Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an intergral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on it's evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Isn't our purpose to be free human beings? Not weighed down by shackles of guilt and ignorance of our true past and what we are here to accomplish? Or do you see life as meaningless in terms of spiritual growth is and development? Do you think that we are here to learn and grow?
You talk about destination? What destination? Each individual grows spiritually at different rates..it is not possible to grow at the same rate as everybody else........to talk about the collective is a communist ideaology isn it?
I don't understand what your meaning of territory is?
I understood the great awakening was about truth..bubbles has it as his motto..the truth shall set you free and I know myself it does. It's why I post here..to help others find the truth and how all the ancients left clues as to how to find the truth of this world.
The kingdom of God on earth and in heaven you say has been a necessary abstraction conceptual and informed. by a lot of ignorance .
.can I say here deliberate lies and made up stories too...and it's good we here at bubbles page know the value of truth and I am glad we are in agreement about this.
I certainly don't want to waste my energy and time on anything less than the truth...what say you?
Outside of Christ - there is no true freedom.
The entire United States, and that is based on freedom, was created by Bible believing Christians.
A conceptualization:
True freedom has two essential components; one is inner freedom, aka freedom of the heart, the mind, thought aka free will. The other is external freedom, the freedom to execute, and enact that free will.
Those who are enslaved to sin are not internally free: their free will is compromised, and curtailed by the devil.
Those who are enslaved to a tyrant, whether it be a government, a corporation, or some other person or power, are not free to exercise that free will God gave them.
All external freedom emerges on the basis of internal freedom. This is why the United States, and the idea of the United States, came only on the foundation of 4000+ years of God's providence through the Israelites and then Christianity. The ethics derived from the teachings of Christ are the basis of recovering freedom in the world. Eventually, this must be fulfilled in the USA and must spread beyond the USA. We are at that stage.
Nothing can stop what is coming!
Sometimes we must clear our current understanding to be able to gain new understanding. U went into explaining but I don't think u ever understood the true nature of his message.
New wine? Get yourself some new wine skins.
Again and again and again.
Now we see dimly, as in a mirror. But THEN (soon? now? ) I will know, EVEN AS I am known.
<who knows me fully? God and Christ. So, our destiny is for our understanding to be raised to the level that God and Christ understand re: ourselves. Perfection, however, is only possible through Christ.
All we can do is keep praying for this person. He is completely blinded by Satan, and the New Age cult. It’s so sad. Every day he digs heels, and deeper and deeper. All the while, not knowing that his eternal future is at risk. Truth!
I'm with you guys on this.
That said, I've walked in his shoes myself. Let's hope he gets where he needs to go. It's strange, having found the ease of Christ, to see someone putting so much effort into what I know to be a dead end path. But that's the challenge God puts before some of us.

Like you, I can relate to UK. I think I see where a lot of this is coming from, but it will take a LOT to unpack and untwist everything. I hope she figures it out. (She? he?)
