Re: Wow what a mess
Grace, I am leaving here, so maybe that will ease thingss up a bit.
This statement I will address though before I go:
"But this needs to be a place of validation not a place of challenging things that are not overtly harmful".
I believe the things I have challenged here are extremely harmful, or else I wouldn't have challenged them.
Anyone is free to say the same thing back at me. I don't care, but I think it's important for us all to take a stand on what we believe. It won't always be peaceful doing that, but Jesus didn't come to bring peace to this world, so I guess it's not that important. Matthew 10:34
I understand this is a support forum, and I'm surprised the moderator hasn't kicked me off yet. But I also know I've been on this forum I guess a few years now, sometimes at times all by myself, and I guess I feel I have some right to say something about these things I feel are a very valid concern as I exit out and give way for whoever wants to put whatever they want on here.
As for non-christians looking in, this is what I always say: If they are looking for perfect people in Christianity for an inspiration to join in, it ain't gonna happen. The only way it's going to happen, is if they see a need for the only one perfect person that has ever walked this earth, Jesus Christ.
Grace, I am sorry you have had a discouraging time here at times, I really am. It's not all been so happy for me here either.
God bless you grace, and everyone here!
