Actually I did not post the verse in opposition to what @quietthinker posted but in support of it. He was I believe alluding to the same idea.

In God's eyes as I see it, there are only two choices: God's Way or our own way. Christ in us is God's Way!




So,.. then,.. what does that mean exactly?

And I agree with that. @April_Rose you are not Harry Potter, Magic tricks, Disney or Halloween. You are a child of God, righteous and Holy, a new creation. The closer you get to Christ, the less you will care what we think and the more you will care what God thinks. I was where you were at. I know what you are talking about. But if conviction arises, I would just say to listen to what God says about it. Not us, but Him and His Word.

It's okay. He's on my ignore list anyways. If he wasn't so gosh darned rude though he wouldn't be and I really wish I could take him off,.. but he's always mean to me. I sure would like to give him another chance as well though.
The issue is how you see A_R......as in a God who forgives when we earn it.....as in me being perceived as rude when I'm being direct. It appears to me you do not differentiate between between having a different view and not being liked. That is as much a fantasy as some of your threads.

Now, not to alienate you further yet in your own signature(s) you have 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.- mischief managed!..'
Do I take you serious or is it all a joke?

Okay, but you know what I meant and conviction has never come about. I might not be those things but that's what my interests are for entertainment. :D

Who is our leader sister? Who should our leader be? Without someone able to see and follow who is the Way of God or who knows the Way of God, we are dead!

"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem. 10:23

"O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!" Psalm 119:5

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Rom 8:1

If you give me a second chance, and I don't prove myself then I promise you that you'll be allowed to write me off as a friend forever.

April, this word "allowed" is not a very good word for this sentence.
Would you try to find another word or phrase that fits better, like

I promise you that (I will understand) if you write me off as a friend forever.

What do you think?
Was that what you meant?

Hugs

Sometimes we all have trouble finding the right words to fit.
Thank you for changing it
:)

Well,.. sometimes I just like to joke and I decided to take you off ignore for now. That's a quote from Harry Potter and I like to joke that I'm a troublemaker sometimes. :p

One thing you all have to understand though. I am who I am and I like Harry Potter, Disney, and Halloween. That's not changing. Now,.. can you all live with that? @TLHKAJ,.. I'm looking at you on this one. If I'm going to change it has to be a two way street of some give and take here. @Ziggy that means you too.

We are trying to understand. And you have to have patience with us too.
And we need patience for changes also.
So, we are looking at you too :)
One step at a time..

So tell how you would describe yourself. When someone asks you, "who are you?" What would you say?

I also love Jesus even though I don't share the same views as a lot of you who do. Just because I'm different doesn't mean that I'm different in that way.
Can I ask you..
This is a Bible Forum and we all come here to talk about Jesus.

What are your views about Jesus?
Thank You
Hugs

I love Him and I wouldn't be where I am in my life without Him. I wouldn't say that this is a Bible forum though,.. we discuss other things besides the Bible. I think you mean that it's a Christian forum. :)
