Wait....why?!somewhere, Chuck77's eyes just popped open wide, and he sensed a disturbance in the force.
What's wrong with ham? It was black forest ham....yum yum. Oh....you don't like ham.
Have you somehow missed his sandwich obsession? Also it can be assumed you made the sandwich- also you're female. I'm missing the part where the math here is complicated?Wait....why?!

I could use prayers my internet doesn't get shut off. That would really, really, really suck.
Also could use prayers about fellowship irl. Posted a thread ages ago on here about it... still hasn't happened. Would like my old church to accept me back but they're being judgmental"all are welcome" sign in the front, but openly tells me they don't want me coming to services until a "reconciliation process" ensues. I'm like wt heck... but they're my home church and no other church I feel connected with. I feel fiercely loyal to my home one...even with their stupid need for a "process" to ensue.

oh trust me, I've quoted scripture to them already, not that exact one but yeah. They're being wishy washy with scripture it seems, I came back saying I repent, and they should have forgiven me. 7 times 70 they should have forgiven me. I mean, it wasn't even them that I offended with my past actions! Ridiculous.Simply mention Luke 15: 11-32
When one that was lost returns. They are not to be met with ridicule and judgement. It is a time of celebration as one more soul chose Jesus instead of separation from Him.
Thank you. I love them though, is the issue. Like deeply, like a lot. But I suppose this might be God's way of redirecting me to a new church... what you and Toro are saying makes sense. They should have been the first ones to welcome me with open arms when I got out of jail.Prayers.
That isn't a church then, but a social gathering for their "elect". My dad and I left our church from the same circumstances. Remember the parable of the Prodigal Son? That's how Jesus is with His children who rebel and come back realizing they can't get by on their own. That's how the church should be, too.

Ham =Ew.
"Don't like" or Hate ham is an understatement.
I LOATHE it..... if it were a ring it would be my not precious.... we loathes it we does. Filthy hamzisiz......

@Toro , @Miss Spaulding - Back me up, here.......................
No, I haven't missed it but didn't think it was that big of a deal. It's not like he's going to suddenly show up at my house and demand. "Fix me a sandwich, Woman!"
I hear ya. The concept's so foreign to me though lol I'm just like "they don't...get...love?You are spot on with what scripture says. They are the ones that truly aren't "there" yet and don't seem to "get it" yet. I used to be one of those types until God knew the very day I'd be ready and opened my eyes to really see what's going on in this world and within my own self. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're bad people, they just don't ... "get it" yet. Know what I mean?

If they hold it against you.... my advice is to move on.
1 of 2 things would happen.
1) They accept you back after you walk on coals and jump through hoops. (That is not the forgiveness Jesus talked about. Even worse that THEY were not even wronged in their unforgiveness. So you MUST ask, if they do not follow forgiveness of others as we are forgiven........ what are they following.) After you jump through those hoops you become just as judgemental and unforgiving as their group mentality.
2) You are never forgiven by them and are always made to feel guilty for your past until they drag you along so long and you walk away from the faith completely.
