DavidD250 View Profile History	Do you desire love and sexual pleasure too much? Posted : 15 Oct, 2012 07:57 PM I wanted to share this with everyone here and see what they think. This also relates to that other topic I made on advice and dating "Date a non-believer/backslider...." the friend in that topic I mention is really my ex girlfriend from the Philippines who I feel is making the wrong decision. I would have prefered she come back to me or at least date another good Christian. These notes are from my study Bible, dealing with what Samson went through with Delilah. I share this experience also and it's painful and not worth the heartbreak it brings. I wish I remembered this sooner. Here it is: Samson was decieved because he wanted to believ Delilah's lies. Although he could strangle a lion, he could not smother his burning lust and see Delilah for who she really was. How can you keep your desire for love and sexual pleasure from deceiving you? 1. You must decide what kind of a person you will love BEFORE passion takes over. Determine whether a person's character and faith in God are as desirable as his or her physical appearance. 2. Because most of the time you spend with your spouse will NOT involve sex, your companion's personality, temperament, and commitment to solve problems must be as gratifying as his or her kisses. 3. Be patient. The 2nd look often reveals what is beneath the pleasant appearance and attentive touch. Post Reply

When we huff and puff and try blowing the big bad sin down in our lives we end up bringing glory to our selves and reigious legalist. When we stop and humble our selves before God and repent before Him expressing our need for transformation of mind because we are bent toward sin. He hears and answers our prayers. Like my self many times we are even blind to our own sin that is so obvious to others. I was blind to my manipulation of women. When God touched my life in this area their was much anguish at my sin causing a great flow of tears. When we are fully repented because God leads us to repentence we are fully forgiven and made right by God. It is God who leads us down the path of righteousness and not we our selves. We are blind, deaf and dumb apart from God. God is the deliver of His people especially from our selves. M Post Reply

View Profile History	Do you desire love and sexual pleasure too much? Posted : 19 Oct, 2012 01:05 PM If you continue to go around putting on a front as somebody you are not and being a hypocrite on this site, I will continue to point it out. Now, what do I need from you? Not a thing, but it would be beneficial to the others here if you would be who you are. You cannot fix your problems unless you start to admit them. Calling me cute is just immature. So is going around this site acting extra spiritual when you know the truth. I would have had no problem if you came back a different man. I am not doing this because of what happened last time. I'm doing it because you are still that person and you put a mask on for these other people. I don't respond to just anything you post. I respond to the lies and hypocrisy. Getting rid of the denial is a first step. I have nothing against you personally, but I'm not going to continue to let you just mislead others and act like you are some great why....why you complain of others on this site being in wars, manipulating, etc.....because that's exactly who you are. You've even implied that those who do such things aren't true believers, so what are you? Post Reply

View Profile History	Do you desire love and sexual pleasure too much? Posted : 20 Oct, 2012 05:56 AM Do you know that what you just said about me would be worthy of being banned on this site? But I am not going to do that because I have inner strength. Strength that comes from the Spirit of God to look past others personal attacks on me. I know you feel it is your responsibility to teach me but please give up on any hope that you might be able. I have one teacher and that is the Spirit of God. I have spent more years than you are alive today reading Gods Word and meditating on it. Listening to that still small voice that is the Spirits. Like you I have had trust problems with people. I can tell we are alot alike you and I. So I understand where you are coming from. Even in my relationship with God I have had trouble learning to trust Him. Just as I know you do and many others here. It takes time to come to terms with such thoughts. We are not alone in the things we think and feel just in differing understandings and learning to get beyound our emotional barriers life has placed in our hearts. I understand your deep need for truth because it is the one thing that gives you security. As you mature you will learn the truth never changes but you change and the things that we are blinded with in our emotional state becomes clear. We learn to relax and trust more. Especially God. I know to you this is going to sound like a bunch of emotional mombo jumbo becuse your maturity level prevents you from understanding. One day I hope you can look back and remember this message and smile. This is my attempt to show love to you brother. I hope it is well received. Strength & Honor Michael Post Reply
View Profile History	Do you desire love and sexual pleasure too much? Posted : 20 Oct, 2012 11:25 AM Ironically, the things you've said have already gotten you banned form the site. If you want to call them personal attacks fine, because you are a person. It doesn't change the truth of what I'm saying. Neither does claiming to have inner strength change the hypocrisy you have displayed on this board. My job is not to teach you. You already know the wrongs you continue to commit. God also teaches through people and if you didn't believe that, then why do you try to post your teachings on this site? The number of years you've spent studying means nothing if you got no truths out of it. I'm actually nothing like you and I don't have trust problems. What reason would I have to trust you when you repeatedly lie on the site and claim to be someone you are not while painting others as evil for doing exactly what you do? So, the fact that I don't trust you hardly means that I have trust problems. So now you are claiming I have problems trusting God too? I hope people are watching because this has been your exact strategy since you have been on this board. You continue with your subtle attacks on the character of others but fail to ever prove your case. You are never able to give a defense for your claims. I can actually give you several quotes from you that support my claims. That's the difference. I am honest. I don't just post lies hoping no one will be thorough enough to check to see if they are consistent. You bank on people not looking at your history. Well I and others here know differently about you, so watch what you say. I am not afraid to start quoting your old posts here for all to see. Continue acting extra spiritual and vilifying anyone who disagrees or points out your hypocrisy and I will start posting them all. Be a man and own up to your mistakes. You can't change until you admit you have a problem. You mock my need for truth as if truth were a sort of evil. Listen to how you sound. Your idea that truth seemingly doesn't matter is what is evil. Continue talking about my maturity as if you are superior and I will start quoting all of your old posts(from a few weeks ago) to show your immaturity. I trust God and there is no relaxing when it comes to defense of truth. Truth is worth defending whether you feel it is or not. Right right, my maturity level prevents my understanding. Of course you hide this whole display behind love right? Give me a break man. That's not maturity. The greatest love someone can do for you is to tell you the truth. You have failed to do so. So, NO your post was not at all done in love. I think people are already getting a taste for who you are though. Post Reply

Although you end your posts with "strength and honor" there is no honor in your posts. I will however continue to point out the errors and hypocrisy in your other posts as I would for anyone else.

View Profile History	Do you desire love and sexual pleasure too much? Posted : 20 Oct, 2012 02:11 PM Just one man's take on brother Michael's post. Perhaps, I am just "blinded by my own emotional state". Here is what "biblical love" looks like: I love you man - let me show you just how much. Let me offer you some edifying words, words to build you up. 1. I could get you banned man, but I (yes I) am filled with inner strength. 2. I will not listen to a thing that you try to teach me. "I know you feel it is your responsibility to teach me but please give up on any hope that you might be able" 3. I know way more than you do. "I have spent more years than you are alive today reading Gods Word and meditating on it." 4. You have trust issues. I used to have those till I arrived at the zenith of enlightenment. "Like you I have HAD trust problems with people." 5. You lack faith. (trust in God). " I have HAD trouble learning to trust Him." 6. You are insecure. 'I understand your deep need for truth because it is the one thing that gives you security." 7. I am no longer like you, that is insecure. "As you mature you will learn the truth never changes but you change and the things that we are blinded with in our emotional state becomes clear." 8. You are immature and lacking in understanding. "I know to you this is going to sound like a bunch of emotional mombo jumbo becuse your maturity level prevents you from understanding. " "This is my attempt to show love to you brother. I hope it is well received." Again, setting aside the obvious self aggrandizement and the confusion, one must try to read between the lines. One must also consider the overall tone (condescension) and context when one tries to interpret the main message of this post. Post Reply
