What is your problem? all you do is take the biscuit and I’ve had enough. I don’t want dating advice I wanted some kind Christians to offer some guidance. Clearly that was too much to ask.
I don't think Tourist was meaning to be insulting or anything btw. In either case, it's not unreasonable to not expect some things that feel like "barbs" when someone is considering a course of action that the word calls sinful.
Have you read what scripture has to say about it? Some things are hard to accept and we may need some clarification on precisely what is meant, where the line is, etc.
Nowhere in scripture are you going to find that it's alright...but you can find grace and forgiveness. Redemption and deliverance. You will NOT find a license to sin in grace, it is stated that this is not so.
I don't think anyone would condemn a struggle. Some are rougher than others. Some are in the background and can be deadly and others are "in our face" and everyone sees them and it is a lot easier for others to "have an opinion" and inappropriately call to question our sin/flesh. Other times it's entirely appropriate and correct, we just don't want to hear it.
What I mean by inappropriate is a sort of "gossipy", backbiting, pharisee like "calling someone out"...Perhaps some haven't ever had a time where they've done that, but there are times where I've straddled that line and crossed it.
I see some caring posts. Maybe start over and be a little clearer? Based off what I've read, there's not much more I can say. I will say that bad company corrupts good morals, so be mindful about who you keep company with. Has it hurt people's feelings when I stop hanging out with someone whose life went a direction I couldn't stand by? Yes, but that wasn't my intention. I did what I felt was right but a hard choice and it does cost something to pick up your cross.
