Christians?

I'm not a Pastor. But I too, am a born again bible-believing christian—despite the fact that I'm very openminded, artistic, and sexually charged. Believe it or not, but there are a lot of christians on this website. I've ran into many on this forum.

ditto, bud.
 
I should clarify something - it would not be an abusive relationship now. My former husband became saved 5 years after I left him and IS much changed. I saw him take his coat off in winter and without hesitation give it to a homeless man who didn't have one. He's kind-hearted, loving and giving, in a street ministry for the down and out. He's now a pastor, caught up in Old Testament doctrine (Deut. 24:1-4) which states a man who has divorced his wife, cannot take her back - to do so would "defile the earth." Told you this is very complex.

God would never send me back into the abusive relationship He took me out of. I'm not clinging to an abusive relationship - I was hoping to have what God revealed, a loving relationship which was totally free of abuse. I only want the Lord's will - I need to know what He expects and wants from me.

Dear Janet,

I have read your posts in this thread. I am clergy, and Christian, and I want to share a few words.

First of all, we are all sinners, so to answer your question "am I a sinner?", the answer is, of course, "yes."

Second of all, you state several times you want to know what God's will is. God's will is not a program for robots. In my experience, God rarely tells people to do something exact or precise.

However, He does call us to love, to serve, to be humble, to be merciful, to use common sense. It seems you endeavor to do these things. Do not open yourself to occasions for being abused by men.

You know that no servant is greater than her master. Jesus served and was killed. He voluntarily suffered so that others would have forgiveness, healing and hope. No one who claims to follow Jesus can expect any better treatment. Life is not about getting what we want, the way we want or when we want it. As you well know, that is not reality.

As for your sexual appetite, really I don't think any of us has the right to tell you what to do about it. However, I will ask you, is what you do the best and wisest thing you can be doing to be bringing glory to God? Is it giving and sharing love, or begging for attention of whatever sort or an attempt to fill a need that sex cannot fulfill? You have to find the answers to those yourself.

Janet, remember that self-pity and despair are your worst enemies. They are a nasty trap. If you feel either of these, remind yourself of how precious you are in God's eyes, and loved, and forgiven.

For what it's worth, I have been through a lot of painful and cruel experiences in my life, abused by men and women. This life is a tough race.

Your story, and mine, are not all that different from anyone else's. We cannot control what happens to us, only how we respond.

Job was willing to glorify God in all circumstances. That is God's will for you, and for me. Do you accept it?

I hope my words, from a stranger, are helpful to you. Feel free to ask anything.

I am a sinner, and make mistakes. With God's help I can get up and start walking closer towards Him again and again. We cannot fathom His love for us.

Peace be with you.

P.S. I would like to know if you've read any books by Patricia Evans.
 
If it wasn't for Christians and every other stupid religion (by that I mean all of them), this world would be a much better place. I've been "studying" Christians for about 5 years and Christianity is the oddest religion, they think they know what is best for everyone when in reality, they don't know shit about shit. I agree with the statement that seeing visions is being Schizophrenic. People think that this "God" fellow can give them anything they want; NEWS FLASH! You won't get anything by pretending to talk to some figure that exists only in people's heads, you get stuff by busting your damn ass and working hard!

HEY WER25,
If she was looking for advice from people who really had nothing to
contribute in a positive manner I'm sure she would have asked you personally. I'm not sure where you got the idea that she doesn't work hard when she has been caring for a bedridden and disabled child for more years than you have been on this earth!
As it stands she was looking for rational,sane advice from folks who have had some kind of contact or experience with her religion. We get that you have lived a long life and have experienced all there is to know about "visions" the teaching of Christ and all the books it encompasses and we can also see that you have spent all of your twenty years reading teaching and studying the Christian philosophy hence your encyclopedic knowledge of "The Bible."
Might we asked where you attended university and got your degree?
I dare say it was an ivy league school right? :rolleyes:

Hey CB

Most likely at 20 he probably doesn't even have a degree.

He has been studying Christianity for 5 years. (since he was 15)

Well since The Great WER 25 has come to a conclusion about God it is time for the whole world to put away their Bibles and close every Church, Synagogue, Mosque and Temple and just "get stuff by busting your damn ass and working hard!" I'm willing to bet he already has an Ipod and a Nintendo.

Excuse me Wer25, your problem is at 20 years you are clueless as to how little you know about the world and life.
I will help you by explaining some things.
When someone barely out of diapers tells a 68 year old woman what is wrong with her and the way that she lives her life and a religion that has been around for 2000 years, he is dismissed as an ignorant fool.

And if you looked in the mirror you might see:
someone who "thinks they know what is best for everyone when in reality, they don't know shit about shit"
 
CB and PB: It seems to me that you two might do well to take a lesson from Janet about not judging and not being hateful toward non-believers.
 
Very much to the point, WER25 ... thanks. Sure enough, open the box marked 'Religion' and you find a can of worms inside, as this thread rather predictably proves.

Incidentally - Pitbull sounds appropriately named.

Not hateful
Admit to being judgmental - I guess I'm just not that good a Christian.

The point is some are posting their ignorant Christian hate in this thread.
They are attacking someone who has asked for help.
If they want to rant about Christianity - they can start their own thread and I probably wouldn't even both to comment.

When someone posts something rude, hurtful, hateful, uncalled for and ignorant, I will point that out.

The people who posted the negative comments failed to have respect for Janet's beliefs and respect for her as a person.
I have not attacked anyone's religious beliefs or attacked anyone for being a "non-believer".
Everyone is entitled and someone's religious belief is something I am not judgmental about.

I have judged that some here a guilty of gross intolerance and it seems you are defending those people and attacking we who are pointing it out.
 
I'm not attacking you. I'm just pointing out that if anyone is acting like a Christian here, it is Janet.

To the OP,
I think you could find some religious and peer guidance through a "women in spirit" group - you would find people to discuss this with that share a similar Christian worldview and not have to deal with douchebags shitting on your question or religion.

Incidentally - Pitbull sounds appropriately named.
Idk, Mandingo would also work. :shrug: :biggrin1:

IMHO - not appropriate for this thread

but thank you for the compliment however - not in his league
And the moniker does not work for another reason - I don't even have a tan.
 
So we've gone from her openly discussing her adult sons' penis stats to this. Heh, great.

Okay, I've reached my limit of Christian patience when casting my pearls before swine.

You must really be immature to be stuck on this. I was open - my children and I have open dialogues about *everything* - so sue me. I was worried about my middle son's penis because it was noticeably tiny when he was a baby/toddler, and his dad has a 4 1/2" penis. He told me his size because he's concerned about what women think about a guy in a flaccid state so we discussed it. He's a grower, not a shower. I have never *seen* his penis since he's been grown and I quit changing his diapers, bathing him as a young child.

Get over yourself. Why are you even here? :confused: Obviously you're not a Christian. You're not trying to help - you're only judging as an outsider with no knowledge or compassion. So, do you have anything *positive* to offer? Thought not.

Sorry, folks, I try my best to be Christian, but I *will* come to my own defense when I'm attacked. I really didn't need this in light of what I'm going through and attempting to figure out. Sorry.

Hey you are very sound Dolfette, I like your comments. I think to reduce this to a slinging mud match is very sad and pointless. Atheists or agnostics are welcome to call Christianity a load of shite, but are you the new thought police that says religion and belief in God is wrong and should be outlawed, it sure sounds like it...

That does not really follow the american constitution, it is closer to a dictatorship closer to a holacaust, oh dear it is a low level thought process with low aspirations. Freedom of speech and thought is paramount to both atheist and believer alike. Sure go figure the other is a fool if you must, but quantify your statement and rationalise your thought process.

Hey maybe believing in democracy is wrong, believing in free speech is wrong, believing in working your butt off to get somewhere is wrong. However maybe in the still quiet of your heart you must allow each person to be free to think for themselves and not to condemn them for thinking and believing for themselves or believing in another.

WER25 I am glad if you have thought it out for yourself and believe yourself that God is not there for you and does not exist and christians and believers of any faith are schizophrenic, that can be profound and useful for you. But allow each individual to be free to make their own decisions for themselves. Mockery is often born out of weakness and not strength. If you had the deductive prowess of Dolfette I would say well done, bravo you give humanists a good name.

Unfortunately your argument appears weak and dictitorial and contravenes the very belief at the heart of the american constitution.
 
Wait...you were worried about your 'toddler' son's penis size? ROFL. Okay, I'll step out of this thread, but keep in mind how incredibly creepy that is.

Also, this isn't a Christian forum, so you can't filter out non-believers. You should find a Christian Large Penis Support Group for that.

oh ffs!

micropenis. it's a medical condition that can be spotted at birth.
yes, doctors worry about the size of a newborn's dick.
and if your other son was much larger, you might worry.

and she's not filtering us out. the christians have not objected to my replies.
if someone starts a thread 'to the gay men here', about gay sex issues, do you wade in and hurl insults?
the only objections have been to people who saw the word 'christian' in the title and thought ''yay! a whipping boy!! i'm going to go post bitchy remarks about someone else's personal faith. i'm so big and clever!!''.

seriously, who is she hurting?

I actually think quite a few here have acted like Christians.

A goal of living a Christian life is treating our fellow man (or woman) with love and respect. That goal is not and should not be thought to be exclusively Christian.
Seems to me that many who have posted here have treated Janet in such a manner, including some who have identified themselves as atheist or as non-believers
