How Great is the Darkness?

[Herr Heinrich]

That's ok. Yin and Yang are constantly changing. At a certain point one becomes the other. They also always have the a little of the other in them. One is not stronger than the other they are balanced.
That's what this symbol represents. The world is change existence is change. The only thing that doesn't change is Tao.

I understand.

[*Paul*]

First of all you need to accept that this will be with you until the day you die or when the Lord comes.

Secondly you should get encouragement fromt he fact the you are not comfortable with the darkness in you and long to be freed from it, this shows that there is an inner conflict, the grace of God working in you warring against you flesh nature.

I advise that you never give up and settle for misery, fight the good fight of faith, put on the full armour of God, forever confess your short comings. Do not rely on your own strength to overcome this darkness but realise that your own strength is the darkness, you must die to self and put this in Gods hands, He will give you the victory to subdue your enemy but be sure to give Him all the glory.


Hebrews 12:11-12 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

1st Corinthians 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

1st Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


This is assuming of course that you are a Christian.

I am not christian, and I do not take advice from christians. But I honor any sincere care comming from others, so I thank you for that. I believe it to be Gods will that I am in the Darkness now, and have been all of my life. I feel no compulsion to explain this to a christian, because I know how christians are, they cannot understand what I am saying, what I am living. I think all of humanity is in the Darkness, not just me.

I am not on some " Woe is me kick", I think we all are deceived and live under this great power of deception. I just feel more comfortable focusing on myself being deceived, because " I Know I am deceived", I KNOW the Darkness has me. And if I happen to forget it for awhile, it has a unique way of getting my attention and letting me know its still there.

Peace.

I don't know if you appreciate humour mikiel, but...

Put on the Armour of God...PJs that is. Surely there is nothing better to combat the Darkness with. I mean it even says it gives children a secure feeling in the dark.

Well I see the humor in this for sure. The Darkness often vists me when I go to bed. It seems to favor that time with me. Its a most unusual experience, it will repeatly use the same dream patterns that it feels torments you.

Listen, have me a pair of those pjs sent to me, I'm willing to try them if they produce some comfort.

Peace.

 

[Herr Heinrich]

I would but there like 35 bucks. May I suggest instead the Jesus nightlight at a modest price of $1.49

 

[mickiel]

Its kind of entertaining to me how deeply rooted the Darkness is. And in the most unsuspecting human areas. Young boys walking around with their pants hanging down on their butts and loving that perverted style. People cursing as if its now an accepted language, Atheist thinking that their beliefs should be tolerated and Pacified, neighbors not communicating with each other, and religions at each others throats. The Darkness has these Atheist out there on its frontline, convincing people that it does not exist. Christians out there convincing people that hell exist.

Its getting Darker everyday, but yet the people think we are more enlightened.

Peace.

And thats how Great the Darkness is. Its so Great, so powerful and gripping in its ability to soothe and engulf its prisioner, while making them content complettely in the deception.

And I must go into that.

Peace.

Didnt read the whole discussion on here (not enough time)

One thing about my life I have regretably come to accept, is that I live my life in the Darkness. I had to leave the Church many years ago because I began to understand that I was different than them, I had a lot of sin in me, and it was in me to stay. I was born with sin, and it ruled much of my life. It was also just as easy for me to believe in God, since my memory began, as far back as I can recall. I just always believed in God, that has never been an issue with me, its been easy. But there was something in me that was drawn to sin. The way it made me " Feel", the pull it had has always been more powerful than I. Its just that when I was young, I didnot know what this " Darkness was." This " Thing inside of me", this influence that kept hurting me, rotting my sucesses and knocking me down. I didnot understand that this " Force" was indeed Great!

In Matthews 6:23, Jesus himself gives an astounding teaching;"But if your eye is bad, your whole body is full of Darkness. If therefore the Light in you is Darkness, how Great is the Darkness!" If what is really leading you, is this Great Darkness, then the Darkness is your Master. Its what has you. And it has had me all of my life. It has never taken away my belief in God, but it has continually asserted its dominance over me. I understand what the Great King David meant when he asked God not to let his sin have dominion over him.

But I wanted to give an inside view of this Great Darkness, because I live in it each day.

Peace.

God says in Quran (39:53)

"53. Say: "O 'Ib�d� (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of All�h, verily All�h forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

May God guide you and myself to his right path, and protect you from evil.

Well thank you, and may he guide you as well.

Ameeeeen. Thanks for the dua' (prayer)

 

[fatima_bintu_islam]

Btw, have you read the verse I posted?

Best regards

 

[bobhikes]

Darkness is only the absence of light it is not a thing

Light has physical and wave properties

The weakest light will defeat the blackest darkness.

You have to avoid the light by building walls to block it because it returns everyday.

Just wait and the wall will naturally break down and little by little the light will return. You can't escape the light forever.

 

[fatima_bintu_islam]

I hope it breaks down fast, coz enjoying darkness is just lying on oneself. The human nature was raised on the fact that after every night, they see the sun coming from nowhere and enlightening everything. So, Inshallah the light will come back soon and you'll see then that darkness is nothing but self torturing.

May Allah azza wajjal helps you breaking the wall. Amen

Just as sure as there is Light, its just as sure that there is Darkness. Just as sure as there is Good, Evil is just as relevant and real. The Darkness is a real relevant componant in Gods plan of Salvation. Without Evil, ( or the Darkness), there would have been no plan for humanity. God did it this way, so that tells me it couldNOT have been done any better kind of way.

The Darkness is real, Evil flows through humanity, and is doing what it was designed to do.

And I want to go into that.

Peace.

peace to you too but why would you want that since it does not even require an effort?

This is not what I want, its what I see and observe. This is not about " Me." Human desire does not control the Darkness, its the other way around.

You can't pin the Darkness on humans, its not our creation, its more powerful than us, we do not manufactor it, although I know it is common for humans to blame other humans for it.

A common ploy of the Darkness, get humans to blame each other for the apparent evil that exist. Make them pin the orgin of evil on themselves, let them take full responsibility for it.

A most grave error in judgement.

And I want to go into why this deadly self - handicap has burdened humanity for so long.

Peace.

for the record, we're inclined to blame others and that's blinding because if we could take responsibility of our actions, we would get to know ourselves and be able to chose becoming better people.

i am curious now. what do you exactly mean by "going into it"? what are you planing to do? if it is not going to be too personal, if it is and if you rather not answer i'll understand..but i am curious to know

I think humans should take responsibility for their actions, but not the responsibility for evil itself, theres a distinct difference. We need to know what " Makes us tick", and know what makes us do evil. At its orgin, evil exist outside of the human, then enters the human, so it is no longer the human doing it, but the evil within them. Thats what Paul meant in Romans 7:15-21.

By " Going into it", I mean examining it, studying it, expounding on it, and bearing witness to it.

Peace.
