So the kind of friend I want is not necessarily relatable but suitable for my heart's desire which I won't say.

the friend I'm talking about here in this thread is a friend but hardly there for me but when he is, he is pleaant, just to clarify.

there are definitely people I like and care about but they're not really my friend or suitable or relatable and I want that. Thanks for the prayers. I also see how Charles Stanley had experience/interaction with God so I have faith in Jesus Christ that He is able but just having being silent on...

I'd like prayer for me feeling lonely and not having any friend for over 5 years who has time for me everyday or not necessarily everyday but as much as I need a friend, online or real life friend or both especially eventually in real life and if online, preferably a single guy rather than a...

@1stCenturyLady, how come you didn't reply to my posts? I wanted to know your thoughts and insight/understanding against or for my views and understanding. Thanks a lot.

Sorry! One main point of mine was to say that I believe in faith accompanied by works making your faith complete and genuine faith as it talks about in the book of James and in Genesis where it says that Abraham's faith was made complete by what he did, so in saying that I had to also talk about...

Thank you @Lambano and @St. SteVen for your help and discussion, and it's nice having you here @quietthinker! lol...

No I don't feel he bothered me at all, except that He can never lift or build me up in Christ if he stays that way.

@quietthinker, I think illness is never a comfort, it's always the enemy. Being healthy is the comfortable one.

I think the most important thing then is to be a friend and share about God and be a follower/example of Jesus but if you notice yourself suffering consequences then you know the level of commitment you should be with your friend, something as Lambano talked about.

I think the way I worded it and what I said sounded ok though like I like and care about him but there's a distinction in my relationship with God and distance from their worldliness that I can't be a part of.

I don't know. I wouldn't even word it that way. I also said that I would like to be friends and hope to be but that I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that we can't be friends anymore. Maybe I just misunderstood in my learning the Word of God and got the wrong feeling but I think it was the Holy...

I learned that Christ came to restore humanity back to what it was intended to be, sinless and Godly.

I'll explain. I was just explaining what I believe is the meaning of that scripture in the book of I think Romans, that says we're saved by grace, not of works and that I think it means works of the law in the sense of our works prior to conversion. I am actually confused myself as now I have to...

Sorry I edited my post #15 above for clarification. Without any other believer giving me more insight on my thread topic, I can only have my own insight and conclusions and from online and cannot get any help or get any higher than my level of understanding right now if there is anything more I...

I can relate. I have an online 'acquaintance' (I call it now). We were 'friends' until I felt the Holy Spirit tell me I can't be friends anymore with someone who is in the world and not in the kingdom of God. I told that person who I have to call an acquaintance now rather than a friend that I...

So in scripture it says He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion on the day of Christ and it also says in the bible that we all fall short of the glory of God so that seems to mean that we won't be sinless until the day of Christ.

I don't think what I did happened behind your back because I informed you in your thread that I was going to get back to you on what I meant was my point and scripture reference in response to you. I can see this was a misunderstanding and I should've linked it in your thread. Sorry about that...

I don't want this to sound like I'm rude or looking down on someone aimlessly as I didn't know how to word it other than "stoop down" and I didn't want to write down what I was relating the experience to with the tone. What I really meant was that I had a friend who was more of a foolish vs...

we must not just because other people's opinion or advice is at times different than our own, ignore the other person as sometimes even our own opinion or advice is not the greatest but if someone's opinion or advice is always bad and has no merit or isn't knowledgeable or factual then we should...
