Colleen, thank you an avowed non religious person, for correcting Christians about what a true Christian is and doing it with Christian love, grace, and gentleness. Can you by chance give me the source of your statements so we can learn from you?
Actually, everything you have stated about us is also true of the opposite side. I can agree to disagree, however, when one poster calls me a moron and nuts, another questions my common sense, and still others have come to a Christian board to attack our beliefs; you want us to roll over and play dead? When pigs fly and cows jump over the moon!
1 Peter 3:13-16
13 And who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, 15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; 16 and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. NAS
By starting this discussion Greg challenged us to give an account for the hope this in us; and Delphi, Olopho, and you have given us cause to continue to "defend" our faith.
You have the right to believe what you choose, live the way you choose, and think the way you choose; however, you do not have the right to come to a private message board and tell us how to run it, as Delphi has attempted to do.
