Understood. When I told her I’d move out, I thought we might be separated for some time but eventually reunite. (Her aunt has been separated for 40 years.) When she said, “I’m done,” I chalked that up to emotion (the woman scorned). When she couldn’t even wait for me to move out before filing...

Strawman. A virtuous person need not be sinless. Proverbs 26:15 Lazy people take food in their hand but don’t even lift it to their mouth.

I won’t take her back. It’s over. My friends predict this but properly identify that it’s not me that she’ll miss but the resources I provided. Emotional manipulation won’t be tolerated. I’ve already forgiven her but won’t entertain allowing a repeat betrayal. She chose to destroy the marriage...

I don't think that's his teaching. Correct me if I'm wrong @Episkopos but our role is akin to reaching out to a life preserver Jesus threw to us as we are drowning in the sea. Reaching out is hardly called "saving ourselves."

I think Jesus meant what he said. Be perfect is THE standard. It's not meant to be a standard humans can achieve on their own.

I’ve always believed in biorhythms and flowing with them is important. Rules for Christian Living - Romans 12:15 When others are happy, be happy with them, and when they are sad, be sad - applies to ourselves also! On another thread, I was severely criticized for saying the most like Christ we...

How about your journey in what brought you to embrace Atheism? Then you thoughts on the vid making the point that math proved God?

I think you and BD should start your own forum where only people who 100% agree with you on all doctrinal points can register as members.

Talk about a pregnant pause. What is this other thing? The subject of the thread. LOL

I’d love to hear your testimony. tsml

BD, this thread reveals more about you than @Episkopos. God so loved the world means all people. Your indoctrinated use of theologically charged words is, frankly, disgusting. You obsess over objecting to differences without a distinction. I doubt you are able to give a straight answer to this...

Jesus tells us to BE perfect, not walk in it.

<sigh> False teacher? Seems to me the focus of his teaching is different from orthodox rather than false. Years ago I recall a sermon where the pastor talked about our burden to reap the harvest, that we should get to heaven with many awaiting us as opposed to no one knowing us. At the time, my...

Apparently, neither did Jesus. In devotional reading yesterday, I came across John 8:40 NSRV but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. Language usage. “I heard from Person X” is not what person X says about...

^^ THIS encapsulates the entirety of life's experience without the Spirit of God dwelling in us. In May, my wife of 12 years emotionally abandoned the marriage. By the end of June, I told her I'll move out, that we'll physically separate since she's already emotionally separated. Her reply...

I was referring to Islamic terrorists, not the Deep State. Yet, you’re right; it applies, in part, to the Deep State. <sigh> A person forced to change their mind is of the same opinion still. Their deaths in Jihad is the point of their spiritual life. Your perspective is carnal; that their...

Thank you @Debp for assisting in getting this started … I hope in this thread @Mancunian and I can delve into the pros and cons of being an Atheist rather than a Christ follower. In another thread on proof of God’s existence, I mentioned 4 categories of proofs that were compelling to me and...

I couldn't find it even though I looked. I'll start one for us to delve into.

Be wary. Be very wary! LOL
