I would like to know if you do something bad do you confess your wrong doing to man or God!
I have seen members on the BBC ranting and raving Confess your wrong doings or we wont speak to you . What are your feeling on man passing judgement or man worrying about someone else's wrong doing and forgets their own (sins)

I will state that God is my judge and no other .I will confess my sins to him and only ask God for His forgiveness! Reason I say this You can ask a person to forgive you but they never accept what you say or they never will forgive or forget. They might say they will but get a person angry and what you ask forgiveness for will always be brought up time after time.

This is an interesting question for a variety of reasons. First and formost, I think we always need to confess to God on a daily basis (how many of us have bad thoughts about people a few times a day, or say something to hurt someone, ect. - we were not born perfect), but I also think we need to confess to people we have wronged. I know I had to do that on this board a couple of weeks ago - I jumped all over certain posters everytime they showed up. Do I think that you can confess to God and not the people you wronged? I'm not God, but my guess would be no - I think you need to confess to God first, ask Him to give you the words to confess to the person you wronged, and then go to that person. You could, or course, just confess to God. But how would that person ever know that you felt that you wronged them and were sorry? You would have tied up loose ends on one side, but left them hanging on the other side. Just my opinion - and everyone has one.

Lhasa Lady I was referring to people that was not involved . If I hurt say you I would tell you what I was sorry for then ask to be forgiven ,but if I did nothing to you why should I Say I did this or that to this person if you are not involved. you would not be the one I need the forgiveness from Correct? (I hope you understand what I mean)

Oh, well if they aren't involved, then you don't need to air dirty laundry to anyone else - it wouldn't be anything that would concern them.

This is what I have been saying all along to certain people but it did not sink in yet for them ....

Anything you post on a public talk forum or in a chat room is subject to scrutiny and subject to criticism and any otber thing another person wants to do with it. You lay something out on an open road and then you are surprised when it gets run over?

Very true Lewie,
And P.D., I agree with L.L., apoligize to the person you wronged (this includes God) and anybody else who has a problem with it is just looking for trouble and trying to humiliate(sp) you.Just let it roll off your back.You can't make everyone happy, or like you.Just be nice and let it go!
I need to take my own advice on that too I guess, but when people keep following you , you can only take so much, I totally understand. I have seen people follow you on here too trying to get you to strike back, just try to let it go.I know sometimes you get your feelings hurt, shoot I had hardly ever in my life had a cross word with anyone, and I have been told and told others , worse than ever before, I lost sleep over it, fought back, tried to talk to these people, everything.All it did was make me say things to people I later felt quilty about, and made me feel hatred toward people I didn't even know.So all it did for me was make me feel worse! Apparently you are sensitive also and are worried by this otherwise you wouldn't be talking about it.Just let it go, really they aren't worth it!

Dillerey
Yes I have feelings. but that is not why I posted this. I belive that if you wrong someone and you know you did. that is the person that needs to hear from you.Not your neighbor or people on the forum .. It is very hard to let things go or slide when everyday people bring crap up .

Lewie No I am not surprise at all with the scrutiny and subject to criticism but when you are not doing anything but sharing photo's of kittens and I was not goating anyone on .to have people claim they where hurt by what they thought I did

Linda,

I agree with you. If you wrong someone and know you did. That person needs to hear from you, not someone else. At the same time all you can do is say your sorry and hope that person is kind enough to accept the apology. If they dont at least you know you tried.

And yes it is hard to let go when folks who are not directly involved constantly bring the subject back up. All you can do is try to ignore them, I know easier said than done. But by responding you are doing just what they want. If you dont respond to it, eventually they stop because they know it is not going to bother you.

I understand P.D. I can't ignore it myself when they start on me, I try but the more you ignore the more they make up, yell, cuss, attack, and then others join in until you can't take it anymore!!All I can say is goodluck.(but if I see you or anybody else getting backed in a corner by these nuts I will jump in to help out, I can always do something to make them bash me, like say hey!LOL!!

David my problem is when I say sorry if I know I did something wrong. people not invovled always bring it back up . it is sad people must do this .I do try to ignore it but that is when people state Well it must be true or some crap like that .

Dillerey I am not Jesus I can't always turn my cheek .I think about this all the time "Jesus must had been a strong man to get up on the cross for our sins !" I doubt I would be able to what JESUS did!!

All I know is it takes a bigger/better person to walk away/ignore a fight, than to stay in it.
If you want to get someone's goat, just ingore them completely.
No one seems to really be able to do that much on this board, but it's worth a try.

Another thing, when someone starts up something about you again (and you know they will), just don't acknowlege their existence. If they see that it doesn't seem to bother you, then they will eventually stop because it is no fun for them anymore. They only do things like that to get your attention.

I guess you don't even have to be popular on this board to warrant attention though--I have found that out myself two or three times already. Good luck!!

LOL Jaylo people on this forum seem to enjoy hurting others, God knows how hard it is for me to Ignore them

You know I agree with you totally. I seem to be the brunt of something here as well. Must be the season for it. And I do admit that I'm tempted not to ignore the ignorant posters that are around lately, but I am trying to. I'm sure they will follow me over here too. I think I must have a magnet taped on my head that says "hey, beat me up!!" or something. lol
Nice to meet you Purfect Dream. Have a great week!! JayLo

JayLo nice to meet you as well ..I doubt that you are the only person that has that beat me up magnet LOL . I don't see ignoring someone will help but I was given that advise. you know people will say what they want no matter what. I know I am not perfect by no means but I don't see the need to confess to people that are not involved ,I just think people are way to big for their egos lol ....JayLo I love the movie your icon came from and I hope you have a wonderful week as well

I confess!! I confess!!

I DID EAT ALL OF THE CHOCOLATE.

(okay now, punish me, pleazze!!)

Danielle I am glad someone ate the chocolate

Watchman, why don't you start a Bible verse thread. I am sure some regulars would like to join in if you start one.
