    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    This makes so much sense. Man, is dating hard with all the hidden little rules and exceptions! So I kind of did as you said, backed off, threw all my expectations off. There's still some hope in me tho. Luckily she has written to me quite a few times since. She also phoned me late at night...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    Thank you for this, it's very helpful to get some information from someone with personal experiences. I actually see it as an non issue at the movement, as I see past that and just see a wonderful woman who is doing her best. My challenges now is moving forward in the dating proces itself. I...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    You're right, I would call it dating, but it's still in the more unspoken parts. The letter I got from her, her asking to be together even though it was only one hour before I had to go on a travel, and she asked if we should go on a museum this Sunday. And the recent trip to the beach for a...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    Thank you very much. I wonder how she will react on my invitation for a real date, thus Sunday where she asked if we should go into town for a musical festival. Either way I'm thankful that such experiences even exist, whether it's a friendship or if it could be something more. I hope the latter...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    That's sounds very intelligent to me, thank you. That really offers a new perspective for me. She's actually doing every bit she can, to still find time with me and others. So thank you for making her seem even more wonderful. And I wonder how I could be so blind only a few days ago. So Thank...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    In contrast to my last comment of how I feel, which may or may not be premature, it's hard to distinguish for me, but having spend this day with her I feel more assured than ever, that I want to persue getting to know her, dating, finding out if she wants to even be in a relationship with me...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    Thank you for this, it really resonates with me. So we were at the beach today for a swim and cooked some dinner in the woods nearby, where she told me she had found her peace in God somehow, and started praying for his will to be done among other things. So that fear has totally vanished I...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    Thank you for this reminder, I am quite good at over-thinking. I also feel at some point one has to say something or step it up, but I may be wrong. I'm really not the most experienced in dating. But until these thoughts settle, which I feel they do to a higher degree with everyone's advice, I...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    Thanks for being honest in saying what must be said. My doubts is absolutely by struggling somewhere in completely surrendering to God and just trusting in him, and me wanting to take control. I very much feel the need to surrender, as I simply can't control life, thankfully so. So it's a...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    Yes I've heard. This is over a year past her covid, and perhaps I'm exaggerating something of which there are little issues involved. I sure hope so. Time will tell

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    I want to be 100% - which I'm not at the movement. So I will need to get a couple things in place and questions answered. I would say she is quite wise and curious as to what she should and shouldn't. Like taking rest, limiting the hours spend socializing, going for walks etc. It's gopd to know...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    A short sentence with a lot of profoundness. It actually do make my above statement of doubts vanish quite a bit. Her illness even brings us closer to together in a sense, as we talk about the hopes and comforts God brings to this broken world. Faith, hope and Love, love above all else. I will...

    Would you pursue and marry someone with chronic illness?

    Hi there, I've been dating a girl for a couple months that I've admired for many years. She is a kind soul, calm and very sweet. She's also very beautiful. But as we've been dating and got to know each other, it's become clear that she has chronic fatigue from having covid a few years ago. It...

    Doubts in Jesus as universal redemption

    Awesome, thank you. Will read those tomorrow morning. I'm also heading into Barfields Saving Appearances as an attempt to get a further grip on the change of thought. Perhaps that's a different field, but I like it so far

    Doubts in Jesus as universal redemption

    Well neither of us, I think, are as deep in our own understanding as to what a 'coherentist method' is, not me at least. But it gives me signs as to what I myself should take a look at. So thank you, will check out what these books are all about as well.

    Doubts in Jesus as universal redemption

    Would you recommend sources like Dominion by Holland? Showing how deeply imbeded Christianity is in our society and the way we feel, think and perceive the world? How what role would you ascribe these deciplines? By Epistemological Diversities, different way of interpreting and perceiving...

    Doubts in Jesus as universal redemption

    That sounds right, I'm kind of looking in the dark myself, asking questions I barely know the answers to myself. If you have nay recommadations to better understand the complexities of historical thought that's very welcome. Are we talking about hermeneutics, understanding the authors...

    Doubts in Jesus as universal redemption

    Do you have any sources in particular that you find convincing in regards to the historical truths? Which you perhaps find reasonable to build a case for Christianity and it's claims? Yeah Cold Case is probably more in the mainstream popular apologetics category.
