We all are only voicing our opinions based upon what we know from life and experience. After I understood salvation and was saved I began deep study of Scripture and haven't stopped yet.. though I might have slowed somewhat. That was 7-1/2 years ago so I feel I have a solid grasp of the...

It's just in patterns of speech. I'm from Missouri, it's where I was born, but my parents were immigrants as was my ex-husband and pretty much everyone at the mosques I've attended. I held the English classes for the women at the mosque and another woman held the Arabic classes, although my...

I thought I should add as I've just reread my post here, that I'm only ending the discussion with Dino. I'm still interested in continuing on in discussion with @Katia

Just a small question, but did God not see us as sinners and give us a way out of that sin? Or did He simply condemn us and keep condemning us until we figured it all out by ourselves.... maybe?

Maybe you all are getting to the same place but from different angles? I'll be honest this thread has become confusing. We will be clothed in Christ's righteousness in heaven and not our own, and it's not our righteousness that saves us, salvation is by faith alone. But faith is never alone -...

I hope you don't mind my jumping in here. The most deeply personal thing there is just so happens to be faith. My husband is a night owl and I'm an early bird, and I love it because that gives me wonderful alone time with God. When I'm alone with God I can break down in tears of joyful...

To add to what I said above but when I say "guide" I mean add something that could potentially help with whatever the issue is going forward. God forgives us when we go to Him and ask. From there - we have to go forward but we have to also overcome whatever may have caused the situation that's...

Welcome to the forum. :) As far as what to do, maybe put your best foot forward and find a good church to attend.

Did the OP ask for one? She is asking advice and venting her frustration, and while we don't know her personally we are to be Scriptural in our conduct, especially with those most in need of a solid ground. Without ever once being confrontational we can flesh out the heart of the matter in...

I have read the entire discourse... my stance is unchangeable. The agree to disagree part wasn't because I don't enjoy discussion, but when discussion devolves it does no one any good to continue on, leastwise our souls and anything Godly and good to be gained ends. So I'm walking. Thanks...

You speak like a foreign born person..

Is this the singles forum? If so then I'm sorry, I just noted the music thread in new posts, didn't mean to intrude in singles fellowship..

I have my MP3 sorted according to activity... House cleaning is one group, artwork is another. The majority praises God in some way, because who can't help but be joyous and thankful in the little things? Even the music without lyrics is a song lifted to God in my heart...

Now there's some awesome doing housework music right there! Dance, sing and clean - woot woot! Hahaha (I'm weird I know!)

My husband was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains and when he sings (traditionally) it sends chills... there's something so beautiful and haunting in it - this is kind of what he sounds like, and the style he and his sisters sing: So I like bluegrass style with a leaning towards...

I don't think I've ever been paid a backhanded compliment much in my life, but I've been blessed with what is seen in our modern day with beauty. I think my biggest problem is not knowing how to deal with real compliments much... Those are the hardest ones to deal with. I don't normally run...

Christians do see chastisement as God teaching us important lessons we need to know. God is our Father, and like any good Father He chastens those He loves. As it is written: For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals...

You didn't grow up in the west then... Where are you originally from?

Yes I was being sarcastic, but it's based in truth from my point of view. Your mincing words instead of looking for the Spirit of those words. This was also a sin of the Pharisees and something to guard against doing ourselves. I do understand you believe this is what I'm doing myself however...
