    I believe that Christians are deceptive.

    Bible says vs what Christians actually believe: ======================================================= Christians will likely have explanations for all of the following places that they deviate from the Bible text. Feel free but I've probably seen them before. And I've also heard Bible...

    I believe that Christians are deceptive.

    For sure the Bible is not an easy quick read. But it's not a huge book -- I've seen novels larger than it is. It took me about 7 or 8 months of reading some each day to get through it cover to cover. Churchs often have 'read through the Bible in a year' programs. It's not trivial to...

    I believe that Christians are deceptive.

    It is legitimate to compare peoples actions versus what they say about themselves. None of us are perfect and I don't expect perfection but what a person says about themselves ought to reasonably match how they actually are. And if it doesn't, it is legitimate to call it out. I think you...

    I believe that Christians are deceptive.

    I would like to hear if there is any justification (or not) for a Bible believing Christian to not read the whole Bible and follow what it says. I have a harsh view of Bible believing Christians on this particular point (and some other points too). Yet, I think from a *personal* standpoint...

    I believe that Christians are deceptive.

    --- In terms of adding something to the discussion, yes, I believe adding in my own, non-believing two cents is adding to the discussion. --- I appreciate the support (I really do) but to keep the thread as focused as possible, I would like to hear responses from only Christians who consider...

    I believe that Christians are deceptive.

    Been a while since I've been on here. I've always had a hard time with Christianity and religion in general.... I don't consider myself to be a Christian anymore. I probably never was although I spent some years involved with it. My observations and analysis has led me to a harsh...

    Seeking Icelandic penpal

    Hello, I have a nephew who is in prison. He is interested in Iceland and has been trying to learn the Icelandic language. He already understands rudimentary Icelandic but it would help him learn if he could periodically coorespond with someone in Icelandic. So I told him I would see...

    Gossip question?

    Some of you haven't understood what I wrote.... This is an incident that happened in the past. It's been over and done for several years now. It is not my current situation. My question here was in regard to whether my discussions regarding this issue and this woman with my accountability...

    Gossip question?

    I initially did not tell my wife about it. I thought I could deal with it on my own and I count that as one of my mistakes in that issue. If it had just been a passing thing that went away quickly (as I thought it would...), maybe it would have worked out best just to tell no one at all. But...

    Gossip question?

    I should clarify this isn't happening right now.. It was something that happened a while back. I did tell my accountability partner that I thought she was flirting and maybe had feelings for me but I didn't feel right when i was telling him. It seemed wrong to say something negative like...

    Gossip question?

    Lets say I think a woman at church is flirting with me and I also think she may have some feelings for me. I don't know that for sure but I'm attracted to her and this is a struggle for me. (We are both married persons so this attraction is a wrong thing...). My accountability partner knows...

    Best time for wildflowers around San Antonio.

    Hi, I hope this is not too goofy a topic... I plan to take my Mom to visit a relative in San Antonio this spring and we would like to be there at a good time to see the spring wildflowers around that area. Can any of you in that area give me some pointers? I'm in Phoenix...

    How would you handle a "too friendly" situation?

    This is written from guys perspective but women answers are welcome also .... Say you and your wife are in a church group and in that group is a woman. This woman is very friendly to you. Sometimes she's friendly in ways that leave you wondering whether she intends more than just...

    Anger towards certain Christians...

    Hi, I have similar feelings regarding other Christians. Part of me loves them, part of me hates them. I just ignore them when they get that way and if I can't do that, I seperate myself from them. There isn't much point in ranting or arguing. I understand your anger though.

    Arizona!

    Hi, I'm a zonie too. I'm in the east valley area. I've lived here all my life and it has been pretty good but it's gotten too congested.... I hope to move to a rural area in New Mexico in a few years.
