Is God talking to me through this site ?

Hi Gena,

Believe me, some people I know have responded with anger too.  Then, something happens in me, and I start preaching. Imagine that!  Most of the time, these are cases when I just can not tolerate their denial of the true God.  It usually turns into a debate, and I talk as gently as possible!  Now, the result is usually some skepticism, mixed with hope, because I try to convey that our God is a God of LOVE.  The most difficult conversations for me are the ones who are mad at God for all that goes on in the world.  I ask them, are they more compassionate than God?  And that's the end of that. :)

Wow, it's very reassuring what you say, MrSnacks. I sometimes tend to get a little irritated with some people - it might border on pride. I was explaining a few things to a friend who's keen to learn, when 2 atheists joined the conversation - one was a Jewish atheist (hey, that's what he said). All of a sudden Dawkins-issues and science was in the conversation, and someone mentioned the Flying Spaghetti Monster. In the past I would've gone into the nitty-gritty of science and evolution, but I think I ticked them off when I said "If you don't believe in God, so be it, I do. God draws men, not me." Was I a little out of line there, guys? :-(   ...Well, the one atheist left the table, and the jewish-atheist stayed -so it was us three. Exactly like you say, mrsnacks, you ask questions. I asked the jewish-atheist about hell from a jewish perspective, and he answered questions, and lo and behold I just asked a simple question, and he went blank, and my friend who is learning these truths slowly, realized at that momet that there was something fishy about this "hell-thing" preached all over the world, and that I'm not gasping for air all the time.

I believe God is communicating to us in more ways than one - when we're alone or when we're on this forum. I wouldn't have known what I know now, all by myself.

The words from you guys are very comforting, because we all go through the same things. All of you might not know me that well yet, but reading what you guys have to say, is sent to comfort us and say "You're not alone"

Welcome Addison, Walk strong in Christ :-)

Rest assured...God is definitely talking through this site. (among others that I've found.) And the best way to find the truth that you seek, besides studying the tar out of the scriptures, is to talk to people. Some folks call it "fellowship" although I really really hate that term. (long story there) But heck yeah, talk all you can. I feel that we who know the truth, no matter how you stumbled upon it, have a responsibility to tell others what we know. WWJD? Keep it to Himself? Obviously not. Be warned however, that some people will literally fight you, yelling and screaming, not wanting to see the error in how they've been taught to believe. I try not to take it personally. It's in God's hands correct?

Hi Addison,

I'm glad you have joined us here  :)
We have all wind up here in different ways, it matters not how God brought us to BT.  It is the truth that we are sparing, the encouragement we give one another, and the comfort we feel in having fellowship with like minded brothers and sisters, that makes this place important to us. 
I hope you will share what you are learning with us, and ask questions if need be.

mercy, peace, and love
Kat
