God is awesome!!

I haven't been on here because I've been sick. I started having severe abdominal pains a couple of days ago, and we're not sure completely what's going on yet. I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow and I might have to get a CAT scan done.
Through this, I've realized how many friends really do care and I've been getting SO many prayers!!! The doctor I went and saw was my small group leader in a Christian group I was in last year, and he prayed with me and my mom for me after we were finished with my examination, and he prayed again for me this morning. God is good!

I will pray that it's nothing serious with your stomach and that you are completely healed.

Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

I meant to update a couple of days ago. I had a bad reaction to a couple of medications that I was taking. I stopped taking them. If I hadn't stopped taking them when I did, I could have gotten an ulcer. I'm just at home recovering and healing.
Thanks for your prayers! God is good!

Yes God is good, and I'm so glad that you are not taking your medicines that would given you an ulcer. God found a way to protect you.

AND a mother who had been through that before, except she got the ulcer. She gives me SUCH good advice - she's the one who told me to stop taking them! :) I thank God every day for my mom.
Plus, the doctor I went and saw was my small group leader, along with his wife, at a teen Christian group I was a member of a few months ago, and after my examination he prayed for me with me and my mom. Man, God has blessed me with SO many amazing people in my life!
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Aww I'm sorry your mother got the ulcer. Besides a good mother, it sounds like you have a good doctor as well. I'm happy for you.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

I don't believe in God, my view is that religion is something of a waste but whatever blows your skirt up.

It's a comfort blanket, In my opinion it was used as nothing more than a form of control for the uneducated masses...do that and you'll go to heaven...don't do that or you'll go to hell.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

The thread sure did evolve since I last visited. I fell quite guilty about it actually. I did want to post at some point, but the atmosphere was a bit tense, so I opted out. It is nice to see peace returned to this thread. :yes:

Earthy, although belatedly, I wanted to thank you for your prayers - the exam I was talking about went rather well.

MJJ_luv1991, glad to hear about your mom's sound advice. Take care and God bless.

Since we all belong to different denominations, but are united in our belief in the Lord Jesus, I would like to post a Bible quote from Saint Paul:

26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:26-28



And to end on a happy note, here is a funny lil' pic I've found some time ago.

To deank93 - I only saw your post after I hit the submit post button. Religion does not "blow my skirt up" as you said, the wind at the metro does that and I ain't Marilyn Monroe either. LOL I, and many others here I am sure, am aware of the whole position of viewing religion as the 'opium of the masses', a means of control and intoxication, of restricting human liberty and not allowing men to reach their full potential because of 'stupid' moral constrains. We happen to disagree. For us, it is not only a "refuge" and a place where we ignore the ugliness of the world, but a treasure and a purpose for living and wishing for life eternal. As someone once said: if all of this would be a lie, the product of human imagination, even if Jesus never existed (which of course we do not believe to be the case),at least we would have served a God of love.

It is quite unfair to generalize and label people as uneducated because they are people of faith. Not only is that beyond absurd, but also insulting. If the word absurd seems a bit extreme I used it because your assertion is proven as such by the many academics and great thinkers who were believers, not that education has got anything really to do with common sense and decency; the opposite can also be said - some of the greatest minds have some of the most dreadful characters; unfortunately, I've met my share of those.

As a believer, I know that God gave us the ultimate freedom - to deny Him. But I also know that in whatever gestures of kindness and love I see in others, even if they do not know Him, I see Him and I am thankful for them.

I hope my words did not offend you. Peace :flowers:

Then why did you come to this thread??? There is a thread for athiests that is probably more appropriate for you to post since those who post there will share your beliefs.

Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Thanks for all your prayers!!

I need to read my Bible more...

I also need to pray for my church at home...we're having some problems within the congregation as our pastor leaves. One thing just piles on top of the other, and more and more. It's adding a lot of stress on my dad, who is one of the important committee leaders and it seems like a lot of people do not treat him very well and that he, as well as the others on this committee, is a target. It makes me very sad. :(

I will pray for your church as well, that the problems will be solved and that everyone will be Christlike.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

My camp is over now. We did a lot of praying out there, hah. I also found out that Jesus had brothers. Or well not biological brothers but still brothers. And we also acted some stories from bible. Pretty cool. :)
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Mark 6:3 (New King James Version)
Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.

That's the part I found few days backwards. In Finnish but anyway. But Judas/Jude/Judah wrote book? What book in the bible? Haven't seen yet and can't find anyway.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Found. I guess I should read that, thanks MJ_luv1991. ;)
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Hi there!
Have you ever doubted God?
Have you ever felt like it all doesn't make sense, there is no God or all the faith you have is useless?
I think I've given up and I can't get up.
Even though I can speak a lot about Him and say some beautiful words describing Jesus, but I just don't feel He's near me. I don't remember when was the last time I prayed.
Just wanted to know if there is someone who feels the same or has ever felt :)
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Well I didn't believe so well few years ago and I always argued that there is NO such thing as God. Oh well then I prayed and prayed and prayed... Suddenly one day over a year ago, I was thinking about this again. Everything I prayed for was happened.

Pastors have always told me that Holy Spirit makes us believe. Just human can't "believe" without Holy Spirit. But every Christian has been "in touch" with Holy Spirit in baptism, so there's always some believing in human even if it's not much but even a little bit. :)
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Yes I am.

Well, I am Roman Catholic thats why, we are all raised and educated Catholics, but now I am older I am more believer or at least I try to follow the thing.
I go to the church, read the Bible, read books and prayers. I find myself very convinced, such things.

Well that.

So, hi!
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Welcome Moon Dancer! It's great to have new people here.

I've gotta question for you guys. Hope as many as possible answer to this:

How often do you go to church? Do you go there every week, every month, only holidays or not at all?

I go to church when I have feeling that I've gotta go there. Last month I went to church twice but before it my last time was in June if I remember right.

I go every Sunday. Few months ago I was in church more often, but now it's only on Sundays.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Wow. That's pretty much. Are you always free on Sundays that you can go to church? :eek: Wow...
