I didn't mean it as name calling. You called me childish, what's the difference? I see you keep trying to get the Admin involved. Hmmm, wonder why. If you believe in God, why in the world would a post such as this even remotely come close to offending you? Does anyone here mind if I don't respond to Craw anymore? I don't want to keep arguing. I just wanted to get a nice post started.
That COULD have been the end of discussion on our part.
Then why isn't it? Have a nice day.
Also, I would just like to add, that sometimes these posts offend someone (I'm just as guilty) because the reader doesn't really know what "tone" of voice it was meant to be. It's always been the same way in chat as well.

Once again if one is not interested in this post or forum.....one has the luxury to continue to move forward. This post was not designed or dedicated to every soul on this site....but to enlighten those that are interested. It wasn't put to be questioned, challenged, or insulted. If a post does not apply to someone by all means continue to find the one that touches your heart....not ones negative emotions. So many need to shake off the bitterness and stop the self pity attitudes. Get back to session 4 of the program and go into prayer.
Jim again you are doing a great Job! Perhaps one day people will discover the difference from sharing a fact and sharing ideas......ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS. It would be nice if all could love one another as or better yet respect one another as God so loves them.........

Thank you Jim! It was very enlightening to read all of your posts. I didn't have time to read all of the 1st one until now-well, I had time but I wanted to have a clearer head-I suffer with fibrofog and I have to read stuff a couple of times before I finally comprehend what I read! LOL I am just 51! Well, soon to be 52! So taking a break from a very busy day and decided to try and digest your 1st post-I was sorry to see the negative comments tho and my!the last time I checked there were a few posts but look what you started!LOL there are 3 pages now!
This is the perfect forum for your posts. One thing I heard alot growing up was-don't start conversations about politics or religion! LOL LOL LOL You sure got one going here. And by the way-you were posting what the facts were as you understood them-nobody had to accept what you had written-just read it and keep any neg comments to ourselves. But, Jim, you know it takes all kinds to make up God's world.
There was apost on here last week-a member asking what our thoughts on porn were-you might have read it? Prob did HUH? Seems the member was having some diff of opinion about it with her husband-so some of us posted what we thought-that was what she asked for-the next thing I know the subject was turned around-twisted-and compared and there was some lashing about Christians-I just quit posting to it-I didn't join the forum to argue. I haven't seen the member who posted the ? since the day she posted it-she could be on a diff time zone-etc. it was interesting how our answers to her were totally rearranged. I don't think so good most days-no I am not blonde! LOL LOL LOL wish I was! Anywho, hang in Jim-and thanks for your post about God.
All 4 HIM,
Always, Deb^J^
There will be times when the will of God
will not be abundantly clear to us.
During thoses occasions we are expected
to retain our faith and "wait on the Lord".

1. Jim never said craw you wanted to get anyone banned. He said you wanted this post banned.
2. This site belongs to StressCenter.com. For whatever reason, the catagory of Spirituality was put as one of the places people could post.
3. The discussion seemed very cordial throughout.
4. Malikye= Kp (anita) DMX (LuvG) and craw who i havent seen post here in a long, just happened to show up to disrupt this one!
5. Only if StressCenter.com decides to remove this particular catagory will people stop posting under it.
6. If someone else wants to post something under it under another religion, or beleif, thats no problem
7. So far Spiritualty forum is still here. And for quite awhile , many have posted basically what jim has only with thier own opionons.
8. Jim didnt post this before.. STEVEN did. last year. And your right the topic was closed.
10. So until StressCenter.com closes this one, people can still post on it.

Tara,
Jim NEVER said everyone should believe the way he does.
He was giving his facts as he knows them. He wasnt trying to influence anyone.
I have many catholic friends, im not catholic, but they love God , just as i do. Its certainly NOT anxiety producing, lol

Hi Jim.
I think you did a great job. People on this site are always asking biblical questions and we need people like you here to enlighten us and help us to think "out of the box". There are always going to be people who want to cause problems for you when you talk about GOD. Don't let them get to you, because as you can see, MOST of us love what you wrote.
Take care.

I enjoy this forum and it brings so much peace and gets my mind off myself and the challenges and helps me to focus on something more empowering. I see Lucinda even did it!!!!
"QUOTE"
THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD!! NOT sitting at your computer browsing the spirituality section of a anxiety and depression forum looking for a fight cause YOUR religion is more righteous then the next. It's so old, so tired."
I don't serve a religion....I serve a God that is alive and well and still healing and answering prayers. No one is looking for a fight...many non beleivers and different believers come in causing one. Its ok to agree to disagree but not to insult others...Thats wrong and the bible clearly states to pray for those who curse you...(Curse is something that has been an offense or just wrong doing)
Sorry but GOD DOES USE PEOPLE.....and animals. Have you read the bible as to where God even used a Donkey??? And the bible does clearly say to pray for one another....it doesn't say for specificly what! It just say's To DO So and to bless those that curse you. I'm sorry that honesty offends one. Nothing I wrote is provoking....again just honesty so I will continue to pray for and the attacks and the confusion will stop because God is not a God of confusion nor attacks. I am so happy that the thread and forum was used to inspire us of all faith of the beautiful blessings that there is in this world and to quit focusing on our challenges all the time and there is something even greater and more empowering.
Your doing fabulous Jim keep posting more threads. You are at the right forum and right website. Thank you for sharing all your testimonies. Blessings to all

Believer08, a correction needs to be made in regards to who created this forum, it wasn't the admins rather it was StressCenter.
Everyone, a debate is fine but don't go down the road of slamming each other for what he or she either believes in or doesn't. Otherwise this thread will be locked or removed by order of the people who created the forum in the first place, StressCenter.
Have a pleasant day and respect each others opinions.
