This yahoo answer forum is fantastic. I love to hear from so many amazing people who are doing his work and will. I know some get aggravated when you say anything and someone will come back and be negative and hurtful and try to put a bad spin on what you say.
I want to encourage you not to fall in that trap.
I know you may feel you could say: "I love flowers" and someone will spew something ugly! Don't give up..God is at work more than we know. There is a blessing as well. Matt 5:11, BLESSED are you when people insult you & persecute you and say all manner of evil because of me. REJOICE..it's a blessing, everytime someone say's something to me "ugly" I know I get blessed..I swear I almost want to write them and say THANK YOU!
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Do you feel the same?

God bless you for not having the fear to speak of his name. He has blessed me in many ways starting with my family. Blessed be the Lord. Amen.

Which Lord are you referring too? If it's the Lord of the bible, then yes we all have experienced His blessings during hurricane Katrina, 9-11, WWII, WWI,starving children in Africa and not to mention the tsunami that wiped out out 250,000 people in Indonesia. We all have so much to be thankful for. Is this what you consider a " bad spin" on things? Cause I didn't create the "bad spin". The Lord of the Bible is the creator, which means your Lord created all of the very things we have to live through everyday, and quite frankly I don't find these actions "mighty" in the least.

Yes, I have experienced God's goodness in so many ways in my life. I even praise Him for all the difficult things in my life which I have encountered, because through those things, I have learned to trust in Jesus so much more. He is a great God, and I am so thankful that I belong to Him.
God blesses those who are persecuted because they live for God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Matthew 5 v 10.
I don't get worried about people's negative comments, after all it is only their opinion. I know God is good, and His desire towards everyone on this planet is good. He wants to save each one, and I am committed to that cause, no matter what people say.

No, i really dont. I think its a tactic. Its almost like you are provoking people to answer you rudely. You know that this wont go over well with unbelievers, so why do it? You are "turning the other cheek" in a prideful and unnessessary way.
If you want to encourage others and be supportive using your christian beliefs, then answer questions showing that support and kindness. Otherwise, dont build your own cross by tempting those to be ugly to you so you can collect on your "blessings."
Its not like they are coupons.
With all respects,

No I have never experienced his blessing. I experience friendships from people I care for and people I do nice things to. I experience good feelings when I act nice and do nice things. When I achieve something positive and when I recognise other people doing positive and nice things. I experience positive feelings when being in nature, by the sea - in fresh air, in company with animals I like - but never a blessing from God.

Thank you SOOOO much! I feel the same way. It is a kind of ministry to me, working with people from all over the world and other religions, as well as encouraging Christians. It forces me to think, as well. I often write under the anointing, and find out things about myself, too.
God bless!

Yes well you posting this here on answers is a refreshing taste of refreshness away from all the insulting questions about Christianity on answers. For those that are actually spreading the word, I agree 100% keep it up and don't let ebil people get to you.

Thanks for the encouragement.
I needed that today. I do get aggrevated from time to time.
There was one atheist in particular who used to be on here all the time, until i started challenging him and his belief (or lack thereof) and he's not on here anymore. I guess maybe I went a little too far.
I have experienced His blessing many many times.
I do feel the same.

Being agnostic, yes I have read about the blessings of Christ according to the Bible and I thank you for your concern over my soul, but you see thats the thing, it's my soul. It isn't yours to save. I am greatful for your prayers if for no other reason than to know others are thinking of me. No I do not accept that Christ died on the cross for my sins, they are mine to bear and mine alone. I take no responsibility for his death. I hope you have a wonderful day, and may your truth guide you to helping others.
