This is the world I live in..we all know each other...we phone each other...we take the
elderly ones to the doc...call each other if a stranger is at their door, shovel their front entrances and walk by 8am.
No adulterers or thieves here. No talk of God...one is pagan, another a gay hairdresser with blue ribbon poodles he shows,
another a nutty frizzy haired, old hippie that sweeps the same area at 5am each morning feeding all the kitties with a flower in her hair.
I don't care about all the adulterers in yous guyes' world.
There;
or whether yous guys think someone else is going to hell.

Tho, this is America so I can do nothing to 'make' you happy, also.
Was that ok to say, Mods...

No talk of God sounds typical .... Still Christians should always say to immoralities put on them and tell these people ``No I cannot do that for I know Jesus and am a Christian `` when People put sin on their table to do so People will know that some people are of Jesus ..... Sure Christians are never to judge others and put them down or curse them but to just get along one to another , and spread the gospel by making others know who you are when chances come up

Well, Miss should have said, "no self-righteous talk of God."

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.

Well, every person knows exactly who I am...lol...back in my Evangelical days I was in the paper a couple times and couldn't shutup about God...I couldn't walk my dog without someone saying hi...and chiming in about their faith, also.
A neighbor after being here 5 years said, "You never told me you were xxxx."
I'm known in the local Art community downtown, luckily it's a big city, ha, so I can get away from that, but the word is out I'm very spiritual...I always have to be on my best behavior...hahahaha...
people coming up to me, saying, "I know you, you're xxxxx."

I get many free lunches with people that want my help or advice, cuz word is out! LOL!
( I pray for people and they get healed thru the Holy Spirit - I didn't say that in the paper lol...and other things, long story, ya can't keep these things secret! Lol! )

('Hey, haven't sold a house sitting there 2 years? Call Miss Hepburn!' Got a lousy marriage, have lunch with MH.. Got a friend in the hospital?)


No one is asking me to partake in bad behavior, hljc.

And people that know who I am suddenly become very nice when they bump into me....like when you do when you're a teen smoking and your pastor walks in...'Oops, hide the smokes!' It's fun to watch.

Gee, I gave quite a background on myself here...

The way you get around that is keep your religion or beliefs to yourself and have fun with them...it's not as if they haven't heard it all already!So now is the time to be happy and helpful. Drop the G bomb subtly as in,
"Wow, did God Grace me yesterday!" That's all ya have to do...then, be yourself, reflecting the peace and joy ya found in God.
They're not stupid. Best not to treat people like they are. ( Not aiming this at you, gabfest)

Btw, helps to put the Ch and verse for people, too, thanks. Matt 10-14


Thanks to everyone that dropped into this thread. xo

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

People are offended by the mere mention of God, so some people find it easier to never even mention it, and instead simply condone/approve everything that happens around them.
