Are you afraid of Death?

Post #1

Death- the Ultimate Fate. A single point in time where your physical body dies.
Dead- An indefinite period of time spent not in your physical body.

Are you afraid of death? Maybe, at first thought, no. What if your views are wrong? What if you are going to Hell, or you are going nowhere?

How do you feel about death?

If you believe in Christianity, and you believe when you die, you will be welcomed by Jesus, could you be considered right no matter what? You either go to Jesus, or die thinking you will making the last moments of your life happier than someone that doesn't? (not counting other religions *sniffles*)

Or should you even be worried? Life is a gift, something to be cherished but all things come to an end?

A eunuch is someone who has no genetic sin of lust which is necessary for sexual desire. There are people who were born without this genetic sin so they have no sexual desire for anyone. I know a man like this so is does happen.


Another type of eunuch is the man-made kind when they castrate a man or remove the clitoris and glands in a woman but this isn't a true eunuch and they can still function in different ways to satisfy their sexual desire. The sin of lust affects the mind first than it transfers to the sexual organs so if their mind causes them to desire sex, they'll work out something to satisfy this desire.


The way I was made a eunuch was by God. Lust used to be my favorite sin but God had plans to change that. He couldn't use me as a preacher of the gospel until I was made sinless. For one thing, we preachers need the knowledge of God to preach with and if we had sins to deal with, then we couldn't face sinners and expose their sins, which is important in preaching the gospel.


No man can make his lust go away so God has to do that. This sin was given to man for reproduction like pride was for protection. These sins served a purpose but the overall reason was to create a delusion in the world for God's men of faith to operate with the truth. Sins cause people to be liars so it's easier for us faithful saints and prophets to hear the spoken truth whether it's directly in our minds or by hearing the gospel.


When a chosen one does hear the truth and God reveals himself to them, they are given faith. God worked out a plan for this person before creation. He made a plan for everything so when it's time for him to work on this new believer, everything is already accomplished but it has to be acted out.


God begins his work on this new faithful believer who has various sins to deal with including lust. If he's married and had children, he's certain to have lust. I had three sons with two different wives so there's no way I was eunuch at that time. God even used my lust to get me to move away from my family because they would distract me while he's working with me.


He knew of a perfect woman in Barcelona for me and then had me pray with the details of how she looked. Two months later I was hooked up with her and three months later I flew to Barcelona to meet her. My testosterone level went through the roof when I saw her. She was more than I ever imagined even though I saw her on the webcam every day for two months.


I knew instantly that I had to move to Barcelona and after being with her for ten days, I told her I was planning on moving there. We met one more time when she came to visit me in California and by then, I had already started planning my move in June of 2003.


God allowed me to be with her for four years before he started his work on getting rid of my sins of lust and pride. He already starting on my pride years earlier while he was removing all my other sins and having me confess and repent of them so he could forgive them, but pride is very difficult to remove because it's so ingrained in who we are. Pride is our protection over all our sins so God waits until he knows we can handle this repentance and be forgiven of these sins.


He used this Spanish woman he found for me to get me humbled. This humbling started soon after I moved in with her but then it wasn't a problem for me. I was just hungry for her all the time because of her beauty and great figure. She could say anything to me and I could deal with it but a couple years later, it got harder to put up with her demands. The pride in me resisted her while my lust desired her and that's right where God needed me to do his work.


Because of her demands that affected my pride, I began to look at other women and even looking at pornography once in a while. We have a small place with no privacy so I couldn't watch very much of it. The more demands she made, the more I resisted and the more I looked in other directions besides at her. Pride can make a beautiful woman look bad and that's what was going on.


In the spring of 2007, I was online looking at porno when God came screaming in my mind, "STOP LOOKING AT PORNOGRAPHY." I instantly stopped because God's commands are very powerful. I haven't looked at any pornography since that day and I never will again.


I also got into looking at other women on the street and many people walk in Barcelona so there's always women to look at. I knew my wife didn't like her ex looking at other women but here I was, looking at them with lust. God came to me this time and said, "STOP LOOKING AT THE WOMEN ON THE STREET." I was walking from home but I turned around instead, put my head down and walked home but I failed miserably. I was cheating all the way home because my habit of looking at women had gotten quite strong.


About a week later, God came to me again and said, "TELL YOUR WOMAN THAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT OTHER WOMEN ON THE STREET AND WATCHING PORNOGRAPHY ON THE INTERNET." This was a very difficult command because I knew she would be angry.


I invited her to a McDonald's restaurant in hopes she wouldn't get too excited when I told her. I told her about the pornography first and that wasn't too bad. But when I told her about lustfully looking at other women on the street, she stood up and told me it was all over between us. I followed her home and she refused to talk with me for quite a while after that. She was expecting me to go back to California but instead, I went down on the floor begging God for mercy.


This is when he knew I was repented of lust and pride so he forgave me which always made me cry deeply in pain because God changes the genetic codes responsible for the sins he's forgiving. This is when my sins of lust and pride were removed. Then he gave me understanding on how to reastablish our relationship again. It took about six months for her to trust me again and ever since then, it's been very good between her and I, even after I lost my desire for sex.


About ten months after my pride and lust were forgiven, he came to ask for my life and this is when he forgave me of whatever sin I had left, then began to take away the veil that separates a sinner from the truth of God. Two days later, I started getting knowledge I never knew before. This was my new self, which is the Word of God. I'm no longer the lustfilled and proud Brad that I used be. I only have the memories of him but there's no power in memories.


The new me will never sin again and has no desire to have sex with a beautiful woman, even though the old memories keep tempting me. Jesus and all the saints went through the same thing. We absorb the things we see, hear, smell, and touch over many years and this doesn't go away when we become like God. This is why our flesh has to die and get rid of these memories. None of us would want our memories from this age in paradise to ruin the perfect life God is going to give us.


The main reason God gives us an incredible desire to preach the gospel with is so we don't have to deal with our memories as much. It also keeps us from family and friends to distract us while we're doing God's work. My wife was perfectly selected by God from all the women of the world because she still loves me despite me being a eunuch. She keeps herself from desiring anyone else and she'll stay with me for the rest of my life because that's what God had me pray for eight years ago before I ever met her. He had me ask for a beautiful woman with dark brown hair, dark brown eyes with a great figure and one who will love me for the rest of my life. This is the woman he found for me and is still with me even though I'm a eunuch.

Uuuuhhhh... This is getting weird. How can you claim to be the ONLY sinless person on the world? I think there is a reason why no-one else has heard the gospel you preach or the Word of God you have heard. There is a reason why no

Skeptical about Saint

Post #85

Post by Stooti »

Well, this is turning into a bit of a random debate. A self prolclaimed Saint on a journey to spread the Gospel, claiming he is the ONLY sinless person on the face of the earth out of 6,865,000 people? I see you are very optimistic. You put yourself above EVERYONE in the world? Well, a few questions that seem harmless enough need to be answered.
1. Do you agree with the Bible? (Old and New Testament)
2. Is killing of any kind in any way a sin?
and
3. Have you managed so spread the Gospel to anyone and make them believe you are a saint? Excludes dead people, old people, people with mental health problems, babies, people you are personally related to, drunken people, people under the influence of drugs and people on death row.

Please tell.
