I am glad we have the chance to talk about what we are. I have to say, that there appears to be a great level of respect being shown among the various belief systems that fill this group in the last few threads. We just might be growing.

I dont agree that this isn't a church... remember where two or more are gathered in HIS name He is there.. and also the church is not a building it's HIS bride so if you are in agreement that Christ is God incarnate in the flesh, born of a virgin, is part of the trinity and died on the third day and rose again then you are indeed the church...
If you are saying that this is not led by people qualified for leadership, as long as you are ministering and trying to minister and get ministered too (otherwise why be on a "Christian board") then thats what we are ALL to do , leaders or not..
And I don't understand why you are saying that if you are looking to get married that your posts are suspect...
there is nothing wrong with seeking a spouse.. scriptures tell men that a wife is a good thing..and that they are hard to find..
and since women were created for men there is nothing wrong with women wanting to find a spouse either or to BE a spouse to someone..
I may have taken that wrong just curious as to why that would be suspect


love ya in Christ

Part of His bride...

i did not mean that those of us who are believers are not The Church. but that this forum is not a church. we do not have a board of elders. we have no formal structure. we are a group of people, believers and unbelievers, who get together to discuss religion and relationships- with mostly a christian bent.

and we often contend with the itinerant unbelievers/agnostics who wander in and post. and i like them here contributing to the discussion. they make us think. at least, they make me think.

although it was recently brought to my attention that this forum may not be as friendly to newbies as i would like. we may have to work on that...

you are right to say there is nothing wrong with looking for a mate. my point above is that that is the primary reason we are here. we are looking for mates. therefore, our posts should be viewed a little sceptically especially when it comes to the interaction between men and women here. and even between those of the same sex.

i do think there is occasional posturing here.

if we were in a church, of course, we would all still be looking for mates. but perhaps not at the precise time we were attending services.

but we all ended up here now today primarily looking to advance our prospects for a mate- not looking for christian fellowship.

that, at least, is my perspective on things.

thanks for all the interesting conversation today. do keep posting.

I didn't realize until now that I was responding to such old posts I feel silly.. apparently this website isn't that current? I wish it were. Oftentimes when I attend church and church functions it's all formal.. you know not a ton of fellowship..a little but not enough for me..I am looking for more communication of like minded people so I really hope and pray more of that happens on here than I have seen "recently" haha..

be blessed and glad to see at least SOME activity on here.
Chey

don't feel silly. there is a lot to absorb here when new. and many of the older threads have current topics. it is good to be reminded of them from time to time.

you would not know it from the created date at top. but this is one of the older groups here at eHa. every time there is a change in owners the "created" date gets reset for some reason.

this site, like all sites, has its ups and downs. and the groups too. until recently, this group- and the companion group the Peaceful Oasis- were consistently in the top five active groups. then the Oasis went on hiatus. and a few older groups were revived. they've stayed in the top ten- out of about 120 groups. that's not too shabby.

but it is not a competition. at least, i do not view it as such. but thanks for all the interesting posts here today. and i think i speak for all of us here when i say that i hope you stick around.

Ok I am not sure where to post this, but sometimes at night it would be nice to be able to chat with people with similar values and get immediate response. I have used yahoo chat but too many times men just want to talk about one thing (even in there religion rooms) does anyone know where I could find a place to chat where intelligent conversation is valued.

live chat? no. but if you catch this or the Oasis at the right time, it can be close to live.

That is your perspective. Sadly for me, I didn't come on this group looking for a mate .....In fact, my primary reason for joining eHa was to meet people and be able to talk to others in a forum of writing since I find it easiest to express myself that way. Perhaps that is why I have handled my involvement in CS differently. The people who I find really stimulate my thinking and help me dive into my own beliefs seem to come to this group. They don't seem to stay as long as the more traditional Christians who pop in for some subjects, but they still push me to grow beyond where I was when I meet each one.

Do you believe their is evidence that George Washington or Abe Lincoln ever existed? And Why

There is ample, verifiable, eye witness accounts that can be cross referenced with other eye witness sources that lead any reasonable person to conclude both Washington and Lincoln lived and walked among us at some point in human history.

The contemporary documentation for the historical Jesus is no where near as complete as the above two historical figures.

Nevertheless, I am convinced he historical Jesus did once walk among us.
