No, just like Faethers this place has proven stronger than you.

why cannot you just let me leave ?? we can part ways peacefully and agree to disagree, it does not have to be so dramatic
It would not be God's way to flee in fear.
Fear not is in The Bible 365 times, one reminder for every day of the year.fleeing in obedience is not the same as fleeing in fear :) 👋
God sees ones intentions, rather than their words. He will know the truth of your fear even better than how obvious it is to onlookers.
How is this not fear?
Which passage is that?
there are several, here is one
Matthew 10:14-15
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.We do receive you and your words though, we just happen to find many of your beliefs blasphemous when put next to The Bible.
Wouldn't saying they must leave where they are not wanted somewhat defeat the purpose of Missionaries?
the problem is that you and most if not all of this community's members are continuing in fornication, meanwhile I am repentant and in remission from fornication and Jesus says to separate from fornicators
2 Timothy 2:22
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
No, Jesus does not want me companying with fornicators I have a fear of the Lord as in I respect him and do not desire to continue in disobedience, but that is the only fear that you could possibly be accurately sensing

Wait, who do you think I'm fucking right now?

Where does he say that?

Fleeing lust is different from avoiding fornicators, this forum is not lusting after you.
Except maybe Waltz.

Did he tell you this directly, or can you quote that?
Jesus hung around with fornicators, that'd make him a hypocrite.
A Sinful Woman Forgiven
One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.
And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,
and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.”
And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”
“A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.”
Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet.
You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”
And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
- Luke 7:36-50

he cleanses the repentant, yes
he did not spend much time around the people who were rejecting his offer of forgiveness of and remission of sinning, other than to point out what they were doing wrong which I did even though ultimately it is the responsibility of the holy spirit to convict people of their sins and not even my own responsibility
his close inner circle were repentant believers, as should mine be
If you are going to try to argue against that then idk what to tell you other than the we are going to have to agree to disagree, and I leave you in peace
well, I am experiencing peace in this decision anyway but I pray for yourself nothing less than peace as well 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊✝️
He led by example by being around the very people who were doing wrong, this means he was not avoiding fornicators.
The idea of Jesus feeling like He needs to avoid anybody is pure projection.
