    Possible split in the Anglican church

    I'm not tossing this in to start a debate about whether or not a homosexual should/should not be confirmed as a bishop in the church, but rather your opinions on the possible realignment of the Anglican church as a result of the conflict. (I have interpreted this as discussions of a split of...

    Help please?

    Emerald, Prayer independent of actions may not be as effective (though I wouldn't be one to put God in such a box.) The important thing is to choose the right actions. Resorting to deceitful mind games would obviously be detrimental, since God doesn't play childish games that way - neither...

    at my wits end

    Faeriemom, I just finished a book called Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. My old college roommate sent it to me. My first reaction was that that kind of book isn't my style... but I was floored by it. It's all I can think about as I read through your situation in this post. I would...

    again, you're putting words in someone else's... :sigh: never mind. :rolleyes: Pointing out something I disagreed with here was more trouble than it was worth in this particular post, I guess, since it only served to offend you. My sincere apologies. You're right that this is about...

    :hug: Faeriemom - you must be hurting so much right now. I hope and pray that you will continue to trust God in this situation, for the sake of your marriage and your kids. I echo the following words and so hope they're true... Take good care of you and your kids right now... :hug:

    at my wits end

    Again, you're putting words in other people's mouths. I'm really sorry you were offended - that was never my intent at all, and I didn't mean anything malicious by it. When you suggested that RisingTree meant something other than what he actually said, you then related it to another man who...

    at my wits end

    Saying that a situation (like a marriage) has failed does not mean the same thing as calling a person a failure. That's not what RisingTree's words said. YOU are not a failure and it doesn't seem that anyone on this post feels that way. The damaged goods thing - obviously you have been hurt...

    Music in the Church

    This is exactly what I was saying in post #72 of this post, never responded to. I am still anxious to hear thoughts on it. I'm glad you brought it up again! :)

    Student May Wear Bush 'Terrorist' Shirt

    Sadly though, the real world is not black and white. Each of the issues that has been brought up here needs to be dealt with separately - not lumped together just because they all have to do with t-shirts, or students wearing something to challenge the status quo. Everything in the world...

    Eating Disorders

    Hi lostangel - there are a few people here who have voiced their experiences w/ having an ed. I've been caught up in it all pretty seriously for about 5 years. It can be very exhausting and, obviously, self-defeating. I understand what you're saying about the lies - sometimes having an ed...

    Finally Married!

    :pink: Yay! Exciting for you... I LOVED being able to tell people "I got married last week" and things like that - people get so excited and it's fun to have something so special to share. (We've already been married 2 years and I swear I feel like it was just yesterday. Cliché but true.)...

    My Wife won't forgive

    I am an elementary school teacher, and to my exasperation, tell my kids the same thing... what does that have to do with how a husband should treat his wife in the first place??

    My Wife won't forgive

    Gosh, Desi - this is really sad - do you really believe this (and therefore choose to ignore other applicable verses on the topic of how a husband should treat his wife) or are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? :confused:

    Music in the Church

    :confused: Not quite sure what you're trying to say here, but as far as I understand what you mean, that's actually not what happened at all. I wasn't focusing on the stupid quote, but the overall idea that was presented, i.e. in the opinion of some (myself obviously included) it's not an...

    Music in the Church

    ^^ Brilliant. :clap: That should stop this 'argument' in its tracks, hopefully. I'm actually a bit shocked to see that it's still going on. This was my point when I said (many many days ago) that it's pointless to keep arguing when those who believe that the CoC is the "one true church"...
