Re: Wow what a mess (edit)
Grace, lots of times people don't post anything here. This is nothing out of the ordinary. Most are out working. The only one I know that has more time to post here is Refreshed, and well, with what's gone on, it's not surprising to me that she isn't posting as much right now. As soon as I leave, she'll probably be back to posting more.
And I do plan on leaving, God willing.
Grace, just let all this go. One thing that gave me peace a long time ago in my life was to realize I can't change people's minds. But God can. And yes he does use us to talk to one another and help one another see truths. But there comes a point, where you have to give it a rest. I am not interested in changing my mind about this subject we are talking about. You are wasting your time to try to get me to. You can pray for me if you feel I am deceived on this matter, but at this point, I am done talking about it.
You are persistent, and I like that in a person. :) But this is going no where.
Love ya, but I don't think this is the place for me anymore. I think I have to go talk to some like minded friends for a little while before I go insane. :)
These types of disagreements and disconnects with people are part of the journey here. It's frustrating yes, but God will fix it all in His timing. We can find peace and rest in knowing that.
Paul and Barnabas, two Godly men, once great friends, got in a dispute one day, and went there separate ways. They both still continued to follow the Lord, yet as far as we know, they never talked again.
Christ is making all things new. I find so much peace and hope resting in that promise.
