Thanks for addressing me so, kindly. I have a bit of a qurky sense of humor (liked your cute toad saying btw, I laughed).
I suppose I might be wrong but if, should, or when a man speaks or does to me in such descriptive, physical manner, I think I am going to believe it to be lovemaking or at least the prior. I realize I am taking the book, kind of at face value, which might be rated at least PG-13 if made into a movie. Yet, still...I think even in love between a man and a woman the LORD has faithfully given us an example not just allegorical but historically through Solomn.
I realize the discomfort we (me too) all have with this subject. The reality is the LORD has blessed mankind with a marvelous, mystery of the oneness which occurs through lovemaking. It isn't like the animals simply for procreation but for a relational depth and sharing of souls to become one.
:prayingf:First, because I am one of those with an opposing position, and hoping I wasn't making you feel attacked. It isn't personal; just opinions and it doesn't effect our eternal destiny which is based on faith and belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
:prayingf:Second, Deborah has moved on by the leading of the LORD, so, she won't be responding. The daughter in your previous comment was her's: a very faithful, courageous, and loving young woman. I believe they were valuable, additions to the forum. In many ways, I will miss deborah and was sorry to see her leave.
:prayingf:Third, I didn't want you suffering, thinking perhaps you have done something. Wondering, if you caused a silence...
Please forgive me, if I am over stepping on this one. My heart is to help you and bring healing on this area. I am just thinking how I would feel and what comforting words could be spoken.:prayingf:
Actually, I believe there are some people with knowledge. They tend to be task or goal oriented type doers. Forums that are practical rather than touchie feelie might give them an outlet?
Please forgive me, but I believe it is one of the difference between men and women. I believe it is one of the reasons men don't like church. All that sitting w/only one guy to do the talking. Check out the churches that have lots of men? they have lots of opportunities to do?
A lot of men are into health, nutrition and herbal remedies, too.
It is a 3 hr time difference. She arrived at my house around 6:00pm and stayed until about 8:30. So, the timing was definitely God's for the purpose of encouragement and edification of the saints. Thanks for being faithful to the calling to post.
I shared the post with her. She is rejoicing at the message of the LORD being confirmed. Living in the caves when you and anointed to live in the kingdom and palace can be tough. What training David endured. What patience he displayed. What an example he left for us. No wonder he knew how to worship with such abandonment of protocal.
Praise GOD for His ways of escape through the Rock which is Christ Jesus our LORD!
Always coveting those prayers,
Thanks!

BTW My 8 children are gone at Christian camp ministering (3) or visiting their dad (5)this week, so, remember that warning for the forum while your daughters were gone, and potential over posting....you might want to pray, I am running out of things I desire to do around here.:ROFL:
