Thank you for this insightful response and it makes me happy to know I've been on your heart. I know that my motivation for finding and going to a good church shouldn't be just to meet other young people; I guess I didn't communicate that as accurately as I should have. I guess I was saying in...

I completely agree ~ there is definitely a struggle that exists for me. I can't pinpoint what it is, and I almost feel embarrassed for it. I see so clearly the reasons why I should leave, and I know it is what I want and what I need - I ask God each day: "You have given me this knowledge and...

Thank you dearly, @PennEd .

@Reformyourself wow...this feeling you're having is without a doubt the work of the Holy Spirit ~ this is amazing. I will pray for you to forgive. Forgiving can be one of the hardest things to do. I know you didn't ask for advice, but something I always tell myself when is struggle to forgive...

Oh my goodness, sister. First off, I praise God that He was able to heal you and help you recover from that. I can't imagine how painful and overwhelming that must have been...but look! You got through it, by the strength and grace of God. I will pray for your health. Second, I can see why going...

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ~ John 1:1 Scripture is God. It is Him in word form. You can know the Scriptures inside and out, and use them to develop a personal relationship with Jesus.

I understand that; but there is a difference between taking a man's word to explain God's ways and acknowledging that the entirety of the Scriptures exist to share with us the Truth. Apparently, my mind isn't processing this correctly. I don't read what Paul says and glorify him, I just take...

@Relic , I am not intellectualizing anything. It is Holy Scripture...that is meant to be listened to, obeyed, and LIVED. I am just really confused about where you are coming from. I am not trying to argue; I am actually trying to help you see that it is okay to listen to what Paul and the...

Keep pushing forward, @Brunny !! Don't forget that Christ told us in Matthew 11 that He is there for us: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (v. 28). I am not at all saying your intentions are wrong, but don't forget that a part of giving in the spirit of...

I do want to be sitting in the heart of God, and I pray every single day that the Lord helps me to do that. Just because someone takes what Paul, Peter, Timothy, John, etc. say seriously, does not mean that their feet are nailed the ground. It means that they are aware and in tune with the fact...

I agree with this, but that does not mean that we are to lessen the importance of the rest of Scripture and the standards upon which God has called us to live.

If I am being honest, I truly think this conversation is being blown out of proportion and complicated 1000 times more than it has to be. It is very, very simple, in my opinion. Some may disagree with me, and that is fine. Yes, it is a complex topic, but I think we are all digging a little too...

I have read the thread all the way through; I respect your opinion and not a single part of me is trying to attack you at all, but this comment especially is just giving me hints of pride. You do have the right to disagree with all of us on this thread, you are correct there. But, when it comes...

Just asking out of clarification: are you implying that the Gospels are/should be our main source of Law & Instruction, whereas the rest of Scripture should just be used for guidance and inspiration? I just want to understand your true thoughts on things...

Welcome Brunilda! Looking forward to fellowshipping with you. God bless...

I was in the same position as you, as a new member. I have been lonely for a while now and am so thankful the Lord helped me stumble upon this. It has truly made my days more blessed since I have been on here. Cannot wait to connect with you ~ Lord bless...

Hi Angel!! Welcome to CC ~ Can't wait to fellowship with ya! God bless...

Hi Corban!! Just out of curiosity, where are you from in Central Europe? I studied abroad in Austria a few years ago and the surrounding area was absolutely beautiful. Welcome to CC and I cannot wait to fellowship with you! Lord bless...
