Romans 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

I was so naive and gullible when I was young and I remember my dad and I sitting out on the front lawn watching the birds on the ground...he said if I put salt on their tail I could catch one....I ran in the house and got the salt shaker and spent 30 minutes trying to put salt on a birds tail...my dad had gone inside to hide his laughter as he watched from the window.
He finally came out and told me it was a joke...he realized I was determined and wouldn't quit until I caught one.....lol

And then mom curious as to why the salt shaker is empty has no clue. While daughter and daddy laugh to themselves quietly. lol

If you're close enough to salt a bird's tail you're close enough to catch them. My comments were metaphor. We're online. I can't salt her tail from here!

I like Skittles, says this small-d libertarian democrat.
Do you have some? lol
I'm not a very political person...do you have some?

I do. Just the regular flavor ones though because I'm fresh out of the sours.

Do you have a transporter?

Wasn't it Jesus who delivered and lead Israel from Egypt to the promised land? Wasn't that deliverance/journey a type of the great global/cosmic deliverance at the end of time?

 

[Brakelite]

Jesus loves us just the way we are

True. And in fact He loves us so much, He never leaves us as we are.

Wasn't it Jesus who raised the bar on the 10? Did not Jesus say the most important commandments are only 2, Love God, love your neighbor. If only these two things are obeyed, then we are sure to NOT break His commandments. The old was a shadow and pointed us to what sin is, yes? I will never live under the old "Jewish" Laws, we were never called to that. We are gentiles who follow Jesus final words and, the new covenant is just that, "new"

Good for you. I found the one PW is referring to in their OP. Ideally, PW should be contacted to return and informed the one to whom she refers in the OP is no longer a member. Their behavior in that thread is reprehensible. And worse? It is PW's own thread that they took over with their aggressive vulgar behavior. And she's leaving because of that! When it should be the other way around.

 

[lforrest]

WOW... I am actually SPEECHLESS at the moment. I DID fix the mis-understanding.... I apologized for it... and I corrected it...

I am sorry you feel that a mistake/misunderstanding was the last straw for you...

I live alone... and I live a very quiet life... I too find these forums very challenging and by what I have seen today... I am absolutely appalled at the lack of grace and mercy often found within these threads.

This reaction is way over the top in my estimation... but whatever!!!

This is sufficient for me, as no one can decide what another must say, and the additional context provided gets the message across that PW's quote does not endorse abortion.

It is sad to loose two members for no good reason.

But then again...

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Rom 8:28

What is God's purpose for each of them and for each of us and for this forum? God knows! Who is it that loves God? Will any who love God be led astray?

 

[WaterSong]

I agree it is sad to see two members leave due to the reprehensible behavior of one who is/may be the cause. It should be the other way around. The offender leaves and the people they attack can stay and feel safe.

Often we see people judge behaviors here they're speechless, etc... Appalled, whatever. The unfathomable part of that personality is, their behavior toward some they choose to pick on is exactly what they claim to be aghast over as displayed by others. What a world.

PW I'm sorry to hear that you have decided to leave this forum. Hopefully we will meet each other again on this side of the kingdom....

I've been on CB for over 2 1/2 years, and it's been quite an experience for me. Really, quite a challenge not being able to see who's who and who's posting what.

A little while ago, someone quoted one of my replies and made it look like I said a woman has a right to choose what to do with her own body as if I approve of abortion. SEVERAL TIMES, I asked the person to edit her post in order to clarify that the quote was "hers" and not mine. Instead, she argued with me about it. I'm very angry and sad that there are members who would do such a thing!!!!!!! Of course, they will say it was all innocent--like all the other malicious comments and threats aimed at me.

Even though the devil won this battle, he has not and will not win the war!!! In fact, he lost the war! Jesus crushed his head!

I'm leaving for many reasons, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

Good bye, all, and God bless!

I kinda didn't want to respond to this thread because I didn't want to believe it was true.

I hope you come back.

From where I sit , the site is bleeding red and has been for ages......so many many good, spiritually mature members have gone the very same way over the last 8 months. I understand why!
And we are left with ......what??

Sad days...
