Good for you killxherxoff! I know it was hard for you. None of us can
take this walk for you, but I will pray for God to give you strength and
for his Word to light the path before your feet.

Matthew 7:7-11
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and
it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who
seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is
there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being
evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will
your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"
--------------------------------------------------------------

The above scripture isn't talking of things of this world, it is
speaking of spiritual gifts. God will give you wisdom and the strength
to do the things he desires of you.

we're just going to stay friends...

I am going to take a lot of flack for this, but I have to say it. Let
me preface this by saying, this is just my opinion. That's not the best
idea. The reason being that you can fall into a "friends with benefits"
type of relationship, which is worse in my opinion, because there is no
commitment.

But Christianity isn't a "one size fits all" religion, so if you feel
that you can be friends with him and not fall back into sin, then more
power to you sister.

not 'friends with benefits.'
just good friends.

First of all God is never angry.
If u think that God gets angry, u have the wrong concept about God.
however, I think that you as a human being have to stand up, and be
strong.
U need a lot of prayer, and ask God to give u strength, but it's you and
only you who have to choose.
God it's not going to walk for u, u are big enough to move along.
So i think that u just have to say this is enough, and move along.
But if u r not strong enough you are going to keep urself inside that
visciouns circle.

God can get angry,
but it's not hate.
it's like your mother getting mad at you.
she loves you,
and it's why she's mad.

i strongly disagree with u.
The God i love does not get angry.
The issue is that we are so stubborn, that He has to find ways to make
us understand. They may seem harsh, but He does not get angry.
He is full of mercy.

God can be a God of wrath.
i've seen it happen.
not to me,
but i've seen someone banished from the church.

Good for you killxherxoff! It's good that you know that God does get
angry, many Christians deny that. I wish that I had known God when I
was your age, it took me 33 years to find the Lord.

it wasn't easy, trust me...
imagine those thirty-three years concentrated into about...oh...six
years?

Choose to be happy.

not always easy...

True but would you rather be happy or not?

of course.
but the path getting there isn't always straight.

That is true, too but stay on the path.

God would never banish anyone from his church. He loves us all
unconditionally.

If a person is banned from a church it is because of the will of the
humans that control said church not the will of god.

Whatever you decide to do with your situation god will be there within
you ready to assist you.

If when the time is right you reach a point where you must take action
his spirit will raise up and give you the strength you need. You will
feel it when you need it.

And you will do what you must when that time comes.

actually, God gives leaders of the church power to banish.
it's called the office of the keys.
this kid thought he could do no wrong, and would therefore not repent.
so many people tried to get through to him,
but he refused to listen.
it was starting to hurt the rest of the congregation.

killxherxoff
would u please tell me which church do u belong to?

1 Corinthians 5:12-13
------------------------------------------------------------
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who
are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE
WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
------------------------------------------------------------

it's nondenominational...
we sent him to a different church,
a sister church.
we were kind of forced to after he cornered my friend in the bathroom to
try and make out with her.
