    It's good to be single.

    Look into MBTI personality types. It's a personality assessment tool based on the theories of psychologist Carl Jung. Hasten to add, my identity is found in Christ, so the life which I now live is no longer framed by my personality type. And to answer your question - I'm an INFJ, which won't...

    Why would God create someone knowing

    You have nothing to apologise for. I have no issue with being questioned, confronted, or objected to. Reaching agreement in the truth is all that matters to me. I appreciate that forums ain't for the faint-hearted, I view this as a warm welcome! I get that, but we can't have our cake and eat...

    Why would God create someone knowing

    In that context, I don't disagree. There can be no independence from a sovereign God, only deception, the lie that such a thing actually exists or is attainable. Freedom would necessitate being free from bondage or servitude, which none of us are. We make a sole choice between good and evil...

    Why would God create someone knowing

    When we are slaves to sin, we are self-willed, self-determined, self-sufficient etc. By continuing to live for ourselves, we are choosing not to live for Him that died for all and rose again. That is an act of volation; an expression of free will. That's how a sinner can be a slave, bound by...

    It's good to be single.

    Bury the truth and it grows a giant. I appreciate anyone who calls a spade a spade, and doesn't use two words where one will do. I can somewhat relate to being misunderstood, because my personality is the rarest type for males, accounting for little more than 1% of the population. I expect...

    Why would God create someone knowing

    God's reasoning is a glorious demonstration of His sovereignty over all creation. He was not deterred from establishing His creation, despite foreknowing how the greater part of men, created in His image and likeness, would become so infatuated with the creation, they'd reject Him as their very...

    It's good to be single.

    If heartening women is something inherent to you, be sure to buoy up the men too, without partiality. Apples of gold in pictures of silver signify the certainty of the words of truth in us. And won't go unnoted by either sex. Either that, or double-down on your genius. :LOL:

    I’m seriously struggling with doubts

    Ask yourself this? How can a man pray for his friend to receive the Spirit of adoption, while harbouring the conflicting thought to turn his own back on the Lord of glory? You hope to see your friend come to the fullness of faith, because you know there is nothing or no one else Aiden can turn...

    It's good to be single.

    Word play aside, I was just offering an observation about a downside to being single, relating to ministration and the opposite sex. When we're caring and obliging, as brothers and sisters should be, some single women (and men) can get their purposes crossed. The brother who wants to see his...

    It's good to be single.

    I was. My reply drew a parallel to yours. Resorting to the use of a flamethrower to fend off unwanted attention, would be like trying to shoot your way in to life everlasting. I was just acknowledging your light hearted humour with a little of my own.

    It's good to be single.

    Easier for a single man's attention to be undivided in the things of the Kingdom, or so I thought. It can be excessively taxing to counsel and hearten any female who takes it as a given that a man is up for grabs for as long as he remains single. A source of trouble for sure; something marriage...
