Skeptical Faith

Heterodox Christian, Biblical Populist, Adoptionist, “The gifts of God are without repentance.” 🧠 God gave you a brain, he wants you to use it!

My grandma told us that bikinis make us pregnant. She wouldn’t allow them on her dock on Lake Michigan. She never told us why, but she was wise. She knew lingerie is what women use to seduce men. Bikinis do the same thing.

Informed people are called conspiracy theorists.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

- Galatians 2:20 (KJV)

@M_W_GGW Only John wrote what Jesus actually said. (As best he could remember, I’m sure.)

The gospel is True, but WAY too many “Christians” spend their time tying themselves in knots trying to reconcile irreconcilable passages!

[Skeptical Faith @ContraryChristn]

Jesus said “I AM the Truth” (purposely paraphased!). We know the Truth because His Spirit lives inside us! The Bible is imperfect as it was written by imperfect men.

@M_W_GGW > It is a collection of historical records not a divine object or 4th part of the Godhead. <
This.

However, the gospels record numerous inconsistencies at best. Matthew and Luke rewrote Mark to convince people to convert. Mark wrote the stories he heard from his father, Peter. /

Your brain doesn’t know what time it is. Every time you replay that conversation from last year, that mistake from last month, that moment you wish you could take back from yesterday, your brain treats it like it’s happening right now. Same stress chemicals. Same alarm bells. You’re not remembering it. You’re reliving it, on a loop you built yourself.

That's because of two things: your brain doesn't know the difference between what's really happening and what you're just imagining, and neuroplasticity means that your brain automates things that you think about and turns them into programs that it runs without you having to think about them next time.

So, the more you rehearse something from the past or something you're just imagining, the more your brain builds out a reality as if that thing is still here right now.

The ninth Commandment of self brain surgery is, "I must believe that what I'm doing I'm getting better at." That means if you're doing things with your mind that are making your brain better at living in the past or worrying about imaginary outcomes, you're getting better at feeling worse. So knock it off.

Here’s the shift: you can’t edit the past, but you can stop rehearsing it. Every replay is a rehearsal, and your brain gets better at whatever you rehearse. Let's make neuroplasticity work for us and not against us.

We call that self-brain surgery. It's not easy at first, it's hard and holy work. But remember, you get better at whatever you repeatedly do

Philippians 3:13 says it like this: forget what lies behind and strain towards what lies ahead. Not denying it happened, but refusing to keep performing it. There's better stuff in the future, but not if you keep building a brain that lives in the past.

Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this for the next time your mind hits replay. Share it with someone stuck on a loop.

[Skeptical Faith @ContraryChristn]

@Presby1992 @Truth_matters20 The Gospel is a) believe in God, b) admit your Sin, c) acknowledge Jesus’s sacrifice to reconcile us to God, d) Accept Him into our hearts, e) follow his leadings/commands.

Anything more is not false, just misleading.

[Lux/Second Paul/Seed of the Morning Star @winnethsouls]

Romans 5:12 (KJV) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

We don't live in a matrix we live in a fallen world.

[Skeptical Faith @ContraryChristn]

@wendelltalks That’s easy. Don’t!

[Skeptical Faith @ContraryChristn]

@Truth_matters20 Nah! They just want to live their (sinful) lives the way they want to without looking to God’s guidance.

[Skeptical Faith @ContraryChristn]

@DaviddRhome @NotEvolution1 You ignored what I said. Evolutionists use provable Adaption to “prove” Life arose from non-Life and all the stages in between.

[MWGGW (Men & Women Going God's Way) @M_W_GGW]

Christian religion will almost literally chew you up and spit you out as you chase religious practices. It will heap burdens and Biblical rules/Laws upon you and judge you by the letter of the Law. Real freedom comes when you actually come to Christ as His disciple as He said.

[Steve Simms @CSteveSimms]

Being Spirit-led is beyond belief. It requires active participation with and surrender to God the Holy. Try it and see!

@M_W_GGW This is why there are 35,000 different protestant denominations. Catholics and Orthodox must believe their official doctrines.

[Skeptical Faith @ContraryChristn]

@M_W_GGW God made each of us unique and we each have unique understanding of God and theology - even the writers of the Bible differed! They even differed from letter to letter. The Paul who wrote Ephesians thought differently than he did when he wrote Galatians!
