I know I have posted about ICOC before but I am looking for answers. I hope most of you know my story with ICOC so I won't explain that again. I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about this church and what I should do about the lies I was told.
I posted a bunch of posts called "a mish mash of topics" outlining some of the stuff they said. I see now that a lot of what they said was rooted in Biblical truth but something about it still rubs me the wrong way. For example:
When they say "Emotions can stand in the way of listening well" they made it sound like ALL emotions are bad. They made it sound like we were not supposed to have emotions. I think I have gotten better at not believing this lie but I'm trying to find a way to support the other side of the argument. The side that's like "noooo emotions can be good." So any Bible verses would be helpful.
Here are the links to my mish mash threads in case you don't know what I'm talking about.

So I need Bible verses on
*emotions
*stress
*self-control
*who God is
I'll list the rest later. I have to get going to a family get-together. Thanks!
