Christianity Etc › Re: Should A Spirit Filled Believer Succumb To Depression And Suicide? by budaatum: 8:12pm On Jun 14, 2021
Kobojunkie:
So, you fight illness but when you succumb to it, you claim it is death. undecided
I doubt I'd claim anything when I'm dead. But I shall let you know if I can.

Kobojunkie:
Depression is an illness of the mind, and if one succumbs to it, is it a different kind of Death than Death? undecided
An illness of the mind is not death. And while I have life I have the choice to not succumb and go to the doctor instead, which I doubt I could do once I die.

Kobojunkie:
Why fight against illness if it is all Death in the end? undecided
You fight illness because you know God wants you to live and fulfil a mission, and not out of fear of death.

I have compiled the following in the hope it helps you understand.

The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
Proverbs 29:25

For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling,
2 Corinthians 5:1-2

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”
John 8:51

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:22

For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
Romans 14:8

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Romans 6:5


To those who may see only contradictions, learn to square circles.

when you say you are a christain they see you as an easy person to torment, ....
Above is the same question posed in this thread. Suicide is due to torment.

And the response below is a Biblical version of my post above, for those who read only one book.

budaatum:
If you are tormented you have not imbibed enough Jesus Christ! For those who have imbibed will sit even in the presence of enemies and enjoy a good meal because "thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me".

Therefore, and in order not to be tormented, put on the full armor of God, buckle the belt of truth around your waist with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God and stand your ground after you have done everything to stand. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests so that whenever you speak, words may be given you so that you will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel which you yourself must first have asked and knocked and sought with all your heart and soul and mind and being so that you yourself may know it and not just believe and tremble like demons do.

Whoever does these things will never be shaken!

OkCornel:
I get you though, life throws things across our way that can make us sad and grieve which makes us human anyways. But to remain in that state of mind for an extended period of time is where the issue is.
If a person remains in a discomforted state that person is doing something wrong due to a lack of or a wrong understanding.

I will quote from outside Christianity and tag Christ at the end but ask you to understand through the lens of Christianity.

I will give you a task at the end (if you are up for it), to assist you to understand.


The Four Noble Truths

The First Noble Truth
The first noble truth is called Dukkha, which means suffering. It says that life is full of suffering. To say it a different way, in life, there is sickness, poverty (being poor), old age, and death. People can not keep what they want. People can not avoid what they do not want. If that is all a person learns, they suffer.

The Second Noble Truth
The second noble truth is Samudaya, which says that there is a reason for the suffering in the world. It says that the reason there is suffering is that people want things. It also says that the reason there is suffering is that people want what they think is real. They do this because they are ignorant. People do wrong actions because they want things and because they do not see what is real. Those evil actions lead to suffering.

The Third Noble Truth
The third noble truth is Nirodha. It says that people can be free from suffering when they no longer want [the wrong] things.

The Fourth Noble Truth
The fourth noble truth is called Magga. It says that for a person to stop wanting [the wrong] things, they must follow a set of rules. The rules are called the Noble Eightfold Path.


Thus ends part one.

The Noble Eightfold Path

The Eightfold Path says that truth is found in the Middle Way. A person can get to the Middle Way by following the eightfold path. The eight parts are these:

Right Vision. A person should try to see things the way they really are.

Right Values. A person should try to turn their mind away from the world and towards the Dharma.

Right Speech. A person should try to be truthful and kind when they talk.

Right Actions. A person should try to do good things. If they cannot do a good thing, then they should try to not do a bad thing.

Right Livelihood. A person should not work at something that can hurt themselves or other people.

Right Effort. A person should try to increase their goodness and get rid of their evil.

Right Mindfulness. A person must remember the Dharma and use it all the time

Right Meditation. A person must try to reach enlightenment through meditation.


Thus ends part two.

Below are two Readings from the Bible, one from Psalm 15 and the other from John 14:6. They are not in any particular order.

And now for the task

1. Ask and knock and seek understanding with all your heart and soul and mind and being.

2. Syncretise!

God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and the sweat of thy brow will guide you.

Duration for the task is lifetime.

Kobojunkie:
Interesting claim you make!

An interesting story is that of Elisha who is said to have succumbed to illness. Elisha had God's own Spirit on Him yet He succumbed to illness in the end. Is Depression, an illness, out of the question? undecided
You will equally argue that those who died succumbed to death but you will have to find someone else to argue with because we both know we would be wasting each others time.

As far as you are concerned, I said my bit. Take it junkie, or leave it, the pleasure must be your's.

Don't forget how him and Jill embarrassed themselves with queen Elizabeth.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/06/14/ten-awkward-moments-bloopers-joe-biden-world-stage/
You will argue that you don't believe qnon but here you are quoting qnon that is telling you our illustrious Queen Elizabeth II is embarrassed because Joe wore aviators and Jill was walking around with her belt unbuckled and flapping around and without wearing hose or leg coverings and had a band aid on her shin and because Joe told reporters the Queen reminded him of his mother.

How I so wish it were Sunday morning so I could educate you that our Queen is not as petty as the media has brainwashed you to believe!

If we look in the bible for example of people who followed God and may have dealt with depression/despair, we find people like Moses, Jeremiah and even David.
"Dealt with!"

They were not overcome nor did they succumb.

Thanks bro

I want to teach people the skill. Can I get 3000 people to teach ?
How would 3000 people be interested in a skill you've told no one anything about?

Don't you think you should inform people of your skill first so they can decide if they are at all interested in you teaching your skill to them?
Business › Re: I Have A Skill To Sell by budaatum: 4:59pm On Jun 14, 2021
bolafez:
I have a skill to sell
How can I get 3000 People to sell to?
You advertise I guess. Though, being a skill you mean, hire you, right? As in, employ you for your skill? Though I kind of sort of wonder why you'd need 3000 bosses, unless your skill is a sort of service.

That said. Your skill is definitely nothing to do with advertising or selling, so perhaps find a way to add those to compliment the skill you already have especially since you want to sell to people.

I offer it as a free suggestion.

A good one. One without an inflated ego and who has not done any bad that we will stone him or her for doing. One who has not given us a congo of rice or a litre of kerosene. One who has not got the money to publicise themselves so we could know them and vote for them, yet.

But the day shall surely come when we will vote for such a politician. Our eyes just need to open first.

Do please check all your pockets, because I don't trust that Jesus to not have filled them all with [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+4%3A10&version=KJV]tokes[/url] enough for you to share with everyone already. Like a child he so loves playing pranks like that.

Syncretism isn’t outrightly bad, it depends on what is being mixed. Do the components complement each other perfectly or are they mutually exclusive?
Is it not up to me to decide whether "components complement each other perfectly or are mutually exclusive", and to determine how I mix them so long as my soul is edified and my God is glorified ?

OkCornel:
To what purpose is there mixing poison with edible food?
Why and how have you determined one is "poison and the other is edible food"?

Would I not profit from an understanding of both?

OkCornel:
What is the logic or connection between the day Jesus rose from the dead, and the fertility goddess Ishtar?
"The connection between the day Jesus rose from the dead, and the fertility goddess Ishtar", is to be made with one's own understanding.

For a clue, as a seed must die in order to sprout up a new fertile plant, so must one die, it is written, in order to be born again.

The actual day is irrelevant. One can choose any day one wants to die and be reborn by the authority conferred on one.

Reacting to the faceless group’s threats, a Niger Delta militant group, ‘Movement for the Emancipation and the Defence of the Niger Delta’, (MEND), vowed to launch a disastrous reprisal on the faceless Fulani Jihadist group, should it carry out its threats to invade and bomb Asaba and Agbor if Governor Ifeanyi Okowa fails to drop his stand and support for the ban on open grazing in Southern states.
So, MEND plan to go and kill any Fulani they see for the crimes of a few Fulanis?

I can just hope other people went to better schools!

Career › Re: Petrol Station Manager Dies In An Underground Tank In Delta State by budaatum: 3:15pm On Jun 14, 2021
From The Information Gathered By , Mr. Dennis Ikroje reportedly went to work very early on the morning of June 9 at Sobaz Petrol Station situated along Ughelli/ Patani Road and allegedly went to the under­ground tank with 20 gallons and a hose for yet unknown reasons.

He said: "I suspect that the man was killed and his body dumped inside the manhole.

"Till now, the management of the petrol station has not deemed it fit to inform the family of the deceased about what happened."
What a funny story.

He was found in the "under­ground tank with 20 gallons and a hose". The family suspect he "was killed and his body dumped inside the manhole". But the management, which he was, and who is now dead "has not deemed it fit to inform the family about what happened".

The Bible is an Encyclopedia of wisdom that takes care of past, present and future.

1Cor.9.13 - Don't you know that those who work in the Temple get their meals from the food brought to the Temple as offerings? And those who serve at the altar get a share of the sacrificial offerings.
1Cor.9.14 - In the same way, the Lord gave orders that those who preach the Good News should be supported by those who benefit from it.
I am certain you know that God will of God's self take care of God's own. But of course if God has asked you to take care of the pastor for God who is buda to tell you otherwise?

Just note that God seems to have told a few others in this thread to take care of the poor instead. For just as Christ gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; so also has he given some for the perfecting of the saints, and some for the work of the ministry, and some for the edifying of the body of Christ which is the poor that is amongst us, all for the edifying of Christ.
