Bible Note: "Land of Goshen" Did you wake up on the wrong side of the Forum, maybe in another universe? It seems you have gone off on the half of the world that doesn't agree with your jaundiced opinion. I would like to encourage to take maybe another minute of your precious time and study all of my posts and you'll see I don't make hasty judgments and I certainly don't take them lightly. In my post to EdB, I was giving praise where praise was due. I do agree with you, christian ladies displaying their bodies in such a matter so as to entice men to think lewd thoughts is certainly NOT what God prefers and I think EdB acknowledged as much in his post. However, apparently this lifestyle can be addicitive like drugs. So, I'm satisfied with the maturity that EdB has shown that he knows what he's doing with the souls of these young ladies. He understands the weight of such a burden and I'm certain he's in constant prayer about it all the time. My big question to you is What are you doing to eliminate this kind of sinful activity where you live? With an attitude in need of an adjustment like it is, I would suggest your moving to a big huge city where you can apply your skills and knowledge of God's Word and there I'm sure you'll be promptly humbled by God. I do hope this has been enlightening to you. Regardless, God bless. Do continue studying and praying on this matter and above all, pray for humility. When you post such a statement, please do the recipient a favor and be clear about what you're criticizing in their post. Please don't waste our time. Thanks and again, God bless. Rowdy |
