Hey, that's just it, we all see through different eyes and that's the point of being here because as christians we have to learn to be in the world...however, not of this world. I think if you have any axe to grind...it's not with ????...but with the Mod. That person has gone through thick and thin with us. I admire anyone who can do that and not go insane.
Now this is complicated because as we see here on curezone and debate greatly about it...there are all sorts of people calling themselves christians. Everyone has their own ideas of what that means apparently.
This is not like going to a denominational church where everyone believes the same and can peacefully worship because there is very little to debate when you believe very similar. As much as I would love for it to be that way even here, I'm afraid it will not be so, unless Jesus comes back all of a sudden.
Of course there are christians that don't believe Jesus is coming back...what then? Hmmmm I don't have a lot to talk about with a person who doesn't believe He is coming back. There are people who do not believe Jesus is God as in the Trinity. I can probably still find things to talk about but at some point scripture is just not going to match what I believe. Some christians believe in a hell for unbelievers and others believe everyone is going to heaven or just die and never live again.
I don't know what every christian believes, but I have to think that God brought them here and myself so we can discuss and slowly learn what God would have us know. Finding that balance between what we read in the bible and what the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to both in His written word and in life in general can be much to debate if we don't have the exact same experiences.
I still have not run into anyone who says that God or a messenger of God as in an angel told them to read their bible. Why was my experience different than someone else? It's because it's my journey...not theirs. Only God knows why I had to be approached that way. I figure it is because I was just that stubborn of an unbeliever. lol
No one, not even the Mod can control this forum completely...especially if God is in control and yet, allowing freewill at the same time. I may not like what I believe are lies about Christ published where I'm writing as well, but I have learned much about how satan has fooled people into believing those lies....and you can't help people if you don't know what the problem is.
I do have a praise to share. I raised my arm high enough to put my hair into a ponytail the other day. I'm so thankful to our dear Savior. :)
