Re: i need enlightenment?

hi. this is my first ever post here. If it is the truth you need you need go no further than your Lord. Every time l ask my Lord a question about what is right and what is wrong He says " you know " . And then l realise that yes in fact I do know. Our Lord is perfect and to enter his realm to be perfect would be nice but we are sinners and cannot come close to His perfection. Your question would be answered if you really wanted to know but the truth is not always realistic to your plans and we are sinners anyway. However we do our best to be like our Lord but what he really wants from us is so difficult for us to do we settle for the answeres that will do and not the real answere that will bring us to Him. Sincerely, Mooskee.

Re: i need enlightenment?

mooskee thankyou and inlove and everyone else thankyou for the input, i really did sit down and think about this and i do realise that i am putting words in my mouth which others have placed there, before they started to judge me i thought my circumstances weren't wrong because in my eyes i was as pure or maybe purer than a bride so therefore i believe that i should go with my heart and my heart tells me that i love JESUS so much with everything i have. bless you all. xo <img>

Eh? In what way will signing a civil document and a tax document therefore change you into a Christian?

In the days of early Christianity, you could be considered "married" simply by living together.

Re: i need enlightenment?

Welcome to CR LIFE!
I just wanted to add my own imput in response to your post that you were listening to other's judgements of you and taking them as truth.
Always remember that YOU are the only person who can understand what is in your heart and mind. People that judge others do so based on their own experiences and opinions and can't possibly Know for a fact what is right for you. You must base what is right for you on what you believe yourself and only that. Whats right for one is not (always) right for another.
So, to end, if you believe in your heart that what you are doing is wrong, then change. But if you believe that it is right for you, then Good for you in following your own path!

Thanks for listening to my view!

Re: i need enlightenment?

Freedom of Opinion, are you suggesting that if one believes that stanism is right for them that they should follow that belief because they believe it and if they believe it than it is right for them ? Please clarify. Sincerely, Mooskee.

Wow, so if you're a disgusting sinner because you're having premarridal sex, or living with someone while not officially married, then I must be screwed. Trust me what you have done isn't the worst sin, and forgiving yourself is always the hardest part. If it's redemption you seek, the first step is forgiving yourself.

Not sure what stanism is, is that when you worship some guy named stan?

But yes, I would say that if Satanism feels right in your heart then that is what you should follow.

Few satanist churches reflect the Christian view of satanism. As I understand it, most sects of satanism are largely atheistic.

Re: i need enlightenment?

Fifth , that is what l thought you meant about satanism, and of course if a person believes that murdering children is their new belief than that is good for then as long as they believe it and it is good for them to murder children because they believe that is right for them.. That is absurd as what you say ,and ,in fact you are saying just that. But this is a free society and your thoughts are allowed. You must be here to find our Lord , and you will if you look at the Truth of what you are saying and look at what you believe. Surely you cannot be right in saying that if l think murdering is right for me ,, then it is right. Absurd. I will pray for you. Sincerely, Mooskee.

Re: i need enlightenment?

Hi, Mooskee, welcome to CR, if I have not said so--

I am curious--by "murdering children", are you talking about some kind of religious ritual, or are you speaking of something else?

InPeace,
InLove

Re: i need enlightenment?

Both. In some absurd religions l have read that they " sacrifce " newborn babies for whatever reason . But in general anyone could develope a belief that incorporates murder and in their hearts believe that murder is a spritual aspect which would help them reach their goals, whatever they might me. So to say that just because you believe in a religion doesn't mean that [that ] religion is the right one. To find the right religion would take finding the Truth. The truth is not murdering . Hope that helps. Sincerely, Mooskee.

Re: i need enlightenment?

Inlove, I have read your reply again and l do need to clarify as you have asked a two fold question . When a child is innocent they can be " molded " by their immediate environment . If that environment was , say a satanic environment that child would follow that . The parents of that child believe that their "religion" is right and therefore right for their child.But the child's right to choose his own choice was " murdered " by the choices his parents choice in bringing him up . And if the parents beliefs were of the Truth the child rights would not have been murdered .
Sincerely, Mooskee.

Re: i need enlightenment?

Of course, Mookshee, I would like to ammend my previous statement to say that you should follow whatever religion feels right in your heart as long as you do not harm anyone else.

A little off topic, but I must ask you what makes you think that satanists murder children? Have you researched that religion?

There has been some good debate on the subject here
Luciferianism

Re: i need enlightenment?

If a murdered child as l explained in my second reply to your question , [last post] , was to find the Truth later on in life it can happen , and through the Lord it will happen as the child distances from it ,,, to find the Real Truth. Sincerely, Mooskee.
