How Do You Stay Rooted In The Word of God? [I Am a Christian and Love God]

[c=#7700B2][b]Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:4‭-‬8[/b][/c]

The same way a tree stays rooted in soil... stay planted in it, extend your mind deeper into it, never stop reading it, and always think about it..

I am not religious. It is just one of 4,000+ religions in the world, none of which are provable. There are dozens of different bibles versions in the English language so even that shows it is not writ by a god but by man. New religions pop up routinely.

I studied religions my whole life and I am now old. Religion is not needed. Being a loving person is just a nice way to live life.

@Lynda70 I'll never quit spending the news on how good God has been to me. I'm paralyzed right now because science failed to fix me, the same science you say has facts but you'll will witness when God heals me from something medical science said was incurable. I just can't wait😁.

Others can say the same about their gods. For example, Santa Claus is a myth to those who've never, had an encounter with him. You'll just know he lives when you experience his presence trust me. You'll be wondering why you ever thought he was a myth."

[quote]I'm sorry if the truth offends you but I can't change the fact that you're unaware of the forces that drive people.[/quote]
Again, I can say exactly the same to you with exactly the same validity.

[quote]You're deluding yourself[/quote]
Oh no my dear that'll be you😁.

BTW, do you see how this works yet?

[quote]If anyone ended up in a messed up situation then know that the source of their help wasn't God to begin with.[/quote]
As God doesn't rweally exist, it's in no position to help anyone.

[quote] I'm living proof of the goodness of God.[/quote]
Now you really have lost the plot. :(

What's it waiting for then? I'll believe it when I see it. Try praying to [b]Eir[/b], you might have more success.

In what way? In any case, how can you be sure which god it was, there are thousands of them.

[quote]I'm paralyzed right now because science failed to fix me,[/quote]
Seems like your god hasn't either.

[quote]the same science you say has facts [/quote]
Not quite. Science is based on facts.

[quote]you'll will witness when God heals me [/quote]
When is that scheduled for? I didn't know God had a waiting list.

@Carazaa perfect example of a Christians persecution complex.

"it's good that we are persecuted. it means were doing the right thing. nevermind all the times Christianity were the persecutors.

@bugeye Biden just recognized the genocide of 5 million Christians Armenians by Turkish Muslims for the last 500 years.
Believe it and practice it.
@Lichocolati
perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly or regularly in order to improve or maintain one's proficiency.

I practice how we are instructed by Jesus in NT to live.

A wise man once said “practice makes perfect”.
@Lichocolati This has to be in your heart first,
Lichocolati · 31-35, F
@Watching Amen to that

@Lichocolati I think pictures are more your speed.
Lichocolati · 31-35, F
@SnailTeeth What's your point?
SnailTeeth · 36-40
@Lichocolati You might need to review your post. You posed the question, "How do you stay rooted...".

I'm simply replying, that it's completely natural to not feel rooted in that word, since the word is illogical. The word of God is rooted in irrational self-delusion. You're looking for reason in the unreasonable. Perhaps there are rational reasons for tricking oneself to believe in God (Eg. Substance abuse issues, self-sabotaging compulsions), but healthy people don't need to follow those beliefs, and it's probably better to not have that level of cognitive dissonance, if you're otherwise sane.

You've been stand-offish towards my responses this entire time, and I don't expect you to change your mind. I just think it's funny when someone tells other people to be good to each other, and they somehow feel that subscribing to foolish ideologies exempts them from practicing what they preach. You write about meditating on truth, and other praiseworthy aspects of life. But you are vehement to accept any truth which does not fall into your confirmation bias, because that would require a lot more work in your personal life, than simply telling me to get lost.

By being around other good Christians
Try every day to be a good and many days I an not person there are ten simple rules
It's not complicated
Knowing that by believing I will see all those like my special mom I will see then again
Lichocolati · 31-35, F
It's tough when the Christians in your circle are still learning to trust God cause some things they say are not in line with God's word @Thereyouare
