I'm a Christian...

Were you aware? Does it change your opinion of me? Anything else you would like to mention or I need to be aware of?

I'm really curious as to what sort of responses I will receive. 🤔

We are living in the troubled time of corona virus lockdown. This page has gone quiet over the last few months. I don't know if anyone will see this post but, how do you as a Christian approach questions about the nature of evil in today's complex and analytical world, and how do you recognise when someone or something you've met or come across has put you in harms way? Do you need to have super human senses to do this and how do you place your trust in powers greater than yourself without going mad? I come across many people who call themselves christian from day to day but I would not put them all in the same category with regard to how they deal with or define evil.

@will999 To say this simply: nothing is super human about the power of God. It's all God, from start to finish. This is why we don't praise Moses or Elijah or Peter, etc. Only the power of God can do those things in which you mentioned needing super human abilities. 😊 Acts 19:15 shows us why. Those copycats got jumped! Lol. Simply because they didn't possess the power of God. Evil, is anything contradictory to God. It's easy to recognize once this is understood.. How evil doers are handled, though depends. Why? Because evil doers are people. They are you and me. They are family members, co-workers, friends and strangers. Ephesians 2:1-10 shows us that. Since this is true, we have to rely on the spirit of God to guide us. Otherwise, that woman in John 8 would have been stoned that day. 👀 To say that I live my life, trusting in Him, fully, would be a lie. I struggle. Moreso because I'm a slight control freak. 🤷🏾‍♀️ But I try everyday. Most importantly, I try to remember what Jesus commanded in John 15:17: to love each other.

@will999 And as far as the quietness of this post, it's not surprising. Unfortunately a lot of "Christians" have forgotten what it truly means to be Christ like and Christianity has been misrepresented immensely. Remember those WWJD bracelets? Maybe they should bring those back and give those to everyone claiming to be Christian. Lol. Maybe then it would remind them to act as how Jesus would have. 🤷🏾‍♀️😂

@NIC0LE I'm not perfect either (yet!). The Holy Spirit at work in our assembly and daily lives can easily remind us how Jesus would have reacted in any troubling situation that we find ourselves in. The word trinity is not in the bible but the idea is all the way through it.
