And second, should she begin to have a serious anxiety disorder in the future related to her shooting, you leave me fully believing that you wouldn't be man enough to advise that while she prays she should see a professional counselor. And thirdly, if she did, shed be a stronger man than you.

You took a bullet in the chest? This is interesting how you dealt with what I posted. You took a bullet as military personnel I assume? What war was this? Where were you deployed where you took the bullet? She was walking to her car with another sister. She was shot point blank in the chest, no jacket, no kevlar, point blank, and drove herself to the hospital. What war were you in Chris? You were military, a "medic" you are told this testimony, but you bypass what actually happened to this saint of God. Good going Tarzan, you need help alright, but no amount of talking to a Nazarene psychologist is going to help you while you percolate in your own human will. Grow up Chris. It isn't about you being the winner, having everyone think you are their hero and friend. It is about being honest, who you are in the dark, where no one can see you but Christ. Where you are in your head, while you surf the internet, Having character, and being a character is totally two different things.

Wonderful awesome response from a "man" who seeks more to be right, then hope and faith. Bro, is that your hope for her? Sadly yes, because there is no supernatural Jesus for you. That 24 year old sister isn't a girl who loves Jesus, filled with the Holy Ghost, baptized in JESUS name. Who tells her attacker "God bless you in Jesus name" then takes the bullet. You see it as she is you. All you see in every story is you. Chris just because you can't and won't do something, doesn't mean everyone is like you. Some people don't want religion as a cloak. Some believe this instead of waiting to be an intellectual hero. She was shot by a young black man, is she going to have bad reactions to black men? She was getting into a black car, will she one day have issues with black cars? It happened at night, will she in the future have a problem with going out at night? Bro, you always argue subjects you know little or nothing about. Car backfiring? Do you know how much that happens in the real world? Do you know with cars today they no longer have the ignition systems which causes that issue. Yet, you aren't saying that because that popped in your head, or experience it personally. You say that because you parrot old information from what you have heard or been told by the groups who believe that only psychotherapy saves.

She is doing better than you. That would make any other man reexamine their posture. Not you. Sadly not you. You just want to be the faith killing wet blanket, to reassure her that one day she will be just like you. Instead of just like Christ. You can keep your religion pal, because it couldn't kick start a wet leaf.

Aquila the expert and hero. Sorry, but we understand and know the power of the Holy Ghost, the mighty God in Christ. You just know boundaries which confine you outside of Eden.

Good job Chris, you prove beyond all doubt that you are a classless act.
Jealous that a little girl upstaged you?
Were you the guy who sat in testimony services glancing at his watch. Because everyone was taking to long? While you were chafing at the bit to tell everyone how you leap tall buildings in a single bound? Or to tell them how humble and broken you are? But MeeMaw is taking too long telling everyone how her lost grandchildren are currently living for God? How she seen God's promises to her fulfilled after her years of dedicated prayer?
It's all about you?

No, she was too busy testifying about the goodness of the Holy Ghost.
You would of formed a drum circle?

She did talk to someone, she talked with Jesus Christ? You know, the guy who always upstages you? The one who we are supposed to tell people to go to? The one who is the King, the Pastor, the Leader, the Doctor? Oh, you must believe that If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. You want church to be a MASH unit?

No, that's what you would do. You use people as props in your argument. I just happen to have a sister who took a bullet in the chest. When you tore open your own shirt in the thread to show us how right you are. Everything is about you, nothing else matters, it is all about what you experience. If you can't chew gum, then no one can chew gum. Instead of measuring ourselves with Christ, you want us to measure up to you. You can't do it then no one can do it it. First Church of Rusted Brillo has claimed another victim.

Talk about poster scare tactics? Back in the day you would of marched her to the edge of the snake pit, and kicked her in head first. No, Chris, she has Jesus Christ as her pastor. Thank God in heaven that she doesn't have faith killing selfish ego maniac leading her to a pit. You are such a hero, ready to save the world by placing a rock around its neck to see if they can float.

More Christian jargon motivated by legalism? How on earth are we supposed to believe that? You have just posted the words of a prophet of doom. She doesn't need you doing anything for her, only to stay away from her. You don't want her victory.That would prove you wrong. You want her drooling and rocking back and forth. Wincing when a metal tray hits the ground. So, you can look smug and somber, welling up in your ego. Chris the Holy Ghost is real, and you can't stand it.

No, you are the one who who sends women into the house to change their garment with tears in their eyes. You see Aquila, not everyone is like you. We aren't measured by what you have done. Christ is the measuring rod not you.

That's your hopes for her, you are going to pray for her? Save your breath to cool your porridge?
In where I work now, I've seen police officers race back to the job after serious trama, and fall apart months or years later. [/quote]
Bro, you don't believe the Holy Ghost is the answer for anyone. Therefore how is that relevant to what we are talking about? You don't believe in the supernatural conversion that is why you are no longer Pentecostal, but a Christain humanist. You believe that those officers need to be put on Beta blockers? Aquila? Want to know why your a crash site? Because you don't believe any of this is real. The Bible is just a story book for you, Jesus was Gandalf, in a make believe world. Why? Because it doesn't work for you. You will find out as you get older that this garbage your peddling won't work for you either. I just hope you find an altar.

No "its" not a joke. You sadly are a joke.
You need to find God, you need to find Him fast. You need to do it asap. You need Jesus Christ's Holy Power worse than the breath of life.
You are extremely caught in your own human will, smothered by ego, and you don't believe God is real anymore. Because you can't leap tall buildings, you can't stop a bullet, and walk into Church with the Holy Ghost glow. You scowl at her, because you are not her.
We are not to measure ourselves among ourselves, we are to allow Jesus to transform us by the renewing of our minds. Not the shrinking of our heads
