Sorin:
Everybody,

Thank you all for the kind and encouraging words. I know I am a little late to reply but I just didn't know what to say (for once). I've read all the replies I got here and all the PMs too. I was pleasently surprised by everybodies'
warmth and acceptance despite my doubt and all that. I do feel welcomed here still and thus there is really no point in me leaving completely even if I do take a break from the board, or if I don't post anything for a while. Especially something regarding Scripture and God. I think it's best I take some time to contamplate such things before discussing it like I know what I'm talking about. I'm just uncertain about alot of things at the moment and
that's mainly why I took so long to reply.

Take care,
Sorin

Sorin,

  We are all uncertain.  Anyone who says differently is a liar.  If there is no doubt then there is no need for faith.  That is what faith is...trusting even though we are uncertain.

Sorin,

I understand your feelings of "iffyness" completely.  Many times I want to post and don't because I often don't get much in response so I wonder if maybe somehow I'm just "untouchable" or if I'm offending someone.  At times I feel as though I'm walking on eggshells, even if I am walking on the path that was given to me.

The times I do post are usually becuase I'm given a glimpse of something, and I'm hoping someone else will have more insight into what I might be "seeing".  Other than that, I am still in Tarsis so I am not so prolific of a poster.  

Keeping this in mind, I completely agree with prarrydog.  Doubt and uncertainty is a natural state of humanity.  We are all in the flesh and fit for destruction right?  To me, it's like someone claiming that they "Know for sure" that they are chosen.  I just don't see it that way.  How can you know until you either find yourself IN the Lake of Fire, or YOU ARE a part of the Lake of Fire...cleansing your family.  That's why it's not enough to be just called, or chosen.  It's only good enough if you're also FAITHFUL until the end.

Take comfort in the knowledge that whatever  choice you make, it is the will of the Father.  If you need a break from BT, or Ray, or Mike, or just everthing...then do what must be done.  Just remember that the Good Shepherd is waiting and always looking for you, to bring you home.  There's no need to fear afterall.

Do what you must.  You are in my thoughts and prayers   :)
