Great thread.....I have been a Christian for 22yrs. Born again 24th Nov 1985... at home 10 at night sitting on my bed praying using a tract a work friend gave me.
I've had to do alot of sorting out of wrong beliefs and mans religious dead ideas.
I have been searching alot about Faith and the Authourity we have as believers. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly! That's Gods' Word and He is not a man that He should lie...
I'm beginning to understand the Spiritual law of Faith and the power of speaking the Word of God out loud in a way I've never understood it before, and applying it to my life.
On the subject of pain and suffering...I don't think I would of searched to the depth that I have if my circumstances were easy. It has been and still is a very hard road.
I'm unable to work so I have plenty of time to read, think & rethink what Salvation really means...I've lost alot because of the Ptsd but also gained much more...
