^I am Christian and personally don't beleive the Bible in its entirity. It has been translated so many times by so many different people it has their agendas intermingled. Unless you would learn Ancient Greek or Latin you would really only have the basic concept from the current translations.

Well, then that makes me assume that you want preachiness??? Otherwise you would not have read this thread????? :rolleyes: [/b]
Maybe we all read this thread to try to provide some sincere clarification to you, you know, since you asked.

Yes, because a one sided account of certain events is indeed all one needs.

Just another bit of your writing that contradicts this statement:
Quote:
Like I did say before, I am not here to convert anyone or cram my beliefs down their throats. I am only stating what I believe & try to explain christianity to the people that don't understand it. I think your problem is that you are TOO educated, & you simply miss the simple facts of life.
Despite the fact that you think someone can be 'TOO educated', You've also stated that you're trying to 'explain christianity to the people that don't understand it.' I think many of the people here have proven they know more of your Christianity than you (who has proclaimed herself a Christian!) and do not need your explanation.

By explaining Christianity to those who obviously know more about it than you, aren't you adding to the fact that they're 'TOO educated'?

hmmmm........ It sounds like some one needs to invest in a dictionary
I think aside from looking up "convert" and "testify" perhaps "tool" should be looked up as well. Sorry, was that snarky? wink

No, it sounds like you need to learn what the hell you're talking about. Testifying or witnessing is an active attempt at conversion. It is singing praisees of the lord as a means to try and save people.
Clearly, you're the worst (and most hilarious) born again any of us have ever dealt with. When I have a little more time, aborn, I'll sit down and type out what your requirements as a born-again are.

My son knows how people are. My husband is a complete atheist or maybe there is even another word to describe him that I don't know about yet, & there are also many people in my family who are not christians, & he knows that too. He understands why he doesn't go to school, & he understands the whole easter / santa thing.
Let me just say this with compassion from the bottom of my heart...I hurt for your husband and kids. And another question...what the hell kind of home-schooling is that child enduring if you, who don't know jack about things like "social studies" and "all that history" are teaching him??? You're doing that child a HUGE disservice, and you need to get him into public school pronto, before his little sponge-like brain is overflowing with your whacked ass ideals.

Aborn, now you have offended me as both a person and a mother.How dare you say that I and my children ar damned and will fry in hell if I do not believe in Jesus? I am really put off by that comment.

I am lucky to live here. It is a nice town. If you saw the first Simple Life that was my town. If they can accept Paris Hilton I am sure everyone is welcome. Our Mayors family owns one of the local wineries.We have one cop and he is told by the Mayor not to ticket people as we are a tourist town and have no quotas.Look the town up online. It is called Altus. I really like it.

Blackrayne, I like many other Non-Christians do not celbrate Christmas and Easter. I do not feel my kids miss out on anything.

Aborn you would really hate my husband.He has never read the Bible. He says he can not stand bad fiction.
He thought The Passion of the Christ was a great comedy.

Now girls that is him not me so please don't get mad at me for his beliefs.

Queenanka,

If all Christians were as articulate and intelligent as you, people wouldn't get their backs up at the merest whiff of Christianity so much.

Thanks for being an exception -- even if you are the exception that proves the rule. love

-Kieran
