I just don’t get it- I actually had a private message over my post- I have no angle, really, wrong is just wrong and I should defend against it. Can you maybe explain why my post irritated so?

I don’t get it- it’s like some read without context 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I maintain that I didn’t ‘sneak’ anything in and that I posted exactly what I meant to post- I felt a certain way at a certain time and described it the best I could- where is the foul? Please, take the time to read the posts before maligning someone else, especially if you are going to tag a Bible verse onto the end of your wagging finger.

That’s the one, right there. That and ‘God loves you’, that I just cannot ‘get’. I know it, I feel it, I even believe it to be true, but it flies out the window at the first sign of trouble- from outside or of my own making. This should be it’s own thread- “How do you ___________ God?” The blank is for the verb I am lacking at the moment… Is faith like standing against a wind that is gentle and then fierce, that kisses you and then hurls shrapnel?

Things are disappointingly awry over here and I am somewhat awash in it and myself. Only God knows what He’s up to- I’m clinging to the promise, or at least trying too😅 but it is very hard. He is very silent and I know I am very wrong so things seem very hopeless. Lots of verys😆.

It is hard to remember sometimes the years between verses in scripture. ‘Darkness’ may last years but it is not an indication of rejection- It is an indication of something moving in God’s will perhaps- but it is so hard to bear at times without fearing the worst. Very timely posts @Sower and @Marathoner

Anyone have a period where ‘God left you’ and you felt you were all alone? This of course is ridiculous. Right?

Interesting isn’t it? I kinda got censured on this forum for using the word ‘blank’ in this thread in place of a cuss word. I don’t think this is as cut and dried as some would say. It’s probably a heart issue that we need to work out on our own just like everything else in our faith

If it weren’t for Christians willing to get dirty with me I wouldn’t have ever believed.

I held my breath when I was eight years old standing at the top of the stairs so I could see what happened in the mirror. I indeed did pass out and fell onto a glass topped table and received nine stitches in my big dumb head.😂😂😂

I am also extremely ‘blanked’ up😂😂😂 And I don’t think that is reveling in past sin (or current sin). It is just my condition and I can’t seem to change it!

Thank you for saying that! I joined this forum because I need someone to be able to hear me out- how sad is that?

What’s a field camp?

So, you’re judging without judging? You’re like the morality police without the badge?

I got into a funk this past week and decided, ‘What the ‘blank’, I don’t care anymore and I’ll do and say whatever I want.’ Stupid, right? I felt stupid, too. But I didn’t necessarily feel like I was sinning, I just felt like I knew better and should shut the ‘blank’ up.

I’ve learned that too, it’s best to shut up and listen. But I always end up saying something…😂 What about swearing on this forum- is it permitted?
