@galveston75 saidIt would be unkind to ding you for a typo on this least receptive of forums. But I think most Christians of Earth would capitalize Word in that context and usage.
Nope, not me. Sorry but I will never turn my back on God's word which is what you've done because you like your opinions more then what God says.
Presented for your consideration: God's Word is indeed always at your back, as in the Irish blessing. God's Word keeps your meat from rotting on your bones.
Maybe people get mixed up lexically and confuse the words of Earthly scripture with the Word of God, which has no vowels or consonants that we can comprehend.
The Spider Crystals of Arcturus express nearly the same concept this way: "Clickity clickity; clack clack."
@fmf saidI would say you never had faith to begin with. If your heart were truly looking for the bible truths and accurate knowledge to understand them, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I don't find the God figure you believe in credible. Same goes for what you claim about "what God says". I don't think you have any worthwhile or insightful information about any creator being, if there is one. I dont see myself as having "turned [my] back on" anyone or anything real; I just realized that I had lost my faith and I was simply honest with myself about it. If your faith gives you solace and purpose and camaraderie, good for you.
@caesar-salad saidUhh, OK!

@galveston75 saidAh yes. Yes, a fair few people here have reacted to my loss of faith by claiming I "never had faith in the first place" for... er... over 25 adult years living a Christian life. It's a convenient thing for you to say.
I would say you never had faith to begin with. If your heart were truly looking for the bible truths and accurate knowledge to understand them, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
And yet my faith may well have been more deeply felt and more affecting than yours is, and I may have been a more conscientious follower of Jesus' teaching than you are. So it's moot.
If you really do believe that religious faith cannot change or cannot be lost, then perhaps you don't have a good understanding of the nature of faith and are only capable of propagandizing about it and reciting rote-learned doctrines in a simple minded and browbeating and way.
Ah yes, that old chestnut: "you never had faith to begin with." And the splendid corollary: if only I had the same subjective opinions as you about "truth" and "accurate knowledge", if only I had a mind like yours.
Ah yes.
@galveston75 saidIs this post evidence that your Christian faith is real and sincere and that you have "accurate knowledge" about "Bible truths"?
I can't change ones spiritual dumbness can I? I just get tired of your spouting off with things you have no clue of understanding and then trying to make others look like we are the fools. I have to leave sometimes to change my boots as the poop gets too deep...
@fmf saidWhat so called faith you think you had from what I see of your postings was never deep rooted into your heart. And your postings show that you never had the relationship with Jehovah that is needed to make your faith grow. Perhaps your faith died and became like the plant that soon withered and died along side the road because the dirt was no good and that caused you to turn your back on Jehovah. I doubt you even used his name. Without using it the Bible says he will not listen. That didn't help your cause at all.

@galveston75 saidI have only ever posted on this forum as an agnostic atheist. My faith was lost before I started posting here. Back when I was a Christian with deep rooted faith, I was not yet contributing to this community.
What so called faith you think you had from what I see of your postings was never deep rooted into your heart.
@galveston75 saidHow so? Because I don't post as a Christian?
your postings show that you never had the relationship with Jehovah that is needed to make your faith grow.
