Hey, I need to clarify and I'm so sorry about this- The group above was started for anyone who wanted to ask questions about Jesus. It came about from a discussion in the middle of the thread, but was not intended to hijack this thread by any means-I'm really sorry about that. Complete miscommunication on my part. As far…

[/quote] Thank you for your welcome, that's very kind of you! :) I must say that I love your attitude and eloquence, this entire thread has been a wonderful read. Regardless of the religion one might believe in, the way you explain and answer every question with effort and grace is a beautiful way to bring others to God.…

It's an awesome story, you will love this woman!

[/quote] I'm a Muslim, not a Christian, so maybe not quite welcome here... And yet even I think this. :) [/quote] Come, join the group. I personally am from a family that is half Muslim, half Christian. If you've ever wanted to ask questions, we'd love to spend time with you. Even if you just want to sit back and watch-you…

Me: You bravely entered into this conversation asking questions. So my second question to you is "Why"? Bex: Do you mean why I asked these questions? I saw how you all believe that god could help you on this journey of your weight loss and I wondered how this could be, and it got me thinking about it all tbh. We can…

More quotes from Bex953172: I don't think he does heal a wounded heart as such, --->>>Read the book I mentioned above about Robert Sadler-it's so crazy good! maybe someone turning to God could change their life but have they not ultimately made that choice to look? ---->> That's just it, we aren't the ones changing our…

I have to say, I checked in late last night and I just started to cry. God You are so good! I also have to say the flag happiness is cracking me up a little bit :) Bex953172, I have to agree with these guys/gals in that there's no question the He is stirring up your heart. Not just you, but on every one of us who are in…

Morning! I am sorry, I have such a short amount of time this morning. I agree with 4homer in that this thread will get shut down. In light of that, I have created a group where we can continue the conversation. You all are invited- I have copy-pasted the entire conversation beginning where I asked Bex some questions. As…
-
Bex953172, I need to apologize in advance because I am really busy today through Thursday and I won't be around much to check in. I don't want to just abandon the conversation without asking you 2 questions in return though. I am a real person, with real problems. I am not particularly strong, or healthy, or exceedingly…

It's natural to feel the way that you do-I wouldn't expect you to feel differently than how you do. I've been pretty angry with Him a few times myself. In fact, if I were you-I'd tell him about it. He'll hear you. All of that doesn't mean my understanding of Him was right though. Our understanding is pretty small compared…
-
Oh sweetheart, I had a feeling we were heading in this sort of direction. I am so sorry you went through such a painful time. And I understand that it feels cruel and unjust and just utterly painful. And I get that you're trying to make sense out it. All I can tell you is that He knows. Matthew 10:29-31 says this about His…
-
[/quote] Yep I get that. It makes sense, he doesn't have any powers but he's personally asking God to bless me, so doing it on my behalf? --->>That should be how it works, all blessings come from God. Now whether or not your priest was asking God or thinks he has the power all on his own, I do not know. Now I've told you…
-
[/quote] Haha no you're not boring me! I live in the UK so I went bed at 1am that's why I didn't reply for a while lol! Erm as for priests, their connection with God? For example I went to a Christening once and I was pregnant and he blessed me and my unborn baby for good health etc. Like full on hands on side of my head…
-
I want to try and answer this for you, but each person may have a different experience when they come to Jesus. I think that is partially because He knows and loves each of us individually. One of the first ways I experienced Him was how he gave me understanding of the Bible. That sounds silly, but when I would try to read…
-
PS, I didn't mean for the thing about my friend to sound snarky at all, sorry about that. I just meant I totally understand why anyone reading this would doubt what I'm saying about her being healed-and that's totally ok.
-
Oh my goodness lol I'm still trying to answer your other question haha! You aren't kidding this stuff is deep! Yes, that is kind of what I am saying. He knows what He's doing even if I don't.
-
I feel your pain. Our dog is king of the house :sweat_smile: [/quote] YES!!!! BOSS dog! haha OK, so your questions are deep and I will do my best to do my best :smile: ---->>>Matthew 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all…
-
My husband and I are on our way out right now with the dog and will be back in a while-hang in there, I will come back and answer your questions. Thanks for your patience-the dog runs the house haha! she's all of three inches off the ground and 20 lbs tops-and if we break routine, we are in trouble :wink:
-
The very, very short answer to the first question is yes-though it deserves a far deeper answer than can be given here. As far as your second question goes, it's probably faster to list the things I do agree with then what I disagree with. Let me explain- By nature, we do not want what God wants. We are rebellious towards…

PS, add me! Trying to get back on this wagon and get the weight back off and get in tip top shape!

I'm not sure that Santa/God is a good comparison. Like a previous poster said it was my parents that told me something was real. Also, just because you believe something doesn't mean it's real (Santa) and obviously, he isn't real. But if at the age of 25 I thought Santa WAS real then you'd all think I'm deluded!! This is…

I do. I love the "report chart" as a visual reminder of where I'm at. It's a great reminder that weight loss is up and down, and that's just how it goes. Mine looks like a heart beat monitor-haha :) Having that visual reminder helps take the pressure off(For me at least), but also helps keep me excited about what I'm…

Way to go! you look amazing!!!

Ha! I was going to say I hate doing the dishes as much if not more than the cooking! Tin foil is your friend!!! And yes, totally agree it's gross-but it really has made life easier for us in the long run, so worth it! We keep recipes super easy here-usualy only around 5 ingredients. But just about everything has protein,…

I know this still involves cooking, but it may help. I cook chicken breast about once a month. I get a couple of flats and then I cut it into pre weighed 2 oz portions, toss it in a little olive oil, garlic and onion powder, and then bake it on sheet pans (450 degrees for about 20-30 minutes). Cool it overnight in the…

How wonderful! I'm really so happy for you, you look amazing. The power that comes with knowing you can do it is life changing in many ways, from building your self confidence to changing the way you think about everything you are and can do. I hope you have a brand new confidence in every area of your life. I hope you are…

Looking fab-u-lous!!! Way to go girl!

Love pine nuts! They taste even yummier if you toast them lightly :)
