I use to think this stuff on here was a waste ot time. I don't anymore. Even though we will never agree to most of our differences here are still some great gains.
1. You causing me look up Bible verses .
2. Non believers who read are getting scriptures sown in their heart.
3. For us who are prone to surf the web into dark domains you are help keeping our minds stimulated in a good thing.
4. I have flat out made some friends on here which are just as close as family and they are not even of my denomination some are Baptist , Church of Christ and Pentecostal. That is neat.
5. And I am learning some...some things I realized have been traditions handed down by men and some are solidified ,as yes ,you are right on in this area.
I tried leaving once....I can't .You ALL are like family.All of you even the ones who don't much care for me God has put you in my life and you hav ecaused growth as well. Thanks all for being part of my life.
Love Chuck
Thanks for NOT leaving, I enjoy reading your post, although I dont post in this section I enjoy reading everybodys posts/opinions. Sometimes it gets rough but it makes me think and learn from others perspective.
Great post Chuck! That's how I've felt for quite a while--sometimes I get aggravated and discouraged, but I know that discussing the Bible is never a waste of time. The person you are having the discussion with may never agree with you, but it makes you study more and we know there are folks that may not post that read it.
I've told myself a few times that I absolutely would not answer another question on a thread until I recieved a few answers to my questions (which is rare), but if nothing else maybe those questions, and the lack of answers posted, will make someone else think harder. It's not just about us and what we can gain from it--it's for everyone that visits.

I agree Chuck . . .even tho folk may not agree, there are many seeds planted here. Often the folk we discuss with do not see truth in the time frame of the discussion, but will have a revelation of it later in life. This has happened with me also.
We do instigate much searching of the scriptures.

Amen to all,
To be honest when I strayed away for a couple of daysI nearly backslid. This forum is a God sent and if not for this exorcism thread today I might not of read nearly as many verses. You guys are somewhat of a life line for me. I thought I was strong in the lord until I went away. I never realized how powerful fellowship really is.I really do draw a lot of strenghth from you guys.
