Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

Wow, I would love to read through this entire thread but it's soo long haha. Anyway, I am a believer, yes. He's not my number one belief but yes, through my ups adn serious downs he has seemingly been there.

Sometimes at the end of the day I don't know what to believe... Yet christianity is so simple. I refer to God-Elohim as Yahweh and Jesus as Yah'shua :)
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

^^^on this site, somewhere is an video interview that a woman did with Michael Jackson, in 2004, during his trial, from inside an AME Christian Church. i have been looking for it, but i currently can't find it. but hopefully i will. you might find it, before i do. it is definitely on here. in that interview, the woman asks why MJ is in the church. and his answer was 'to worship, and to see the children'. later, the woman interviewed the pastor of that church, and the pastor said, that he and his colleagues were looking out to see that MJ would be treated fairly, during the trial.

edit: here is the video:

o0o0o0o thank you for that! I remember praying and KNOWING he was innocent and to be found innocent during that crazy trial, when other fans were packing up their things and getting ready to have a bonfire if he was found guilty :(

How is everyone?
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

i'm great how about you?
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

Oh no I'm not Cherry (I'm Cassandra), I found these fan letters online from Christian fans of Michael and I relate to him. I know MJ was raised as a JW but left their cult in the 80's. I strongly believed he was saved. I loved his quotes on Jesus/God :) I think after the 2005 trials, his faith grew stronger. It could have been a faith test from God himself.

Thanks! I loved what he said and he's right! I should appreciate God's creation more. That pic looks pretty!


I'm sorry but I'm not Jehovah's Witness but I do a bible study with them & have been to a meeting. I have learnt a lot & they are beautiful people. I still attend my normal pentecostal church & the girls I do study with don't care & are curious about it. They are not a CULT & neither was the JW's that the Jacksons belong to. Michael would be hurt by calling it a cult along with his family.There are JWs in the US & probably rest of the world that do take it to far & yes they turn into a cult but the Jackson's family's didn't belong to one of these.

I wonder where Michelle is!!!
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

I am going to see my doctor tomorrow and get his opinion on what I should do/who I should see, etc. I need answers and help. I hope I get them.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

I'm great Earth Song. Pick up keys for new home tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait. How are you hun?
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

Nice to hear, Jaye.

My mother also saw doctor and since that she has seen some good professionals. I was talking with my father yesterday and we thought that we can see the change that happened while counseling. :) She still is depressed but not as badly as she used to be.

I'm feeling very good now. And I'm leaving to Bible village on Wednesday and I'll stay there for 2½ weeks. I'll miss my girlfriend. :(

I'm here Earthy. Sorry I haven't been coming on forums as much. I thought I just posted here recently but maybe not. I hope you're doing alright.

Chrissy, I'm glad to hear of your good news.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

I failed two of my classes. :(
I'm retaking one online this summer, so that should help.
I feel like I'm such a disappointment, but it was all this stuff that happened this semester as well.
I'm putting all the blame on him for messing me up, but some people are like, "You did it to yourself, too," because I got into it (but I didn't know what I was getting into) and I wasn't listening to people (but he had manipulated and controlled me so that I didn't believe them) and I let it affect me (well, when you're being emotionally abused, you get pretty deep down in the hole and I can't describe it. It's a horrible feeling).
I had dinner yesterday with a Christian friend who also knows him and is in our swing dance club. He was trying to put it into a Christian perspective for me. He loves him like he's his brother. He was saying something around the lines of, "He's a fellow Christian as well, and I hate to see a brother in Christ as down as he is. Yes, he's done so much wrong to all these people and is trying to hide all his problems with work, money, and women, but I still love him. You have too much anger built up and it's so negative. I wouldn't consider not ever associating with him again. Remember, he had just gotten out of a relationship where he was expecting to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her." Then he went on to say that you can't blame him for feeling the way he does, and he's well aware that he has a lot of problems but doesn't realize that he needs to get help, and that he's lost as a Christian, but probably doesn't realize it yet. He just needs a lot of prayer.
I'm still angry at him for all that he did to me, and it's going to take me a while to forgive him. I can't just yet.

I need this summer badly. I need to relax and re-focus, re-prioritize. I KNOW I screwed up this semester and it won't happen again. I am going to make a list of things to do besides get a job. I need some time to focus on me. And this is perfect timing.


I'm sorry about all that's happening to you. I will pray that you get to relax over the summer and that God will fill you with His joy and peace.

Thank you, Michelle! :hug:

I went to the doctor today and I am now being treated for depression. I've heard that this medication works amazingly. :)

I'll pray the medicine will work for you.

Glad you popped in here, Chelle.

What's the name of the medication?

I was pretty much a test guinea pig for anti-depressants. Tried about 6 & none worked. Funnily enough all I needed was God went to a 18-30yo meeting & the speaker spoke about forgiveness & forgetting. I woke the next morning & every burden had been lifted & haven't had depression since :)
Medication is only temporary & doesn't always help. Sometimes can make you worse & very sick. Just be careful
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

Thanks you guys im so excited. The house we are living in is great but its being pulled down so we had to get. Last Monday I inspected a unit a street away & it was perfect. I was the only one to look through it. I got application forms & rang mum.
Tuesday handed in Applications & then wednesday got the call we have been approved. So yes its a massive move 1min drive or 5min walk lol. Its new & never lived in anything new before. Im so happy I could bust just hate changing addresses on everything grrrrrrr.


MJJ_luv1991: Thinking of you & wishing you all the best. I failed all my classes & kept retrying year after year. But 3yrs ago God answered me that studying is not for you & I became a nanny. I still would like to study theology but God told me I'm not ready yet.
God has big plans for you precious don't give up. Keep striving xx
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

Yeah I know I lexapro. tried it didn't work me for me. One of my ex's was it & was working for him.
Lexapro is very strong be very careful
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

I will. I'm only on 10 mg, though. :)

Prayers that it works!

Edit: I just looked at my grades and I only failed ONE class!!! Not two!!!! Happy day!

Hey! Great! :)

I think my mother has that lexapro and it works out. She had some little amount in the beginning but sometime ago doctor raised the amount a bit. It works pretty well. Or at least I think so and I think my mother does too.

By the way, I just got asked to one role for next halloween. It is one horror play where I am supposed to act the uncle of main character. This main characted killed his own father in first version of the play (last year) and this is 15 years from that. Wow... horror. I think I'll do the role anyway. The play is named Ten Commandments and I talk about those Ten Commandments that you know. Then this main character freaks out again and kills me. That's my part. I don't know what else happens there.

I also got asked to go on one camp as confirmation leader. That's not the right word but it's kinda difficult to translate it from Finnish but anyway, sort of a boy camp like I had on February. I'm going there! :)
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

If the medication doesnt work you should look into natural medicine. I would look into the raw vegan diet as it helps with pretty much any condition. Raw Food is God's medicine :)

Please don't feel bad about any of that. Remember what Michael said - a teacher may degrade you, but you will not feel degraded. All will be well; school can wait, you gotta take care of your self and put your priorities in order, as you said yourself.

I can only join everybody else in wishing you well with your medicines. Never forget to lean on the Lord, He is our ever present help in times of trouble.

I'm great Earth Song. Pick up keys for new home tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait. How are you hun?

Wonderful to hear about that.:clapping:

I was on anxiety meds for awhile. I got off them though. I learned that I have to take my mind to another place. I don't panick like I used to.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here? (Non-debate thread for believers only)

Great to hear you are doing better :) God bless you.


Today is a very important celebration - the Lord's Ascension. It's been 40 days since Easter. After He finished His work here on earth in His human form, our Lord returned to His kingdom and now sits at the right of the Father.

Here is a beautiful painting by an amazing artist, Brian Jekel. I've had this image in one of the Life of Christ calendars a few years back. I really love his work, he truly is brilliant, God bless him.

In another 10 days we will be celebrating the sending of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) and the birth of the Church.

Also, for those of us who are Catholic, today also marks several important milestones related to Fatima.

Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us, sinners.

Lord have Mercy on all of us. THY most perfect, most wonderful will be done. Amen
