This may all sound a little odd to all of you, but it is troubling me enough to post.

Seems last night I had a dream, believe it or not, of how I post here on AMHD in regards to religious post. ( I know, sad I am even dreaming AMHD

I rarely, if ever, remember my dreams. In the dream it was actually a poster ( no name of the poster in the dream), telling me to stop telling everyone they are good and everything is okay.

That was the crux of the dream, but it was pretty strong. I am not saying that God spoke to me in a dream, but the message was so strong, and softly sturn, if that makes any sense.

I guess it concerns me, as it gave me the impression I am doing more harm than good.

In my heart I beleive in God, in heaven and scarey enough in hell. I also believe in purgatory.

I guess, for those of you know my way of posting, am I doing more harm then good.

I beleive that God is a loving God and that's why I post the way I do. I am not asking you to critique my post, just to those of you who do beleive in God, am I doing more harm then good, by being so "soft" when responding about the dangers in not be one with God?

My heart it telling me that I am, or more accurately, I fear I am doing more harm then good.

I think that God would actually be upset and even angry with me, for this.

I do ask your honest opinions, and I will also pray on it.

Thank you.

This site Ask Me Help Desk. (Sorry about that )

starfirefly

got ya...well i think that everyone has their own beliefs and critisizing other for believing different from yourself is wrong, i believe that god wants everyone to find their own way, in their own time

Allheart

Thanks Star - and I would never be critical or judgemental, I completely agree.

But if someone comes right out and ask if they are going to hell, if they are not one with God?

Those type of questions.

starfirefly

i would just ask them what do they believe, cause thats all that really matters is what you believe

Allheart

Thank you again.

Dear Allheart,

your dream was just a dream. Do not try to put anymore value to it. It was just a dream. A single dream. Like so many dreams we all have, but which we normally all forget upon awakening.

"In the dream it was ... telling me to stop telling everyone they are good and everything is okay".

How can that be wrong? Why would the God in whom you believe be angry with you for that?
So you live your life more accordingly to the New Testament, and less to the Old Testament. But as a Christian that is supposed to be your attitude, is it not?

Your approach towards others so far is more accordingly to the teachings of Jesus than that of many of those who seem to experience their religious beliefs based on fear for the wrath of and for God.

Go on as before. You're on the high road!

Wow John,

Thank you so much. Your words did bring great comfort.

Thank you again.

Scary but I will agree with Credendovidis, telling people the good in life is never wrong by any main religion,

And to move on to sepecificly Christian faith, a message from God will never go against the teachings of the bible, and the bible tells us all people have value and worth.

But it does sound like you need a day or two vacation form AMHD or perhaps not so much of what ever you ate that night
