There seems to be many who are contemplating on leaving or taking a break from this site, I've noticed. It's understandable, too. I kept saying that I would leave or take a break for reasons that have almost driven me off the site even not long after signing up. With that in mind, I've come to the decision to at least take a break as well. Lately with real life situations that I either keep on hold or find to stress me out something bad, I probably should tend to them and own up to the mistakes I've made...there are plenty. I've come on here as the means to escape and I've found myself to spend a little too much time, to say the least. Especially after seeing some things on here that have upset me (some that shouldn't have but others have went out of line which I won't get into) I think it's time to call it quits.

Thank you to those who have reached out to me and I'm hoping to stay in contact with some. Many of you have been kind and it surely has not gone to waste. I've posted on here mainly since this has been the only section that I have been able to communicate and give small talk with and I guess I felt welcomed for it.

Take care.

when and if you do as yahweh father in heaven does, that is good.

He NEVER violates or goes against HIS WORD >>> (2 Corinthians) >>

We must warn you against entanglement with pagans

14-16 Don’t link up with unbelievers and try to work with them. What common interest can there be between goodness and evil? How can light and darkness share life together? How can there be harmony between Christ and the devil? What business can a believer have with an unbeliever? What common ground can idols hold with the temple of God? For we, remember, are ourselves living temples of the living God, as God has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be my people’.

17-18 Wherefore: ‘Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you’. ‘I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty’.
J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)


J. B. Phillips, "The New Testament in Modern English", 1962 edition by HarperCollins




I guess I will err on the side of love as I do not follow my friend around watching for him to commit a sin so I know that I should stay from him... By the way when was the last time you made a mistake? (sin) so I know when I should stay clear from you?
On occasion, Jesus hung out with tax collectors and prostitutes and was also accused of being a glutton and wine imbiber. He did all of the things that you said that He said that we should avoid. I also believe that Jesus loves us as we are too. At the moment of His betrayal He called Judas his friend. This was the only apostle that Jesus called friend.

I feel right now that I have failed God a little and then the question? How do I fix it or can I?

I promise I didn't go to church this morning thinking how can I offend my brothers and sisters and clear a study classroom but two people did leave and were possibly offended...God Please forgive me...

Topic got on the gay subject....I get so sick of people ranking sins and seems Christians are the worst at it...somehow lying is better than being gay....at any rate...

I just said I thought that all sins no matter what they are will keep you out of heaven and you would end up in hell. I also said I thought that everyone in the room had their pet sin and only they knew what it was and since I am overweight obviously gluttony would be one of my sins.... I said that what if the gay person fought with the choice of do I or do I not have sex with the same gender as I would have to fight making choices of do I or do I not eat the wrong kind of food?

To which one brother got up angry saying no offence to me but that it was an abomination to the Lord to which I replied it doesn't matter the sin as they will all keep you out of heaven...He left the room discussion voices no shouting at all...then another sister got offended by something to which I am not even sure why and she left the room....

Making me feel like a big fat failure with an Exodus taking place....mind you I don't understand or agree with the gay ideal and my friend who is gay knows I don't understand his preference or agree with it. But aren't we called to love all people? I mean am I not suppose to care about and love people who lie, commit adultery, steal and any other sin on the planet even though I don't agree with those choices either?

I do feel bad about this and have prayed about it already and even apologized to the brother who left the classroom but he just was not receptive at all....Failure is what I feel....How can you come home from church and feel bad? Well today I know that experience....But sin is still sin no matter what level anyone else puts on it....and God knows I meant no harm to anyone... Blond again opens mouth and inserts foot....
Yeah, Dar, I finally just concluded that I didn't fit with the Legalists. I have a friend (She's a preacher and an author) who says, "If you CAN be offended, you WILL be." And so many of that ilk can get offended about almost anything.

PS Our service starts at 10:30 tomorrow. 5000 10th st North. Come at least a half hour early for coffee and donuts. LOL :D

people rarely go to the last place they were hated but to the last place they were loved.
Our assistant pastor, Bobby Petrocelli, has a website called "10 seconds". On that site he has his favorite saying, "Love them, and they will come; judge them and they will run."

Hey Melita, I am hungry too. I was planning to go to a friends house to work on our business project and she had to postpone until Monday because her Mother In Law called and asked for her help today.

We'll leave a light on for you :). And you're not exclusive to the " made plenty of mistakes club". That would be all of us sis'. But the "owning up" thing ? That's a wonderful thing ... as well as the Godly thing to do :) ... (tips hat to a real lady) :)

Jesus Lives, you just can't live your life worrying about what other people think, or how they react. If you spoke quietly and in love, you have the right to express your opinion.

As for me, another beautiful day! Worked in the garden, got the second bed planted, one to go! I'm short on space, since I am going to be one bed short from my raised beds in my last house. I guess I have to adapt.

Sarah, we really have to stop meeting here in the middle of the night. Tonight, I am going to sleep through the night!

JustAnotherUser, come back when you are ready. And stay out of the dark threads on CC.
