Special Love nd Thanks to GodsChild

Special Love nd Thanks to GodsChild
Because you laid aside our differences to share your love with me. You could have taken my surgery as an opportunity to be like Job's neighbors or feel vindicated, But you didn't and I cannot take offence.

Thanks
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

How's it going, Rhonda? I assume everything went well?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Your welcome,
I'm no ones enemy here and care about every one, my concern is real and I wouldn't dream of feeling vindicated, my Christian beliefs do not allow for that. I know that God will at times bring hardship on people and if you look the Bible over it's usually those who believe. Illness is a part of life and each of us should be concerned when a fellow human being is ill. Hoping for your complete recovery.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Yes, we may fight like cats and dogs over ideas but when the nitty gets down to the gritty, we are not enemies.

That was sweet and I am glad that you aren't-like someone else on this forum- suggesting that illness is just god's way of getting someone's attention. I suspect that most of the people we debate on this forum are probably pleasant in real life. We just disagree strongly on religion but we probably agree on other issues

You are correct that outside this forum many on the opposite sides could even be friends, I have friends who do not believe. There is a reason I do not believe that all illnesses that come to anyone isn't from God, the Bible teaches differently. Yes as I said before that some illnesses do come from God but I believe that those who believe receive most of them. I sincerely believe that God allows everyone's life runs it's coarse, unless it is necessary to intervene. God wants us to ask Him to be with them through our times of trials, He doesn't want to force himself upon us.

I think it's the nature of the forum as a medium of communication. In real life, people don't sit around debating. Christians don't come up to me off the street talking about the bible says this and the bible says that. In real lfe we're not focused on exchanging ideas through words. There's more opportunity to express our feelings and thoughts through actions.

Aw man, right now I was just wondering how GC and I can express friendship when Bobby Bue Bland came on my Windows player singing If you're gonna walk on my love the least you can do is take off your shoes.


Things like that keep happening to me. So no more steel toe, spike heals. I'll wear Dr. Scholl's.
