I don't know, I'd maybe say something along the lines of, "Would you have a similar problem concerning someone who questioned the catholic faith on which they'd been raised? What about the mormon faith? The fact is, we don't choose the religion our parents teach us. One of the responsibilities we have as adults is to question our parents' beliefs and see whether or not there is any truth to them." Except I don't really like the wording. Just, that's the idea I'd try to convey.

I might add that this man that was interested in me my first year of BJU.

Now see, as an English teacher, I've just got to point out the importance of punctuation. Without those helpful parentheses, one would read "We loved and cried during the movie" which presents a completely different mental image than what was intended. Grammar IS essential!

This makes me so annoyed. It's so trite. God's not up to anything, my life just sucks.
RE: Fundybook - pastor's wife - 01-17-2012 09:11 AM
tiarali, aphorisms and cliches are especially annoying to people in the middle of suffering. When you're not in pain and grief, you can think about things philosophically. When you're struggling, though, you don't want to here a pithy quote; you want someone to just weep with you.
My situation is nowhere near as challenging as what you are facing right now, but I know that I'm struggling to believe that God is working. However, I'm trying to trust in 2 Cor. 4:17: "For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!" Again those words could sound a little too dismissive until you realize that they were written by someone who suffered beatings, being stoned to death, imprisonment, and shipwreck, so he understood suffering.
To reference my favorite author though, when things are bleak and cold, when evil seems in control, Aslan may be on the move! So hold on, tiarali! (Just wanted to encourage you, but, all that said, the quote DOES totally come across as trite!)

I'm just getting to the point that it seems that, ok, yes things will be better - in the next life. God will win overall. I will have victory over those issues that have hurt me finally.
But what's the point of this life if it's not going to be made right in my lifetime? It seems like a cop out.

Saw on Pintrest.
A bible falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't.
RE: Fundybook - supernova8610 - 01-18-2012 03:00 AM
I heard stuff like that at my ex-IFB church. It really irritated me because I always like to take really good care of my stuff, so a Bible I'd had for years looked almost new. Not because I hardly used it, because I used it a lot, but because I did my best to take good care of it.
