I would also like to point out, that her family still likes my facebook posts, despite having blocked me on insta. so there's that added element of confusion. I finally just wound up unfriending what little ties we had left, reluctantly, at the advice of many. I did wind up watching their...

I would wholeheartedly disagree. What I would suggest is that her and I came from different worlds; her from the church; me from the secular world (until later in life). I would agree her spiritual knowledge and acumen would likely be superior; I would not agree on maturity. Spiritual and...

I really wish I could explain it to you, believe me, I do. I could try posting the pastor's emails (taking names out) to perhaps let you see for yourself. Maybe it's selfish to want to reconcile but I just honestly believe it's what the Bible says to do...at the same time knowing I can't make...

The girl in question and I talked online quite a bit. My only guess is she found this annoying.. .its really the only thing that makes sense..but it is a little confusing because she was always enthusiastic and energetic in her responses.

Advice should come from Scripture--I propose reconciliation based on the book of Matthew...but unfortunately I have never actually seen anybody apply this. I believe it is Steven Lawson or John MacArthur who says this is the most disobeyed Scripture in the Bible...but I digress. I do think...

Well maybe she thought the barely tolerable comment was the explanation...still...wasn't the nicest way of doing it, especially not talking to me directly. Honestly I just wish she would reach out and talk to me. I'd like to contact her and see if she is willing to talk...but these days I'm...

I had a pretty huge falling out with this girl--she was the pastor's daughter. the thing is, I'm not really sure what to think. We had been friends for 5 years or so and never had any issues that I was aware of. Then one day randomly she ignored me and her brother approached me and said I was...

My apologies, I thought it was based on the concept of "you don't have to stick around." In the case of Abram & Lot, the issue was not necessarily between believers...for one, they were Israelites, and also did not have Paul's notes on divisions, nor Christ's expounded teaching, such as Sermon...

2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the...

Could you provide the bible verse to this story? At first glance I would say that this argument is not consistent with the rest of Scripture, but I will reserve until read the passage you are referencing

context is everything in Scripture...context and consistency: The passage about shaking off the dust was written specifically to disciples regarding when they preach the Gospel to unbelievers: 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of...

As to your question: why would you want to maintain any interaction with them?" Because the Bible tells me to? To forgive and reconcile, blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called Sons of God? Let there be no divisions among you? Maybe this is just me but I find it absolutely...

To be fair...the youth pastor pressured me into the position...which is a separate issue from the main pastor's family. Separate people, separate issues. There's another story there but it has nothing to do with me or this story so probably isn't wise to bring it up.

My current pastor as in the pastor of the new Calvinist church I'm attending? Only briefly...he said, being that he doesn't know the other party and had only recently met me at the time we discussed...he didn't feel it wise to offer input as he doesn't know them. That seemed like a fair...

I really have no idea what the girl said or what her reasons were for what happened...maybe that's what is confusing me. idk if anything was slanderous bc I don't know what was said between the family.

lol... it's MLS...I'm actually a guy...so that would be weird for me.

It was sort of a mix...after the "barely tolerable" comment was made, I became depressed and overanalyzed everything, and came across the emotional abuse website...it said you could be arrested for emotional abuse of a minor...Nowadays I don't believe I did but at the time I convinced myself I...

I want to be careful here...because I don't want to make accusations against a leader...but I also don't know what to do or how to feel or what to think. Let me preface this by saying I wound up in a Calvinist church since then that I love so far...and teaches the Bible as best as they can, and...

just introducing myself; honestly just Wanted to get insight on a previous church hurt/situation but I'll make a separate post as it may not be appropriate in this forum. I think I just used the chat app but never realized there was a full site with forums lol...whoops.
