You are funny 
The good news is that all things work for the good,
for those who love God. The problem with so many here is that they
want to pretend they do, and you don't. If you have never seen this,
perhaps you are blessed. You have just passed your one year anniversary
here, and I am approaching my second. Your post count is not very high
comparatively... now I could make up a story about that and pretend it
was true or I could simply make the observation as I have, and leave it
at that. Most are not willing to just leave it at that. Why is that?
No, if you are not familiar with my life's circumstances, then I am not
apt to filling in many of the details if I do not think it warranted. Your
curiosity is not warrant for me. I could tell many stories and name many
names in various tales but what good would it do? It is not my way.
I may tell stories, but leave the names out, and honor anonymity, publicly.
Here is a story for you. There was a thread once, where a bunch of people
were discussing or gossiping about someone who was not present. At least
a couple of them became quite indignant when I posted a picture of Jesus
writing on the ground, with the adulterous woman nearby, and the people
to one side waiting to cast their stones. I was repeatedly attacked and
called all kinds of names when I had not said one word. One woman
continuously addressed me but I ignored her, and then another made up
a narrative of how I was responding to her based on what my reactions
were to what the other woman was saying, even though I was completely
ignoring that other person. Both of them worked pretty hard at judging and
condemning me for posting that image. Then one of them went off and
created a thread about how nasty people are getting, as if she had no idea of
what she had just done and how abusively she had just treated me. In her
mind she was completely justified for her repeated attacks on me and all her
false accusations. It was not the first time she had treated me like that, either.
Sounds almost typical to me. What say you? Do you have similar stories?
If you were to tell them, would you name names? Why, or why not?

I was banned because I slammed everyone by name until the complaints poured in and I got banned.
I got banned before for slamming the mods in an open forum.
I got banned another time for slamming the senior administrator in private.
So I would say I am the type that does not hide my feelings.
I use my real name, have given my real address and phone number in open threads several times, because I fear no one.
I am protected by Jesus.
So when I call on you to name names, maybe I should be asking who you are first.
You can call it not hiding your feelings and I can call it being discreet
and holding my tongue. You know, the Bible actually asks us to do that
However, not disclosing names is not hiding my feelings. I think you want to know more because you understand the feelings of what I have expressed. You respond quite differently than I do. You have gotten in trouble for your approach, repeatedly, but you want me to follow your example? I think it would not be very wise for me to do so. There are probably many factors at play in how we deal with different situations, also, and some of them may be quite deeply rooted in our personalities and families of origin, not to mention lessons we have learned in life. Neither one of us are particularly young. Even so, your life has been quite different than mine. How long have you been Christian?

I don't believe we ALL will be healed. But I do KNOW for sure that people get healed at my own church all the time.... from minor stuff to major things. This is not an uncommon occurrence, at all. I feel kind of sorry for people in churches where it never happens. I attended one of those for about 12 years, and we were all certain it just did not happen anymore.
I am with Allen. If I feel something strongly enough that I have to talk about it, I much prefer to openly name, names. But I have also learned that forums are just as restrictive and uptight as any other organization that plays political games. So.... you have to learn to keep your "Yes" from being yes, and your "No" from being no... by whispering in the subversive PC language of noncommittal conversation.
Yes, it makes me feel like less of a man, but it is the way of the world today..... and as much as we say we do not want to follow the world, in this area, we know we have to fall in line.
Would Jesus behave this way? (I'd rather not have to hear the answer.)

On the other hand, who are you?
A muslim maybe.
Some sort of person with a hidden agenda that can't be traced.
How do I know?
Are you a child?
Who are you and what are you?
And the worst of it all is that you can't tell us.
Completely agree, Willie-T! Plus, I think once we go to heaven and start having discussions with God, we will find out that all of us were wrong on some/many aspects of scripture. Even the big-wigs here on earth: Alistar Begg, Tim Keller, Wayne Grudem, John McArthur, Os Chambers, NT Wright... will realize they preached falsehoods from the platform. (Love to listen to these people, BTW)
And if, once there, we are not approaching God prostrate and with humility, will we be rebuked.

Hi Willie
You can openly express yourself here.
No problem.
Like on some forums I know where persons have to actually treat each other with respect.
Such forums DO exist.
Here, anything goes.
Like two posters speaking about persons as if they wouldn't know it.
This is called gossiping and Jesus had something to say about his.
Like calling persons names because they present a biblical truth that is not accepted.
You know, like liars. If you don't agree you're a liar.
Out and out treating people in a mean manner and then expecting the person not to defend herself.
Ms. Magenta has done this to me.
She may not want to name names, but I personally have no problem with it.
As long as you tell the truth, you can say anything.
Yes. Her images are pretty. It's a shame her spirit does not match them.
SO,
Here's what I think about your question:
GOD IS A BIG GOD.
He CANNOT be put into a box. God will do what God will do.
God will be what God will be.
We're like little ants trying to undrstand a human being.
Can it be done? NO!
Some here on these threads believe they have God all figured out.
We don't.
We can only share what we know with love and kindness but even this is missing.
SO, you know where to find me for the future...
Love in Christ

I'll tell you what kind...
The kind that cannot be trusted.
It's easy to get along with your friends,
but Jesus said we are also to get along with our enemies, who apparently are those who do not agree with some doctrine or other.
I'd like to see less talk about the bible,
and more action.
That would be nice.
See you around somewhere or other...

In words. But not in action.
Hate spews out of you.
You should seek some kind of help.
Seriously.
Apparently Jesus is not enough to change your behavior...
M
I dunno but I am soooooooooooo ready for my new pain free body.. I can't even remember the last time I was totally without any pain.. creaks, cracks, moans, groans, twinges, etc..
Seriously, I'm hoping not to even make it to age 50. :/ I'll be prehistoric.. lol

I pray for a touch of the King in her life, that you will continue to stir her up and
draw Blue to yourself.
Lord strengthen her body, give her wisdom to know when to act and how and also
to know when to turn things over to you.
Amen
