on this platform so I’ll reply publicly. I admire your courage to emigrate to Rus. It can’t be easy. I’d follow Him anywhere also, but seem to have been placed as needed. We all get our cup.
Were you born Orthodox? Did you learn Russian before emigrating? Have you been accepted there?
I’m not envious, of course, as I’m “sitting in Daddy’s lap” right where I am, but I wish you joy and peace. I’m interested how you did it, and how it goes now. Please message me privately if you know how to do it. Sorry I don’t.
I was an atheist when I was a teen. I believe it was repressed anger that made me resist Jesus.
When I was in college, a friend mentioned being a christian, and I told her that I didn’t believe in God. She asked me if I was angry about some things that happened to me when I was younger?
I thought about it, and it struck me that I was angry. She told me how God can truly set me free from that anger. I began learning the Word and searching for a Church. That was over 20 years ago. Thanks to her.
Great testimony. Interesting how her question set you on the path.
I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’ve found the Truth!!
I am just trying to be a better person, too many traps to fall into I find if you go full on Christian. What does that even mean? To me it means attending a church and pushing and policing others, that to me is fake big church that achieves nothing but isolation. I think privately trying to become a better person through your own personal relationship is the goal, too many of you emulate the very big church police attitude that pushes people away from Jesus because they want to get away from big church. I consider attending church the same way I consider seeing a shrink, I like the idea of it but I cannot trust any of them.
OTOH, "Where 2 or 3 have gathered in my name, I am there" I have experienced this personally and can testify I did feel a great Presence.
I recommend starting with small churches. Just don't idolize anyone, even the most saintly person needs Jesus forgiveness on a frequent basis. But communal worship, support, prayer, fellowship, they're all super important.
Church is also full of sinners who have become saints who still struggle with sin and are imperfect. I would agree that the goal is getting to know Christ personally, but He designed the church for believers to rub shoulders with one another while doing life (sharpen iron with iron).
I am struggling with being disenchanted with church too right now, but I know from past experience, the wrong thing is to go it alone.
Find a small church preaching the Word and forsaking worldly wisdom. I know of no perfect church and these times are even more challenging, but the real true gospel is uniting to believers and as a part of relationship with Jesus, it is very important to be a part of an active church.
What is being a 'better person?' What is good enough? Jesus said nobody is good.
"God, if you really do exist, I want to know you. I want to know the truth. Please, reveal yourself to me." A simple little prayer like that is all it takes as long as you humble yourself and pray sincerely. No mocking. And as for disliking big churches, you know, there are plenty of small ones out there. Many more than the big ones, even. God bless.
I don't go to church as it's too formal for me. I grew up in church and that laid the foundation for my relationship with the Lord. I speak to him almost daily. Ask for things I/we need and thank for what I've received and most importantly, I ask for forgiveness.
Glad to have you. All glory goes to God.
Congratulations! Stay close to Jesus in prayer every day, and he will lead you.
Was an inactive Christian for a long time. Believed, but didn't truly pursue the faith, try to be more like Jesus. TGA exposed me to the evil the world is truly capable of. I flinched and fell back into the arms of the lord. Strong faith ever since.
I like to follow this board for the occasional hopium dose and interesting perspective on things you don't get on PDW. We may not win the battle for our country, we may never win again. But I am content Bc God has the final say and his is the final kingdom. Vengeance is the lords. All that keeps me going sometimes. Makes me happy that others found their faith here too. God bless
I'm an atheists and I seriously doubt anything anyone said here would change my mind. However I've been an atheists my entire life(50) even though I've lived in one part or another of GA my entire life. Living in the buckle of the bible belt I've heard it all. I grew up Baptist then Mormon till about 14-15 and I quit church for good.
I mention this because I have a theory that might shed some light if you are perhaps a converted leftist. Socialism/Communism is not an atheistic form of government. Its not secular in any way. Its actually a theocracy. Members of the Church of Communism worship the government itself like a god. The halls of government are their churches. The halls of education are their temples.
In fact much like Islam I would go so far as to say that it thoroughly breaks the 1st Amendment. It is impossible to separate church from state when dealing with the religion of Communism. That is the problem we have now. These lunatics have convinced the USA that the absence of a religious god is the default state of separation of church and state. They have removed prayer, 10 commandments, statues, etc... They fail to mention that they are replacing them with a worship of authority and a worship of the government itself as though its a god.
I'm all for getting rid of god but to do so without replacing the role it fills in society and the mental well being of millions of people is fool hearty and unhealthy. The communist would replace those functions with belief that the government will solve all your problems for you all you have to do is give up control/obey. Which is obviously a fools errand because once you give up control leaders at the top instantly become corrupt etc etc. Or at least then they show their true colors.
So without knowing your story I would just say look at how/why you considered yourself an atheist. You might find that you never one and in truth you just switched from worshiping the government/authority to worshiping god. I'm not trying to judge you. Just pointing out that in truth there are still very few true atheists in this world. Most people are agnostic and don't even realize the difference.
Tons of these leftists believe themselves to be atheists when in reality they are some of the worst religious zealots around. They believe with all their heart and soul the government is all powerful, all knowing, and will solve all their problems if they just believe hard enough. That's why they seem like crazed lunatics.
"God, I have never believed you exist. Why should I? It's pretty obvious there is no such thing as a Supreme Being who created the universe and everything in it. But, I know enough to know that I don't know everything. And I do like truth. So just in case you do exist, I want to know, because I want to know the truth. God, if you do exist, please reveal yourself to me." A simple prayer like that, in your own words, and said humbly and sincerely will get you the answer you crave. God bless.
I was raised as a Christian and believed for awhile until roughly the end of middle school. I considered myself an atheist for a few year then an agnostic and now I consider myself a Christian again now because of tga but because of trump. Trumps talk of Christian and American values lining inspired me to look inward at myself and inspired me to read scripture again. I started to find scripture that actually spoke to me and made sense of what was going on in the world. Oddly enough I sat down with my grandparents a few months ago and my grandma told me that she got a prayer group to pray for me awhile ago and asked for God to reach out to me in a way that I would understand and would listen. Right around that time Is also when I started to hop on the trump train and stopped being a Bernie bro.
Aww, grandma's who love God and their grandbabies. Priceless. Lucky you.
It wasnt GA but "red pills" in general that brought me closer to divinity.
