Topic : Christian Discussion on Understanding

Quote From: meviperchic

 I will always believe that, when my uncle was born back in the 40s he was born with with down syndrom (my granny never would agree to that) but we all knew and loved him tremendously and by the time he was 11 he got polio twice and coulnd't walk or talk ...and the drs said he would not live to be 14, well he did not die till he was 47.......it was so great having him in our family even though he could not talk or walk he was a great hugger and he loved seeing us kids and he could sure laugh which he did all the time....even though he had all these problems he was the happiest person I knew and he helped me learn so much about disabled people and about being happy no matter what cause things could always be worse....another thing my mom always said to me was that God never gives you more than you can handle....even though it seems like there is alot to handle sometimes I do believe that......Have a good day....

Well like I said, my faith, beliefs and my God isn't up for debate so for me personlly it's just a waste of my time over there. and I am finding that out on a lot of debate subjects, I didn;t realize until I started getting on these boards on how judgemental women/mom's can be, quite sad actually but that's another subject/board,LOL.

That wouldn't surprise me about the abstince thing, and they wonder why parents are not wanting to use the public school system, it's becoming more political then education and we are pulling our kids right into it. If it isn't politically correct, then it must be wrong, blah! I will continue to teach biblical values and Christian teachings to my children and I will make sure that the teachings within my home are backed up within their education, for now, My oldest is in a small Christian school within our own denomination and all is going well, but I would not hesitate to pull her out and start homeschooling if I felt that the school was there to demean me as a parent. 911, well, I honeslty don't know what to say there really, but whatever the case, we do need to pull together as a Country and nation to stop acts like this, we may not be able to stop it 100% but surely, security can be tight and 100% effort put forth to keep people safe.

And we have to remember that so much has been prophesied int he scriptures, I think it is possible for things to shape up and all, and I beleive that we as citizens need to everything in our power to make things as right as they can be but yet at the same time, eventually, things are not gonna be pretty at all and for those of us who know our Father in Heaven and are striving to stay within his plan and will, will most definetly reap the good which is another reason to let our light shine, be Christ with our actions, not just our words, we need to be open and allow him to speak through us and not get caught up in "debating" the ways of the world, we may be in the world and imperfect but we do nt have to do as others and we have a God who will guide and direct us, even when we do fail, Better to have him backing me up then some politically correct thinking minds.

Soap box? LOL, I htink we all have them, LOLLLLL

It is no secret that Christians are only welcomed on debate boards to have someone to tear into.

 

Hey! You noticed that too. I don't understand how people get so ruffled when you tell them Jesus loves them and forgives their sin and died for them. He's the good guy and they get all bent out of shape over that. I love discussing religion but on the religious debate board it gets hard because I don't think most people there have a genuine interest in Christianity when they start drilling you with questions. Rather it is more like an interrogation and they are doing everything they can to find fault with something you say.

 

You gotta love em anyway though. ;-)

You think THAT makes people ruffled?

And what is with the persecution complex? That is something I'd like understanding on. LOL...Like I said, Marie has the nerve to answer the questions, admit when she doesn't have an answer and doesn't gloat when she's "right" about something. It's her demeanor that makes the difference. Cheryl too, for the most part is a good example of this too. So is Fredi. So it's not a Christian thing...ok?

"I don't think most people there have a genuine interest in Christianity when they start drilling you with questions. Rather it is more like an interrogation and they are doing everything they can to find fault with something you say."

It's a genuine interest for me. Those questions I ask I really want answers to, because I don't get some things, and other things I don't get how others can truly believe it.

I would say if your religion is correct it could stand the test of questions.

Christianity isn't outside being questions and scrutinized.
