I love you too Ribbon.  I think I do understand....but don't want to.  If you can understand that.  You have always been an encouragement to me and loving...I have no words to express to you how much you have meant to me, even in our little bit of learning.  God has taught me much and is still teaching me so much  I hope we can continue to learn together, you are so much fun to learn with, you bring up many good points.  And....get rid of that coffee table for cryin out loud...seems like it's holding a lot of wonderful books captive.  :):):)

Isn't it very probable that many disagreements are over misunderstanding of what people say and reading into things what they were not intending?

And people are always going to have disagreement, Christian or non-Christian.  No two people come from the exact same walk of life, nor does God show each of us the exact same things.  Even scripture shows how God dealt with individual situations.  Because we are all individually unique and all have differing backgrounds, all are going to have disagreements over many things.  But all here believe in Christ...don't they?

Hi Watchman, God bless you!

To me, the forum is a discussion area. People won't always say what we hope they will say. I enjoy your discussions. I saw your online name, and I was wondering...Is watchman a watchman. You are. I think that's great.

One thing about true prophets, somebody's always mad at them. A false prophet, usually says what most people want to hear. The truth can be uncomfortable. I had this moment when some friends at church were mad at me for what I said. My response to the minister...If there's anyone else I can get mad at me this week, would you please let me know.

Jeremiah spent time in the slime pit. Our Lord received lashes I couldn't say what else. There's a period of time in there where the Bible is silent, but we know He was at the mercy of Roman soldiers. He was so marred people didn't want to look at Him. The true prophets were hunted down. That nasty woman named Jezebel, I think God has something special to say to her someday.

Don't let your feelings get so hurt. Be a little more thick skinned. Sometimes you say what you need to say and move on. Give people a chance to think about what you said. And don't try to cover every single thing about the subject. Pick a couple key points. If you have a teaching about the subject, put it in the blogs. I would love to read your teachings.

Love,

Mary

I don't understand it either , the way some adults treat other adults. Sometimes its like instead of being in a room with God fearing Christian adults, its like being in a middle school with a group of middle school bullies cornering someone with rude remarks  and spitting spit wads at the person because the person isn't liked by them.

Watchman,

 I haven't been following the forums lately and one reason is because of the things you mentioned above... but not entirely the only reason.  I am not saying I have been treated like you have been treated but just saying I have seen the way you have been seemingly deliberately ridiculed and haven't yet figured out why you are treated that way. Please know though that when I ,myself, read the stuff that you write about our God ... it helps me to stay focused on God instead of 'myself' and that is  good thing.  I love your teachings..  Please don't allow others whether it be here or wherever to cause you to ever stop being bold about the God you serve and love.for the Lord...... not saying you would.  My comment may seem corney and off the wall but I couldn't sleep and I decided to pop in here at aag and saw your blog post.  I love you and its great to see Christians putting God before personal feelings of their own self and I believe you are one of those that do that.
