Re: Are you a good person??

you started this on kisky.com forum and I do agree with you, I am very close to God, go to church every sunday and try to live a life as close to Jesus as I can, I am human and do slip up sometimes but I believe i can go to confession and be forgiven.

I do agree with you and we are on the same page but you gotta realize there are some people out there that don't believe or think the same way. Hammering this stuff at them isn't the way to get them to listen or think about what you are saying. The thing in Kisky got out of hand and hopefully this doesn't.

Re: Are you a good person??

Hey bornagain, I'm glad you have such strong convictions about your faith in Christ. I share some of the same convictions. However, I think the way you've gone about it in this post leaves a lot to be desired. Have you ever heard the saying "People don't care what you know until they know you care"? This was your first post and that's how you want people to know you? Try creating some relationships first and then share the love of Christ with those you become close to. God Bless

Re: Are you a good person??

I believe I am a good person regardless of whether I am in church or not. Even though I was raised in church I do not regularly attend now, but I was raised with certain values to treat people fairly and decently regardless of who they are. I am trying to quit smoking, I don't drink anymore, I am trying to curb my swearing but every now and then one slips out, I don't lie and I don't steal. So basically I feel I am a good person, but I strive to be a better one.

As far as people's reactions as to how you introduced yourself in here, some will welcome it while others will shun it. If there are some on here that do shun your beliefs, it doesn't necessarily make them a bad person, as far as I am concerned everyone on here is a good person, I haven't really been proved wrong on that belief, I may have my doubts on a couple, but it is hard to really know who a person is by letters and numbers on a screen.

Re: Are you a good person??

You can still be a good person without believing in your god or a book of opinions. By the same token, you can read and preach the book every day but if you are a bad person it does not mean much.

Anyway, welcome to the forums.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree.

You have opened with quite a hard expression of salvation. I know that before I excepted Jesus as my saviour I was turned off by this approch. Not that It won't work with some people. But from my experince talking about the grace that god offers is a much better way to open up with. God Is a loveing father who offers love and grace through his son Jesus. Being confronted with our sins is his job. I cant call you a sinner unless i am without sin. Please don't feel condamation in these remarks, That in not my purpose in saying this. I pray that the love of God will come out of this subject post. And that no one will be pushed away from the only truth. Welcome to the forum.

If he is the person who you are thinking of, and I am sure I am thinking of the same one also, Buckee will get to the bottom of it.

I am not sure if it's the same person. But awful funny that he he posted this and then took off and ain't come back since.

Although I give 2 craps about the thread itself, I don't see that he has done anything wrong though except push religion which goes on quite frequently here anyway crazy.gif Not that I mind, just saying.

Also, I have noticed that alot of born again Christians and Preachers these days all have a sad story to tell. They all were into drugs, alcohol, etc...Heck, I must be a saint then grin.gif

And here all that time I was thinking I was a bad boy grin.gif

Not here, I was a pretty darn good kid in school. I got sent to the office once in 4th grade for being late to class and once in 10th grade for running in the hall. I've never done drugs, no an alchololic, been happily married for 10 years and have two great kids.

Before I was saved, I had two problems. I lacked direction and purpose.

Christ gave me both of them.

Re: Are you a good person??

There are alot of good folks here that this post is going to upset and I for one feel like you are trying to make us feel bad. Everyone has sinned and most of us have been saved. Nobody is perfect, a sin is a sin so no matter whether you murdered or simply took a piece of gum...........you are still a sinner and no better than another sinner. Please don't come in here and make comments that make people uncomfortable. Again I say, there are tons of good people on here!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to th forums, this is the place where people of all walks of life come to talk about their passions, problems, and sometimes nothing at all. Sometimes we argue, sometimes we play jokes. But one thing is understood.. every one here is "Good People". No matter what your lifestyle is. I understand your fervor in spreading God's word, but be cautious my friend, for the only judge that matters is God!

Re: Are you a good person??

lol.... I must say that kinda cracked me up. I feel I am a good person, and have never been to church. In fact I know several people who preach religion who are terrible spouses,closet pervs, etc. It is way to easy to hide behind religion. The only thing I feel I need to be "saved" from is people telling me how to live my life, and I will go to **** if I do not do it "their" way. Welcome to the forums though. grin.gif
