I've said it before that when standards are spoken of, it's the men who do most of the posting on both sides. I think they are obsessed with women's standards!!! LOL!

Delta and I are discussing this... and we can work through the conversation just fine. We don't always see eye to eye on some things, but we can disagree and still keep it civil.

Bristling?

I love you Randy, but I don't think you have a clue. How about a path of discovery of God, that He is not nearly as hung up on the small things as men are??

Do you guys realize how this attitude puts pressure on people to conform and act a certain way so as to be spiritual? Does a powerful move of God have to be accompanied by extreme fits of emotion?

Im just trying to clear this up, Delta. I think there a bit of a disconnect in what we're both saying... even though in some ways we're not that far off -- just looking at different sides of the same coin.

My response was simply based on your choice of words, and the angle you seemed to be focusing on. I understand you're saying a move of God does not have to have a lot of emotion. I definitely understand that.

In your posts (in response to what I Randy and I had been saying) implies that for a person to seek a move of God puts pressure on people to conform a certain way (again, your assumption, because i said/implied no such thing)

Then your question about does having a move of God not having to be accompanied by extreme fits of emotion...

But nobody said anything about "extreme fits of emotion". Youre the one putting that in there. We aready know that you dont need to have "extreme fits of emotion" for the move of God to be in the house.

But for you to keep making references to (your words "manufacturing" stuff that's "not needed", and putting "pressure on people to conform and act a certain way", and "extreme fits of emotion" the underlying tone of your comments comes across as rather negative toward those who seek "a move of God".

My point was that to automatically start referring to those aspects when we (Randy and I )were making references to a "move of God" (which can take many forms) comes across as if to assume that people are depending too much on "extreme emotion" when seeking such a move... but that's something not in any way implied by what Randy or I were originally talking about.

Just trying to clear this up here.
Hope that makes sense.

That sure seems to be the case! And, I think women should be wondering why they are the focus of so much male attention. Then, I think many Muslim ladies have often wondered the same thing, concerning themselves.

Sure, because they don't have to keep them.

Jesus spoke about this in Matthew 23:2-3 when he said that the Pharisees bind (require) heavy burdens and grievous to be borne... but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers

Love ya bro! I guess this is why there are not many licensed ministers on forums such as this one, contending for their own point(s) of view?

But, I remember the "discussions" on the old Pastor's Forum. No wonder we just witnessed yet another Oneness organizational split! <sigh>

Especially the KEEP SILENCE! part. Now do your part.

As one minister said while he was talking about women not being allowed to say anything in church:

"one toot and you're out" (but the way he said out rhymed with toot)
