Count it all joy.
"Forgive them Father, for they know not!"
It's a sign that we share the right road...Christ's "narrrow way"!
They tortured Him to death, but he conquered death and the grave!
Christian martyrs have sung as they were murdered for their faith. Let's all sing!!!
Never give up. The roaring lion is toothless! We are more than victors in Christ!!!
Isaiah 41:10
"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand".
Receive a big hug from your brother in Christ...
"m-m-m-m-mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm!"
God LOVES you sister!!! ;-)

Bob, don't agree with your ideology, but like the way you put it forth. You got your point across without being mean-spirited.
When I first came to Yahoo a few months ago, I was grief- stricken over the deaths of several dear loved ones. I was seeking comfort here that I did not find. Instead I was shocked at all the hatred I saw here. In time, my faith has slowly been strengthened as I have carefully considered everyone's beliefs and actions.
When you have found a wonderful product, you want to share it right away with everyone.
But if they don't want it, don't see the need for it, then they shouldn't be pressured. Faith is a product that cannot be forced, only recommended with love.

I feel sad because any hatred or defiance I've seen has often been the result of very real pain that has been inflicted on people by Christians just like you and me.
That this kind of reaction comes forth is a reflection on us; not putting on airs does not require that we judge and dispense cosmic truth as seed upon rock, as hateful lightning bolts to the brows of the unsuspecting.
Sometimes God simply wants you to love someone else, to help them in whatever way they need helping. I've found that speaks far more about my God than my mouth ever can.

I don't think the defiance and hatred is directed at God. It is directed against the arrogant, self pious and hypocritical Christians who go to church on Sunday and sin the remainder of the week. The bible says do not judge lest ye be judged, but you are the first to make judgment upon others. You try to force your opinion upon others and tell them how they must live by your standards or be damned. It seems to be a weakness of all organized religion. More evil has been done in the name of God than all other causes combined. Praise God, but organized religions can go to ****.

Well, by all the silly questions posed by atheists over and over again, it ends up appearing like a waste of time or they're just trying to get Christians upset, but I don't think it will work. Fortunately, I see a lot of Christians asking questions too.
In the extreme cases, it seems like some kind of miracle, like Jesus has separated the goats (atheists) and the sheep (Christians and faithful).
The sheep have gone to church.
The goats have gone to wherever it is they go.

there are some who come here honestly seeking... I try to offer them The Truth... and a place to seek that is honest rather than YA.... that is why I visit here... I have had some good contacts via YA email with honest seekers... and some through my website when I post the address in some of my responces here... many seekers need more information than can be posted here so that is when I offer the email or website as an alternative for them.

Well, my sisters and brothers, and everyone else...I personally do not think that God, Himself is Harmed in any way by anyone...nobody can hurt His feelings...there is no-one who can cause Him to stomp around heaven in anger...names, ridicule, hatered, things of this nature...do not get past the alter of incense to the Throne of the Lord anyway. If the accuser of the brethren, doesn't get Him upset, then how could we, or anyone as people upset Him? These facts remain in my heart and mind continually..therefore..Matt;5:16..all the way! "Peace!" :)

Jas 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
I find that, for the most part, Christians here tell the truth as they know it. We understand fully that this forum is worldly.

I really don't see that much. . .to tell the truth.
It could be worse.
Many people are hurting and lashing out at everyone and everything, Including God.
I just pray that God will show those people the way.
that's all. . . .Live and let live.

What others say or believe has no ramifications on my life. I live my life the best I can and allow others to do the same. I have a full time job just keeping myself on the right road.
