why are you laughing though? do you not agree? lol
Lol I'm laughing at/appreciating the passion that your answer contained. Whether I agree depends on what balance your talking about. If its a biblical balance, meaning that our message must also be supported by love and good deeds, then yes (James 2:16). But if its a 'balance' whereby we compromise the word of God so as not to cause offense, then no (Mark 8:28).

of course not. i am all about facing the truth. believe me. my whole testimony is based on my war of "What Is The Truth?"..i went through some serious spiritual torment for 5 years...but i finally found it..(when God revealed Himself to me)

Maybe we need to discuss exactly what is dramatic and crazy (as in the OP) and what is not. Where do we draw the line?

So we should ignore the parts of the bible that say 'go into all the world and preach the gospel' and the part that says 'pray without ceasing'? Following Gods word has nothing to do with 'brownie points', its about giving God the honor and respect He's do. And by the way, whats 'botheress' mean?

there DOES need to be a balance. you go around shooting your mouth at people telling them they are going to hell all the time and they will tune you out cause they dont want to hear it. The is enough negativity in this world, they want to hear good things like blessings and miracles. Lets show some tact people!!! you get someone with a low self esteem, tell them they are not saved and they are damned what makes you think they wont want to end their life right then and there because they see NO HOPE!
We are tobe the light of the world, NOT a crushing hammer destroying all who aint with us!

Exactly. i agree. most of the people i know are screwed up, and need to know the hope that is Jesus (i personally think most people reject God because they are hurting over something, so what they need, IS LOVE)... but yes, I tell them nothing but the truth...with balance...something that i wish was done for me. i also always try to make sure i am very personal with whoever i am talking to, so that they can relate to me/trust me. so that maybe through me, they may begin to allow themselves, to trust God and open their hearts to Him.

Sorry, using big fonts and different colors does nothing to make your point any more clear or agreeable. Just makes me less likely to read what you post at all. Just makes me feel like i'm being yelled at and scolded. So i'm done with this. I'm not your child.

I'm sorry Ugly. I was just trying to be creative is all. Didn't know you thought I was yelling at you or anyone else. But I'm still gonna do it cause it's fun to put different colored words and fonts and stuff.
wait.... this isn't my problem. Everyone knows that if you want to yell at someone over the net you HAVE TO USE YOUR CAPS WITH BIG LINES OF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't remember doing that. :)
you have a good day ugly.

Being a christian is a really wonderfull thing and to have god in our lives is special and we all share unique relationships with god. I think however that its very easy for people to dramatise they christianity, praying every minute of the day and preaching to people isn't going to score you any browny points with god he loves us all equally. Its those sort of people that have given christians a bad reputation in the past, for example if you get a christian preaching to an outsider that they live in a sinfull world and that they will go to hell if they do this or that and that they should turn to god is quite frankly going to give non christians or even christans that are more suttle about they faith is going to make the christian society look like a pack of crazy nutters. I wish people would stop they crazy antics and just follow and believe without all the drama.
Christ went to the cross when he died he died to the Law for us in our stead for none of us before Christ during
Christ and after could ever fill the Law. Not a one so he did it for us and when we come to belief we are freed from the law by the death, but we all still need life and this why he rose the third day and if we follow him then we rise as well after we also die to the Law, born again new life yes that easy just never explained in its simplicity, because man is still trying toearn salvation and adding grace when ever they sin. The curse was taken care of a the death, and we are when we believe to die tothe Law with Christ then rise with him after we die with him, this is waht follow Christ right to his Home Heaven and Love all without condemantion for only if we can all Love as God has Loved us there would be a lot less scuffling and bickering
ASK AND TRUST GOD TO
FILL HIS CUP IN ME FIRST THROUGHCHRIST, AND THEN OITHERS WILL GET NOURISHED FROM THE OVERFLOW
