    If

    If you had loved me, you would not have let me stew in my misery, confusion, and depression. A few lines would have cleared everything- but you did not love me. I do not mean to say you would have necessarily said “I love you and want you.” But if you loved me as a friend, you would have said...

    Pain

    I read where you posted that someone you love is causing you pain, and how you can stop loving the person. I do not know who you are referring to, if it is E., you need to talk to her and tell her those things that cause you pain. If it is me, you need to talk to me and tell me those things...

    Only One Love

    It is irritating to me that people can not understand the concept of loving only one person your whole life. Why is this so hard to understand? There are people who love only once. Once it is lost, the person can not love another. Sometimes, you just don’t get over it.

    What turns me away #3

    Thank you for your post. I think you must be very close to God. I have read many of your posts and they are full of wisdom and love. Thanks again, God bless you and yours this Thanksgiving.

    What turns me away #3

    The rich man is in Hades and Lazarus is in Paradise. Abraham says there is a gulf fixed so the people in Paradise who would go to the people in Hades are prevented from doing so, and vice versa. So if people would try to get people out of Hell, would it not be safe to say Jesus who is more...

    What turns me away #3

    I’ve read the Bible, many times. I am thinking about the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. The rich man begs Abraham to come to him, Abraham says he can’t as there is a gulf fixed between them. It sounds as though Abraham wanted to help. Would not Christ be more merciful? There is so much...

    What turns me away #3

    I mean that people who trust Jesus go to Heaven upon death. Those who don’t go to Hell, there, they repent and call to Jesus to come get them. I think Jesus would. Perhaps this is what happens. I do not mean people go to Heaven in their sins That is not what I meant. No one can go to Heaven...

    What turns me away #3

    What if Hell is temporary? And what if it is purgative in nature? And what if it is not meant to be humans’ final destination?

    No Business

    I had no business reaching out to you. I am very depressed and no good to anyone. You don’t have to try to help me. It is alright. I read the “no time for you” and I do not blame you. You spent enough time as it was. I do not want you to foot the bill- as in pay in heartache for my troubles...

    Jealousy

    I am so jealous. I want to do bodily damage to all the women you like, or perhaps love. It is so irrational. I have no claims on you. And, I want you happy. So why am I being so jealous?

    The Greatest Struggle

    Yes, I agree. I was happy for four beautiful days. And then destroyed it. I will never be happy again. Only, I am no angel.

    Book Club

    I thought the Lutheran guy, Firedragon, had some interesting things to say. It has been a while since I was in college, so I will endeavor to keep up. I don’t read a lot of philosophy or religion. The nonfiction I read is generally history. This does not mean I would not read it, I just...

    Book Club

    There were not many people there, and it felt kind of strange, like everyone was afraid to speak up, and get into a conversation. I was disappointed, I had pictured it like book clubs on tv with people elaborating about some literary topic. I kind of dropped the ball, and lost motivation since...

    Book Club

    I went to one meeting of a book club in our city, but not much came of it. Everyone made one comment, and that was that. There was no real conversation. Thank you for the link, I will have to check out the site. It was my fault the discussion about The Scarlet Letter quit half way through...

    Destroyer

    I guess I destroyed any lingering tender feelings for me. Any pity or compassion. It is what I do. It was inevitable. I have no friends or lovers. You are free. God bless you. I wish you a long and happy life, but most of all, I wish you will find someone to love. I think with me out of...

    Good reads is too confusing. Their format is strange to me. Thanks for your post.

    The Greatest Struggle

    Look, I make absolutely no bones about being screwed up- but that was before I was saved. Believe it or not, I was suicidal before I was saved. I fantasized about killing myself every day, many times a day. I did not know how close I was to killing myself until years later in college. I found...

    The Greatest Struggle

    He is only looking for a real Christian. I mean, as in actually walking the walk- not just talking the talk. It is alright, I am not angry at him.

    Book Club

    Does anyone know of any websites where people talk to each other about books? I am on Goodreads to inventory my books, but entirely too stupid to understand the social aspect of the site. I find it unwieldy. Thanks in advance to anyone who has any suggestions.

    Ironic

    Would it not be ironic if you were now a Christian, and I do not want a Christian? Then you’d be looking for a Christian wife who is a heck of a lot better than I am in all things Christian. I already let you go, I can not stop loving you. I choose not to- but I let go of any expectations. I...
