Cheating On Your Spouse

 

I didn't include sorrow since I'd never seen it written that way. It means, as I'm sure you know, you can't help what ideas pop into your head, but you can help acting on them. A married person may find someone other than their mate attractive, but they don't have to act on the attraction.

. It means, as I'm sure you know, you can't help what ideas pop into your head, but you can help acting on them.

 

=======================

I've never seen it written any other way, and I don't think it means the ideas that pop into your head. 

Then try this one: As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

 

I'm sure as a parent you've taught your children about impulse control. Don't do it the first time, and it won't become a habit--whatever it is.

Hi Chick,

You ask me, "Billy, can you show me where anyone mentioned your name?  Can you show me where it’s all about you?"

Obviously, you did not read my post.  What I wrote is:

My heart breaks for a few Forum Friends who have so much misery inside -- that, instead of discussing issues in an intelligent manner; all they want to do is to attack and denigrate a person, or a person's family.

People who do that, I am convinced, do it for one of two reasons:  (1) they have internal emotional issues which they are venting toward others, or (2) they do not have the intelligence to participate in a civil, intelligent discussion.   And, to be quite honest, I am not sure which of these reasons is worse -- but, they both tend to lead to personal attacks instead of civil dialogues.

For those few Friends, I forgive you -- and I pray that others who have been the target of your personal attacks will forgive you.  But, I also ask you to reconsider, change, and become productive members of the forum family -- and not just destructive elements.

 

So, as you said, it is not all about me -- but, about all the Forum members whom you have blasted with your anger.

Then, you ask me, "Shall I find the several post where you have so hatefully attacked & denigrated my friend vplee123?"

Yes.  Please do.

Yes, I have often disagreed with VP when she posts Roman Catholic teachings and doctrines which are not Biblical.  That is not a personal attack, nor hatred, toward VP.  It is only a refutation of false or erroneous teachings which she has posted.  Now, if she, or you, want to take that as a personal attack -- I cannot stop you.  But, I have never personally attack nor denigrated VP or anyone on the Religion Forum.  Disagreeing, even heated disagreement -- is not a personal attack.

A disagreement can be made into a personal attack -- as you have so often shown to those with whom you disagree.  But, my disagreements are not personal; they are only challenging a false or erroneous teaching.   And, I do my best to make my challenges Scripture based.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Hi Kate,

 

You are so right.   I don't think there is a person alive who has not, at one time or another, seen another person to whom they felt a sexual attraction.  That feeling is not necessarily a sin -- unless one dwells on it and nourishes that feeling, even just mentally.  In that case, the sin is not the acting upon the feeling -- but, the continual nourishing of that feeling -- which could lead a person to act upon it at some point.

 

I believe that is the point which Jesus is making in His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5):

 

Matthew 5:27-28, "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.'  But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

 

Looking at a person of the opposite sex and feeling twinges of desire is one thing.  But, to continue to play host to those thoughts, to dwell on them, is "lusting after that person" -- which Jesus tells us is adultery.

 

The same thing can be said of same-sex attractions.  This is why I have often written that a person with homosexual desires can be a Christian believer -- but a person who is living an active homosexual lifestyle cannot be a Christian believer.   The homosexual who has left that lifestyle and become a Christian believer -- will, most likely, still have those desires at times.  But, if he/she does not entertain, play host to, and let those desires take control of his/her life -- that person can most certainly have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

To my lovey Dovey Friend,

AS THEY SAY IN MISSOURI -- SHOW ME!!

 

 

Bless your heart!

 

Bill

---------------------------------

Bill is aware he's attacking people, everyone knows bill is fully aware that he's attacking people. Everyone knows bill will deny attacking people, with the proof of his attacks right there in black and white. Bill thinks he has every right to attack people. Everyone knows bill thinks he has the right to attack people.  Bill thinks he's special. Bill thinks his wife is special, and can never post about her without specifying she's filipino. No one can understand why bill thinks he's special or why he thinks his wife is special because she is filipino. No one else thinks bill and his filipino wife are special. With that being "said", why people still allow bill "into their homes via the internet" is beyond me. Would any of you waste your time and stand and listen to, or argue with, bill in "real life"?  Even I finally got tired of the lies, insults to people, and old stories no one believes, that he posts over and over, and his endless threads about the same subject, and all the threads he made instead having the courtesy of answering questions on others threads.

Hi Jennifer Best,

 

AS THEY SAY IN MISSOURI -- SHOW ME!!

 

Bless your heart!

 

Bill

Bill, I was going to post [again] all those vicious things you have said about V but I decided not to since reading Jenn & Dove's post. Both were right on in what they posted.

You never have & never will acknowledge your faults. You must be one miserably unhappy old man to be so hateful & mean, to constantly want to make fun & berate people so vehemently.

 

You remind me of one of my grandfather’s. He was so unhappy that he would do/say whatever he had to so he could make anyone that came into contact with him miserable. Everyone walked a wide circle around him to get away from him, because nobody wanted to be within shouting distance of him.

Have you always been a bitter, hateful man? Do you have any idea what made you this way? I find myself more & more everyday feeling so sorry for you. It has to be a miserable existence to be you.

Hi Chick,

 

Do I have faults?  Yes, my Friend, I have many, many faults -- just NOT the ones YOU accuse me of having or committing.

 

You tell me, "You remind me of one of my grandfather’s.  He was so unhappy that he would do/say whatever he had to so he could make anyone that came into contact with him miserable."

 

Yes, such traits do often run in the family.  But, even such misery and unhappiness can be overcome -- if one will put their faith in Jesus Christ.  My Friend, I pray that some day YOU will do that.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Oh.....poor Billy Bob, am I making you more miserable than you already are? Ain't it a shame?! 

I post fine since I blocked him and that helped coming here a lot.  I know several who left because of him and that creepy signature, BUT I hope that bashing him doesn't become a whole new sport.  Blocking is a wonderful thing and makes the day nice.  I don't like to read his stuff and the energy on it is awful, so I don't.  Just block him and go on to happier things is my suggestion

---

True...very true.

----------------------

LOL! Too late! 
Where you been?

'Bout time he got to eat some of that pie...

 

---

Yeah, guess I am weird like that.  I don't see how it helps anyone to bash anyone.  If I complain that someone is mean to me...and yes, he has been mean to many...and then I do the same to to that person, then how am I any different and what can I complain about without being just as mean?  The high road is a nice place to go sometimes.  Not as much fun in some cases, but someone sometime hopefully will consider it.

 

I am not talking about not stating feelings or trying to solve the situation, and am not saying people should get away with being mean.  Just saying if someone calls me names and I call him or her names right back, how does that help?  Not telling anyone else what to do, of course.  Just commenting.  And yes, I do get out and I know reality doesn't always match our wishes.   

-----------------------------

You're right. It doesn't help. 

He can't be helped because he thinks there's nothing wrong.

 

Therefore, he makes a really good resetting target.

Even fundies are good for something.

Frog, I get what you're saying & agree with some of it. I took the old man off of block because I had to stand up for my friend Vplee. She's a good, decent woman, & one I believe to be a Christian. Because she's my friend, Bill has said she's not a Christian. (he has said much worse about her)

I guess some of us keep thinking that we just might say something that will hit home & make Bill re-consider what he's doing.

Nothing is going to make a difference, he's a lost cause & Satan's boy toy. He's back on block because I'm thru with the old man!

I figure if no one bites and plays the game people usually stop trying to bully or insult.  It's no fun for most people to say things to incite people if no one even sees it.  So if a person really wants to "convert" or "save" people, then being a decent person in real life seems to me to be the way to go, but saying nasty things online that no one sees would be an exercise in futility.  But then I have no desire to "save" anyone.  If someone asks for help I am happy to help, but trying to force opinions on people doesn't seem helpful to me personally.

-------------------

You're absolutely right, frog.

 

But then he's a narcissist. I just can't resist that 'kick me, hard. (2x)' sign on his forehead.

 

Long as he keeps asking for more rope-I'll keep paying it out.

 

 Eventually he'll hang himself with it.

 

That stool he's preachin' from is already wobblin' considerably.

To each his own.  He will keep it up as long as there are people to play, but I guess if you like the game it's a game.

------------------------

Yup. It is.

Wouldna been 'cept he dammt me to hell a couple years back.

He drew first blood-so I'm game.

 

---

Yep, I blocked him a good while ago and you are right.  With no audience to impress or convince that he is right he won't bother to insult. I won't see any sermons and am very happy about that 

 

AND, THE GREATEST OF THESE IS:

WHEN THE CABAL BLOCKS ME!

So that others might read without clutter!

 

It's a cabal!!!! It's a cabal!!!!! It came from the grass knoll! A vast right wing conspiracy! I saw them flying a kite in a thunderstorm! A bunch of heretics! They're all out to get me!!!! All those left wing nuts!!! The whole world is after me!!!!!

 

No, my Friend, not the whole world -- but, just a few Loose Nuts rolling around the Religion Forum.   A good example is your post above.  But, nothing I cannot handle -- for since I walk with God, I don't worry about the loose nuts on the floor!

 

Bless your loose little heart!

 

Bill

-----------------------------

LOL.

 

Those 'folks who read but don't post' are all in his head. 

Oh, there might be *one.*

 

But I doubt it.

If there is anyone reading and not posting here, it is because they know better than to stir Bill's pot.

 

Fundamentalist bashing is sport for me.  Bill is their whipping boy here.  He thinks it will get him into heaven.

And it is all being orchestrated by the Bilderbergers!

Yes, Bill has a Filipino fetish.  When he and his wife refer to "our song," this is probably what they are referring to:

Here is a saltier version, with some possible kiddie pix for Bill to use as cuteness closures when his posts have nothing relevant to offer (which is OFTEN):

Old Ernest Tubb couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but somehow he got the job done.

Just passing through, what'd I miss? Another cabal? I saw my name in a couple of posts- I have not been posting much- why are y'all talking about me haha I will share this- Pope Francis, a few weeks ago made a statement that I really took (trying) to heart. He basically said that when Christians fight amongst each other, we hurt the Body of Christ. I was moved by the truth of that statement, and chose not to participate in the Catholic/Protestant wars any further. Having said that, I am open to fruitful polite discussion;-) even if we disagree, I adamantly refuse to participate in "spitting contests" or whatever you call it. Bill Gray is an attacker of my spirit, and he has been on block. So that's where I'm at...hope y'all are well.

Hey Dove;-) Good to "see" you too!

PS I have learned that restraint is becoming easier if I remind myself of the absolute futility of any other option;-)

Crustance, I take penumbrance  to that. I consider myself a fundamentalist.
