if your a Christian why are you in the R&S boards so much?

Question

i mean it, there's only so many real questions on here, most are people just trying to egg you on, or spread there opinion, making statements w/ "?" at the end, i know a few people need to say "but God says ..." and the like,

but wouldn't it be better to be out and about, on other boards sharing what you know from a Christian perspective, or at least to be networking w/ non-Christians, i mean really people, YA has hordes coming from all over the planet, what an opportunity, be real, be your self, be out there,

i don't mean shout Jesus at every question, but be real, be the person Jesus made you to be, and pour in to others, that what makes this sit work God talks about all kind of things, everything really can be, at least in principal, found in the Bible it’s not just a religious book.

Thank you all for your honest and heartfelt answers, my apologies for not being able to contact you all sooner, as I do not use the web on the weekend.

However, I think a few things may need to be clarified, as there was some confusion in the A’s, I feel. (and to somewhat understandable so, I apologize for the poor grammar, particularly in the last paragraph)

1. I was not asking to turn the R&S board more secular, or void it of Christian influence.
2. I was asking for Christians to spread there influence around some more
3. what I was asking had nothing to do w/ rules or rights but responsibility, we have all been blessed with talents and interests out side of theology, we as Christians have a responsibility to use those gifts to connect with people and bring them in to a growing relationship with God.
4. the other intent of this question was just to raise the question, to maybe have you ponder, and in that pondering the very nature of God and his will for your day, and if I do anything that helps some one do that, well I see value in that day if for nothing else

some shoutouts:
Christopher s: funny!
SeeTheLight: you may want to check your work visa, being a L6 and only having a 4% approval rating might tell you your not communicating well, posting is easy, communicating is hard
st_louis_cardsfan: faith should be fun, but it’s no game
curiouscanadian: good for you, some balance in your life, and enough self understanding to know your limits. Oh, and I was well brought up, my mom was a st. 4 kids by her self. But a lot of who I am today has come in, in latter life, but I’ll msg you
m☺☺nie l☺☺nie: I’m not here so much, I float around the place, “diversions, and good works” that sounds like terrible reasons to be communicating, or living for that matter.
dreamdress2,,,, their’s sinners aplenty every where

I’m not trying to attack any one, just share some perspective

Answer 1

true

Answer 2

I like to come to R&S for a few reasons:

1.) It shows me what people are really thinking. A lot of times people won't say stuff to your face, but they'll type it on here in a heartbeat.

2.) It sharpens my sword, so to speak. There have been questions posed that really got me thinking and I had to dig and study to find out the answers of what I believed and why I believed it.

3.) I learn a lot about other faiths from the questions and "statements with a '?'" posted here.

Answer 3

You go where the sinners are. If just one person listens,,then it is worth all that time. Who's to say, that the one speaking out the loudest on here,,,,doesn't have uncertainty when he no longer has his audience to laugh at his mockery....all alone in the night,,,maybe he thinks about some of the things he has read and gets a Bible..

We were all sinners before we got saved....someone, somewhere planted a seed of doubt in our minds and we ended up finding God..It happens every day...so why do I come here? For that one person who will listen...to sow one seed...let someone else water it....that's why.

Answer 4

I am on here to both teach and to minister. There are so many lost souls on here as well as those who are searching but not finding truth. I wade into the waters here hoping only to be a beacon that points to the Lord of Hosts and help all struggl;ing to get to His safe keeping. I post teachings on my Yahoo 360 site and am always willing to talk when i can to whomever. As long as there are people using this service, there will be people needing Jesus.

Answer 5

Why does it matter to you where we are or what we are doing?

As long as we are giving our honest heartfelt opinions about God and other religions, does it really matter why we are here?

And what makes you think that we don't go to other Boards? You float around from Board to Board and other websites too don't you? Then why wouldn't we?

Stop being so judgmental of us and concentrate more on your own house.

Answer 6

I go on several boards and try to lead people to the truth. Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and the life. And so I am here a lot trying to correct those that oppose themselves as Paul said. Those who professing themselves to be wise have become fools.

Answer 7

To tell you the truth I usually sign in on the culture and society page but that quickly turns in to R & S questions. I get a bit sick of answering pregnancy and parenting questions and a bit awkward answering singles and dating questions although I have tried. Perhaps you could suggest an alternative to R & S for me - I would really appreciate it! Thanks! By the way you sound really well brought up!

Answer 8

I agree there is a lot of arrogant fools on here that just want to smart-off, because they "think" they are so educated (and they are by the worlds standards) But there are some that have real questions and are seeking real answers. THOSE I CAN HELP.

Answer 9

Tim,
Thank you for making this statement but it is not necessary for me. I spend a lot of time in other sections. Primarily in three other sections but I also move around a lot when I am here. Have a wonderful weekend and a glorious LORD'S DAY!
Thanks,
Eds

Answer 10

I love answering questions about the bible. That's why I'm here.

Answer 11

and so why are you?
because it's not illegal to be
and we need small diversions in life
people can't do what you said all the time
as long as they do good and not just do the talking
