*GOD who is held in the highest of regards here* **so why insult Him and my faith in Him then ?** *Someone disagrees with what you have written* **And he can disagree I did not stop anyone from doing that. Disagree in a respectful manner please. Politeness does not kill maim or harm anyone. The rules clearly tell you to not commit blasphemy.** **To know no Fear is to not be scared. Do not be scared of mortal things, concepts and events. None of that can harm you truly. Also I did not write that so you or anyone else could insult GOD !!!! If that's what you wanna do go do it in the other pochas not mine !** *When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.* **Not only is this true it is truer than you would imagine or believe but I do not expect men and women of weak faith to understand this so have your own opinion on it, if you must.... just don't bother me with it** **If you believe the verses to be gaslighting that's your belief. What do you want me to do about it ? I am not here to influence or change you..... just here to post my own viewpoints.** Go in peace brother

Thank you for this reply. And I can sense the antagonism...I hear where you are coming from and the level of contention is duly noted. You have a Pocha....your rules....all good. But if you are open to debate in the future....I will leave you with some thoughts. You wrote: *"Not only is this true it is truer than you would imagine or believe but I do not expect men and women of weak faith to understand this so have your own opinion on it, if you must.... just don't bother me with it."* I can imagine quite a bit, so it is a bit of a reach for you to dismiss that out of hand. Odd stuff. However, my point here, is that one doesn't require imagination or belief to discern truth. But for you to suggest that another persons faith is too weak to understand...is a bit disingenuous...just sayin. Also, it is not my own opinion...it was a factual statement I made...that you did not contend with....instead you insulted my faith or lack thereof....odd that...no? You wrote: *If you believe the verses to be gaslighting that's your belief. What do you want me to do about it ? I am not here to influence or change you..... just here to post my own viewpoints.* Again, this has nothing to do with belief. Gaslighting is gaslighting. Water is wet...we don't have to believe that. We can factual ascertain truth. However, your point is well taken....you are not here to influence or change....just here to post your own viewpoints. And to that end...I have nothing but respect for that position. Really....all good. Peace to you as well brother.😇

  You cannot discern truth without faith or belief You know 2+2=5 is a lie. WHY ? because you **believe** 2+2=4. WHY? because 2+2 IS EQUAL TO 4. Your belief is rooted in the rational logical path of addition. However beliefs also start from assumptions. Assumptions are not rational or logical ALL the time but act as a vehicle to let your mind process what it has not encountered before. Make enough of the same assumptions you now create an IDEA. IDEAS over time get transformed into belief. BELIEF over time becomes FAITH. You have an idea that imagination and belief cannot discern truth. But that is predicated on a wrong assumption. IMAGINATION is a big vector of creativity and processing. To dismiss imagination as not related to your other neural factors is well to put it mildly foolish. Hence if either your **belief** and **imagination** are limited how will you discern a truth that is outside ur personal experience ??? THE ANSWER IS NEVER AS YOU JUST DEMONSTRATED. Have you never met a person who upon crying to the CREATOR for help were not delivered from ALL their troubles ??? I am such a person. This does not mean that a fresh batch of trouble is not on it's way to waylay me after all to live is to suffer but ALLLLLL of the troubles I had before and during the call to the LORD were solved in one fashion or another. THAT'S what the point of the verse is. PEACE BE UPON YOU BROTHER !
