The Holy Ghost is a companion we gain after baptism. It speaks through Scripture, numerology etc. However, I still don't get why obtaining this gift does literally nothing to alleviate pain and suffering, only adds burden and persecution, and on top of that, the responsibility is still on us. I just don't understand why metaphysically we would be judged by entities that have the abject power to change and shift reality. They could intervene, but they don't intervene, so we are continuously tested. What a miserable existence! I asked for none of these tests.

You certainly have an interesting gift, if that is the case. But I'm still not sure what your problem is with dogma.


God Himself was made flesh. And despite being perfectly innocent, He was still crucified as the lowest of criminals. Just pick up your cross and deliver your suffering to God with earnest joy. You will understand.
Remember that there is not a single religion that will deliver you from suffering in this world. Christians are simply the most frank about what is going on and what is expected of you.

My problem is that people who just follow what the book says without any other interpretation/religion won't let it be more abstract. It's like you HAVE to say the Holy Spirit isn't you, that it's bestowed on you. 
But the same feeling/sensations can be found in other religions, even the bible says people who don't know Jesus or practice another religion can have the Holy Spirit with them, as they cooperate with God. This leads me to believe we all already have it, it's just a matter of becoming self aware and acting right.

thats not a problem, thats good. I read the bible for years without knowing the HS, it wasnt until i was called that the holy spirit informed how to interpret the word of God, there arew much hidden messages, geometrical secrets and paradoxes as well as disinformation within it but if are still following me, the disinfo also is the word of God. You have to understand that things need to be encoded and protected so that the the truer meanings can be found only by those who are called by God to know the word of God

im following and have felt similar things. I get that the true message is encoded so only the real ones will get it. I also get that the Bible has dual meanings and multiplicities of interpretations. What I don't get it is why self-pleasure in any form is considered a metaphysical sin that I have to pay for in the afterlife. Life is extremely shit. My stomach constantly hurts whenever I eat anything. Marijuana for me, helped my stomach. So does sex. Both are bad in the Bible. I get why, because drugs diminish your mental faculties, and sex idk is bad for whatever reason (i dont entirely get it. I guess there is a case for Nofap and retaining vital nutrients and having higher testosterone, and you have more energy to work on other stuff) but seriously I am in constant pain. I cant go back now, I know the Holy Ghost is with me and Jesus died for my sins and God is real. I just dont fucking get why doing something that would make me feel better would be a sin.
