This will eventually lead into a question. Many of you have seen my name on here, causing commotion usually. I never meant to cause any problems but somehow did. The way I seen it, most people thought I was trying to argue but that was not true. I was only trying to learn about some things that bothered me. Finally, taking the step to Christianity, even though, I always felt pretty strong in my beliefs towards Jesus, I went ahead with the baptism. The church that my family have joined is a non-denominational Bible church. You come as you are, want to dress up, that is fine, want to wear jeans, that is fine too. The Pastor says we took a step back towards the old days where all that mattered is that you are there.
I'm thinking this forum needs that as well. Spiritwalker84 asked me in a PM why Christians were arguing in the thread about why not to accept Jesus in your heart but less than 10 had offered any help. Even worse, why a Christian would post something like that in a section for Non-Christians is beyond my comprehension. As I have said in other posts, there is too much assuming going on here. Not everyone has read the Bible or even worse are the many who are trying to become Christians and understand then see Christians disputing how Jesus should be worshipped. I understand that everyone has their opinions but the truth for me is that there is no perfect way to worship Jesus, your way may not agree with my way but neither of us are wrong.
A few weeks ago when I had been baptised, someone asked a question here about life, not about the Bible. I offered my opinion and some advice, two hours later my post was removed because I didn't have a Christian icon. The truth being, I had forgot to change it mainly because no one was offering this person any advice and I felt bad for him so I skipped ahead and posted. There should be a new sticky thread put up that says, "Only Non-Christians can start new threads".
If you are missing the big picture here. More Christians answer the posts in the section posted by other Christians than they do the questions from Non-Christians. Is it any wonder that we rarely see a Non-Christian stick around very long on the forum? The real problems in Christianity has nothing to do with the word usage, "accepting Jesus into my heart", it's the Christians that think they know everything that are the problem. One day, we will all realize what a bunch of (insert word of your choice here) we act like.
Three things to remember when you start to post to a Non-Christian, 1. They do not know the Bible. 2. They are not going to hell no more than you are for judging them. 3. They must respect something about Christianity and even more so, Jesus, to ask us questions, now, don't go making Jesus look bad by being a (insert second word of choice here).
I'm sorry to those that are Non-Christians, that you have to read through us Christians arguing about who knows more about how to worship our God. It's really not as hard as most of these answers make it out to be. I forgot my question, oops.
