So you refuse to study Christian history because it proves you wrong? Do I correctly understand what you are trying to say?

lol, I am in a very good mood, which is very very rare for me. So I’ll address this very nicely.

No, I get mad when people are either rude, or arrogant, and then I get the urge to hit them, usually I can subject the urge, sometimes not so well. I have scars on my hands from hitting lockers for getting mad, and they will never go away, I’ve waited over ay ear and a half for the one thats noticeable, still their.

Well, I thought about becoming a hermit or monk. I like the idea of reading the bible for hours a day, praying. My only thing is, I need at least one of my hobbies, which I don’t know if is allowed. One major thing I liked about, and still like, is that monks were allowed to work in gardens for a large part of the day, and farming is a passion I cannot give up. I love animals too.

Well,hold that thought! God gives us the desires of our hearts, so if He has put these passions in yours, it is because He intends to fulfill them in His own way. I suggest that you look into a retreat,and spend some time at a monastery. It is a good chance to taste the life of a monk and to reflect. I understand your home situation is not supportive of that at the present time.

I plan to go to college after the Army. I am going to the Army to try to be a helicopter pilot or a Green Beret. Either way, I want to go to college and major in Military History, and get minors in something like Philosophy and maybe something else.

I am sure that God will guide all of your steps! 👍

Follow the desires of your heart, and keep Him at the center of your life, and you will end up right where He wants you.

It sounds like you get frustrated because you are unable to express what you are trying to say. This is generally due to not having a clear understanding of what you are talking about. Rather than lashing out, try educating yourself. Also, 2 Timothy would be good reading as well:
(14) Remind people of these things and charge them before God 4 to stop disputing about words. This serves no useful purpose since it harms those who listen. (15) Be eager to present yourself as acceptable to God, a workman who causes no disgrace, imparting the word of truth without deviation. (16) Avoid profane, idle talk, for such people will become more and more godless, (17) and their teaching will spread like gangrene . . . (23) Avoid foolish and ignorant debates, for you know that they breed quarrels. (24) A slave of the Lord should not quarrel, but should be gentle with everyone, able to teach, tolerant, (25) correcting opponents with kindness. It may be that God will grant them repentance that leads to knowledge of the truth, (26) and that they may return to their senses out of the devil’s snare, where they are entrapped by him, for his will.

2 Timothy 2:14-17; 23-26

And regarding the teaching of our Christian fathers, from the same letter:
(3) For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, 2 will accumulate teachers (4) and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

You might sometimes understandably get mad but I’ve long admired your ability to get up again and continue your enquiries.
I hope that a day will come when you have the answers to your questions and you can ride forth in peace.
 
RollTide…Okay, I am not saying anything about this subject…but I was reading and noticed now why sometimes people think I am a Catholic. There is a Rolltide poster on here!!! I think they are getting us mixed up.

Way off subject here and I am sure I am going to get in trouble for saying it, but did you cry last night after the ballgame like I nearly did??? 😦

There are MANY Alabama people on here actually…

Well, I certainly was not pleased with last night’s results, but we certainly didn’t embarrass ourselves (in fact, I’d say we impressed a whole bunch of people), we still will play in the Sugar Bowl, and considering where we started at the beginning of the season, I think we have a whole lot to look forward to.

The general weakness of the SEC right now and the loss of so few seniors certainly bodes well for next year!
