I'm not worried about other people's souls. To me we all come from God and return to God. Each person has their own path. I'm here to love them not condemn them.
As for me? The clock is ticking. I don't have that much time left and shouldn't be wasting it on worrying.
It's good to see you back. Hopefully old friends will find you soon.
I played cribbage with a friend yesterday. She was glum and needed the distraction. She perked up when I had a 24 point crib and beat her. Playing was important, not winning. Yes, I thought I had other things to do; but, apparently this was more important.
There isn't much regarding transgender or transexuality in the Bible. Gender is a cultural concept and transgender individuals exist in many places in the world. It's also not an issue in many places. As for transexuality, Baha'is consider it a personal medical issue. I understand that many folks do not accept that but accepting people as they are (or choose to be) is far less divisive than trying to control everyone or shame them.
Thanks everyone for the comments and support and understanding. It has been very stressful and exhausting. It has impacted me emotionally and physically. Spiritually, it has been a growing experience. I am glad I have a God that is bigger than all my problems. I don't know that I could get through it all without him. This definitely makes you rethink everything you take for granted in life and everything you hold near and dear. You find out things about the people you are close to both good and bad. It's been a very trying and tough time in my life.
Oh, my goodness. What a nightmare you've been enduring. I am so sorry this has happened to you! I am keeping you in my thoughts. I am glad you closed all your accounts with that bank - that was a very smart thing to do. Hopefully things get worked out soon.
Testimony time! LOL
For me, it is a lifetime of experiences. Let me give you the short version though. At first, I was raised in a Christian household. At 3 years old, I first asked Jesus to come into my heart. Several times throughout my life, I would rededicate my life to Christ or make public confessions of faith.
I didn't really start making a serious personal time to read, study the Bible, and pray until I was in my thirties. It was then that my true relationship with God the father started. This is when my heart truly got into it. Before I went through the motions of being a Christian. I had heard the gospel all my life, but then I began living it.
I believe in Jesus because I have read about him in the Bible. My parents taught me about him. I heard about him in Church. I have a personal relationship with him, and the main reason I believe in him is because I have experienced him personally.
