Hello. I'm new here...

[curiousj]

I'm hoping to find some good LIGHT conversation about God. Intensity scares me away. I see a lot of people here advising seekers to start by reading the bible, and while I do understand that thats important, I myself am an hands on learner. I'm looking for real life modern people to help me see how God is in the world/my life, TODAY. I did not do well in history class in high school

I also have attention issues/low patience. Is there anyone or any board or website that puts Christianity in the simplest of terms? Bible Cliff's Notes? LOL

God is...

Welcome to CF!

It might help if you found a good church with a youth program and bible study.

Hi, and

There are intense discussions here and some not so intense. You may want to visit the
Testimonies section or the Exploring Christianity forum.

We also have a Terrific Thirties forum a Community Hangout and for asking question

These might help start you off here. You can always check out the New Posts whenever and see if anything strikes your fancy.

Hello and welcome to CF!

I see Lulav made some forum suggestions, which is good. I could better tell you where NOT to go, as areas I am more familiar with tend to be either intense, or sometimes deep.

I know you said you are more likely to have some trouble reading the Bible, but when you do, the Gospels would be the logical place to start. Generally the Gospel of John is first recommended, and then maybe follow up with Luke, but of the synoptics (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) there isn't that much difference which you choose. Some translations are clearer than others, and some more accurate than others. My preference for easy to understand and accurate would be the EOB, but it's not available to read online and not that easy to find (I ordered mine via an app, as I recall, for a couple of dollars). Probably one of the best compromises among the easily available ones is the NASB. Either way, if you read just a little at a time, maybe a chapter a day, hopefully it would be easier to take in.

Again, welcome to CF, and I pray that you find what you're looking for by way of conversation, and that you're blessed by being here.

Hello and welcome to CF, curiousj. I get the attention issue thing...I myself find it hard to concentrate. Not sure I can help with finding a "simple" answer but, I'll start with this- God is good, fair and Love. If you're willing to open up to God's word, then you'll find time & patience to learn all that's needed.

~Blessings~
