No worries, Sister. God loves you and I love you :)

Thank God that I didn't have many, except pornography. I struggled with it for decades. That was one of my motivations for writing this OP. I am no longer addicted to it but only because of old age :)

Thanks for sharing, brother.

Luke 11: Jesus taught us to address the prayer directly to the Father. Is it wrong to pray to Archangel Michael? Right. In the Bible, there are no examples of praying to anyone except to God. Is it wrong to pray to the Holy Spirit? I think so. It's better to stick to the pattern/model in...

Matthew 13: Why not separate the weeds from the wheat? When young, They are not easy to distinguish. Their roots are intertwined. Pulling one affects the roots of the other. The process is disruptive to the soil condition. How does uprooting the weeds, which are the unbelievers, also uproot...

Romans 11: Cambridge Bible: The word "all" does not always mean everyone universally without exception. A few verses later: Another example of such a usage is in 2 Chronicles 12: In the NT, another example is Matthew 2: It is used to exaggerate the point. See also The Deliverer from Zion...

Proverbs 1: Fools would not listen to wisdom. The author painted a picture of Wisdom laughing at stubborn fools. On the other hand, Proverbs 17: As human beings, we should not mock the poor. It wasn't their fault. Prob 1 targeted the stubborn fools. Prob 17 was about the poor. They were two...
