Re: Weird things you believe?
I believe the Trinity may not have always been a Trinity (or Triunity) in the eternal past, but that God may have chosen to make Himself into this Trinity/Triunity in order to experience relationship, even before Creation.
I don't know this to be the case. It is conjecture, based on some very vague scripture. I believe it is a possibility.Thanks for your patience in the thread's I have previously committed myself to. Things are still difficult and topsy-turvy here, and I may actually start work somewhere this week (strong likelihood), so I'll do my best to answer some of those threads! See you in the forums...

I believe I have known the future. I don't mean like in a way where I could say that exactly this is going to happen exactly in this way, but like a sense of something that was going to happen.

Re: Weird things you believe?
I am pretty sure that this does not count as a "belief," but now that RTT mentions it, I am occasionally absolutely STRICKED with Deja Vu. I don't believe I'm actually getting "visions" of the future or anything, but at certain periods in my life I was getting it on a daily basis, at least once a day.

Hey, the day after I most felt like something bad was going to happen but dismissed it, part of our roof blew off with a gust of wind that quite shook the house and is probably responsible for cracks in the stucco. The shaking was likely responsible for the pipes shifting to bring dirt and rocks into our bathroom plumbing which caused us to get a plumber. I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen and thought of posting a prayer request that night and that I should pray about it, but it was only wind so I dismissed it thinking that the worst that was likely was that part of the already damaged fence would be damaged.

I believe that had some sense of what was going to happen but I just didn't know quite what and I ignored it. That is the most notable instance.
Then there are the things that are just easy to figure out, like after my mom's quiet entry, she would be tired and the answer would be yes she did have cancer, but that is probably just logic.Hope dangles on a string / Like slow spinning redemption / ... / I am captivated / I am Vindicated / I am selfish / I am wrong / I am right / I swear I'm right / I swear I knew it all along / And I am flawed / But I am cleaning up so well / I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself / Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional

Re: Weird things you believe?
I'm not sure I have many weird beliefs. While some (or all) of them may be wrong, I'm not as paranoid/suspicious as I used to be, so I haven't picked up any officially weird beliefs lately.
I do still think there is a international conspiracy of Communists. But only because that was an aim outlined in the Communist Manifesto. I don't think it's too crazy to think certain people of like minds hang out with each other and agree with each other and want to make real their hopes for the future by any means necessary. Oh wait, that was pretty weird.

I believe that the copy of the Communist manifesto that I got from the local library and read a few years ago is stupid and outdated, but then that could be fact. I wonder if the manifesto has ever changed.
I believe that nothing will kill me before I am at least 25.
I believe that whenever I am not such a perfect driver and there are other drivers around, whoever is right near me will be really aggrivated with me or if I don't drive fast enough for the person behind me and I should try to stay way ahead if whoever is behind me if I am on a busy street and so I have a slight fear of other drivers at times which I don't see as irrational.Last edited by Dracula Girl; May 24th 2005 at 03:32 PM.

Re: Weird things you believe?
Another conjecture, but I believe it's entirely possible that there were other entirely divinely inspired works which have been lost. Possibly such works as the Book of Jasher, or The Book of the Wars of the Lord, or any of many dozens of other works mentioned in scripture, some of them quoted in scripture as if at least that part of the original work was also divinely inspired, and referred to as the work of a prophet.
I also believe that we could very easily have ended up with less than 66 books, as well. We don't necessarily need them all. The entire canon isn't absolutely necessary. We would have been fine without Ruth, for example. Or Revelation. On the other hand, works like Galatians, Ephesians, Romans are absolutely critical to the Body of Christ, today.Thanks for your patience in the thread's I have previously committed myself to.

I believe that the great tribulation took place in the first century AD.

I don't think it's all that weird. I believe the tribulation was supposed to happen in the 1st century, and that it probably actually began by or at Acts 2!

I believe that Freemasonry is evil and more dangerous than given credit for. I believe that Bigfoot is real (but not a Mason).
