• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

How Great our God is. How Awesome and powerful He is. How Wondrous he is to work His Will in so many people and how his Grace is magnificent. How he deserves so much more than I could possibly give. I thank Him for the beautiful gifts he gives and for being here for us always. Amen.

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? :p

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.

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.

If your church forgets this part of the Bible it is clear they pick and choose which parts they choose to follow and is probably a good sign to move on.

Prayers. :prayer: :prayer: :prayer:

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.

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.

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.

......................
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!"
Ham = :234: Ew.
:sad:

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.

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.

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? ^_^

I hear ya. The concept's so foreign to me though lol I'm just like "they don't...get...love? :scratch:". The love verses are the easiest for me to understand, if I should say so humbly.

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.

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.

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.

I hear ya. The concept's so foreign to me though lol I'm just like "they don't...get...love? :scratch:". The love verses are the easiest for me to understand, if I should say so humbly.

I know exactly what you mean. Perhaps God is leading you elsewhere. I don't know, that's for you and Him to talk about :angel:

It's true, I know it already it's true. Sigh.
