Did you miss where I never said anything about a command? I quoted scripture to correct your statement. Rather than accepting it you your morphed responses to get around it, and failed. Now you're trying to accuse me of things I never said nor implied. I simply stated that, using the given...

8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.

For me scented or strong chemical things, candles, air fresheners, lysol, etc... and if they were to wash my clothes I'd need scent free soap, so far there's only one brand I've found that doesn't bother me. Wearing perfume is another. Smaller things like hand soap are fine. Being near these...

I Cor 7:8-9 (chapter is labeled "concerning married life") 8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Yes. Jesus himself never married. And as pointed out about Paul, who wrote much of the New Teatament, was not married. And he discouraged marriage except for those who struggle sexually. Trying searching 'marriage Bible Paul'.

As pointed out above, this thread is from 2009, so your answer is a little late.

I have suffered bad anxiety in the past, and it still pops its head up sometimes. So I know that feeling well. Sometimes anxiety has a core issue, often one we hide ourselves from. And sometimes it's just the pressure of life becomes overwhelming or we place an excessive amount of weight on...

OP messaged me just to tell me he put me on ignore. Takes some ego to think people are really that concerned. ❄️

People are free to make their own decisions. We can see people making truly bad choices and attempt to intervene, but there's no guarantees. You are not responsible for what they chose. And with you having your own struggles it puts you in less of a place to help, at the moment. That's the...

Your best bet is to participate in the forums and find friends that naturally happen. Asking for just anyone to befriend you isn't likely to work well, and may make it more likely someone with questionable motives to respond. So stick around and join in.

You're about 15 years late to respond. This post is from 2009 and the OP no longer a member. Going beyond a page or two usually means bringing up old, dead threads and most of the time the people writing them are no longer members. Good to stick to the first two pages of any subforum.

Well I'm just a user, not my call. But as the second higgest ranking person on the site stated, no changes. They've been set at this time for over 10 years. Not fair to have to delete others posts. And also a lot of work to figure out which posts need deleted. Also you have to consider...

There is another way. Don't rush meeting anyone. Wait for something to happen naturally. In fact it may be too soon to even try. Finding other ways to begin growing past it would be more important, meeting someone too soon would likely not work. And if you do eventually meet someone, don't rush...

Two reasons. One, it prevents trolls from deleting posts, which would make it harder to catch them, the main reason. Two, it prevents people from changing their posts in ways that may throw off the flow of a thread. For example if you respond to a post and later that person drastically edits...

Well I fit the bill. As far as growth since the age of 22 (im 48 now) I'd say for sure, in many ways. Mentally I've learned to handle my depression better. I used to always dwell in a dark mindset, but over the years I've managed to come out of the depths. I'm still depressed, and it still...

This refers to the ease of getting into hell. Meaning it's an easy path to take. The narrow path means that not many will make a genuine choice to accept Jesus and truly live for him. Consider all the different religions of the world, many promising some sort of ascendancy or heaven, if you do...

In the bible there was a man named Saul. He was a very religious man, but not holy. As Christianity began to spread he hatred to see it happen. So he decided to end it completely. He took off and began killing Christians (I'm sure he wasn't alone, but was definitely the leader). His goal was to...

Aren't the children adults at this point? Capable of deciding for themselves? The issue with situations like this is only hearing one side of things. It's possible that you're a genuine victim of someone who is unstable, at best. It's also possible you were the reason they left to begin with...

There was a live chat. It's not been kept up in years. There's no official download links and the last link ever available was temperamental. Some got it working, some didn't. No one knows why it seems to have been abandoned or if there's plans to fix it.
