The kingdom of heaven

Thank you Mr Big Fish, for the invitation to join here.
Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let
down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was
full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat
down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad
away. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels
will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw
them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:47-50)

[/quote]Simple and true. I know I'm not as good as I could be or
maybe should. I know because I don't try hard enough I think. At
the same time, I believe my heart is good and that I will have
eternal life with God and Christ and the whole host of heaven.
I can almost imagine but it's difficult to comprehend of course
and we can't know here on earth how wonderful heaven is. We are
seated in heavenly places already.

Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like the internet that
catches all kinds of fish. How do you screen folks? How do you
sort them? The difficult thing about the many internet fishing
holes of which this is one, is the practiced art of deception.
People are seldom what they purport to be. They are seldom
honest, seldom true, seldom transparent, and never aware.
If people knew they were being watched, or if they thought that
they had no anonymity, would they behave differently? Would
there be fewer internet warriors?
What a tangled web....
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to
deceive.”
Same guy said--
“Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to
follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied
limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.” (Sir Walter Scott)

[/quote]We judge. Many times we judge or "assess" quickly, as an
instinctive action. I think time always tells when getting to
know someone. On the internet I say the exact same things as I
do to people in person, believe it or not. To get a glimpse of
how I interact with people I have all of my live streams post,
good and bad, wonderful and ugly.
I truly have nothing to hide and I believe strongly that God is
working in my life presently more than He has in the past
although, upon reflection I see God in my life as far back as I
can remember. I am also quick to anger and I can be verbally
abusive which I am still working on.
I started a PayPal and a Patreon and my YT channels long before
I had any support. I'm not on YT to make a profit. My entire
life in the last 6 years has been transformed into spreading the
truth as I understand it, whether anyone agrees with me or not.
I like to facilitate connections and fellowship with between
people and think and talk about God.
I donate most all of the money I receive back to other creators
in need. Of course, the greatest content creator of all time is
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ !!!

I've seen some of you highs and lows Mark. I applaud your
honesty and transparency.
Do you find that to be the norm? Or are you outside the norm.
Most people don't want their name attached to their profile or
there whereabouts disclosed and there are a lot of valid reasons
for that precaution in this world we live in. The dangers are
real and not made up.
What I'm speaking of is intentional deceit- which exists where
people have multiple persona, multiple accounts and a myriad of
reasons for doing the things they do.
When I say the kingdom of heaven is like a net, or like the
internet, when you pull it all into your boat you have to be
selective. You have to be willing and able and discerning
enough to hold on to what is good and cast the rest away.
That's kind of opposed to the goal and intent of most content
developers wouldn't you say?
Most think that an accumulation of eyeballs is the definition of
success without even a minute's thought of these concerns. Is
any member a good member?
Sure-- if all you are trying to accomplish is an accumulation of
members. But if you have some other purpose, this should be
reflected in your net results. Know what I mean? Matthew and
Mark both address membership issues in terms of what is
profitable. They aren't speaking of monetizing anything either.
When you invited me here you indicated that you only invite
certain people. Would you mind sharing what criteria you use to
determine who gets an invite?

I invite people here that I feel a connection with. Either a
post or after reading many posts from a person. I don't consider
anyone members. I invite people that are mature and are deep
thinkers.
I am disabled and have low income so the monetized thing is a
blessing from God that I never planned on or thought possible. I
initially thought that if an occasional person really liked my
video or my message they might donate.
I started this forum because I was being censored on every forum
and ridiculed, banned, blocked and mocked. I was prepared to be
the only one here. Sometimes I question even my own motives
because I do begin to think about money now in different ways.
I am not a teacher or a pastor and I make that clear. I didn't
invite anyone here for the reason of possibly getting donations.
It was 16 months before Bladerunner gave me $30 one time and my
dear friend Michael Cadry whom I've known since 2014 graciously
gives me $40 a month which is double what I pay each month for
this forum.
I have other expenses that I consider part of this forum which
total $72 altogether. It's worth it. Theology Forums was empty
until I joined there and invited over 100 people I knew from
other forums. Perhaps you weren't aware of that. I joined in
March 2018. It's good talking to you and you can ask me
anything. I will either tell you or I won't, lol.

Please don't think I'm calling your motives into question. I'm
not. I'm just trying to determine what this place is, why it
exists, what it's purpose is and what it should mean to me.
I understand completely what you are talking about in terms of
other forums. I've tried speaking up at other places-- so
called 'Christian' forums where you have to think and speak only
of approved topics in an acceptable manner. Challenge their
thinking? Heretic!
I stumbled across CherubRam's forum a few months ago and within
a day he had invited me to Theology Forum and I truly appreciate
what it is, and I know you are a big part of what it is, so
thank you for that and again, I'm not questioning you beyond my
honest questions in wanting to understand.
My own awakening I've shared elsewhere came about in a very
small forum setting which I had found while searching to gain
insight around some strange dreams I'd been having. I found a
man-- named Mark also, who could understand dreams and believe
it or not, he was able to interact with me, in my dreams. I
would see him, speak with him, sit with him, walk with him and
so on, and we became fast friends. I visited him once in person
in Wyoming and we sat and had lunch together... well I had lunch
and he had coffee and pie.
We keep in touch only on rare occasion these days as he prefers
his own company mostly, lives remotely in the mountains of
Colorado and enjoys some solace there. He facilitated
incredible changes in me and I know without a doubt that I
wouldn't be here or in any forum had he not shown me the things
he did, when he did, and the way he did.
That forum blew up while we conversed together and then not long
afterwards he left and then the forum literally blew up and
disappeared. I've never found another place that felt right,
though I tested waters at several different places-- no where
felt right and my fire faded.
Then my wife developed a brain tumor that was taking her sight
and that and other cares of this world robbed me of any interest
in spiritual things and for the last number of years I haven't
spoken of any of these things at all until I clicked upon
Cherubram's place, Theology Forum and now here.
When I discovered (I think it was you who told me) that the
Tattooed Theist was the site owner there and when I looked at
some of his stuff I was drawn in and finding the site to be at
least somewhat of a safe space for seekers of truth I opened up
a little and in doing so my dreams returned and so I speak there
of what I know from what I'm shown and told. Weird eh?
And of this place? Who knows?

Mr E, how are you doing lately brother? What have you imagined
and visualized about heaven starting from what you thought as a
child until today. What things do you think about when you think
of heaven? Have you heard of the hoary frost of
heaven?☢🚮☕
