Each of us has chosen to follow God in our own way.
Do you believe that God knows all things? Is there anything that happens on this earth that God is not involved in? |

yes AB YHWH knows all things.YHWH does not get involved in most
things. He allows us to make our own mistakes. He wants us to call on him. In 1993 during the flood of 93 i had worked 31 16 hour days straight and then went to 6-12 hour days. I was a tech for a major Electrical company. I was working between 3 medium size transformers and 3 voltage regulators. With about 6 feet between them. I had worked on this voltage regulator for 3 hours and could not get it fixed. It was live at 14,400 volts. I was not working that voltage but was working the controls and in it was the wire and a plug for the current transformers on the regulators. To let us know the current on the line. After frustration I called in and told the dispatcher i would have to come back the next day. He said ok put it back the way you found it. I went to start to put it back and i forgot to pull a plug to release the current transformer from the unit. Instead i reached in and took ahold of a red plug clearly marked "danger possible death". I pulled that plug apat. when i did all i could hear was crackling I could not see. I could not yell. I tried to jump up and fall away from it and i could not. I did see flashes of childhood and family in my mind. I thought this is it. It was throughing me back and forth like a ragg doll( i wiegh over 200lbs). All i could do was think in my head Yahshua HELP me. Immediatedly I was let go. I spent the night in the burn unit at a major hospital. They tested everything they could. I showed no outside burning but they were afraid i had inside burning from having the plug in each hand and i was completing the circuit with my body. The next day i was released the doctor said he could not explain it. He told me I should be dead. Yet i had no injuries. I went back to work and found out a safty team had already went to the sight. They could not explain why a insulator would burn in half and not me. My super. called me into his office and asked if i wanted to take a less dangerous job. Isaid no i love my tech job. He said i was not taking this seriously enough. I told him i knew the seriousness of it. He then told me i was the 1st in the companies 100 year old history to survive this type of accident and then i was not hurt he just said you are the luckiest person i know. I left and I knew that Yahshua was just waiting for me to call for him. I did finally but only in my head. I know he saved me. I also know he saved me because i had made a stupid mistake on accident. I did not tempt YHWH. YHWH does not always intervine for people who call for him. I know he does as he wills. And i was not let go untill I called for Yahshua (YHWH Saves). I praise him for it and I know he is real. Never stop calling on Yahshua for help. Blessings.... Miles |

So then Miles would you say that is pleased with the path you have
choosen? Or do you think He choose it for you? |
|

I believe YHWH knew the path I was going to take. I will tell u why if
you want to know but many will claim it as a lie. Blessings and shalom.. Miles |

Aye many would.
Having been called a lie and worse in this place I know what you are saying. Share it if you wish. Each of us that accepts a path are following the Perfect Path. Every thing that happens in this world God causes for a reason. It is not for me to know this reason only to have faith in His wisdom. |

do you guys really think that talking about god that this is the right
place for it? i mean everyone is gonn have different opinions about him because none of us are the same. and some peoples thoughts might offend someone. im just curious |

So none of you look at things from the chain initiating event?
That would be where the first domino is pushed knowing that many would fall as a result, but exactly where each would fall and how many would fall would maybe not be worried with or considered. And that then the chain terminating event might or could be known where everyone was accepted back into the fold or eternal heaven? To the point, if each of us has chosen to follow God in our own way then did we make the choice at all? Or did God in knowing, actually make the choice for us? Furthermore if we made the choice could God have known which choice we would make without by His knowing making the choice for us in which case we did not make the choice at all. This topic always leads to such a circle logic. Knows all things? Is this an existential manner of knowledge or a predestination sort of knowledge? Would the answer to this also contribute to the truth of God making our choices for us through His knowledge of all things throughout eternity? Is there anybody here who knows the nature of all things so that they could authoritatively make the comment that God is involved in all things or not? I'm not arguing the initial comment in the topic nor seeking to answer the questions posed. I am pointing out how difficult it is to know such things and that these matters are taken as articles of faith. |

I will and let each decide whether it seems scriptual or not. ! thing
about this site is know one really knows who you are. I do not wish to say who i am even though i know anyone who knows of the accident i had would know. This is what i believe is the 1st memory i can recall in my life. I was around 4 years old. We lived on a farm in a old farm house with a screened in front porch that i played on all the time. it was right off the living room where my family watched tv. this would of been i believe the spring of 1964. Our driveway when comming to the house a vehicle would round a curve on a small hill and shine its lights in the living room at night and we always knew when someone was here.It had been storming and had stopped raining as i was on the front porch. The clouds were think and it was very dark. My guess it was after 9pm. All of a sudden I saw the clouds light up. Then i saw fire and the clouds rolled apart on fire. Then the light was so bright i had to cover my eyes with my arm. I could see what looked like the outline of a man in the bright light but i really could not look at it. I heard my mom and dad yelling. Then i heard in my head "peace my son". My mom and dad came out and it just disappeared. They asked me what just happened that the whole house had lit up blinding everyone in the house. I said it was JC. That was what i knew him as. From that point on i did not want my mom to read me any child books. She sat me on her lap every night and read me the bible. We went to a christian church all the time and cleaned it as a family on thursday evenings. At 6 we had a family baptism.(which i do not agree with at all) At age 8 in sunday school we were being taught the 10 commandments. When they said the Sabbath was the 7th day of the week. I looked at the calander and saw that the 7th day was on saturday. So i raised my hand and asked why the callender on the wall shows the sabbath on saturday. He said it was changed to celebrate JC rising to heaven. I asked when did JC do the sabbath and he said on saturday. I said that is not right then. The sundqay school teacher told me i would understand as i got older. Going home i told my parents i could not go to that church anymore. They asked why and i told them. They said you have to go but if it is that important u will have to sit in the car i said ok. I sat in the car and never entered that church again untill i was 19 when i set an appointment with the minister to talk about the sabbath. I sat in the car winter and summer untill i turned 12. The i was allowed to stay home. I studied the bible all the time since. Well that is where i believe YHWH nudged me and showed me he was real. I have had many things happen that are unexplainable. I do not know for sure what his plan is for me. All i know i have to stay the course. Take Care and May YHWH's Shalom Fill Your House... Miles |

this is the religion chat forum is it not?
I have gotton quite used to people being offended by me. It is not my intention to offend but neither will I be silent. To be silent would be to deny God. |

I think that our path is laid out for us, God will show it to us but
will not lead, we have to go it ourselves. |

I believe in one souce ... one thing ... I call that God. I beilieve in
nothing separate so from my vantage point God doesn't know all things, God IS all things. I also believe that we are individualized to be the experiencing arms of God. If you are everything then there is nothing separate and nothing to experience. No emotion, no environment, no senses... when there is only one thing there is nothing it is not. We have the notion of separate so that we can feel, and experience and sense ... so we can bump up against the world and each other so that God may know itself through experience - through us. That to me is following my path ... my role is to experience, to grow, to share, to feel for the greater good of that once source to know itself. God's gift to me is this life individualized as Sherrie for a time ... able to express, feel and share. My gift to God is a life well lived, appreciated and shared. It is what resonates and sits well with me today. |

I wish I had your way with words.
How come that you can express what I feel and I can not? |

Beautifull and profound AG.
Thank you for sharing. |

Andrea - your words are always perfect!
AB - thank you for the questions that allow my mind to play in those nebulous gray areas I love so much |

Hosea,
Your post seems very simple and straighforward, and yet I feel I must have misunderstood it. Of course we should talk about God, and of course we should express our thoughts even at risk of offending people. (Now, being needlessly disrespectful in -how- we say it - that is another matter.) |
