I pray this post does not fall on deaf ears. There was a great thread that was recently locked here in this forum due to unnecessary attacks amongst members. Ladies, I know we are on different levels with our walks with Christ,but one thing that we all should know not to do, regardless of where we are in Christ and that is argue and maliciously attack each other due to our opinions. I think many times we don't realize that there's something greater that just us- it's how we represent Christ. Needless to say, some non- Christians are just gonna attack us just because they know we are Christians,but why give some a reason to attack us? Someone wise on this forum once told me that she prays BEFORE she gets onto LHCF and asks the Holy Spirit to guide her,so she can be effective in her walk and you know what? She seems to be the only Christian person many non-Christians will even listen to. She doesn't hold back when it comes to what the Word says and she doesn't care if someone labels her a 'bible thumper.' She doesn't go by how her flesh feels as to which post she should reply to at all- she goes by the Spirit, which therefore leads her into discussions with others about Christ. Isn't that awesome? Ladies, let's challenge ourselves to do the same, not just within the Christianity forum, but in other forums as well. Eventhough we go by creative screen names and no one really knows who we are, God knows. Representing Him goes further than just on Sunday or Saturday mornings- it's continuous. Whew, with that said, I want us to discuss something in a previous thread that was unfortunately locked.
Although Blossssom no longer acknowledges Christ as her personal Lord and Savior, she brought up some EXCELLENT points in regards to being saved, single and having sex. It was concerning a 'cliche' many Christians use when we are not serving the Lord wholeheartedly and therefore allowing our flesh to dictate our actions. Here's the thought provoking quote made by her:
"And I used to feel the same way you did, too, about "God knows my heart/my intentions". That was before I realized I wasn't truly a Christian and that I was fooling myself with the "God knows my heart", because in the end, if God knows my heart, that means I also knew his word, but I went contrary to it."
Things that make you go, hmmmmmmmm......
The Bible speaks about us not being lukewarm Christians- either you will obey His word or not. Also with repentance there is a 180 degree turnaround. Now, God is gracious, if we slip up, He will forgive us, but we have to get back on track again, but what happens if we keep on slipping, and slipping, and slipping some more? Why does our hearts become hardened after we continously sin against Him,but we think we are safe if we say, 'well, God knows my heart.'

Believe me it has not fallen on deaf ears. I have also proven that praying before addressing certain posts actually brings clarity and wisdom and that is necessary for someone as opinionated as myself.
. Bloossom's statement was on point. I am struggling with three issues that consititutes fraud. I cannot even lie to or for myself because the bible tells me how I should live but I have allowed my worldly ways screw up my path. 
I need Jesus Jesus and more Jesus. I even been in hiding. Ok confession is over. I do need prayer though because I am in some real pain.
