RE: The problem with the Divinity of Man


Trish, my attitude towards you stems out of sadness and disappointment, really, trully. I myself am not dogmatic about my faith in God and how I worship him. My whole life has also been centered around these issues, and I started out curious about many things involving spirituality, but thankfully I found my way, and when I did I realized how fragile and compromisible that very spirituality was without God. The Bible you have to keep in mind was written during different times, and so the wording or how the message is being portrayed may be not as diplomatic or sophisticated spiritually speaking...grin , but nevertheless it is the book of life and truth and I embrace it as a good Christian. I cannot separate it from God; it's one and the same. Can we prove it scientifically? I wouldn't attempt to do so. There are many things we cannot prove or explain because we are very limited, that nevertheless does not preclude or exclude their existence or occurence.

RE: An opinion please x 2

You two are an awesome exception.

Thank You...
We are no different than anyone else... we just know our hearts and what it is we want in life.

We are truly in love... and like everyone else we have disagreements.

But what we share in the heart and soul is more powerful than pride or fear...

Sometimes, when it would break the bond... one only needs to ask.

OK I'am upset... But how upset will i be if i never hear that voice again?
Would i rather work to find out what the problem is.... or just accept it and not speak again???
What would it be like not to be able to express my feelings and desires with them???

How much is it worth to me.

if love is real... then it will endure.




You know Eric I'm trully only afraid of God, nothing else scares me; but when it comes to pride, I am not able to overcome IT; how do you do that Eric?

RE: An opinion please x 2

I'am Or was In this frame of thought... before Joanne.

I found all those things which were such importance to me did not matter anymore if it ment her absence.

Love is funny, and it is very discearning at times.

But i Have a faith in God and christianity... and some things which we do not see, will be felt.
In strength and in weakness if it is real and ordained it will happen.

When I came to CS i just wanted company of social interaction and nothing more...
Friends were fine but was no way going to accept a relationship... i had no faith at all in internet dating.
I only came here for the forums, to play around and laugh so i could leave my real life behind for a moment or two.

But I tell you God placed this woman in front of me... he worked her heart to me and filled my soul with every thought being of her.

I truly love her more than any woman i have ever known in my life, I would do anything for her happiness.
And willing to sacrifice everything just to be with her and by her side.
And yet we not have shared the physical presence, there is something that goes beyond the physical in us... the presence will be nothing more than a confirmation to express our feelings...
And to experience true Loves first Kiss...
WOW what a day... and it soon will come.

Funny this coming from someone who has seen how deep the depths of failure and pain can really go.
And someone who would not nor could not accept that anything solid would come from a dating site.

Just because someone you like turns you away doesn't mean it is over... if you are not willing to stay in it with patients and just being there for when they are ready... then maybe it wasn't wieghing that heavy in the first place.
I Just want to say... Thank You Joanne for having the faith and patients for me knowing the truth and waiting for me to see it...


You two are an awesome exception.

Does he gets along well with others? How is he under pressure?
What is his mentality about spending and saving and enjoying life?
I would also test his loyalty, very important.... laugh

RE: Interculturally .....in love !!

I feel it's more challenging than if you are from the same or more similar cultures, but it is possible.....dunno Overall if you like a particular culture and are comfortable with it then I suppose the likelyhood of cultural misunderstanding and expectation is lessened.

RE: Interculturally .....in love !!

I like your optimism; and yes, a healthy relationship is about giving and taking, and an immense amount of love,.....dunno cheers

RE: Interculturally .....in love !!

smile wave

RE: Interculturally .....in love !!

It's definitely a more complex and challenging scenario than the usual, because we are defined by our upbringing and cultural ideas; and although you might end up having much in common, you are still very different; one gesture to you or lack of it might mean something very different to him; also expectations from each other can be different sometimes. I feel that even in the best case scenario where you love each other, take a mutual interest in each other's cultures and embrace part of it, as surely you will not embrace it all....grin ,you are bound to sooner or later become resentful about having to compromise so much who you are as a person. Also men have a lesser inclination to embrace the woman's culture. In the end, you will still be you, despite having shared much and having known each other possibly very well; and you might feel lonely and misunderstood at a deeper level as a woman. JMO
