When I write questions that Christians do not answer to the questions that I ask, but rather give jargon?

Jargon? Let's see what the dictionary says:
jar·gon
1. unintelligible or meaningless talk or writing; gibberish.
2. any talk or writing that one does not understand
Kind of like this question.

Maybe it's the questions you are asking. Are they stupid ones, bashing questions, no-brainers? Those are usually the kind that gets those kinds of answers. There...you have a good answer for your question with no jargon. PEACE!!!

Unfortunately, many very good Christians have not spent enough time trying to learn and understand the theologies of the faith. Many also lack formal training in biblical hermeneutics, so they may misunderstand the full meanings of the texts they frequently quote.
I am not advocating that everyone get degrees in theology, only that they spend some time studying materials outside the scriptures so that their faith will be solidly grounded.

What do you consider jargon? Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. HEAR - Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
2. BELIEVE - In Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
3. REPENT - Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
4. CONFESS CHRIST - 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
5. BE BAPTIZED - Romans 6:3-4 do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
6. CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Jesus said in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

I went back and read some of your questions. I'd say that you got about as many decent answers as the questions I ask. ...BTW, your questions are interesting, and reasonable. And I'm a Christian. :)

I'm Christian and I'm sorry, but your question is rather like jargon itself! I can't understand what you're asking so I can't answer! Sorry!

Have you written your question in a non confrontational manner? If so, most of the Christians here will give good solid answers.

Because people like to give basis of the answer they are about to give, supporting statements and maye a bit of personal experience.

You can't keep a christians mouth shut unless you have unlimited supply of duct tape and superglue.
