Hope you don't consider me religious in a negative way, but I would like to ask your opinion on something that happened today.

I am an American but for the last 3 years I have been living in an emerging communist country. There are a few of us foreign Christian who get together on Sundays. Today I hosted because I thought only 3 or 4 of us would be there, but ended up with 12.

The other day I met a guitar playing German bum on the street and invited him to play in the cafe I manage during 'afternoon tea. So today he shows up about 30 minutes before the fellowship so I fed him and asked him if he could play Christian music. He asked if it was the same as 'sacrificing cats for good luck'. I said we don't do that, but we sing.

I gave him the copied pages out of an old hymnal that I planned on us singing and he messed around with it a bit and then joined us upstairs after everyone had arrived. He couldn't follow us at all, but that was ok.

I lead the group and wanted to discuss putting on the 'mature clothing' of a Christian. I got to talking about divine healing and since it was a discussion it was cool when he asked, if I had prayed to Buddha. He was serious.

Beyond the obvious no, how would you have answered his sincere question without taking the entire discussion off course?

I dont no i probobly would of said no and talked to him later about it that is a hard one for me but its awsome that u have a group that meets srry i couldnt give u more info

 

[Deba]

It caught me off guard too. So I just mentioned the Creator God. But I noticed after the service when everyone was eating (I provided dinner for them) that he sat upstairs talking to a German man and wife for quite awhile. So it is probably good that He got a more complete answer in his native language.

When I shared with the native cafe staff that I would be paying for the Christian's meal, The young man shared with me that frequently in the village after church they kill a dog and have a meal together.

A bad day for domestic pets.

 

[nathaniel556]

Haa that would suck to be the dog this is awsome because im called to missions to so the more i get used to the odd the better man that sounds rough they actully kill a dog

 

[Deba]

Since you were speaking about healing.

If he was serious and prays to buddha, issue him a friendly challenge.

Since, we are praying for God to heal, lets do this.

You pray to Buddha for a person to be healed and I will in Jesus Name speak healing to a person and we will see who is God.

Sorry if this is considered off topic.

Hi all,

I only have one golden now she is 11. Our other one got cancer and had to be put down at age 15+ as she was suffering. We still miss her they are wonderful dogs. I was busy all afternoon and couldn't get back here to connect so suppose everyone is in bed asleep now. That is where I intend being in about 4 minutes gg

Hi Nathaniel what are you up to today? It is sunny here yay and after I do all the usual MOM type stuff needed around here I hope to be able to get out and enjoy it.

 

[SavedByGrace3]

We are going to upstate NY for vacation this year.
Adirondacks here we come.

 

[gratefulgrace]

Sounds like fun. I like the east coast of Canada in the Maritimes not sure if it is similar maybe more rugged in Canada. My hubby was watching waves on a rock outcropping at Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia and just as he climbed back up onto the bank a big wave caught and washed the lower rock clean. If he had still been on it he wouldve been in the ocean. This was is 1974. I think they probably have fences now.

 

[nathaniel556]

ive been across the entire canada it was fun
