What would happen if you started using your words here to pray for those who persecute, instead of butting heads? A change in the dynamics might bring some incredible results.

No one seems to hearing the statement...I'm talking about HERE.

I'm not talking about your personal prayer time, nor about salvation of others. I'm talking about using this space as a chance to pray for those who ask dishonest questions merely to provoke and poke fun at others. Instead of indulging them, pray for them...here on the site...in your own words. In front of them...

Sounds good when one is being led by the Spirit to do so.
If God is leading you to do this, then it would be a good thing to do, because God maybe wants to use only you for that particular purpose at that particular time.
This happened to me just before this person's profile was suspended.

Sometimes it is not a good idea to " Throw your pearls before swine", because God knows who's heart is hard, or soft and ready.
Jer. 7.16-17
"So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.
Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem"?

We need to be led by the Spirit so as to know when not to waste our time.
Proverbs 26:4
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.
Proverbs 26:5
Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

If a person who says they are a "Christian"lives what he /she preches there would be a change in the dynamics of "Life"whole-heartly.The word of God is what it is.Those who want to beleive it is truth then it is so."Christians"may not and can't quote the word of God in there own way (the bible) is written for both past and future that is why it is split up into two parts the old testment(past)new testment(future.)The word Christian means to be Christ-Like.I don't actually think some Christians understand the whole philospy.How did Jesus live?And when he did live was his ways like ours(humans)there are may statements made in the Bible about how to live your life being Christ-Like.Begginning with The Lords Prayer& the 23rd Psalms....

Those of the Christian Faith do pray, continualy, for all of the lost. For speific needs and for general needs. If a need is known to us we pray for it.
As to butting heads. in the short time I have been perusing these Q&As It has been the non-christians who have initiated the head butting. I have yet to find wher a Christian has attacked any one. most of the words from Christians here seem to be to counter some misconceptions of those doing the headbutting. and many of the misconceptions are quite gross.
I accept email questions from honest seekers about the Christian Faith

Any Christian you know that isnt praying for some one? I pray all the time, many times a day and through out the day, for lots of people and situations and circumstances that are far beyond my control, so they must be left in the HANDS of the LORD, and, even if they "were" in my control, I pray for the LORD'S help anyways, because I want to make "sure" that its the right path way for me..
I wish you well..

Yeah...but you have to remember we are in the internet. You really cant save someone on here, maybe give them some knowledge and wisdom. but....lets be real we should all be working at soup kitchens and helping out the community, feeding the poor, and witnessing to people and stuff. not being online. Im guilty of this too i shouldnt be on here when i could truley be working towards the kingdom of God.

Where do they have a Christian community, there's no such thing
The Jewish, Italians, Spanish, black, and gay to name a few have communities, but Christians can not because they are not a people with the same views and values
You are not a people therefore there is no validation in your belief

Why to christians not recognize and celebrate the love of two gay people who want to get married? I would think they would be supportive of love. Do they think its not love? Then why would they want to get married in the first place. They can already stay home and have sex as much as they want. Would they rather have a gay person not in a committed exclusive relationship?

Wow, what a concept. To pray for and love everyone? Kinda like what Jesus would do!

Then we could all share in your (the christian community) blind insanity. If you did that, I would organize a church for Satan worship. I would desecrate bibles. Your prayers would not work, our atheist minds are too strong for that.

I am trying to do that. Yahoo needs to put an anti-Jesus section so us Christians can ask about what we believe.
