Oh man, I went in to Bible Discussions and spent the past 45 minutes reading through a few threads. I thought, I'd read through and get a feel for the 'climate' and then find a thread topic I thought I could actually bring something to and then post. But after 30 minutes, a head ache started to emerge. I took 2 minutes out, then dove back in. Head ache begins to surface again.

That is one confusing place, and some of the people there have me convinced that they from a completely different planet. From what I saw and read, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of love in the posts. How does one discuss the Bible and talk about God with out love? That confuses me.

I don't know, maybe I was never gifted to be the 'brains' in the body of Christ, but I can't look at scripture and pull each word apart in a logical sense, or argue that God truly exists based on my knowledge of scripture. When I pick up my Bible and read the Word, I hear a God crying out to His people in love and wanting, a wonderful Creator longing to be part of the lives of His creation. I read love letters that are an invitation to come to know and experience His love for ourselves. I can't even begin to think about God or scripture or my understandings and experiences of Him with out it being linked to relationship, emotions and/or love.

Yeah, I'm definitely not the brains.


Arlene what you just said proves to me that you understand the Bible well.

Yeah, some of the talk in the Bible Discussion forum makes the Bible Code stuff look like small-fry. Some messed up individuals on there. It does get heated at times but we have some good discussions. I need to learn to love God more with my heart, because presently I seem to love Him more with my mind.

I'm sorry, Tintin, I wasn't taking a swing at you. I think I liked one of your comments in Bible Discussions that directly addressed one very -interesting- individual. That was classic.

No need to apologise. I'm all good with you, mate. I felt I may have been a bit rude with that member but honestly, the nonsense that comes out in his posts - he mustn't be right in the head!

Yeah, shortly after liking your comment, he private messaged me some more baloney. At that, I started to get suspicious there was a troll in the midst.

Good morning everyone.

Last night was really hard on me. I got pushed to the max with being stressed out, then I remembered more stuff that NEEDED to be done. And I basically crashed. I was also extremely worried over things.
I mentally crashed haha

Thank God for a night's rest and how it can give you more strength.

Lord,
I thank you for giving taith the wisdom of appreciating rest and seeing your love through this. I pray that you will continue to release your strength over him and take away all worries from his heart. May you fill him up with your peace for your will for us is always good. I pray that you continue to lead him to refreshing meadows and flowing rivers. Thank you for your promises. Amen.



Sidenote: excited that I get a body massage today! I really need it... On the other hand I am now officially sick . :(

I think I scared the maintenance guy...he never came back. Now I've got moths all up in here.

I had a dream that my kids woke me up at 5:38 a.m. And so I started the coffee and changed diapers...and then I woke up for real, and it was 5:54 and so I started the coffee and changed diapers...

Maybe it is just taking longer to fix...

I hate it when that happens... You wake up and get up, start doing things and then you really wake up and have to do them again.
One time this happened, I actually did it twice before I really woke up...

That may have been a dream too. Sounds like Ground Hog day.

Diapers, ugh! That's one thing I don't miss, I do sometimes miss the baby toddler stages, but diapers, no thanks. Expensive and gross. I had a hard time potty training both of my kids. They just didn't like it. It was hard. Finally when they went to pre school it sort of forced them into it. Occasional accidents but it was much better.

What does age matter?
It's undeniable a large portion of American teens type in text speech, show low maturity levels, low education standards and weak morals. Ronnie, on the other hand, presents herself as a well spoken, mature, thoughtful and spiritual person in a manner not common for her age. Therefore it's easy to think 'she doesn't act her age', because she, quite literally, is not acting according to the typical standards set by her peers. Her behavior reflects what you would expect of someone older, based on general expectations. So iTores comment is entirely valid and understandable. Ronnie exceeds expectations for her age. So that's why, in this particular case, age matters.

Well the thing is,we get lots of people posing as young kids coming in here,who eventually get found out. The you have people like lil_christian who is 17 and has the wisdom of a 50 year old,but we all have known her for quite some time & know her to be a real person. I think I'm just paranoid. *goes back to putting on his hat fashioned from tin foil*
god is the true discern er of truth, and that is what we all are invited to trust in. And those that are fakes will be revealed in God's timing
oh what a tangled web one weaves when first sets out to deceive, and so we can rest in this fact
[h=3]Romans 14:4[/h]New International Version (NIV)

[SUP]4 [/SUP]Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

therefore I make no judgment and trust god to do God's job through his Children, seen God too many times be Faithful as God is, amazing

You'll have to be in the chat room sometime when I'm on camera! I promise I'm not posing,...I just don't like to be the typical teenager these days. Lol

I feel so special, coming back on here and seeing that I was talked about. And it wasn't even in a bad way!! Goodness, this is a new feeling. Lol
And out of the mouth of babes, truth more often comes out in shorter sentences than long ones, amazing
As a Child one day, as the conversation was about Evolution, coming from Apes
The Child said if that is true, why are apes not still turning into man?

LOL..yeah..no offense ronnie. I have been there in chat when you were on,but you weren't on cam though (at least that particular time) Well you certainly have let God do a great work in you at such a young age. I wish I had half the sense you do now when I was 17. :)
Known fact females mature faster than males, and that is not to be offensive it is what it is and if she is not and is faking it, it will come to be known and revealed. and we all will learn deeper, so let us not accuse, nor put our Faith one to another
Christ is the only mediator between God and man Brother, and we all are in unredeemed flesh and are all taught to judge, problem with that is we do by conjecture and get convinced what we think is true and it might not be, so stop and just trust God to reveal all the truth in God's timing please and stay humble, harmless as a dove.
Please. So Brother how are you?
