Here's the how to on praying and communicating with God.
God's ready knows you before you even ask. So just do it.
Listening and hearing is both really simple and easy. Ask and you'll recieve. Seek and you'll find. Knock and it'll open.
Seek God first and all else are given as well.
It's happening soon. Prepare please.

With no institution? Then that's anarchy, and you're back to free speech again, with the occasional lynchmob.

Remember that Jesus Christ had to talk in parables to fulfill completely.

Yeah, but what was the point of refuting freedom of speech if there's no government in the first place? Freedom of speech means preventing the government from restricting speech, that's it.
What was the point you were trying to make?

No take the legalism mess to /mlpol/
This is about Spiritual warfare.
Yes you have to watch your own thoughts, strike down imagined evils that may arise before they be fully created, direct your mind to God and allow God to foil the Enemy.
Does it seem counter intuitive to The World, it is because The World can't even know truth!
Do you not know Jesus and what Jesus has done?
Stop obsessing over evil when obsessing over Good has that be created.

Look friends, the Bible tells you why and how reality works.
As essence God does it. Consider this Jesus is in the heart and is the heart of our Father.
Son and Father and Spirit made it so at all levels.
Jesus has invited you to be one with Him and also you are made to be the image of God.
Glorification raises, so Glorify Jesus as Jesus Glorifies the Father and so the Father Glorifies you so you can Glorify The Son.
Our Father loves His Son very much.
>In your mind glorify Him
>Thus out of your mouth glorify Him
>Thus you'll find yourself glorifying our Friend, Father, Brother, God.
And your Joy will be made full, complete and perfect when you seek, ask and knock.
Who do you seek? Him and all else will be given and fulfilled!

As this seems to be the catch all thread for the topic of God.
Why are the leaves of the Tree of Life used for the healing of nations (tribes) in revelation?

Could be symbolic, as leaves fall in the autumn and represent the end of the season. Leaves are often used in healing ceremonies. The apocalypse is the end of the material world, and the leaves of the tree of life are the final product of life itself.
The substance really doesn't matter. God could use rocks or dirt or thin air, but the symbolism of death, healing, revival and the cycle of nature matters.

Revelations is full of symbolism. That's not to say it isn't meant to be taken literally (although some parts could be metaphorical just because their real world equivalent wasn't explainable in biblical times), but everything that happens in the Revelations is symbolic, because everything that happens has meaning.

It is a recipe to pack your wishes and broadcast it to the matrix mainframe. If you do it right, the mainframe will respond in kind.
Watch out for an unexpected boomerang hitting you bad and hard. What you summon might be what you get.

That's the jist*, the details are in the how.
A baby prays and also without ceasing. At all times.
*Of what prayer mechanically represents
Continued more than wishes and the recipe is the instructions that it is a recipe in and of itself. The steps of a recipe just so happen to be upon 'The Recipe'.
Continued 2 A message in a bottle, depends on who opens and picks it up. Yet even before the message it's recieved.
Continued 3 I wouldn't suggest a matrix mainframe that as stated is a finicky mess. It's the by technically and design not how it's ment to be used. While stuff could happen, it's worth considering the intended functionality and meaning.

What exactly defines "spiritual war" as a Christian? I see people describing how to do it, but less of what it actually means.

The fact that it's in /vx/ instead of /ub/ makes me think it has something to do with supernatural metaphysics, and not just ideal lifestyle, good religious citizenship, personal spiritual wellbeing, and how to be a good Christian.
After reading the thread again twice, I still don't quite understand what OP means by "spiritual war".

Is the goal to combat the evil in the transitory world (which will inevitably be destroyed), or is it to save individuals from evil?
>all the issues are solved.
Well, not all issues. The material world is foretold to be consumed by evil before the apocalypse. I don't know if the point is so much to stop the tide of evil as it is to save individuals by pulling them aboard the arc. Stopping the influence of evil in the material world is to give people more greater opportunities to live peaceful lives.

Both matter.
By having people have The Holy Spirit they are saved and everything turns better.
By rejecting evil people can more easily have The Holy Spirit.
While evil may be a sinful ocean of death striving against evil by seeking good which repulses evil is commendable.
Because people matter and so does God.
>The material world is foretold to be consumed by evil before the apocalypse.
By praying you'll participate in God's plan for that. As after death is the fire of spirit.

Don't forget the diinosaurs either intelligently designed to kill or evolutionarily optimized to do it
And all the intestines and buttholes and methods of digesting plant and prey in the animal kingdom
Microbes. Single celled organisms.
To say death and pain are divine punishments for man for eating the fruit of knowledge and disobeying god is a porquoi story no different from telling your child earthquakes happen because of homosexuality or a woman being sent by god to open Pandora's Box.

Yeah like no shit a bunch of bronze age painters would make them have bellybuttons, they probably never gave it a thought. The statement of the image is so dumb it eludes having any meaning at all.

C'mon.
According to the Bible's Genesis, Adam and Eve were created, however, artistic depictions funded by the church contradict that. I'm have 100% certainty that is not a mistake.
Something is not adding up.

>I'm have 100% certainty that is not a mistake.
Why? Why must it be nefarious, instead of the artist simply not considering it, or considering it and thinking "they look better with bellybuttons"? It's not like church-funded art is supposed to be canon: it's just art, made to illustrate biblical elements so that the public can appreciate them, while also flexing the power of the church by commissioning pretty things to decorate it.

Scientific understanding of human anatomy wasn't widespread back then; it was quite a novel thing in the Renaissance era.
Furthermore, a lot of this art is based on Greek/Roman art for appreciation of the human body, including the navel. As a work of art, it is an abstraction: the artist has no obligation to create a speculative human without a bellybutton just because Adam and Eve would have lacked them, when part of the point of the artwork is to celebrate the conventional human body.

Because the Church doesn't commit that kind of mistakes. Priests are not dumb and perfectly know how a baby is born.
Those artistic depictions are heretical and everybody involved would deserve swift punishment. Yes, there is nefarious intent.

I think he's implying that the church intentionally commissioned inaccurate art to... weaken or subvert its own religion or something?
I don't really believe seeing paintings of Adam and Eve with belly buttons has caused anyone to question the legitimacy of Christian cosmology when they already believed in it. A painting is just a painting.

People who take the bible as literally as to think that a grand conspiracy of artists was involved in such minor "disinformation" is more plausible than that, more often than not deify these specific people while abhorring or neglecting humanity at large.

I don't believe that considering that that kind of mistakes may terminate both the artist and the supervising priests. Add to this small curious artistic detail how the Church depicts widely gargolas and assorted satanic paraphernalia.
It is everywhere for everybody with eyes to see.
