    Joyce Meyer has a great view on 'Wilderness Mentality'. She says it is an attitude of self-seeking wandering. An aimless waste of time spent in fear, doubt and disobedience. Hungry, thirsty, tired and frustrated, we get stuck going over the same ground over and over. We get out when we stop letting our emotions and feelings lead us around by the nose and instead, trust Jesus as our guide.

    In the OT and the NT, the wilderness is where God's servants met with God. Israel was with God as He led them out of Egypt into the wilderness of Sinai. Elijah fled into the wilderness after the triumph at Mount Carmel where God spoke to him and directed him afresh. John the Baptist was in the wilderness as the forerunner to Christ. Jesus was in the wilderness before His earthly ministry started, to seek God and to deal with the devil.

    The wilderness is the antithesis of the city - the world. The wilderness is where humanity found itself after being cast out of the garden of Eden, but God was to be found in the wilderness. Alas, humanity strove to avoid the wilderness and to build cities to defy God's express command to go out into the world He had created for them. There is no fear of the wilderness for those who seek God, and who know their God. That is Christian wilderness mentality.

    God. If god is one like it is written in the bible then that means it too aswell grew lonesome, on its own like a wild animal. Feral. Wilderness mentally.

    Those who sit around and claim to be Christians but who make up a Trinity god to appease the pagans.

    The Bible Does Not Say That Jesus Was God

    Nowhere in the Bible is it mentioned that Jesus ever claimed to be God. Rather, he specifically called the "Father...the only true God." (John 17:1-3; Also see John 20:17; 2 Corinthians 1:3 and 1 Corinthians 8:6)

    Nowhere in the Bible does it conclusively say that Jesus is God. Instead, the Bible repeatedly refers to Jesus as the "son of God". Because the Bible describes Jesus as the second oldest and second most important person in the universe (Prov. 8:22), the Bible calls Jesus:

    the "only-begotten Son" of God. (John 1:14; 3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9)

    "the first-born of all creation". (Colossians 1:15)

    "the beginning of God's creation". (Revelation 3:14)

    The Bible shows that Jesus is subordinate to God: "The head of the Christ is God." (1 Corinthians 11:3) Jesus himself said: "The Father is greater than I am." (John 14:28)

    suppose your country had attacked a superior country, out-of-greed, and were defeated and enslaved for 300-years;and if you were a slave, wouldn't you dream of being free, roaming out in the wilderness of the desert, and that it would rain cooked-bread to feed you?
