Hi everyone,
I decided to leave this forum. PC's last comments helped me to decide. I did my best to follow Jesus and my conviction in this forum. Thank you everyone who helped me in Bible questions.
If you want to know why I came to this conclusion, all you have to do is to read my posts over the last few days. I would not like to rehash.
sincerely,
Jesus' servant,
hitomi
Well Hitomi,, keep on seeking as the scripts say, we are all a long way off from where God would have us be.
Yet that is why we were admonished to "keep on putting up with one another"...
I don't think those exact words would have been written if it was easy.
Peace to u

Dear joyful ...
I'm sorry you feel this way ...:(
So many tried and tried to reason with you and show you that we care about you and that you feel as we on so many things ...
All of us must do what we feel we must in our walk as footstep followers of Christ Jesus ... and walk in the way of love ...
Please continue to make our God and his Son your stronghold and refuge and never give up doing what is fine in the work of the Lord ...
May our God grant you much blessings as you ... and we ... try to live by the fruitages of the spirit and the two laws that Christ gave ...
Please know my sister that you don't have to go :(... but obviously you must do what you feel you must ... :dontknow:
May your heart feel peace and joy ...:heartbeat: and know that you will most assuredly be in my prayers ... :pray:
Christian love ... BR :sheepy: :bouncyhearts:
God be with you dear...
enjoyed you while you were here... will miss your questions...

Hi Hitomi,
It is the sign of a wise person to retreat (resign) and reflect. Retreating puts us automatically in a saftey zone - out of the reach of conflict. I speak from sound experience. Sometimes I get too cozy away from the crowds. However, it gives me time to work on my attitude rather than on any objective. Retreat is an acceptance rather than a surrender, a choice that can protect us (and others) from negative influences and bring us closer to a benefical surrounding. I can't remember who said this: "That you have silencend me, doesn't mean that you have convinced me." -- or something like that. It is not our responsibility to direct our fellow humans and vice versa. If the paths meet, fine. If not, also fine. That is alllowing YHWH to work in His own way rather than inviting agitation.
I am happy for you that you chose for yourself to "entangle" from the ebb and flow that comes along whenever a large variety of opinions, mentalities, etc. gather.
No harm will come from it. Enjoy, and perhaps one day you wish to "tangle" again.
With the hope that you will remain devoted to the good in all things.......
Much Love n' Light
Bruny
