Praying for you, Aquila. The Lord loves you and wants the very best for you. He will make a way of escape for you to bear this trial you are going through.

Aquila, I agree with everything said here. I do enjoy the fact that you bring a different perspective to so many things. Even when I don't agree, I believe that a different perspective is usually healthy and needed for real conversation. I will be praying for you as you go through these situations...just remember that you are just going through and that this too shall pass.
God Bless,

I appreciate your posts greatly, and find a lot of common ground with you. Reach out anytime. Also, Facebook is a great way to feel connected. I have become better friends with acquaintances that way.

Hey guys, I know I’m annoying and that I really enjoy a good debate… sometimes too much. But I really do appreciate all of you. I’ve felt real alone in my spiritual walk the past year or so, that’s a long story. Lately I’ve felt like I’m just drifting around here on this forum without any real “friends”, like I just don’t fit in. Maybe I hold some controversial beliefs, but I mean well and I’m not above being mistaken. I need you guys a lot right now. My family is going through some transitions and I’m scared and don’t know what to do. I need someone I can get to know, someone I can open up to, someone that I can feel safe with, someone who will not judge me, but who will tell me the truth while standing by my side. So I had to say this….
I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone. I have a tendency to use strong words and I come off far worse than I intend. Please forgive me.
I also would like to ask if you guys would let me in. Let me into the circle of friends here, even if for just a little bit.
Thanks guys.
God bless.

Bro Chris,
One thing I have learned about the people on AFF is that no matter what the differences are in beliefs, when someone needs prayer-- everyone comes together in agreement. You can rest assured that there will be lots of us praying for you, and God will help you through the transition that you face. Lean on him for strength, and lean on the friends you have at AFF for support because they will be here for you.
Aquila, you've driven me near crazy...lol But I don't hold that against you personally.
Consider me a friend. I like friends who challenge me and make me think.

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message
If I've ever offended any of you, I'm sorry. I can be sharp when in a debate, and I know that I shouldn't be. My bark's worse than my bite. I've been out of line before and if anyone reading this was hurt by me, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Feel free to notify me via PM and I'll apologize personally. I appreciate you guys so much, and in a way I've taken this forum for granted. You're people with feelings... and on occasion I've lost sight of that. I accept that responsibility. I'm sorry and I'll try to do better guys.
My soul followeth hard after thee....Love one another with a pure heart fervently.
