Good one, Mr. T! 😎👍

Thanks for your thoughts! I do identify with a lot of that. Especially the part about giving chaotic buttheads a chance, to the detriment of my own social standing 😂. Been accused of ulterior romantic motives a few times as well. 😑😒 And yet..... I'm losing count of the times some basic...

Oh definitely, anger is a characteristic of God and I think righteous anger/indignation is proper for Christians as well. Especially if it motivates us to protect or defend those who are vulnerable. 😎👍 Human wrath I have a harder time with because vengeance belongs to God and He sees all angles...

Great verse to ponder, miss Daisy! I appreciate you! 🤗

Lol ok, you distract 'em while I confuse 'em, together we will conquer the internets! 🤠 Seriously, maybe you're right. Still, in hindsight I felt like I came across as too conciliatory. When I saw the person go on to attack others who were legit bothered, I did get angry then. But at that point...

I agree, especially with the parts I singled out above. Christianity is not a spectator sport, but many modern churches treat it as such. As far as the solution goes, emphasis on the gifts and Spirit-enabled abilities of the entire congregation goes a long way. Some people don't witness...

Great thoughts! I would have to agree, the real culprit often isn't what we think it is. I think that can be the case for most (if not all) sins. I have found for myself that I tend to struggle with pride when my self-esteem is low. I think it's because my brain is over-compensating 😂...

Hey everyone! Posting this in singles because ya'll are chill 😎. A recent online interaction has me in an existential quandary. I was reading back over the interaction with no intention to reply or comment, simply wanting to process what had already been said. As I was reading I couldn't help...

Yeah... I was thinking about this more today, and I wonder if Sarah, Abigail, Esther, or Rahab felt "privileged". Sarah was given over to foreign men by her own husband. Abigail ended up married to a man she didn't respect, probably through a hefty dowry paid to her father. Then she had to...

I'm just waiting for @Texasgal to pop on and inform us that she ain't nice, and she certainly ain't no lady! 😜 In all seriousness, I wish Anthony the best according to God's will! He might enjoy the fellowship here regardless 🙂

OK, THIS part does strike me as a red flag 🚩. Of course, as always it would depend on the context. Maybe your guyfriend brought it up and asked to see a pic. But if not..... yeah that definitely sounds like conquest/trophy behavior. 😕

Totally! I'd consider it a MUCH bigger red flag if we couldn't have a mature, open discussion about the pics and how we both felt about them.

Hi miss Hope! Very interesting thread and very interesting responses! 😎👍 Given the context of what you said in the above quote, my first impression is that he brought it up to guage your reaction. The "unofficial" stage of a relationship can be confusing because there are feelings present but...

Girl, I hope you're not offended by me saying this..... your old church sounds a Lil whack. 😬😳 It's one thing to require marriage within the body of Christ (definitely biblical!), but to require it within the CONGREGATION sounds like the mark of a cult. Glad you escaped...er, "left" 😜 Regarding...

I used to worry about the state of the world a lot too, but then at some point I realized there wasn't anything I could do about it (other than pray). It's all going to end at some point, sooner or later. I also realized there IS something I can do about the state of my community, so I've been...

This is sound doctrinal truth, and anyone who disagrees clearly never grew up in close proximity to a redhead! They don't even have to steal the spotlight, people just immediately surrender it to them. @Smoke : interesting topic! I've been trying to figure out if I personally have anything to...

Just being friends with her is a great way to build trust without the pressure of a relationship. People talk about the dreaded "friend zone" and how hard it is to move a friendship on to something serious. But I've never seen it that way. If you can stick with her through this rough time of...

And dangit, THAT IS WHY YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT WE ARE SAYING BECAUSE YOU DO NOT EVEN REALIZE HOW YOU ARE COMING ACROSS IF I COULD SOMEHOW DRILL THAT THROUGH YOUR MASSIVELY THICK SKULL I COULD DIE HAPPY. 🙄😫😔😭😭

Dangit Thomas, QUIT MAKING ME LAUGH THAT IS NOT ALLOWED WHEN I'M ANNOYED WITH YOU UGGGGHHH!!! 😂 And for the record, @StillLiving4Him / Keepingthingsreal never said anything lewd or off-color in private conversation. The reasons I didn't want to talk privately had nothing whatsoever to do with...

Other than telling you that I wasn't comfortable continuing the private conversation you started, I don't recall any accusations on my part 🤔. But yes, I certainly believe that there are things about me that are not good. I think that's true for all of us. Part of our growth in Christ includes...
