What are the benefits of being a Christian? Why should I become A Christian?

[adrian jaye]

John 13, 36

Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”

Peter asked, “Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

Thats not true. You posted on this thread before it was moved to the OT Forum. Are you conspiring with AFriend? Are you one of them holy-rollers? You seem to be taking this a little too seriously.

Ok....I don't understand your acusations, but let me explain:

I have no idea who AFriend is - I have never met him, nor do I believe his methods are appropriate. I was the one who banned him - whether I agree with his beliefs or not, AFriend is a spamming troll, and that's inappropriate content.

Personally, I believe his methods are ineffective to bring someone to Christianity. He is turning more people off to Christ than he is bringing them 'into his fold.' As a Christian, I get annoyed as much as you do about someone ramming Christ down anyone's throat.

You are correct that I did post in the thread before it was moved to the OT section. What I posted was this:

Posted by me:
Moderator of this forum - please move this to OT.

-Z-man, OT Forum moderator.

However, I did not edit, move, delete...etc anthing until the thread arrived here in the OT dungeon. It was only then that I noticed some inappropriate content that I indeed did remove. (You missed the grid girls thread here, but that's a different story altogether)

I did not post that in order to conspire with AFriend. AFriend posted the same post in the OT section SEE HERE. I was planning on deleting both of these threads, but before I had a chance to get to it, people started commenting on them, and I felt it wasn't appropriate to delete them by then.

If by 'holy rollers' you mean a born again Christian, then, yes, I am one of them 'holy rollers.' But I suggest that you refrain from stereo-typing all born again Christians as 'holy rollers.' Please keep in mind that you calling me a holy roller is a personal attack.

Do I take all this seriously? The only thing I take seriously here is enforcement of the forum rules. (See the first thread 'sticky' on top of this page to see the OT forum rules.)

So before you continue this line of thought, I suggest that you take a step back and ease up and stop taking this as seriously as you are taking it.

Thank you,
-Z-man, OT Forum moderator.

I'd say most of the members here are people who do a lot of research, and a lot of reading. We dont just tackle a task, the risk is too high!! Mistakes can be costly!!

If only most of us would do the same and read the Bible and decide for yourself.

I LOVE JESUS

No - it was moved here by the moderator of the R1100S forums. I have no access to edit/move/lock...etc. threads on that forum.

When a thread lands here, you cannot tell if it was created here or if it was moved here from another forum by a moderator. So I had no idea that it originally started out on the R1100S forums.

Just so we're on the same page.

Yeah ok.
