Interesting thing,..........Faith.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". It is also referred to as ''a gift from God".

We don't have faith in a car that breaks down, to take it out of state. But, If it is solid and reliable, then our faith is more substantive.

The Patriarchs of old would often erect a pillar of stone, when and where God met them at a critical time................They went thru dry times, and probably doubt, But, they could look back to the pillars of stone, and say....... Man - God met me there, He did this then.

For me, My wife turns and says, "we need 50 Dollars, next day, acheck for $51..........heheheheh...ahhhhhhhhh. we were young and broke. This happened three times. I'll never forget.

The times he told me (not audible, you just know), to Liston to the next song..........(wasn't even playing yet)..........Sitting in my car, again, early 20's,......... married!,......... Kids!,......... wondering, What in the F**k to do.
Please excuse me, but that was a particularly tough time for us.
I still remember this song. One by the remnants of Lynard Skynard, first album after the plane crash, the message clearly ~ (capsule) "that - That you know to do, just do it - everything will work out Ok"........... I reflect on this almost daily, because I still need the peace it brings. I'll be 48 in Dec. I'll NEVER forget it. It's one of my pillars of stone. Do I have faith in God?......Damn right. Because He's faithful.

We must ask. "If we ask, we receive" and another "We have not, because we ask not".

What floors me in the Christian community, Is the claim (by some) that ~ Spiritual Gifts ~ are not for today. They don't see them , SO.....They claim that they don't happen today. They change their doctrine due to their own neglected prayers.....It's so freakin simple......... I look up some times and ask for a spirit of prophecy. Some times with tears. Not trying to be emotional here..........The point is: If we don't Ask. Can we bitch?.......and really be intellectually honest about it.

And Peach is right, Its a sermon......

Hey Peach, I hope you didn't misunderstand. I wasn't ranting about your preaching comment. I was just venting myself abit. Thanks,.By the way........your validation is very appreciated.

cool braddog. im glad to see some one else that tokes and believes in god and jesus!. I grew going to a catholic private school till 5th grade. Untell i got kicked out of course because of my crappy grades.

I was also raised christian, not by my parents but my nieghbors, Through all my life ive had nobody. Parents divorced when i was in kindergarden. I got beat by my brother in law through my entire middle schoo because he was on all kinds of drugs and hated me for no reasonl. My dad was never home much. When ever i visited my mother, she was always drunk and getting her ass beat by her bf.

i wont keep going on but my point is one day i realised. I was sitting there depressed and in the dumps and then i realised... the Only person thats been there for me is God and jesus this whole time. From the day i was born, i was taught who god was and who jesus was.

The whole time i hated the world and was so angry. I realised some one has been standing there with there hands on my shoulder for this whole time.

I may not be a perfect person or a perfect christian. I smoke weed, I have a daughter at the age of 22 and im not married yet. I have tons of sins. But even though ill always remember who was there for me. And i will NEVER question my own faith or let any one EVER influence my faith. I know jesus is there. And i know when the time comes that every one else will realise.

I was highly emotional during your post. And, then I thought that you had a 22 year-old daughter, I was like, "RIGHT ON!!!" :stoned:

You display faith that a non-believer would need to look up Freud in order to understand. Neil Peart wrote:

Things crawl in the darkness
That imagination spins
Needles at your nerve ends
Crawl like spiders on your skin

Pounding in your temples
And a surge of adrenaline
Every muscle tense - to fence the enemy within

I'm not giving in to security under pressure
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure
I'm not giving up on impluasible dreams
Experience to extremes -
Experience to extremes

Suspicious-looking stranger
Flashes you a dangerous grin
Shadows across your window -
Was it only trees in the wind?

Every breath a static charge -
A tongue that tastes like tin
Steely-eyes outside to hide the enemy within...

To you - is it movement or is it action?
Is it contact or just reaction?
And you - revolution or just resistance?
Is it living, or just existence?
Yeah, you - it takes a little more persistance
To get up and go the distance...

Rush - The Enemy Within (Part I of Fear) Lyrics

Oh, God.......Your honesty,........ PEACH, This is much of what it means to "walk in the light as he is in the light", (1st John, Ch1). If we are honest about where we are, where we've been, what we are..... buddy, that verse in John continues "We will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His son, continually cleanses us from all sin".

Some times we'll do better, some times - not, But, If we receive His Grace and mercy, we will continue to be changed.

We will have received much forgiveness, we will then contain it to give away.
See His heart. He says ~ look, I Love you Its cool, I desperately want you to receive my forgiveness, so that others that don't know it..........can have some,........ from you, and from me.......and also, by the way..........so your children won't suffer by your hand, as you did from .......your folks.

Its' late, Got to go..........You are an awesome man, look ~ don't sweat anything. Your young, with young, In the prophets........God says, re: these with young (he considers vulnerable), Don't screw with them, for their defender is strong. (Brad, Translation (revised)).

Sounds like more than an asswoop'n to me.

Thanks man. What do you mean by freud?

It's a conditioned learning process from when you were very little. Sigmund Freud (who thought that all Our problems were of an unconscious sexual nature) developed a "structural theory". The superego being what you learned when you were very little.

And it stuck to you. That's why those song lyrics came to mind.

Here's some Freud:
