If you think the Spirituality Forum was invented only for Christians, you are mistaken (I was here when this forum was established, and took part in the discussions over whether or not it should be established; I was on the “pro” side). If you think only Christians should take part here, you will just be frustrated. If you want a forum just for Chr ...[text shortened]... sually don’t) would be radically different from your own; no insult or condescension intended.
Non-Believers take their eyes off God and put it on themselves, I was once a non-believer,...you have a free will given to you from God to make choices.
But because the non-believer chooses to live by his own opinions, when things finally go wrong in many cases he then blames God for it....christians are caring loving people, that are forgiving of others and circumstances wheres as the non-believer wear's all this stuff himself, the guilt, the anger the hatred.....when you submit to the word of God he takes all that stuff away, and I speak from experience.
I have been a Christian for only 12 months, I spent my entire life prior to this listening to non-believers talk, their opinions that are forever changing, saying one thing today about what they believe and contradict it tomorrow when they have changed their minds, this is the truth...I heard non-christian views my entire life from family and friends, work colleagues, and occaisonly a Christian would come along and the non-believer would say "Christians are always shoving their belief down your throat." it was this hypocrisy that made me realise after all these years the Christians belief in God hadn't changed like everybody else's and even my own, and christianity wasnt just a single persons opinion, it is wide spread throughout the nations and even the century's...Lets face it, we all once believed in God but that wasnt enough, and we got swept away as soon as something went wrong, so suddenly the belief went elsewhere.
The truth is, all these years it was not the Christians doing the shoving of beliefs down peoples throats....A simple reminder that God exists and he loves you is all they got, and he sends his people to you once in a while for your own benefit, but the non-believer continue's to choose to reject it for their own belief, whatever it maybe?.....A former flatmate of mine was like that, I always had to listen to his anti beliefs, I listened to his obsenity's and the hatred of his heart, what he believed, or for that matter what didn't believe, it was all day and everyday and the sad thing was he was blind to it.
No where did I suggest this forum was a or should be a christians only forum that was your doing, I suggested that all the anti spiritual stuff should find its way to forum for anti spiritual talk....
