I didnt believe who mattered i just know its not right to say things and have no evidence to support to me. Support it to me and I will share my feelings.

But you can say what you want i dont really care, as to I knew my intentions and so does God. Thats all that really matters.

And this is another thing we forget we are talking to actual humans with feelings and emotions and defferent levels of IQ.

I just couldn't see my self telling someone in real life kick on that common sense.

A lot that I type my brain says some mean things and I erase it knowing I would never speak to a real person that way. It would make me sad hurting someone else just because they believe different.

I have been burdened with a big heart that cares a lot. Sometimes I wish I could be mean in real life but usually I let people walk on me to keep the peace.

Rarly but for good reasons I get pushed to a point to defend myself or others but usually im very relaxed and dont care.

Gird up your loins. People are not always going to be sensitive to our sensibilities.

And deal with the core rather than the periphery.

You are liking and giving credence to what a In your face,loud and proud,no holds barred UNBELIEVER is saying about salvation.............THINK about that.

I fight when necessary or life threatening. And that rarely happens. Usually a kind word will defuse many situations.

Ok then. One more time though....don't spend all your time on the periphery. The CORE is what matters.

And JIMBO43,Peter,stephen63 will always keep you on the periphery. So the CORE(Christ) is passed over.

Faith is an adventure. But you won't be going on any adventure by just talking about it. You've got to get up and go! You can confess until you are blue in the face, but if you don't reach out there and possess what God has given you, you won't have it. Try mixing that confession with possession and you'll see something happen! Just like attitude and action, confession and possession work together. You really can't separate them at all.

God's Way Is the Right Way!
The first thing you have to accept is that God's way is the right way. He established the power of faith, so it works His way, not your way. If you want to see a manifestation of God's power in your life, you have to use faith His way. And that means renewing your mind so that you can start to think more like Him.

You can't live by faith with an unrenewed mind. That's why time in the Word and time with the Lord in prayer is so important. They renew your mind so that you can fully grasp faith. If you don't take time to get to know the Lord, if you don't take time to renew your mind with His Word, then you will find yourself becoming double-minded, going back and forth between doubt and faith. And that's miserable! It isn't faith and it won't bring results!

So do you want to understand how faith really works? Great! Here it is: First you get a good attitude of belief. You believe with your heart until you can see that manifestation on the inside of you. Then, you act on your good attitude of faith by taking opportunities that God gives you. You don't sit around aimlessly waiting.

You act by doing what you can in the natural, believing God through your prayers, actions and speech, and you allow Him to do what He can in the supernatural. Once you really believe and aren't aimlessly waiting (which is attitude without action), once you bring your faith into the now (with attitude and action), then the manifestation of what you've already been seeing with your spirit comes to fruiting in the natural world. In a nutshell, that's faith!

Just trust in Christ for your salvation. We don't even need a nutshell the size of Montana to describe it.

The ingredients to what faith is, is truly important that people see what happens when biblical faith is applied in ones life.

To me it would hold similar to Jesus's disciples. They had faith in Jesus truly believing in salvation that they where able to follow his teachings all the way unto death.

Such a motivational Faith

And that would be the difference and the contention between you and me. I follow His teachings all the way to HIS< HIS death and HIS subsequent LIFE.

Why follow and stop at where it begins. Once you know you have a place in heaven waiting, is it no more important to follow all of his teachings?

Ok a good example of the periphery or the core is at hand.

I am going to stop where it begins. I still have a place in heaven, right?

No one is out to attack you all the time. We just see differently what genuine faith is

I see genuine faith as trusting in Jesus sacrifice and his teachings. The renewing of our mind and the Spirit will move us to act on his teachings.

Just as faith without works is false faith. The works are a by product of genuine faith.

I believe not only the voice crys out but so does the heart.

Attack me? Where did you attack me?

But another example of dealing with the periphery and dancing around the core issue.

You have a great night Brother. Off to bed for me.

No i was saying do not always think someone is out to attack your belief. Some may be just trying to understand.

Goodnight sleep well
