There is no fellowship here

It's a good dream that will probably never come to fruition in this world. Satan will be everywhere Christians are because we are his #1 target. I think we have to just look forward to heaven where it will be exactly what we want and need.

It doesn't have to be that way. In the early church it says it was heaven on earth no one wanted for anything. When children of God get together and address issues and welcome God to that place they can have Heaven on earth. This site should be supporting caring and compassionate, but many people are hear to argue or teach their ideas with out any training to do so.

I wanted to race motorcycles as a kid, I was trained by adult racers on how to do this and i road all the time. It never failed when I was out on ride, one of my friends thought they could ride just as good as me would jump on the motorcycle take off and crash. The funny thing was they always blamed the motorcycle for the crash and not there own skill level. I would tell them how many hours a day you spend riding? Who taught you to ride? They would say I ride for fun and no one. Well i was trained and rode 8 hours day in summer, many times 12 hours a day. People who are not trained in ministry are like my friends who saw a bike jumped on and thought they could ride because it looked easy. The higher the skill the easier it looks, but like my friends they don't understand many things and are unprepared.

I get all kinds of insults when I bring up training. The thing is it is Biblical nobody was a prophet with out training. The fact is there needs to be regulations on teaching or else you get people who are blind leading the Blind.

As Christians, what example have we set to the world in this generation? What possible reason could anybody have to want to learn from us? I've never seen so much pride and arrogance in my life. Our churches have been overrun by false teachers, the remnant are at each others throats over table scraps. The poor and persecuted suffer because of selfishness.

We really hold ourselves up as lights in this generation?

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

Christ hung on a cross and slowly died, while being mocked. I think we can handle a few off comments. It's the least we can do in the name of love.

Thanks but that was on facebook on here they insult me in more indirect ways. You will see being a Christian is very hard, you have many people who claim to be Christians who are not. You can tell them by their unwillingness to love and mocking and insulting of others. Be careful of the wolves in sheep clothing they are some of the most evil people on earth and from the line that murder Christ.

Unfortunately we're increasingly smaller fish in a whirlpool of secularism.

I've found myself, even on here, in fact, especially on here, going toe-to-toe with non-Christians. It can be exhausting. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy conversation without the smallest thing becoming a matter of apologetics, but that's just a part of faith in today's age.

That said, Jesus debated the Pharisees in front of the crowds, so even if the non-Christian you're 'talking to'(Are being talked at by) won't take anything from it, those watching might.

Stand your ground, say what you believe to be true and don't be ashamed for doing so.

Sometimes the seed needs to fall countless time before it misses the rocky ground and land on the fertile soil. It did with me. I was that insufferable know-it-all Atheist that I struggle not to dislike strongly now.

thanks for your post, With God all things are possible. Thank you for the support also, it would be nice if everyone on here could be supportive.

Blue, I thank God for you standing up to falsehood with Truth. Keep up the good fight, brother!

thank you i missed these post. What I have found is there is devil worshipers who stalk these forums and we are the target of there spells and stuff they do. They make false names and pretend to be people they are not. Just to night I met a group of devil worshipers who at first pretended to be atheist after playing along with them I found out they were in fact devil worshipers, surly people will say oh they were playing with you, I tested them to see if they knew stuff devil worshipers would know they did. While so called Christians fight among each other satan children attack.

5 Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them.6 But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception.
