I agree,I have found some precious thoughts in books that had broken spines ( broken spirits),ripped or creased pages ( weary from battle), missing chapters ( no sense of direction), and either were well used then discarded (overzealous,took no time to keep the soul nourished) ( burnout) , or overlooked!
If we don't look for a treasure,it is certain we won't find one!

Leads you to the site or something in context of his post?
It's an activity that's better than some other things. Stay out of BDF and you won't have as much of an issue...
I've rarely felt "led" here but I think that has happened. It's sort of a "whatever your hand finds to do..." sort of thing for me.
I seem to have less and less energy to respond on the forums but stay off BDF and leave people to it? You have to develop some thick skin for that particular forum. It's irritating that I will grant and it is difficult to reconcile the disparity between believers...Note: disparity not discord. I'm not saying it "should" get heated, merely that there is necessarily a bit of angst with firmly held biblical beliefs especially ones that WE came up with and are in error about. Should be said with gentleness and love though to be sure.
Sometimes there is indeed a ruckus that needs moderation but I have seen them address things many times when things get out of hand for certain members. I agree with most all of their decisions and am impressed with their discernment...you just have to look pretty close.
What you/we do NOT see is the warnings that are given privately to individuals by mods, bear that in mind. There is a good bit that goes on behind the scenes that isn't practically (or appropriately in my view) able to be known.

Right! But you said we are all weird.
You know one time my Mother told me that when I was born I frightened her. So I asked her how that could be. She said that I was all blotchy and streaked with blood and had glazed eyes. So I laughed and said, "but Mother, all babies are born distressed." So She said, "No Son when you came out I shrank back in terror and the midwife asked me what was wrong. And I said to her in disbelief, "look at him". So I interjected and said "but Mother, that's OK - trying to make her feel better about having such a reaction to the sight of me." Then my Mother now less patiently said, "but Son you spoke in Hebrew and said, "listen woman I'll be all brushed up in an hour. Chill out". So I said "Oh Mother - now that's weird." Shalom brother.

Lol sorry bout this but it’s how
My head works when I see your posts
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”
Matthew 13:44-46 KJV
what pearls Of worth in our lords word

You are not pathetic, brother. At least I would NOT say you were as an insult. But your response to what I said on that passage was pathetic - because it was stubborn and needless. John was alive when Jesus came [back]. That is the point of what I was saying about that passage of Scripture. John died in his bed a few years later. Jesus spoke prophetically - He didn't speak vaguely. If you think about it you'll realise how that prophetic word of the Lord to Peter about John was fulfilled. Thats it.

I must disagree... The Word exemplifies God's perfect will despite our limitations.

I think I understand what you mean. The belittling doesn't bother me personally, and in fact, it amuses me. But on the flip-side, by Heart is broken as I see others being attacked. And more, my heart is also broken for those who do the belittling (and laugh as I defend). It boggles my mind that people think it is funny when others are being attacked. And so in this sense, my Heart is rarely rewarded because there are few moments when I see someone who is genuinely and effectively communicating with a sincere Heart.
I hope I understood you properly.

This happens nearly every day that I post. Just this morning someone began slinging dirt at me for no reason whatsoever. I'm beginning to believe that there are a vast number of folks here with serious mental instability issues. And if that's the case, I should back off and not push back as I do.
