What are you looking for?

[wil]

Gotta love it, three years after Luna's last post she blew life back into a beautiful thread! kudos

I'm here because some my friends are here.

Why did I come, I thoroughly enjoy interfaith discussion as well as discussing the intracies of my own faith, as well as learning more about others.

Communication I believe is the key to peace....and peace is a worthwhile endeavor.

What are you looking for?

i am looking for God.

Why do you come here? For what reason do you spend time posting on this board?

i come here to talk about God. i will have you know that if i don't talk to someone about God i will go crazy. i mean fruitcake crazy! believe it or not, "narrow path" followers are very hard to come by. very rare breed. "many are called but few are chosen". very few.

Is it reenforcement of your beliefs?

no. just makes me feel better and not so pathetic.

Is it to make yourself heard?

no. God hears my every thought all the time.

Is it a need to connect?

no.

Is it an opportunity to educate?

no, again.

Is it an opportunity to debunk?

nope.

Why is it important to you?

it just makes feel better , is all. thanks.

Im not looking for anything per se. I have found that which I seek. I come here because I believe this is where my ministry is... I know that this irritates many people but I can only say it like this.. if you had a medicine that you knew would save a dying mans life would you withhold it because you dont want to make him uncomfortable by talking about his condition or would you give it to the man to save his life?

I think a little of it is all of the things listed. Like they make up the whole.

Its important to me because its important to my God.

To find out what misconceptions people have of Islam. To be honest I never actually expected to post anything - now look at me!!

I stumbled across it.

I never really expected to get as involved as I have in an interfaith site. Before that, I thought all interfaith sites were for idle, useless talk that weren't going to change the world or provide anything insightful on how to think about religion.

I've now come to value what I read on an interfaith site. I discovered that discussing and talking about something, though not for debate or debunking of opposing views, is not so pointless and hopeless after all. I believed that I've gained a lot more from CR than I've contributed... (if you know what I mean)

Most of my thinking back then was dominated by creeds and dogma. Whenever I thought about religions, I always thought in terms of their "apparent foundations," not how people might possibly approach them as people, as autonomous beings not manipulated by impersonal logic. I've now come to understand what it means to think outside of creeds and dogma without undermining the meaning of a religion.

Overall, the experience has been worth it. Yes, I did sacrifice a lot of my time to do it.

I grew up in a very loving family who taught us to explore and to be true to ourselves and our beliefs rather they were right or wrong. We all learned music at a young age, reading was a pastime something you did because we wanted to. We were taught to treat people well and respect others that were different. We were taught to never abuse an animal boys or men don't hit women except their sisters who would fight back and usually win anyway. I excelled in sports, history,and for some strange reason chemistry. I hated home EC with a passion and to this day can not sew, knit or crochet. My mother was an talented artist, musician, carpenter, gardener and the worst cook I have even known. Mom hated housework and it would show so us kids did most of the housework but it did not matter, her good points out shadowed her bad points. She was always active with her kids or any kid that needed extra attention. We always had loud music playing whether it be classical, country, or rock and roll it was blaring. My dad was like Tim the tool man as far as fixing things and he tried. He is a big reds fan and a big browns fan, and advertising whiz, and old school newspaperman, and avid news junkie, reader and always trying to learn to play music with no results. He is very very hard to anger, devoted to his family, the spoiling grandpa and I have spent years looking for a man like him and so far no luck.
I think what I am looking for is what I don't really know and the only way to find that is to keep looking. I do believe in God, but have never found a church I felt I fit or that fit me. I want to be in a place were I feel at peace.
Where I can express my thoughts and not be made to feel as if I was wrong or stupid.

i just love making known about the established heavenly kingdom daniel 2;44 matthew 24;14
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; daniel 2;44
And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. matthew 24;14 i think that it is such GOODNEWS that the prophecies in the bible are now well along, and the kingdom is now well established . and Jesus is now a reigning king in Gods heavenly kingdom . and very shortly Jesus will go into action and get rid of the ones who are wicked in Gods eyes, and then this heavenly kingdom goverment can rule without any opposition. This heavenly kingdom was set up inline with bible prophecy and chronology in 1914 . and it is the only way to peace on the earth .NOW THAT IS GOODNEWS .
(Mark 13:10) Also, in all the nations the good news has to be preached first.

That "quote" had a duality of meanings. In North Florida, there is a speed trap in the town of Waldo, and well...

See here, In England we call him Wally.... Why do you call him Waldo? What happened to his switch of identity? :|?
