You have been told lies by false prophets... Simple as that.. If a message comes from God then you can be absolutely certain it will come to pass.. But in your case these messages did not come to pass therefore the source of these messages was not God... Now they could have been from the ones giving you the messages or they could have been coming from lying spirits that where in communication with those supposed prophets.. Either way the message was not from God..

I do believe in these days people can receive messages from God?? I have received messages from God so i am not about to state that others cannot receive such messages and share them with others.. But again we must consider that there are both false prophets who have deluded themselves into believing that their personal feelings or impressions come from God and they then deliver lies or they are being lead not by the Holy Spirit but evil spirits..

I am 52 years old and there is no way i want to start a family now... I would have to be a 62 year old man with a 10 year old son who wanted me to play ball with him.. If i had a 10 year old son i would want to have that son when i was 22 so i could play ball with him at 32 and we would have a great dad / son times.. I believe it has been a major mistake of modern western society to encourage people to delay starting their families for as long as they can.. More often then not people who delay it to the last minute end up missing out all together..

I agree with you. If you intend to have children it is best to have them early in life (21-25) so that you have the energy when is time to play catch or teach your daughter how to ride a bicycle. I was 24 when my daughter, only child, was born. For me, one was enough.

i grew up A/G, so Kim, i knows what you mean about the church culture. i don't know what other people have experienced, but i only know of what i have experienced, whether other people "speaking over me" or me receiving a message from the Lord for myself.

i was always that kid who was called out from the congregation to have prayer over me because God was going to use me in great ways. i would even go to the restroom when ministers started calling people to the front to avoid it. lol. but one time, when i thought the minister had started praying for others, i stepped out of the restroom to go to my seat, but the minister caught me lolol. i went to the front and people prayed for me. after service, the minister was talking to my mom, and the person said, "melita is going to be a teacher." in my head, i said, "haaaaaaaaaaaa! nuh uh! i'm gonna be an accountant."

some years later, as i got closer to the Lord, all of a sudden, i wanted to teach sunday school. i signed up the following year, and i taught for several years to teenagers. i remembered what the minister told me and was like, "well hot dog." lol.

my parents always told me, "just because people say this or that, wait until the Lord tells you Himself."

i guess when i was younger, i was skeptical of people. not saying i'm not today lol. but i heard in a sermon once, "if someone prophecies over you, it should be something God had already been telling you, and that word will be a confirmation of it." *shrugs*

as for me having a word for someone else, i pray and pray and pray to make sure it's from the Lord and not my own emotions. usually, if not always, God provides an opportunity for me to share that word with the individual, and the Holy Spirit lets me know "it's time."

i know my examples are not related to relationships, but... i still wanted to share cuz i can! lolololol

This is very true and it's something a lot of folks don't realize. That's why God made us most fertile in our younger years.

(I'm not saying that having a kid later in life is bad.... just that having it earlier is easier for a person because with youth usually comes the best level of energy and resilience that you will ever have, unless you are Chuck Norris :D)

You first need to understand what TRUTH is. Truth is a philosophical concept. Truth tends to be very subjective, as two or more people can examine the same facts, and come to completely different conclusions. Just like two or more can witness the same event, and have different retellings of it. Truth does not equal a fact, yet facts can lead to a truth, although the truth is only what it is to you. The word truth, gets misapplied often.

Well, one thing for sure I know what truth is....

JESUS is the Way, the TRUTH and the Life.

I think it would be better to look at the bible as fact, rather than truth.

But in reference to ugly's comments, well, he's called ugly.

Well I figure we've gotten along too well for too long, must be about time we had our first disagreement. :p

But since we've had that disagreement, I suppose we can agree on not letting it turn nasty and drawn out and personal and all that crap.

Well nuts. There goes the entertainment I was planning on for tonight. :p

If there is any certainty to that verse, the proper translation probably should have been Fact instead of truth.

And if you look at most definitions for the word fact, most likely all, the word true or truth wouldn't be found in nary one of them. Here is a screenshot of what Google provides.

Probably, but this is what’s written in scripture. Personally, I see the “fact” the same as “truth”.

I'm pretty sure I've told this before but here it is again.

My wife swears to this day that the moment she saw me sitting on a stool, at a party, that I had to be massively convinced to go, she thought "oh my God! that's my husband!"

Neither of us had ever been to that beach town before that meeting in 1990, and neither of us have been back since. That one and only day we were both there. She lived 75 miles west of me in Pa. I was in N.J.

Don't know if that qualifies as a prophetic vision or not, but it did come to pass.

BDF = Bible Discussion Forum. People argue a lot over in the BDF. That post of yours that I quoted sounded a lot like something you would read in the BDF.

I agree with you that prophecy still exists. And Ugly had no place calling you a wack job. But if somebody has dealt with a lot of "words from God" that weren't really from God, it is understandable if somebody wants nothing more to do with alleged prophecy. I can even understand Ugly deciding all modern prophecy is fake, though I certainly disagree with him about it.
