LMAO is where I should leave it but I won't. ;) The rice being enough, what a beautiful antidote Gman. The lord provides so well for you doesn't he? I'm curious as you were so kind to share your bio with us all here, does Gman stand for Gods man or Guns man? :? You seem very righteous in you convictions that I'm thinking it could go either way. As you so kindly shared that you served in the War, one that killed many for the government, I'm wondering if that is where the G comes in at? Government, Gunsman, Godsman? Possibly G is for God as those who believe that they serve him shoot down many in his name with their misguided beliefs as well. You can see where it can be all too confusing for some. Pardon me for assuming too much here as I doubt you actually killed anyone while serving under a Gman (lets assume it stands for government man) but it looks like your still continuing to shoot people down. Doesn't the Government and Military fight for freedom? Speaking up and expressing yourself on a open forum seems so small in the scheme of things here wouldn't you agree? Hally expressed herself yet was told and I quote "There are people here that are in need of real help that I can set my value time for, rather than engage in petty and senseless airing out of misconceived or poorly thought out notions. In love, I caution you to no longer involve yourself in the needless endorsement, or support, or advocacy of baseless gossip. I expect this matter to be closed, but I am open to any offended party that can stand or fall for their cause, on their own merits, but let us not trouble others about such matters here." This sounds more like the government talking then God. Who knows? :? Man controls both parties so I could be wrong. What I do know is this. I value my time as well and God told me it would be best served speaking for him here. He resides in all of us at all times. He has no enemies only your misconceived notions about him do. You create this hate and prejudice and continue to plant the seed of separation between people with your superior beliefs that in actuality show how inferior you actually are. God does not need soldiers to fight for him, man does. Goes does not need a Gman to speak in his behalf in love as you state Gman. Love does not FEEL like this. I caution YOU Gman to FEEL before you speak. Listen to that feeling and set aside your superior self, that voice that says you are entitled cause you are serving him. Your serving your SELF when you act in this type of love. You need to knock that chip off your shoulder Gman and FEEL the message that God wants you to hear.

Oh Lauren!
You haven't understood at all!

I am so sorry that you have missed the message.

No one is trying to 'get anybody'.

It is about peace and love and forgiveness.


It is about how we are all so lost. And our Saviour is ready to bring that 'calm' that we all need so badly.

It is not about attacking and judging.

It is about understanding.

There is nothing to fight about.

I'm so sorry it is coming to this.

It is as simple as can be. But we make it so hard.

Jesus came to recocile us to God. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
There is no way to the Father except thur' Him.

For God so loved the World that He gave His only Begotten Son so that we would not perish.

Most children can understand the message. But we complicate it.

We don't have to hurl angry words at one another.
We just have to learn to love ourselves and then we can appreciate one another.

Christianity is the only religion based on love and forgiveness.
There is no superiority here or hate or pushing any idea on any other.
It is there if you can accept it.
If not you can just leave it.

No one is trying to harm any other.

Please be at peace and know that you are perfectuly safe here.

This forum is about shedding anxiety.
Let us not be anxious.

Repetitive rubbish. The bible quotes, preaching and on we go. The point wasn't missed on my part. I fully grasp it all, trust me.

Hi Lauren4s,

Why all the hate? Chill out. If you don't believe in God, and want to go to your death with hope of nothing thereafter, That's Fine, and okay with me. Where is your hope? Think about it for a few moments.

If you find the subject so deplorable and it set hateful attitude in you, why do you feel compelled to come visit and view what you seem to hate reading? What or who directed your here?

You have to be honest with yourself and deal with it. If you don't want any part of it; then don't take part. Don't you have control over your own actions? If your answers lead to more questions don't you feel you need an answer?

I wish you the best. If you have something that is troubling you start a thread in the appropriate forum and I am sure any or all of us will respond. We are here because of the one that sent us to be a comfort, consolation to you and an oasis where you can be refreshed and renewed. We are moved by compassion for those in need of support and encouragement, and I suppose we will continue to be here fully participating. Please don't hate for any apparent disagreements we may have. It is so not about hate or about anyone of us.

TC little sister in despair, we are all here to help not condemn or pick fights, but we will not run from any either. Okay?

Try to have a nice day, Don't worry. Be Happy!

Someone did start a topic in the appropriate thread and you more or less popped in and told her to zip the lip. Care to clarify Gman?

Please don not make assumptions about my faith. That would be a big mistake. ;)

Hi lauren4s,

1 Cor 4:3-5

4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. Defenders Notes >>

I have no problem with Halley. She was advocating for persons that would not stand for themselves. They were engaged in gossip, and it was a mistake for anyone to advocate for liars or baseless charges!

As for the scandalous assault on my character, I will leave that in His hands, and He shall provide the appropriate blessing or curse according to His judgment on this or any other matter.

I missed your earlier response, and I apologize for that. If you look into my profile you will see the thread link adequate to supply sufficient information, I could write a book of all my experiences and would be glad to share some with you. Or discuss them via telephone, if you can restrain yourself to engage in a civil discussion. No one on this forum, discusses all of their life experiences or put all in their profiles, so why would you place me under such a standard. That is not reasonable. Nevertheless, I have nothing to hide.

I served in the military when it was considered an unpopular war. I did not agree with the war, but I performed my duty of citizenship as it was at that time. In my military service, I face life threatening circumstances at least 5 times. I deplore violence, any place my trust in the lord, even though it is my 2 Amendment right to bear arms, I do not own any.

The battle rages as described @ Eph. 6:10-13. I do picture myself as depicted in the citation noted above. I am a soldier in His army and we march on our knees, not with guns, or literal swords. Can you understand the difference?

I don't know what chip you are talking about. I speak out boldly in defense of the faith, and you caution me about how I show love. Why don't you review all of my posts and see what you find what you need to support this baseless charge.

You accuse me of self center behavior. Please check some of my other thread posts. Praise you Lord, I am going to let this pass and let You handle it. Why don't you take some time, in study of the bible, and pray on this matter, and let the Holy spirit speak to your spirit, as I do everyday and almost every moment of my life, and perhaps you will have a different view of your comments.

I'll pray that it doesn't take you too long. I am still and I am listening. I probably have a lot more time to that than you, and it does take a lot of practice. I am sure that your emotional and ill-tempered, lacking self control outbursts, are just that and I forgive you now, so you don't have to sweat it later.

If you know bible accounts and recall good keywords to a reading, you can find citations here:

http://bible.oneplace.com/sear...ible&translation=niv

And use this on line bible to locate them. It's a much faster server than one place.

Take care and God Bless,

Lauren:
I had a peaceful, calm afternoon. I'd seen your reply to me.
I prayed for you several times over the course of the afternoon.
I will continue to pray that you find peace.

The others on this tread are my friends. I know they will be okay.

I'm so happy this forum is here. I needed a place like this.
And so many on here are my friends even tho' I haven't met any of them.

On the news this evening England's Tony Blair was at the spot where John the Baptest baptized Jesus all those centuries ago. You see, Lauren friend, the truth doesn't stay hidden.

I know you are going to be blessed sooner or later.

I'm happy that we had these few words together.
You are going to be okay.
I wish you much peace and yes, even joy.
MaryJane
