tell me what's wrong with my grammar

well thanks for the Grammar lessons, I was in a hurry sorry.. It's good to learn something everyday..

but I don't see any good answers..

Answer 1

When I was growing up in a Christian home, I tried my best to be a Christian and believe and "feel" what I was supposed to feel. It never happened. I thought something was wrong with me ... until I discovered a whole new world of beliefs out there. I studied many other belief systems and *finally* found one that answered all the questions I'd always had. Now I truly feel the presence of God and feel uplifted. I never felt this way when I was trying to be a Christian. Yes, I gave it my all, but it didn't "take."

Answer 2

When I experienced, it wasn't anything like the Bible or ANY religion ever explained it. What I experienced does not leave me without answers, to only quote a book at people in response. I also have a lot more respect for others and life in general than I ever did as a Christian. My family life is a thousand times better. I don't want or need for anything. Religion (Christianity is included here) didn't give me anything but a lot of BS to contend with. I ended up bitter and hateful. I didn't respect myself, let alone anyone else. My family life was one huge argument, usually over something really stupid.

I didn't decide to leave Christianity. I didn't wake up one day and say "Ya know, this just isn't working for me... I'll switch religions". Actually, it was a gradual thing. I slowly quit going to church, but took up study groups in my area. Finally, when the study groups grew boring, sounding more like wanna-be preachers droning on and on over one or two verses to uphold an entire doctrine, I started doing serious study on my own. After a few years, and a few churches kicking me out, I gave up religion all together and started seeking out True Spiritual things. What you read in a book is NOT Spiritual. It's another persons explanation of what they see as spiritual. Reading another persons experience in a book (or newspaper or seeing it on TV) doesn't make you an eyewitness... it doesn't give you the understanding of that experience... and it certainly doesn't mean you experienced it yourself.

So, if I were to go into detail about my personal experiences, I'm sure you would say the same thing other Christians have said. "It's Satan". So, for someone like me, it doesn't really matter what your opinion of my experience is... or if you can't understand why someone could once be a Christian and then later leave. (But you telling them to commit suicide is a weird twist to the whole scenario... it does not say that......) Actually, it states, it would be better for you if you had NOT come than it will be for you if you leave..... Kind of blows the whole "Once saved only saved" doctrine as well..... But it doesn't tell you to kill yourself. Geez.

Answer 3

Since you asked; your grammatical errors in order.

1) All as the second word in a sentence and not a proper noun should not be capitalized.

2) whor should be who're

3) Well should be capitalized since it id the beginning on a sentence.

4) Any number under 10 should be typed out (five, not 5)

5) I is always capitalized in English

6) etc. only needs to be used once in a sentence

7) My (in the second paragraph) should be capitalized.

8) The corrected second "paragraph" should be "My question for you is:"

9) Have should be capitalized as the beginning of a sentence.

10 & 11) Experience should be experienced (no capitalization of a word in the middle of a sentence unless it's a proper noun)

12) have should have been capitalized

13) "you guys" is not proper English, should be you.

14) did should be capitalized

15) had should be capitalized

16) Cross should not be capitalized

17) only one question make is used to conclude a sentence

18) don't should be capitalized

19) cuZ is not an English word

20) bible should be capitalized

21) there should be a comma after "if you do that"

Oh and there is no god so stop it....

Answer 4

Yes, actually, I did have the whole Given to the Spirit and Followed Christ to Calvary experience. I actually had a vision of standing the Pan de Via (Road of Life) and staring up at him and Hm looking me square in the eyes and silently mouthing the words, "I'm doing it for YOU." I wasn't a Christian just because I went to church. I was a Christian because I had a personal, living relationship with Christ Jesus.

In another instance, at a retreat I attended, we were going into the church and I was the last one to come through the door and the music had already started playing -- I heard two chords of it and recognized the piece instantly even though I'd only heard it once, four years prior, and I literally collapsed to the floor utterly convicted of my sins, knowing in perfect detail each and every time I drove the nails even a little bit deeper into His perfect wrists and ankles. I'm told I was out cold the entire duration of the song but I was still there and aware of it.

Of course, I now understand the naturalistic origins of such occurances, so see no reason to continue to ascribe the religious meaning to it that I once did and understand that Jesus was not in fact the Messiah, nor is there a deity at all by any name.

Of course you don't see any good answers. None of us are telling you what you want to hear. You've asked a question whose answer is diametrically opposed to your beliefs. You want answers that explain why we've returned to christ, but your question is why we left in the first place. You do this every single time you ask a question -- you complain you're not getting a good answer.

Why don't you try telling us what you would consider a good answer then? Hm? Is there even such a thing? Can you conceive of even one answer that actually answers the question you've asked that you would consider good?

Answer 5

See that little "Check Spelling" link in the upper right-hand corner? You might consider using it.

Anyway, to answer your question...

I won't say that I blindly followed Christ, but I did try to live by His parables. It didn't work out too well for me. I was dragged into a fight I didn't start, but when I turned the other cheek, they blackened that eye, as well. I often asked God to speak to me in a form I could understand, but He never did. I asked why evil was permitted to run rampant in the world, but no answers ever came.

I asked religious leaders about these and other concerns, including contradictions in the Bible, but none of them could provide me with satisfactory answers. So I went searching. I was exploring several different religions when I found Wicca.

The values and beliefs were very close to beliefs I had always held to be true. I spent several years exploring Wicca before I finally declared myself a Wiccan. On that day, I aksed the god and goddess for a sign that they were there. I walked outside and saw a quadruple rainbow in the sky. Can't ask for a clearer sign than that.

EDIT: What's wrong with your grammar? Do you mean, besides the misspelled words, lack of capitalization, and general poor sentence structure?

Answer 6

On the contrary- I had previously believed just as you do all about the whole God/Jesus thing. It took repeated, constant disappointment by your deity to convince me that I didn't want any part of Christianity in ANY of its forms.

So it was your own Christian dogma, warped and twisted by its Christian followers that turned me away. It was your God's complete and total disassociation with anything else in the world that convinced me he didn't exist after all.

Nice argument, by the way. You are no different from the other Christians that say, "God is the way, but only if you never consider anything else. Believe as I do or DIE!"

Answer 7

I'm not going to dignify this post with a long-winded explanation of my reasons for leaving Christianity, but I will say this:

My uncle is a retired minister.

My mother was a church secretary for 20 years.

I attended church every Sunday until my late teens and spent many Sundays as an altar girl lighting the candles.

While I was in college my church would invite me to come sing solos during service.

I know enough about Christianity to know it isn't my path.

Now a question for you - why do you ask questions of us when you aren't really interested in hearing what we have to say but just want to preach? What is the point in that besides wasting our time? And your spelling and use of sentence structure is atrocious. Sentences ALWAYS begin with a capital letter, and last time I check, "Christ" was a proper name.

Answer 8

i was raised in a christian school from k-11th. the more i read the bible the less sense it made, any questions i asked basically outcased me from the class. as i researched it on my own time i found more errors and contradictions, i find out ive been lied to by the church in multiple occasions, they have many false claims. and god doesnt have "work" in anyones life. if god did work in your life, everything we have we have earned ourselves. take for instance someoen told me that they needed money and prayed, then got a raise at work. most people get raises at work, and most people dont need to pray for them, usually u get a raise after being there for a certain amount of time and showing your capable of holding to your responsibilities. it would be an answered prayer if that person didnt actually work, just kicked back and did nothing, made enemies at the office and then got a raise, then itd be a bit more believable. all your prayers ans "signs" are nothing more then mere probabilities.

Answer 9

See, if you leave Christanity, then you don't believe in the Bible's one holy truth anymore. In my religion, I don't have to worry about going to hell, because there is no hell. I don't have to worry about not following the Bible, because I don't believe in the Bible as the word of a smiteful God.

Yes, I've experienced God's work in my life. I have recieved the Holy Spirit. I just call them different names and follow a few different guidlines, the ones that seem most right in my heart.

Christianity is one of the few world religions that preach that if you don't believe that one religion, you will rot in eternity. All other religions are open to other religions. There are many paths to God, just be on one.

I'll find God my way. You find God yours.

Answer 10

I virtually hate to assert this because it receives suggested a lot. yet... do not decide Christ with techniques from a foul church or denomination! The Christian faith isn't sexist- mostly, that is open to all and leaves none out. God has promised he will pour out His Spirit on ALL flesh, little children alike. My church (nondenominational) incorporates human beings of each and every conceivable history. we are also a "come as you're" church; frequently the in elementary words human beings you word dressed up are first time travelers. Even our pastor wears jeans. this is not that we do not recognize the church because the residing house of God. that is that lets by no skill opt for absolutely everyone strolling in off the line to experience awkward or unwelcome or differentiated from absolutely everyone else. somewhat the Bible tells us that God isn't any respecter of persons, meaning He does not fee one human being over yet another on the theory of seems, wealth, history, etc. a real Christian is, only, someone who has given his or her existence to Jesus Christ and is attempting to become as very comparable to Christ as plausible. that is a sluggish procedure, and we make a lot of missteps alongside the way. yet He suggested: "Love one yet another. with techniques from this human beings will comprehend that you're Mine." we are out right here. God bless you sister. those that throw hindrances interior the route of God's toddlers will answer for it.
