Why is that, that your life doesn't reflect that, you think? You don't lie to yourself and others, you say. Did you DIE to yourself?

Thank you, Magenta - and all the others who are interested. I'm in Germany and finding anyone who would say they are believers or Christians is like finding a unicorn. I would say, other then in the US it's not even a topic any more. People might "belong" to it (literally, it's in the...

Hello. I came to faith in Jesus Christ five years ago, already as a ‘mature’ adult and with a correspondingly worldly and chaotic past. Since then, I have repeatedly found it difficult to find genuine spiritual fellowship and honest connection. I believe in the authority of Scripture and want to...

Which do you use?

I think, concerning the big picture and the long run you are spot on. But maybe not as soon as you might think or Hollywood suggests. If you are in the real world and see how it is going with digitalization or automation - there is still A LOT of human guidance and interference needed. The...

Interesting topic. I'm not an early adaptor, I guess I maybe wouldn't have a smart phone, if I wouldn't have been gifted one. I stopped watching TV way before I understood what they were doing, because I didn't like this constant bombardement with repetition, the non-variety of topics that...

I'm giving you an update: After I heard, that this woman was interested in me, it worked in me. That's why I made this post. I was torn. I was intrigued by it, although I might not have noticed her, if I hadn't been made aware of that. After a while of struggle, we had some contact over...

Do you know someone with gifts?

That's a good one!

I doubt that very much :) Cross cultural relationship? I don't understand. This woman is from the same "culture" then I am.

I know, that Darby came up with it. Lately I got in contact with Brethren and I might join they're gatherings, because they seem to have very surgically precise Bible works. Maybe because they are deeper into it, they found this pre-tribulation rapture to be a possibility. I myself have BIG...

Add: And there are cultural differences what "friedship" is in anglo-saxon understanding or German. What English speaking people often call "friends" are "acquaintances" in Germany. Friends you open up to. This is seldom appropriate between a man and a woman.

But why? Getting to know her better and like her more? Being sad about no being able to be with her as a result? Getting tempted? Of course I did sort of that thing on the event we both took part in recently. And it was no problem. Until I got to know her liking me. I mean - there are...

I think, men and women can be friends. I don't think men and women can be friends, if they're attracted to one another. I don't think "matching" men and a women should be together alone, unsupervised, in any circumstance, in leasure time or without any appropriate reason. Let's ask: What would...
