I came to this website for the first time just today to see and read what people were sharing. I can hardly believe my eyes as I have spent about an hour looking at different threads and the questions people are asking. God must just shake his head at how absurd we can be. Questions that have no answers cannot be answered by man so why do we ask? Why do we bother ourselves with things that serve no value? Why do we seek answers to trivial questions that do not bring us any closer to him? Why can't we just trust in him and know all things work together for good those who are called according to his purpose? Why do we question him at each little moment in time? Arguing, bickering, making valueless points, using big words to intimidate others.....I fear I may not be able to remain on this site. I'm way past questioning God and his wisdom at this point in my life. King Solomon learned wisdom. All is vanity.
God Bless all!

You have a lot of that, this much is true. But every now and then there is a real question worth considering, I guess that is why I endure the process.

True.
He writes about mankind in His Word also.
Not just how absurd, but how lost, needing a shepherd, needing a savior.
i.e. life and death, eternal consequences.

A lot don't stay long, that's true. Oh, they are still 'registered' members, but haven't visited in many years, or since they left however long ago.
In one hour, in two days, in three weeks, they leave, often without posting anything at all. Or just a few posts. It varies with each person.

It also depends on the areas you frequent. There are people from all over the world here so yes, it is very diverse.
You could also do what some here do, and just go on the prayer wall to be an encouragement and pray for others.
God bless you

Those who have not been born from above are motivated by their carnal passions. They are wolves in sheep's clothing - pretending to be those who distribute the bread of life, inwardly they seek to devour.

There is not enough fresh meat to satisfy them, so as soon as a newcomer enters, seeking to find out about Christianity, they're pounced on and torn apart. Either as yourself they do not endure to remain or they get turned into bitterness and an adversary. The appetite is insatiable (Proverbs 30:15-16). This is why we need you to remain (1 Timothy 1:3-11, Philippians 2:20-21, Luke 10:2).

If I may offer encouragement, it is Jeremiah 15:19

Therefore thus says Adonai:
“If you return, I will restore you,
you will stand before Me.
If you extract the precious from the worthless,
you will be as My mouth.
Let them turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.

If God's not shaking His head, He's probably laughing at us. Either way, we all have issues in this life. I don't know of anyone who doesn't.
The problem is not all the "issues" in this life.

It is finding anyone who is honest that is so difficult.

God in and through His Word, when trusting Him, gives very clear directions for all the various issues - it is not complicated except by men.

Thank you so very much. This is perfect! Just the word I needed to remind me to choose what the Lord would have me respond to.

Dearest Lord God, please help me to extract the precious from the worthless, here on Christian Forums, as I seek more of you and offer my life experience to others. Amen!

Could you give us an example of what subjects are a waste of time?[/QUOTE]

I did not spend a lot of time yesterday on this site but I was mainly in the areas of Theology. I visited a few minutes in Discussion and Debate. I think I shall stick with Prayer, Praise, Worship, Serving, Compassion, Encouragement, and Laughter. When I first came to the Lord (4 decades ago) he told me I was a Mary and not a Martha.

No area on this website is a "waste of time" if the seeker is truly looking for the Lord to help themselves and/or to help others. If they are just here to toot their own horn, show how holy they are to others or show everyone just how smart they are, then I know the Lord will judge them and their heart, not I.

God Bless all!

Ok, if you don't wan to be specific, I can understand that, and can still get a general idea of what you mean.

Sometimes those things aren't as they may appear, and sometimes, I think they are.

On the big words, I never felt much need to learn words that most people are going to have to look up, hence announce my insecurities to the world, when so many of them are already apparent. :)
