When I was 9, 1979 I watched the Excorcist I couldn't sleep for a week ar more. And I went to church, and a brother/elder. Said to sleep with your bible, and it helped. And I learned to fight fire with fire. As time went on, when a man of faith walks into a room, people go quite, for I guess they feel something A strong willed person, so I feel stronger with Gods Wisdom. I have had people who seen the bible with me ,and ask me to read a verse or 2 Or even pray with them. As of yet no ridicule. And in my bio I mention I fought demons And it's true. Substances Spirits, and enities, with proof ,,,,Human eyes and feelings. So the only way I beat them was with my beast. And now my life as been so much better, but I'm not perfect, because I am a poet, I write all types of poetry. XXX, hate, horror, violence, and a lot of spiritual stuff, and I am afraid to put all of it on here. Just for one reason, confusion. Since I posted here on Alexs question, I have already been tested by the -negative forces, so it is no joke. So I ask all to take it serious. And as for now this is all I have to say. Upslady yes is your answer -As of yet no ridicule Wordslinger, that is fascinating!!! And to NevillePark...my mother always told me that it IS in the bible that there are "restless spirits" roaming the earth...what do you make of that? And my husband just died 2 months ago...chillingly enough, he told me not long before to "not put away my black dress because I would be a widow soon." I have reason to believe he played a part in his own death by not taking his medications...however...still being his legal wife, I had to take care of arrangements. I had to have him cremated, and I have his ashes in my living room. The first week or two they were there, it really bugged me, and honestly, kind of freaked me out. HOWEVER...recently, there have been strange happenings in my house and I have to wonder if it's him doing it. The other morning I woke at 5:20 to what sounded like someone banging on my front door. When I got up and looked, no one was there. I have also heard what sounds like footsteps shuffling through my house, as well as things being moved, and I have also seen flashes of white from the corner of my eye, as well as SOMETHING that looks like it is moving, also from the corner of my eye. So that's kind of creeping me out. My sister believed in ghosts...so did my grandmother, and she was one of the holiest people I knew. She said certain people are born with a "veil" over their face and that means that they have certain "gifts". My sister and I have a gift...we hear "death bells" (our ears ring so badly to the point of being painful, and when that happens, it means someone we know will die soon). My grandmother had a gift of removing warts...and on and on. So how do you explain these anomalies? Because I would never attribute all of them to being something evil. And Wordslinger, I too have slept with a Bible under my pillow...my parents have witnessed demons in their bedroom, as well as angels who showed up to fight the demons. And my mother has told me, if there is a spirit present in your house, all you have to do is say, "What in the name of God do you want?" and it either has to tell you or leave. I would be too afraid to ask because I personally do want it to present itself. Comments on any of this, anyone? Dear upsylady; There is a huge chunk of humanity out there who could swear that their deductive reasoning, (with which they have a lifelong affinity with) is all they ever need to sift through the questions life affords. If the answers aren't forthcoming- then all that can be done is to wait for more information to surface, is their reasoning. In the grand scheme of things it would seem that few people see "ghosts" or demons or angels. Why we all don't see these things is a question which could be leveled at the believer. If it were true we would ALL see it? Supernatural activity is running at a fever pitch in that realm and more are bound to witness the activity as time grows shorter. To embrace the thought that a dearly departed has a word of encouragement for us, or is actively working in our corner from the great beyond is a comforting thing for a lot of folks. My dear from where I sit ... God's angels, and the influence of His Holy Spirit are the only forces authorized to fulfill that task. Like WordSlinger I've encountered demons. I've seen angels and I've been visited- one on one, by an angel in broad daylight. They bring a sword of Truth that will cut away the entanglement of deception from strange vines which endeavor to choke the Truth. There's no pretty or gentle way to put it. Sorry. P.S.- These things are usurpers- they have no authority to work evil if a stand is taken. Your Grandparents are right. If you command them (you're allowed to) and say something like ..."In the name of Jesus of Nazareth I bind you and command you to leave this place." Do that and you'll witness a miracle.

Thanks SK. It's good to get it out I believe. 'Not always comfortable to talk about but good. I'm working on a couple of screenplays ongoing but who knows I might put something together with mine and other experiences. Maybe I could consolidate with others who have had experiences and throw them into the pot. A book - a documentary, a film? Pardon me for a moment while I put on my shades |

Re: Epiphany: How can one wind up in Hell?There are only 10 Commandments in the Bible, so I guess that's the model you need to go by...HOWEVER, there is ONE sin that is unforgivable, and that is to blaspheme the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit, however you want to put it. But for several years now, I have been trying to figure out what blaspheme means. My mom said it means to "make fun of". Or does it mean using the GD word? Because if that's the case, I'm SO screwed...but a long time ago, I heard a televangelist say, if you are afraid you've already blasphemed, you haven't, because once you commit that particular sin, you no longer have a conscience, since you are already doomed anyway and there is no hope for you at all. Comments on this anyone? but personally I would say that the people who DESERVE to be in the literal burning, teeth gnashing, flesh eating worm version of hell are those who engage in things such as torture, rape, murder, ESPECIALLY when it involves children...That kind of thing just turns my stomach. As does any kind of abuse to anyone...animals, the elderly, just your everyday run of the mill average joe. The boss who makes your work life a "living hell" should also have to pay. Lots and lots of things go unpunished in this world, so maybe that's why people hope there really is a place such as that for all of the "horrible" people in our own lives, as well as the truly horrible people in the rest of the world to pay their penance. And I think another thing that will be present in hell will be these peoples' memories of every single thing they ever did, every single chance they had to accept salvation. Their thoughts will haunt them for all of eternity. Or at least I hope so. |

Re: Epiphany: How can one wind up in Hell?If i may make a few comments.I have read everyones answer on this subject of hell,and see that they are all your opinions.We all have opinions but what God says is what matters.For you to even talk about God,hell,and even the devil tells me you have either heard it from others or read a little Bible.Everything we know of God came from His word.Everything i believe as a christian comes from The Word of God.You either believe it all or none of it.You cant choose to believe some of it and not all of it, thats why you have so many arguements about what is real.Hell is real Jesus talked about it and said it is a place of torement.But you didnt read far enough.The final outcome for those in hell is the lake of fire completely different to hell.When you die you will either go to hell or heaven thats plain to see in Gods Word.The body left behind???Yes for we will receive a new body that is not corrupted.Nothing sinfull will ever enter into heaven.Hell and the lake of fire were created for the devil and his angels not for us.If you go there you choose to go there,About the blaspemy of the Holy Ghost??Simple,its rejecting Him, for without faith in Jesus Christ as your sacrifice for sin you will not be forgiven. Remember ALL manner of sin will be forgiven even cursing .Its funny how one wants to believe in the goodness of God but not the judgement of God. |

Re: Epiphany: How can one wind up in Hell?I have talk to someone a few years ago. He said he does not beleive in hell. I said to him well lets see. You beleive in H eaven. and you beleive obviously in the earth. by example. lets use electricity. We have the positive, the negtive, and, the ground. Heaven would be the positive. The earth is the ground. If there is no hell being the negtive where is the electricity. any questions contact me at dancing_eegle@yahoo.com Last edited by Eagleman 05-25-2009 at 10:17:23 AM |

Re: Epiphany: How can one wind up in Hell?NevillePark, I LOVE reading your posts on this subject! they are extremely interesting and thought provoking. I like the way you present things, unlike my mother and all the other preachers I've encountered over the years. No, you don't come off as "preachy" at all. My mom, on the other hand, once she gets started on the subject, it's very uncomfortable because she doesn't take too kindly to any kind of questioning on things like this. As far as she's concerned, what's in the Bible is the pure truth and no one should question it. But I am a thinking human being, an intelligent human being, so YES, there are things that I naturally question and wonder about. What I AM curious about, however, is the full attack by "manifestations" that you underwent? Care to elaborate? |

Re: Epiphany: How can one wind up in Hell?And Neville Park, do you believe in life on other planets? Do you think it would be conceited of mankind to think we are the ONLY intelligent life in the entire universe, or do you think, after creating humans, God had an "Oops" moment and decided that we were going to be enough of a handful for him to look after? |

One last comment about going to a light when you die.Too many movies...If i see it right the deacon Stephen in the book of acts when being stoned to death said he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father and gave up the ghost .As you will see i love the Word of God and all i have said comes from Gods Word and are not my opinions.If Gods Word is not true i have nothing to stand on .The life that i live i live by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.Believe it like it is God said so. WELL said brother or sister in Christ,you get an aman from me May God bless you and continue to shed his Grace upon you Last edited by denraybou 05-25-2009 at 08:50:48 PM |

Originally Posted by Alexgrey When we die, our bodies are left behind, correct? That means that our senses are no longer the tools we use for vision, awareness, and feeling. I'm not denying the very existence of Hell, but I do question the concept of it being some horrible, unforgiving physical place with curses, unbreakable laws, and unthinkable apathy. As we die, we are said to "go to the light." The only thing we can concentrate on while dying is going to the light, so how can we have a choice? It's the only thing we're even aware of at the moment, as far as I've read. So someone say something. How can macabre visions of being chained up in a fiery well-like furnace, in an abyss of darkness, which can't be, considering the glow from the aforementioned flames, being raped or such by demons or having the flesh rend from your body and instantly heal again... how can that be an accurate depiction of what true Hell is? We say our days have been hell, but in reality, it just didn't go our way. It was uncomfortable, miserable, unplanned, and just not fair. Regardless of books you read, I believe God has a different plan for those who defy his word and live for themselves. I don't believe the creator of all has enough empathy nor apathy for the concept of a live-action Hell. Dungeon of fiery, eternal despair and torment. I don't believe the concept to be as solid as it sounds, even if it's in another dimension or on the astral plane. About that comment, "I don't believe the creator of all has enough empathy nor apathy for the concept of a live-action Hell" was over the top. I meant that He knows that Hell as we know it is NOT productive, and there is no lesson to be learned from it. God is about judgment and redemption, I think, not torment and sadism. By the way, this face is the creepiest emoticon I've ever seen: |

Re: Epiphany: How can one wind up in Hell?Hell will exist. If there is an eternity in a form of beloved and in a form of blotting away, Hell will exist. I believe that many people you think wouldnt go to hell are actually going, some by there own way, some unwillingly are going to hell, pulled by there ears. I believe there is a time of torment where good and evil coincide and where foolery is breathed throughout the air in heaping gulfs. If the earth is a gateway of lifeform and a coexistance of heaven and hell. Then believe they are intertwined and seperated in realms beyond knowledge. There is assumingly nine rings of hell and it is assumed that everyone at one encouragable span of time reaches the very depths of the all consuming. It is said that Lucifer is as the most high God, supreme and full of glory that no man can ascertain, even to the degree that he will fool all of humanity into believing that he is the messiah. |

Re: Epiphany: How can one wind up in Hell?I do believe in God- I do believe in 10 laws. The more I read, the more convinced I am that ... If you believe- try to follow 10 laws ( I say try because as humans, we all F up ) |
