Honestly, I feel like I'm reading the writings of a cult leader. Self-centered, not listening to what others are saying and just writing endless information that we really have no interest in reading because we're trying to discuss one issue and they just go ahead and blast us with more issues instead of dealing with what we're talking about. Oh - and let's not forget the self-exalting attitude.

TRUTH HURTS HUH?...:tongue3:
TRUTH AND WHAT IT MEANS TO ME
2) TRUTH ABOUT MYSELF. It all starts with being HONEST about ME.
what is your problem?... try and find one contradiction in what I say...don't make claims where there is none
your comprehension is faulty
How about a contradiction in living?
You claim your wife left you?
Why?
Was it your know it all attitude, a moral failure, the inability to play well with others,...
I am not seeking to hurt you, but attempting to figure out how someone can have the attitude you are displaying of one who seems so "puffed up" about their own self.
You have shown there are a few major areas of need in your own life, why not take the problems you have, humble yourself before the Lord, and then come back with posts that actually bring edification.
There are others on this board who have had marriage problems, but it has served to make them more humble before the Lord.

TRUTH AND WHAT IT MEANS TO ME
I was thinking about something I had written earlier and if what I said is true for most, or am I the exception? I said, pretty much “Is it better to stand for TRUTH and what is RIGHT than it is to be LIKED” many would say, (I know I’ve heard it)…. "it is better to be liked." I’m not talking about just what you say, but what you do as well.
Knowing my motto has always been standing up for what is right, even at the cost of something. I don’t mean to be obnoxious about your approach and I know at times I have, but for the most part I would have rather failed in my attempts to do what is right, than to COMPROMISE. As I looked back on why is this so strong for me? Why is this my motto for life and how have these TRUTHS seen me through my life against ALL ODDS? I thought of four reasons (TRUTHS) I always try and go back to over and over again…..
1) TRUTH ABOUT GOD…His word is true. Am I perfect at obeying it all the time? No, but I cannot deny its truth. I may not always understand it, but I know it is ‘BEST” for me.
2) TRUTH ABOUT MYSELF. Think about it, if we do not understand who we are , what we want and where are we going, and why, then how are we going to accomplish God’s will or anything we may desire that He wishes to bestow upon us? We have to go within and be honest with ourselves…what are my faults what are my weaknesses and what can I do to improve them, so I can be all that I can be, who God wants me to be and what would be beneficial to those around me? It all starts with being HONEST about ME.
3) TRUTH ABOUT OTHERS. Wow this one is hard for me sometimes. I need to see others the way God see’s them. (for the most part I try and do this) I must realize that not everyone is like me. They may not want to work on their issues, or they may see things differently, that doesn’t make them wrong or a bad person, they just think differently and are probably more RIGHT brain than I am, and that is the way it works for them. Everyone’s style of learning is different, and so many other factors. I need to also be cautious and know that most are not out for MY best interest, but often times their own. I must be aware of patterns in others that lead to a path I may not want to travel on. So understanding truth about others is very important, so as not to take things so personal, and not to be taken advantage of.
4) TRUTH ABOUT THE ENEMY. I think one of the greatest thief of truth is the Devil, if he can lie to you about God and His word then he really has a hold…he digs even deeper when he lies about WHO you are in Christ that Jesus really loves you, if He really loved you then why so much pain? He LIES about others. His greatest tool is dissension within the body and even outside when we should be different and not easily OFFENDED. Satan is alive and well and we must be aware of this fact.
