Btw I'm not your 'mate' . No offence . I prefer 'bro'

Does your belief system include controlling the language used by others?

No. Most certainly not.

I only suggest , never dictate

Ok kid. But I'm not your mate. My ex was my mate.

I've taken your suggestion onboard but have decided to stick with mate.

Also means it doesn't matter if you catch it or not, or whether I can even explain it properly .

I prefer “mate” as bro is short for brother and you are certainly not related to me.

So anyway, you have a “belief system” but can’t or won’t explain it, but you claim that it “works” for you and is self evident to those who witness your life.

Do you think there is anyone in this forum who doesn’t have that?

As Rajk alluded to in another thread , good works are done in secret, similarly belief systems are constructed .
It is not evident to many except for those who know what to look for.

I think many on this forum dont have the same level of assurance that I have.

Btw It's refreshing to have Romans absent. So much less clutter

Consider replacing “trust” by “reasonably predict.”

Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

Whatever seems right to you, correct? What could go wrong?

Its not for everyone just me. Your rhetoric doesn't cut it.

Yes, get it, you like what you like and you stand apart doing your own thing, because it
suits you.

“So anyway, you have a “belief system” but can’t or won’t explain it, ”

Somewhere someone said that women speak to communicate; men speak to express themselves.

No. Hawaii in the winter suits me.

As mentioned in the op I have suffered . Also I have been confused on many issues for much of my life.
Clearly you dont get it. This belief system , which I live, is not a convenient or easy choice to live by. Everyday feels scary, everyday I'm on my toes looking for ways to improve my life via good works. Everyday I seek to be worthy of the Lord

Why don't you ask him about it?

The only problem is that this doesn't work if your heart is false.

Your way confuses me over Jesus, the Way. God tells us we are not worthy, cannot get
worthy on top of that, so He makes us worthy, and gives us His Spirit to lead us, teach
us, love us, and guide us. If the way is too high for us, our burdens to heavy for us, this
world to dark for us, why be upset if you cannot reach it on your own, and God offers you
freely a choice that cleans you of all your wrongs, established in His righteousness not
your own? From there you can do the good works He leads you into, for His name sake
not your own righteousness, and truth be told His offer is so good when we try to add to it
we diminish it by suggesting Jesus' blood isn't enough.
