Thanks, I hope you are better. It all seems reasonable. My health is not terrible, but the heart gives me trouble along with normal aging. Getting likes does make one feel better. I live in a wonderful place on a side of a mountain overlooking a river valley, but the weather often keeps me indoors and wanting to have a little interaction. Today, for example, it is snowing very heavily.

I'm sorry to hear you are unwell.
My M.E symptoms have disappeared now I believe I was healed, 16 years ago.

I am in the UK. It's sunny here, but very cold.

Yes the person in question had posted 18 or more laughing emoji's, I sarcastically wanted to thank him for bumping up my reaction score.

Why would you have been happy about the fact that he was mocking you?
Did you read his reply?

 

[Apple Sky]

I joined this forum because I was ill with M.E and couldn't get to church or even out much. At a time when much had been taken from me,

Sorry to hear about your illness, are you any better now ?

There was a time when I lost everything but the worse loss was losing my hubby.

I'll be prayng for you

God bless.

I wanted it to seem that I was happy but really I was so annoyed & what better way is there to make him think he'd done me a favour.
No I haven' seen his reply.

Much better, thank you.

It sounds awful - really.

God bless.

Ditto.

I can understand the sentiment but I'm afraid it didn't work. He thought your comment was gross.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with saying, "this is a deeply held belief of mine, and I don't appreciate you mocking it."
And while we're on the subject, I'm sorry if I've done that to you.
I don't, honestly, feel that your belief makes any sense and some of your arguments ARE contradictory. But even so mocking you, as a person, is not right.

I'm going to leave this thread now.
Honestly, I think it's all been said; all arguments repeated, disproved, done to death etc.
This is not a debate, it's become a "yes it does"/"no it doesn't" argument, and the bottom line is that it has nothing to do with salvation or our Christian lives.

Thanks, I'm okay and just need to be careful.

Oh, so we're all pagan now for knowing the earth is flat, well, I suppose it makes a change from being called retarded or stupid.

Just know you believe the account in Joshua 10 just as Moses, Abraham, David, John, Paul, Peter, etc... would have believed it. That on that day, God stopped the movement of the sun and moon over the earth.

 

[Strong in Him]

I hope to meet you again.

Thank you.
I'm only leaving this thread, though I may get drawn back in.

 

[Phil G]

I'm not but you are.

You’re inconsistent. You say to interpret one part of Joshua 10:12-14 literally and not another. And then you claim I’m not reading Scripture correctly because I don’t say the sun literally stopped.

 

[Apple Sky]

And then you claim I’m not reading Scripture correctly because I don’t say the sun literally stopped.

The earth does not move it is still & yes the sun did stop in the sky for a whole day until Joshua had won the battle.
Too deny these two thing is too argue with Scripture.

 

[Phil G]

No, the earth shook according to God’s Word. That’s movement, so the earth DOES move.

And the sun goes down, that is it sets. It does not run its circuit above us without setting.

To deny these two things is to argue with God’s Word.

You are being hypocritical.

 

[Apple Sky]

You are being hypocritical.

I'm being hypocritical, try looking in the mirror.

 

[Phil G]

I'm being hypocritical, try looking in the mirror.

No, take responsibility for your inconsistent claims about Scripture. You criticise us for not taking Joshua 10:12-14 literally when you do exactly the same thing.

Your mirror is cracked.

But people aren't taking Joshua 10:12-14 literally are they ?

 

[Phil G]

But people aren't taking Joshua 10:12-14 literally are they ?

But you are claiming you do, when you don't.

 

[David Lamb]

But people aren't taking Joshua 10:12-14 literally are they ?

The point being made, as I see it, is that you claim that words like: "So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped," are to be taken literally, but words like: "and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.", referring to delayed sunset, are not literal because, according to you, the sun does not really set, but only appears to do so.

 

[Phil G]

but words like: "and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.", referring to delayed sunset, are not literal because, according to you, the sun does not really set, but only appears to do so.

Which is called "phenomenological language", what "appears to be" rather than literal, which can be applied to the sun stopping in the sky also.
