@divegeester saidYes, they did I said as much, a conversation here and there.
These Christians who you ran into here and there didn’t coach you or talk to you about the possibility of God?

@kellyjay saidWell earlier you were saying that you had no contact with Christians just that you were “called by God” and “given a choice” and now you are saying that it was in fact other Christians who influenced you.
Yes, they did I said as much, a conversation here and there.
Which is it?

I'm not going to repeat myself to you.
@kellyjay saidWere Christians influential in your becoming a Christian or not KellyJay?

I asked you earlier and you said not.
You also claimed that “God called you and you answered”.

Of course he used Christians, but I didn’t have Christians in my life growing up and when I became a Christian I also didn’t have Christians as friends I ran around with. I did bump into a few who shared a little here and there.
I never prayed for anything, didn’t concern myself to much about good and evil. It wasn’t until I got into a ton of trouble that I prayed. After that it opened up for a for lack of a better word, a dialog between God and I, which led me to Christ.
Even then I hung onto some of my old life for a little while but it died as all the pleasures I used to get dried up.

And you became a Christian by hearing “God calling” you say above.
Are you saying across these few posts, that without any human Christian intervention, conversation or contact that you heard “God calling”?

@divegeester saidI've been straight forward, you not seeing that, I cannot help.
Is that a yes, or a no?
You seem to have trouble even being honest about how you became a Christian.

@kellyjay saidOk let’s start again, seems I’ve been misunderstanding you, sorry. I was interested in how you came to be a Christian and you said “god called, I answered”, which seemed a little top-line and quite unusual tbh.
3x because you don't read to understand, "Of course he used Christians, "
You then explained that you had had minimal contact with any Christians in fact you only “bumped into a few here and there”.
So what I’m trying to understand is wether or not the reason you became a Christian was due to those few “here and there” interactions with other Christians or not?

gospel. You seem to be missing a key point in Christianity which might explain why
you have not been answering my questions. Christians have a living hope, it isn't
just a piece of dogma, God is alive and well, and rules the entire universe if He was
not the reason for your conversion, what was, just note if it is for any reasons outside
of God what makes you think you have God? There are many who are going to say
Lord in your name we did this, and Jesus' replay will be, I never knew you.

@kellyjay saidSo your assertion that “god called and [you] answered” when I asked how you became a Christian, and your subsequent furtive deflections about “bumping into the odd Christian…” wasn’t entirely true was it. Which is what I’ve been trying to unpick.
He did use Christians with me, they gave me the
gospel.
You see, Abraham was “called”, Samuel was “called” Moses was “called”, David was “called” but you weren’t “called”. You heard the gospel from other Christians same as we all did.

@divegeester saidWe will see, I asked you again and again about what if you are wrong about hell in
Nonsense KellyJay, I will answer any question you care to put me.
Fire away old boy.
our other discussion.
In this one, is God real in your life, is Christ in you, you would know, not me?
