    Waiting and best ways to deal with it?

    I never said it did.... The fact that there are many versions of the bible says that some may interpret some things slightly different. All the bibles written though have the same agenda, to lead them to the truth. No?

    Waiting and best ways to deal with it?

    Would it be out of line to realize that all the dictionaries that we have do not fully understand words that we use? Words are open to interpretation BUT, numbers are concrete....1 is 1 is 1 in ANY language. If I were to ask you what color my Avatar is, you may say it is green and I may say it...

    Who here has definitely found the love of there life?

    The bible is open to interpretation and I love a good debate. The word "find" synonms are treasure trove acquisition asset bargain boast bonanza catch gem jewel pride treasure good buy one in a million The last one is a good one. I am not saying you are wrong or I am right. Adam in Genesis...

    As a believer, what is your area of weakness?

    Psalm 139:14 says We are fearfully and wonderfully made Fearfully definition is: in an anxious manner; apprehensively. Makes me wonder if we always will be anxious..Not that anticipating things is bad but it can be a little uncomfortable, no?

    Sorry for the mistake. Not aimed at you....My only point was how the word sober can be misinterpreted in today's world....Some believe avoidance of substances makes the sober but if they hold their accomplishment in high regard, they are flirting by speaking as if they know it all and look down...

    Welcome Bob, I am new here too and it feels good to have brothers and sisters that desire to live as good Christians. I have only 1 friend in person who knows scripture well....I aspire to be able to reference exactly where the verse came from.

    As a believer, what is your area of weakness?

    My only thing I can add: Pride: is a tough one...I use to compete in sports and won a lot but failed to thank God for the talent he gave me. When people say God Bless you when you sneeze, say Thank you out loud but redirect it to God in your mind Lustful eyes: I believe that when we find the...

    Who here has definitely found the love of there life?

    How do you interpret Genesis then? There are many clues saying that there is someone for everyone Proverbs 18:22 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord. find implies you need to search. Also, 1 Corinthians 7:2 But since sexual immorality is occurring...

    Marks of a true convert

    John is the best area for new bible readers to start. The amazing part of reading the bible through time as we age is, words we thought we fully understood, seem to magically take on a deeper meaning when re-read as we build a closer relationship......Keep moving forward and watch the magic appear.

    the not kissing before marriage game

    In 2018 in USA, I respect any guy or girl who can resist not even kissing until marriage. Definitely a very rare diamond in the rough. Probably about 1-2% As for no sex before marriage? Probably about 10-15% Just pure guesses from a city living guy. Kissing the wrong ones, tells you which is...

    Waiting and best ways to deal with it?

    I agree....Only issue currently is, I grew up Catholic and now consider myself Christian....I wouldn't know which denomination to go to? Calling a Catholic priest Father is hard for me to do.....I refer God as Father.....Would it be ok to call a priest by his first name?

    Who here has definitely found the love of there life?

    I know so many people who make the claim in the present time but, as years pass on, they either where mistaken by their choice, seduced by external beauty or just weren't willing to wait for the right one. I am interested in hearing from people who have gone the distance. Stood the test of time...

    As a believer, what is your area of weakness?

    The way I deal with the difficulties of the road and road rage has taken A LOT of practice....I lin NYC Metro area and it happens daily...My biggest gripe is when we all come to a merge and it is right and fair for no car to follow the exact car they were following before the merge. If every one...

    Waiting and best ways to deal with it?

    Thanks.....Are you familiar with the term, "Dry Drunk"? Not calling you one but when someone said this actually exists, I was baffled. I assumed it to be someone who avoids chemicals and substances but judges others as if their avoidance makes them higher and more powerful.

    I SERIOUSLY contemplated this. I have a God given talent to cut hair like the young people of today like. Skin fades and shape-ups :) I even cut skin fade my own hair with mirrors that surround my head...Funny, I know. Would a church be interested in someone like me who is willing to dedicate...

    Thank you for your reply......It seems to always gett the best of me when I am idle...Whether attempting to fall asleep or, waiting for co-workers to begin a job. It even got the best of me when I was in college classes that lasted longer than 1 hour. I would lose focus and become anxious and...

    Help me with proper way to pray please?

    I am not fully sure of what needs to take place....I thank God every day for another day every morning and I almost feel like when I ask him for my desires, I feel like I am being selfish. I do sometimes pray that friends and family can find the holy spirit but, am I doing anything wrong?
