Amen! The word of God has blessed and helped me so many times! I came from a family of anti-Christians but amazingly God spared me from that path.
I ought to have said He rescued me.
Welcome to the forum dear Rescued One!
My husband enjoyed small talk, which isn't one of my talents, but he wasn't exactly tolerant of people who disagreed with him (on many subjects). That's okay. We didn't argue or discuss the Bible. Thank you for the sympathy; he passed away 12 years ago. This has given me free time to study God's word.I'm sorry about the loss of your husband, that's always tough.
it's good you're having the opportunity to explore your faith on your own and have the desire to do so.
Look around and participate anywhere you like.. it's a nice crowd here, I'm sure you'll fit in fine.
Welcome once more.
I could benefit from a link.
Thanks for that and for saving me the trouble. Not that is actually trouble, but hopefully you know what I mean. I have trouble being "in the moment" as they say. When I am doing something I always have the end of that thing and the hurrying to the next thing in mind.
I'm sure it's going to be a blessing. I personally don't like arguments such as I've encountered on other forums. I might make a comment and non-Calvinists confront my beliefs. It gets old. I don't generally discuss Arminianism but think I'm presenting a biblical view and the other person jumps in and disagrees. And I'm left wondering "Why?"
Here at CCAM we have a goal of glorifying God. If you have read through our rules you will see that they are designed to keep that arguing at a minimum. To keep threads on track. Keep the conversations civil and edifying. It is not always possible to do, and when we do give grace for a time in hopes that God will do a work in the person to open eyes and soften hearts, to hear and understand. Plus we can't be everywhere all the time and no staff is always here. If you run into things that you find to be rules violations or that are argumentative, provoking argument, avoiding the issues, etc. hit that report button. We will deal with it. And of course, You are always welcome to begin a private message with any or all of staff.
