    Placing Things on God's Shoulders?

    Okay, please forgive me for going off-topic here for a moment, (especially since I feel this is more of a site-technical issue than anything pertaining to this topic...) but... one of the strangest things has just happened. I was typing up a thorough post to answer what you said, and clarify my...

    Placing Things on God's Shoulders?

    I think some of what I was trying to convey got a tad muddled and convoluted in it's meaning and what I was trying to get at, especially since I have a way of blurring multiple facets of my life together, even if I start out trying to focus on one point and then I end up being a bit vague, I...

    Placing Things on God's Shoulders?

    Hello, it has been quite a while since I've visited this forum, but I felt an urge to return because... well, there is a God-related topic I wanted to talk about with believers, although I'll admit I'm not sure if it belongs in this category because it's not specifically a Bible-related...

    You Reap What You Sow?

    One of the biggest things that irritates me in some ways is when some people seem to take great pride in doing things better and living by a better example than those who came before them.... yet they still seem to retain deep-rooted traces of the same behaviors themselves, and looking down...

    You Reap What You Sow?

    Honestly... another thing that has been coming to my attention more and more is... I don't know if this is a true thing for a LOT of people out there, or just some people, but.... I have noticed that, in my family (on both sides....) there have been a few individuals who've been... very...

    You Reap What You Sow?

    What you said here actually makes me wonder something.... do you think it's possible that, in some cases, if a person never had a good grounding/good example or basis in relationships when they were growing up, this could not only effect how they relate to other human beings, but also what they...

    Don't bide anything of the man, but only in Christ and His Word.

    I'm not entirely sure, but... I think it is very possible that God wanted me to see this today and drew my eyes toward it. I mean.... for many years now, I've had a way of going to people with my problems.... and many of them would either keep giving faulty or ignorant advice that didn't fully...

    You Reap What You Sow?

    I'm not sure which category a topic like this would fit under, so I thought I'd try it here. ^^; It's just... well, something has been on my mind for several weeks now. I suppose the end result of my contemplations has lead to me thinking of that verse, but... I think it's also lead to me...

    A Topic of Responsibility

    A few months ago, I was told off by a former friend (who then terminated contact with me, probably the best thing for both of us) for various reasons, but... well, we were bad for each other's mental health anyway, and highly incompatible, plus we had genuinely grown apart. However, one of the...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    You know guys... after having a lot of discussions on this forum, and just some stuff going on in my life/routine over the last few months (particularly the last week or so) well... I feel like it's all lead to an epiphany of sorts. (Sometimes... I can think with a clearer head with I have a...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    Thank you... that has actually given me something to think about... and pray about, maybe more than you know. Honestly... I'm still not against telling you... can you try sending me a PM? Other people have been able to send me PMs, so maybe if you want to try starting a private convo with me...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    It's funny you should mention that, cuz I remember a Christian family member once telling me when I was younger that when God eventually makes a new Earth, there might be some areas where Eve would probably not DARE show her face to anyone, or it might be better for her to make herself scarce...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    The only thing I'll say for the moment is... what you said almost makes me wonder why Satan has done such a good job in shattering/damaging the morals and way of life in society, ever since a lot of people began to adopt and preach the message of "Be individual, live for yourself." It segments...

    Recovering from liking someone of a different belief structure?

    In some ways... you're not far off. But there are also some areas where... it's not that simple. You are right, I have always been pretty dependent on my parents, at least in some areas. And it would also seem I am experiencing a late adulthood, just due to various issues and circumstances...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    I'll be honest here and say that, just a few weeks ago, the ONLY thing I wanted to hear was anything that might lead to me getting to Norway (or any other place i've been starry-eyed about...) and anything that would lead to telling me that my fantasy narrative would become reality. Soooo a few...
