1 | Forgiveness of What? | Acts 13:38 | LisaMarie | 23561 | ||
Wow! Excellent topic with many excellent points being made! Society has had such an awful impact on our "Christ Mind." Forgive, forget and LOVE! Modern psychology tells us that a thief can be rehabilitated but a pedophile cannot. Being "good Christians" would we leave a convicted pedophile with our child? I think that would be a very personal choice. I myself would not. "Lead me not into temptation." As for me, I need the reminders of my sins. I love them! They keep me from repeating the same stupid mistakes. I hug them to me and keep them close always. peace, lisa |

Personal Note .................................. Thanks for the compliments on the thread, and I agree with you that remembering the lessons that we learned from past sins can keep us from repeating them. I would encourage you to "hug" the truths that you learned, instead of the sins themselves though. God puts them as far as the East is from the West, and I'd recommend following His lead :) |

3 | Forgiveness of What? | Acts 13:38 | LisaMarie | 23587 | ||
What makes you think I don't hug the truths to me? I do! However, I'm to thick headed. I need the reminders. Interestingly enough, I'm just to a chapter in my bible study group about Love. Specifically obedient love of the Lord. Large chunk of it is on sin and the avoiding of it. I'll throw out a question and I'm sorry to hear you're leaving! I'll wait for your return! I had trouble with this: What blessings of obedience have you experienced in your life and in the lives of others? I know it's awful to answer a question with a question but - How can we know exactly WHY we receive a blessing? The only thing I could really think of was the time I was driven to give a semi-stranger (the girl who sells me coffee in the morning) a bible I had gotten as a free gift for joining a book club. My blessing would be the tremendous JOY I felt afterwards!!! Am I taking this too literally? Lisa |

Have you learned any doctrinal truths? Or do you operate solely on the basis of a touchy-feely, God is love, everything-is-beautiful vagueness? I can't help but wonder about one who apparently puts the Bible, the lost books, the apochrypha and their own feelings and opinions all on the same level, making no distinction but apparently giving equal weight to all of them. Do you go from one Christian forum to another mocking the beliefs of others? Just thought I'd ask. |

Well, my friend, it's nice that you spend time thinking about me. However, you have made a very misguided judgement about me. When have I mocked anyone's beliefs? To disagree is not to mock. I don't go from Christian forum to Christian forum. This is only my second forum. The first was all Catholic. I found them too judgemental. Many individuals thought they had all the answers and anyone who didn't see it their way was treated badly. Which is very unChristian. God IS Love. But if you'd read my posts within the "is God responsible for evil" thread, you'd know I don't believe everything is beautiful. Life is difficult and troubles abound. But tribulation is how our faith in the Lord is refined. Like gold is refined through fire. No worries, mate! You're not the first to be annoyed by my perkiness. Lisa |
