Who is controlling you? your mind/brain or Jesus/God?

[b]Let's talk about you and Jesus. You think GOD is doing everything. ============================ First of all – “thinking” has nothing to do with this - - - you cannot reach God through Your mind / thoughts according to what His word teaches. The Bible says that the brain / natural mind / thinking is at war with God, or antagonistic towards His word, teachings and certainly His son Jesus. It takes a ‘spiritual’ experience that only God can provide for those who “sincerely seek” Him, not just to TRY HIM OUT. Jesus watching from heaven, and remote in hand, just controlling you? is that right? =================================== And you came up with this idea from where? This is just childish thinking, and couldn’t be farther frome the truth. Jesus love all of us – even YOU – He’s not keeping tracik of anything or anyone. Scripture teaches that God set up principles, boundaries, and blessings and cursings in the very beginning. We get to ‘choose’ who we accept as God, and His provision for enterance into Heaven, and our choice brings us to whatever end we come to. Or God simply watches or spying on you. Making profile on you, doing bad or good things. ================================= Again – this is just silly – God does not spy on us, He lives with us, or by invitation: within us, and developes a genuine relationship with us, as we allow Him too. If you are doing good things you will be rewarded in the heavens if bad things you will moved to hell. ================================== No – that is not right. One does ‘not’ go to Heaven by what “they” have done – but through believing “and receiving” what Jesus did on the cross for us. Hell was not created for mankind, but for satan and his demonic hordes, and those who ‘reject’ Christ and what He offered, and taught as the truth. That is the main reason that hell will be a place of torment - - because people were never supposed to end up there, but as I referred to above, it is what and whom we choose to serve here and now, that governs where we end up. The pathway is clear, if one is truly searching, and will prayerfully read God’s word, about Jesus and what He taught and gave us as a gift. Is that right what i said? ==================== In a word: NO [/b]

God gave us the free will to do our stuff but according to his 10 commandments w/c are do not worship any god before me, do not steal, do not make adultery, respect your mother & father etc. If you obey God's commandment, you have your reward from heaven. If you became disobedient son face this punishment. God will judge us on the judgment day.

i think i am just controled by the desire in the life. since it, i make the error, since it , i have gained the more progress on my interest and ability... so i call myself "ctrlor", i just want to control me all by myself ...if i can do that i will be a man who can control his action all by his thinking ....

I think that we are able to control ourselves in the long run. We learn about God from our religious education, but I don't actually think that there is something that is bigger than us that is controlling us. Instead, I think that we make our own decisions based on the things that we learn. I think that the lessons that we learn about God are those things that give us our moral conscious and really help to mold the decisions that we make.

We are controlling ourselves. I think God knows in advance what we will do, but He also knows what's in our hearts. Thus, since we are not perfect, we get ourselves into bad predicaments, especially when we don't seek his help. I think that if we are in his favor, then sometimes when we seem to be going in the wrong direction, He'll put something in a dream or nightmare, or put us in a situation where a miracle might occur, or put us in a situation where we follow our hearts and this leads us to the right track (if we listen.) If we don't listen, then He might do something else. I think it might be like probabilities. I am doing something but if I'm steered in this direction what's the probability that I'll be on the right track again? In a way, it's relative. We see things our way, so we wonder that if God knows everything, then many of us are already condemned. If you know math, we are thinking according to our definitions and subsets. But we don't know how God works. We could be condemned and not condemned at the same time, controlled and not controlled because His logic is more pure and beyond our comprehension.

you control your own mind and actions. either you do right or wrong its left up to you.if you do good you will be reward for it, if you do bad you will be punished.Repent confess and he will forgive you but you must live rightouse for than on.

hi vine lets don't and say we did. My feelings and my religion are not for anyone else to make fun of, Yes I believe in God, no he is not controlling me I am not a robot, my mind controls me, no he does not spy you make this sound horrid, the idea spying on me, Please get off this religion kick, I am not answering more questions, you mock and I detest that.

I don't believe in God or Jesus, so I believe that you are controlled by your own mind / brain. If you make a mistake, you cannot blame it on a friend or relative, so you shouldn't blame it on God or Jesus either. You are responsible for your own actions. It is extremely worrying when an individual kills thousands of people because "God told him too".

i think god dont control us, but instead he gave us common sence not to do somethings, but there are some who dont want to do them or the right things. i know i have meant some who do some really dumb things and they say God will watch over me, no he gave sence not too

Interesting question again. I would say that God plants little ideas in your head to do good things...and maybe the devil plants them too..It's your choice which action you choose to take. I think God is all-seeing like they say. I try everyday to be the best that I can be and I think that those that do good things build up their treasures in heaven..those that do angry evil things get eternally burnt.

well i think god has given us the choice of doing good or bad things! though there is something called destiny, he has only chose a path out of two but at the end of the day, we only have the power to choose the path god has chosen for s or the other one! :)

Perhaps God is controlling everything and at the same time spying on me, whether I made the right choice or not, obeyed his rules or not and when things went wrong he did anything to shake and moved me... God has his way of never letting me a sinner forever, if at some point something or someone was misleading me he pulled me out from the darkness and showed me the way to where the light is. He never just watched me as only a sinner but the person that I am who deserves to be healed by his words and be worthy of a place in heaven.

helo..it not about right or wrong for what you had said,its what you believe!!!

just like others, i agree and believe that God gave us free will to decide and choose on our own, its just that in every decision or in everything we choose to do or not there are always consequences for that, that is what i believe. he always guides us and let us do our thing and learn from it.. :)

i guess there are a lot of things and people that plays part of controlling my decision and schedule, but whatever that is i always ask blessing to the Lord almighty on whatever i am going to do. i ask for guidance to accept all of this and give me strength to do what i need to do. i also help in the best way i can. jope you have a wonderful weekend

hi, i believed in God, and i also believed that if i do good things i will be rewarded in heaved and if i do bad thing i will be punish to hell. But i don't know who is controlling me. i do my decisions based on what happen in my everyday life. i just praying to God that please help me in my daily life. i know not my all decisions are good but i was hoping that God will guide me. Not all what i pray seems heard by God but i was hoping he will give me sign why did He not give me what i want.

No That is not correct. God communicates with us through His Holy Spirit, And so does Jesus. The 10th chapter of Acts proves we are dealing with the Holy Spirit of God and Jesus. This is the method God uses to share His wisdom and power with us. However, as powerful as God is He must still work with us through our human brain. Every thought you think, every word you speak and every move your body makes is always completely controlled by your human brain. God designed our human brain and left a small door open where He can get into it any time he wishes. Our brain uses information to control our every thought, word and move and God can plant the information we need to take us where ever we need to go. In order for us to ever have any personal communication with Jesus we must have first been Anointed with the Holy Spirit by God. God can work with us through His Holy Spirit to help us reach a point where it is possible for Him to Anoint us. Once that has happened Our name is written in the book of life and both God and Jesus can share their wisdom and power with us. All this is in the Bible if you know where to look. And if you have God or Jesus showing you the real truth about what you are reading in the Bible. God doesn't play games with us. He is more than willing to help us any way He can if we are just willing to do what we must do to get into a position where He can help us. God requires us to take the first steps toward Him. He will not come and get us. Art

I am thinking for myself and looking to God for guidance. Just as a sheep is not spied on by the shepherd, neither are God's children. The shepherd looks after his sheep's safety, but even with all his diligence, every now and then a sheep gets into trouble - whether from a preying animal, or stepping into an unseen hole, etc. So do God's sheep. He gives us free rein to do as we please, but gives us guidance and hopes we will choose to not to stray into dangerous lands. If we choose to do so, that is our choice, but He waits patiently, calls sweetly and urges us back into the fold.

I believer in fate .but I do not think that everything is producted by God. I think that subject factors are important for everything . attitude and persistence are foundation of success. but I think that fate is a factor of success.

I'm not as religious as I used to be. But, I do think I can respond. Simply put I am in control of my actions. "God" or "Jesus" has no influance on how I think, feel, or think. I'm in control of my thoughts, feelings and actions. After all should I make a mistake who's responsible? Me. Not "god" or "Jesus". Just me, myself and I. If a "higher power" actually "controled" me, then wouldn't he, she or it be responsable for my actions and have to take the blame for the mistakes I make?
