AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:1 ¶ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. |

Bible Note: Dear Flyman, I see from your profile you are recently divorced. I know that must have caused you much pain and distress. Divorce is considered a major crisis in a persons life. Sometimes as people who can take only so much pain we build walls around ourselves and shut others out as a protective measure. You are right only God can see the heart. If you will let down the walls you have built you will find there are some caring, loving christians here who love God's word and their fellow christians. Many have tried to reason with you and it seems you will not humble yourself and submit to them. Some of the things you propose are uncalled for. You have been warned by several posters. If you continue on this road you are in danger of losing your privilege to post here. I am telling you this because I sense behind your arguments there is a hurting person there. Please drop this issue for now. You have stated your position so its time to move on. Merry Christmas - Val |
