I Have a Question

[Yekcidmij]

Has any discussion that has happened in here ever spawned further discussion with say, people in your family or church (eg. through a bible study, sunday school, etc..), or is this room like Las Vegas - what happens here stays here?

Just my curiosity at work here.

Yes, very much so. Sometimes after my pastor is done with his sermon he will ask if anyone has any questions or anything to add. I sometimes ask him for his point of view on a topic that I am dealing with here in the forum.

The last time I did this was just accouple of weeks ago when I asked him for his opinion on Jesus spiritually dying on the cross. Several others were very interested in the topic also and we discussed it a little bit.



Excellent topic for a thread by the way

Mostly like Vegas. Except prostitutes and vagrants aren't welcome here.

Unfortunately, that is true.

Yeah, all the time. I love talking to my dad about stuff I encounter online - we love having theological discussions and debates on here often begin such discussions. I often share with my parents, brothers and sisters something new I learned or some argument I got into. And I mention discussions and people from here often when talking to people. It's a part of my life and I talk about it.

Yes, I discuss lots of things - if I learn something new - my husband and I discuss it or look it up - I forward some of the answers to my daughter or son - I mostly discuss things I learn new.

 

[spiritfilledwoman]

Yes, many of the topics discussed here have made me re-evaluate my beliefs and has challenged me to dig deeper in the scripture.

Actually, I should think that vagrants and prostitutes would be welcomed here. We do claim to be CHRISTians, do we not?

"Which of the two did the will of his father?" They *said, "The first." Jesus *said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.
(Mat 21:31 NASB)

More to the topic....

Just Tuesday night Sunshyne and I spent about 2 and a half hours reconciling Luke 16:16 and 1 Cor 12 & Eph 4 after reading the Apostles & Prophets thread.

Wow, that is the first time in a long time I have heard that people are welcome in a church that are considered the outcasts. I always heard that only well-behaved Christians are allowed anymore, thus no church for me. I don't know enough to keep my mouth shut.


Back to the OP, yes I frequently discuss these topics with my brother. Less frequently this past year since he and his ex-wife are back to spending time with one another and are on the verge of reconcilling after their Christian divorce. [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth], I can't believe I sound so snotty! Anyway, my brother and I love to discuss theology and new things. I actually sent him a link for some great ipod sermons that I thought would fit in without discussions. I got them from being online here on the forum. Actually they are Jimbeaux's sermons. I have sent them around to everyone I could think of that has an appreciation for good sermons and I quite frequently discuss threads with my one friend as well. We love to dig into some subjects a little bit differently than the way the thread is going at that moment.

I wonder what I said that said [wash my mouth]? LOL I don't swear. HONEST!

I'm always discussing CF. I've learned a lot from this site.

Good thread!

Yes, I was being partly facetious. I wouldn't have a problem with that, but this forum might, sadly.

I'm going to be OFFENDED if you didn't send out the link to the podcast of the lesson I did on the vineyardnac.com website "How Much Are We Worth?" Last I looked it was still on there.

I was once asked to speak about this forum at our church, and how God dealt with me to change my posting style, because I was not walking in Love like He wanted me to. That's just one example of how this forum spills over into my real life.

This forum is like a microcosm of society, people of all different ages, beliefs, and backgrounds coming together. There is much to be learned here.
