Bible talk

You know, someone I respected said forums are not the place to share your faith. You'll get ripped apart and it will only cause division. This person said unbelievers will not understand what you're saying anyway and believers of different persuasions will argue their points with you. This person said it will only reflect strife and present a front that Christianity, hence Christ, is weaker than He truly is.

I didn't believe this person. However, after 2 years, I see everything I was warned about, esp. on the "Christianity" forum. My heart aches.

Sad to see that the Christianity forum is not a Christianity forum.

Boy haven't checked this site for awhile. Busy with riding my Silverwing and playing with the grandbabies. I haven't posted much on the Christianty thread. It just seems like they make an argument out of anything and just debate. I get sort of tired of that. I know what I believe. Christ died for my sins, I repented in the early 70's, He saved me and I'm walking it out till he comes again. I'm way past the debating part of my life. I'm just so thankful for God's love and all that he does daily for his children.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NIV) - 24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Hi tolivewithpassion. Good to see you here and welcome.

As for where most Christians live... I'd say all over but most visibly in the south/southeast and central areas of the country.

Hi tolivewithpassion -
That's an interesting question. I'd say God, in His wisdom, has scattered Christians all over.

Hello, I'm a Christian. Where do all the Christians live in the United States? I heard there are lots in Colorado Springs, Idaho and South Carolina.

Greetings, everyone! It's been a while...
Just want to say that I love the way, when you "let go, and let God", He moves into the situation to help. He does it in big ways that are dramatic, and also in small ways day-to-day that we seem to miss, if we're not watching for it. So, practice trust and "letting go".

hello everyone, sorry to say it's 2 am and I am off to bed, I have to teach Sunday school in the morning

Job 37:23 (NIV) - 23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
