As soon as "religious doctrine" is involved I run a mile!o_O I hate legalism ...anyone who says " This is what I believe is true" Or -" this is what I believe God has shown me in my studies..." I am interested. As soon as it becomes:- " This is what this only is what this really means"...

Seems to me as I read along.... @bbyrd009 and @mjrhealth that in posts #186 and #187 you are both saying the same thing! Or am I wrong?

YES INDEED!! The dear sweet lady who mentored me when I was 22 taught that. She said " Whenever you finish doing whatever job is at hand...( cooking, bathing the kids etc) Just let your heart swing back to the "magnetic north." He has not moved..it is always us who move. And now...

Thank you for your kind and wise post. God is obviously working on me.. Great post... xxx

@bbyrd009 Is it possible to do what Daniel is asking?

Haha! If I had said the opposite you would have answered the opposite argument ....just for the fun of it!! :D

I just read this by Ann Voskamp ( who I always get blessed by) I seemed to hit the spot...I had once again.."forgotten JOY! " ...so in this in-between-time between Christmas and New Year’s you are trying so hard... deep breath here and remember - If you let something steal your Joy today...

I used to find it annoying...but I must say when reading your responses to Richard I am now finding it is easier to follow when you take one point at a time in a post...rather than one L O N G post answering all his points one by one.

Now that is true wisdom. If all the membership felt the same there wouldn't be as much friction on the Site. As you know...my own stand is always .."You don't have to believe the same as me..I am never ( usually :D) trying to change anyones mind on what they believe...." But I will then go...

@bbyrd009 you didn't comment on post #81

Well yes...when you say it like that!! lol :D But that said...they 'would' at least know what I meant...having grown up in our family.

But old habits die hard...I'd look a bit stupid at 75 and grey haired , saying to my grand daughter -" hey...do you want to 'hang-out' on Saturday? " LOL "wanna go shopping" is more my speed and what my grandkids would expect. I'm not one of their peers.

True words indeed...it's me who is the problem. What he is like to his family and the rest of us is between him and God. How I handle it all is up tp me. He's always unpleasant...must be a lonely place, because he is always right, never wrong....nothing is ever his fault...even when it is...

Jumping in here between you and Armadillo... :D As I have said before...there is no such thing as a Bloodless Crossless true believer. Well correction...believer yes, but believing-believer NO! :) ( ie one who understands true grace....grace in action with accountability ) just...

Agree...our old very first Pastor said the same thing...his phrase was- " my old staunch membership wouldn't like it, so I don't say anything to upset them." ( bought and paid for too scared to lose the congregation membership and the funds) So many are 'bought and paid for'....yet have good...

:D it is just a phase we used for people who have their own dialogue.. Each group has a language they use, even if not realising it! Much like in England there are different usage in north, south, and the many different counties ..colloquialisms are a distinct jargon used. So that's what I...

Good to see you posting again, does that mean you are now 'back' or is this just a one-off re grandson? Are you home now, or still at your friends place? Hmmmm you ask how my christmas went..well all I can say is...I am glad it went! It was not what I was looking forward to. Too many...

Again for me...grew up with it. Went to Sunday school at age 7 and learned the books of the bible by rote. Had a wonderful bible teacher who made everything so interesting. Learned all the bible characters. I didn't become a real believer until I was 22.. ( when I saw for the first time...

Haha! No, I didn't mean I am talking as the KJV writes..I meant the gap between the KJV-ites and the rest of the translations.. it doesn't literally sound KJV LOL I guess it is like a husband and wife of two different cultures.. My nephew is British...his wife Chinese. Since birth he has...

Amen Pia..Praise God. ✟ Agree, the media clip, mis-quote and change things to suit their own agendas and hype up a story. That's why I no longer ever listen to news stations any more. I am sure you are over the moon with happiness. :):)
