DO YOU ENJOY PUTTING WORDS IN OTHERS' FINGERS?

HE has been the one to define, set up, facilitate, woo, etc. etc. a dialogue, a relationship with me. I'm not about to tarnish that by even pretending HE's a disingenuous trickster only pretending to have a meaningful dialogue, dance, RELATIONSHIP with me.

You tarnish it when you say your will is stronger than His grace

I SAID NOTHING OF THE KIND.
I IMPLIED NOTHING OF THE KIND
I MEANT NOTHING OF THE KIND.
I WANTED NOTHING OF THE KIND.

I don't enjoy you putting such grossly inaccurate words in my fingers.

I am sorry you think that a right relationship between the King of Kings and the LORD of LORDS with you is for you to be in control of the 'relationship'

I SAID NOTHING OF THE KIND.
I IMPLIED NOTHING OF THE KIND.
I MEANT NOTHING OF THE KIND.
I WANTED NOTHING OF THE KIND.

Luk 5:8 When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

I wonder if you've ever had an experience similar to the Old Testament prophet who saw Him high and lifted up . . . and knew to the depths of his last subatomic particle that he was a man of unclean lips. Oh, I forgot, of course you haven't. YOU don't ALLOW God to facilitate His relationship with you through dramatic, supernatural or any other kind of experience except the experience of pontificating about words printed on a page.

In any case, IF you'd ever had such an experience, perhaps you'd have begun to comprehend some hint of my attitude and stance before my Lord and God. Until then, your ignorance is grossly showing. It's amazing how much you presume about me. I suspect you presume similarly about God. Yet you accuse me. Fascinating. THAT is the correct attitude...not "let me tell you what I think God".... YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW LESS THAN ZILCH ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. Only one can be Lord..eithor Him or you

PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I DARE NOT INSULT HIS DESIGN OF OUR RELATIONSHIP BY EVEN BEGINNING TO CONSTRUE IT AS YOU DO. And here I thought you could at least have some perceptiveness and discernment about me. Boy was I wrong . . . dreadfully and shockingly wrong. But then given how you construe your relationship with God, perhaps I need to extend more grace as it is likely you are relationship challenged.

You are wrong I fell on my face in front of a Holy God..and what I knew then , but took me years to admit, it was ALL Him

When you says "relationship" do you mean you mean that 1) you can refuse anything that God has planned? 2) That you can manipulate or change Gods will or plan with your prayers

Relationship has to be in proper order...the order between God and man is creator and creature...King and subject...Lord and servant...it is not a co equal relationship...do you agree?

I experienced ecstasy unexpectedly once, while praying with a group of saints in English at bible study. One smidgen of that heavenly bread lasts a lifetime. If someone has never had it, you can't tell them what it's like. It happens. If they are like Thomas -- there's nothing you can say to them.
