No worries, bless you as well! 😎 And to be clear, I'm not upset I'm just frustrated. But I totally get why people are annoyed @Burn1986 , he can be a real crackhead sometimes (no offense Burn, some of my best friends can be real crackheads! 😜). My issue is that anger towards God is an actual...

Hi Shittim, I don't know if your question was directed at me, but I would say I agree with your statement 👍. Our opinions don't influence reality, but hopefully reality influences our opinions. Opinions are a bit like shoes: Good to have, not always good to share.... and the wrong ones can...

Yeah, I've seen some of his previous posts and he's quite the character. But if you have judged his motives correctly, then aren't your responses playing directly into his hand? 😑 Anyway, I'm not trying to lead you to compunction. Of course you are free to have your opinions; I don't even...

We are not all built the same. I try not to say much when a member is asking about a porn or alcohol or drug addiction, because I have never struggled with those things. But I did ruin several years of my life being angry at God. If the OP was aiming for a "Let's all shake our fists at God"...

Not everyone has the same survival instincts as you. 🤨🙄 #stinkeye

My thoughts exactly. @Burn1986 can correct me if I'm wrong, but best I can tell that is what he was hoping for... advice and stories from people who had struggled with something similar and overcame it. The question might have been worded a little awkwardly but he seems to genuinely want to...

Hi Rayne, welcome to the site! 😎 It sounds like you are mad at Churchianity moreso than being mad at God. I've had my issues with church folks doing dumb stuff. Heck, I've even BEEN a church folk doing dumb stuff! Don't look to us because as humans we have an annoying tendency to disappoint in...

Hi Burn, I appreciate your honest question and I commend you for being plucky enough to ask it. 😎 I don't know what you are petitioning God for, but it's possible He hasn't answered the way you want because He knows it's not the best thing for you. I was mad at God for several years. And to...

Storytime again! 😊 I can only think of one experience I had with "tongues", but it was a good one: Was suddenly hit with an overwhelming burden to pray. When that happens a specific person or situation usually comes to mind, so that's what I pray for. But not this time...my mind was literally...

Oh I totally agree with you, I only offered to talk with him further on the grounds that he can be respectful. Despite his obvious immaturity, I do see someone who has interest in the word of God. And perhaps he has pastoral aspirations as well, since being told he's not currently qualified...

OK now we're getting somewhere! That's what I thought you meant but I wasnt sure. 😎 In my opinion the church in America is definitely experiencing that. Maybe because most of the high-profile "charismatic" "preachers" have run headlong after the prosperity gospel, which makes them appear more...

Hi PAC-fit, I am glad you are here on CC and as far so I know I generally agree with you. But I have a hard time figuring out what you are saying because your writing style is as if Yoda had a baby with Shakespear which was wet-nursed by Patrick Henry. It's not "bad" or "wrong" per se, just...

Hi JMH, I don't mind answering this if you are sure you are ready for a mature conversation. But that means both sides have to listen to each other and try to understand the others' point of view. It would mean no name-calling or petty insults, so If you disagree you need to communicate that...

Hey @Roughsoul1991 , any updates? Have you given your sermon yet? :)

Yeah.... it's interesting how this topic is often posted by a male who is young in the faith. They are happy to make a big huge deal about how their male-ness makes them more qualified than those "prideful daughters of Eve". I don't argue with them on that point because I respect their...

Thank you, I shall take that as a compliment :cool:. I truly do wish you the best and I think your heart is mostly in the right place. But you need to be careful with your "informing". You do not seem to have a gift for it. :censored: And yes I am leaving the thread, we're obviously not going...

On that point, I agree with you..... it doesn't seem like you are understanding what I am trying to tell you. Please do spend more time growing in Christ before you do too much "informing", though! ;)

If you are talking to me then yes I did post that scripture :giggle:. But why is it "teaching" when I do it, and "informing" when you do it? :unsure:

Why haven't you noticed by now that I haven't even argued against that point? :unsure:

How on Earth are you getting that conclusion from reading that passage? :unsure: Truly, and I am saying this in love and concern, you really do need to learn more before you go around trying to teach or correct others. Teachers will receive a greater judgement :censored:.
