Do you come here to share God's word?

Question

Or make friends?
Do you come here to bash others, or listen?
Do you come here to answer questions only or ask only?
All of the above?
I come here to share God's word.

I ask questions a lot- but share God's word in doing so- or sometimes I even ask lighthearted questions- but I answer many, sharing the truth of God's word. Because that is the only answer I would give.

Answer 1

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! BY THEIR FRUIT YOU WILL KNOW THEM.

Answer 2

Young friend, you are worried about so many things and trying to do so much. But you are very young in your faith. Jesus did not send out the 12 nor the 72 until they had spent time with him and had been trained in his teachings. The Apostle Paul got in a lot of trouble when he tried preaching immediately after his conversion on the Damascus Road. So he was sent away to Tarsus then spent 13 years in study and prayer in Antioch until the Lord called him to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. You time to share will come soon enough. Now is your time to learn and grow and to be nurtured by believers more mature than yourself. Study God's Word. Read other Christian books and learn the history of the Church. Develop spiritual discipline. Just as importantly, find a church or community of mature Christians who can teach you, guide you, and be examples of Christian living to you. When you are called to the ministry God has for you, you will know and you will be ready.

Answer 3

Pretty much all of the above except to bash others. I come here to communicate with others......to listen, to learn, and to share. God's "word" often comes into an answer, but not always.

Answer 4

I come to this site to share the Word of God. I always try to give a sincere answer. I am a little bashful, so I don't ask questions.

I don't like it when others are condemned for their beliefs.

Answer 5

I come here because of the humourous characters that appear on the R & S section every day. No other section provides such funny characters. I'm sure that's what makes R & S the most visited section.

I come here to see that, ask a couple questions and to make snide comments.

Answer 6

Yahoo Q&A was not set up for, nor was it intended to be a platform for anybody to pitch his personal religious beliefs. It was intended to be a "Clearing House" if you will, between people seeking information about something they wanted to know, and others who might have that information to respond. Naturally enough it was going to gradually extend to comments in the form of questions posted by people who wanted others to know how they felt about this or that issue, and see who agreed or disagreed with them. Like everything else that humans have designed for a particular purpose, Q & A is subject to various types of abuse - even those who want to use it as some kind of free advertising space lol. It is also used to simply turn loose a lot of vitriolic verbosity directed at individuals or groups of individuals that the "hater" wants to spew his hate against.
I would say to anybody with strong religious beliefs of one kind or another, while you hopefully live in a place where you are free to think and believe any way you wish to, without "let or hindrance" as the legal expression goes; it is inappropriate for you to demand that right for yourself, unless you are prepared to defend and protect the SAME rights of all others regardless of how strongly their opinions differ from yours. When you respect that equal right of all other people, and think they should have the freedom of their personal beliefs just as you do, then the way you show that is to get on with YOUR life and YOUR personal beliefs, and leave those people to theirs.

Answer 7

That's nice. I come here to help real people using real knowledge, and not to pretend that my word is that of the Deity himself. If I took on such airs, people might think me arrogant.

I also like to learn what's troubling people by reading questions and answers while sipping an ice cold bottle of Colt 45.

Mmm. Smooth.

Answer 8

Come where?
The bible clearly states do Not ingage in gossip either by listening or speaking.
If two people come together for praise and worship, you should listen, but asking is always good in Sunday School.

Answer 9

I try to catch as many of the honest seekers as I can and make the offer to help if I can... this forum actualy drives off honest seekers when they see how it really is... I am of the True Christian Faith and offer email answers concerning the basics of The Faith to those who do not want to continue to be exposed to the garbage here.... I try not to preach... most are not coming here for that... but honest questions deserve honest answers... and I try as best I can to do that

Answer 10

And if you were any good at it, you would be leading prayer in a church of your own. In other words, nobody wants to hear a 14 year old preach. You might want to learn a little before you start telling others how to live

Answer 11

I come here out of curiousity. Not to share God's word. I had enough of that after 5 years of having it shoved down my throat at a private school.
