Thanks! And that also seems true. We also teach that God doesn’t forgive you until you have prayer with him, after confession. So there is that too!
I hope you have fun!!!!!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha!… Nope. Thank you, but I didn’t…. I almost died 😀 I am not joking.
Sorry for taking so LONNNGGGG to reply!
Yeah that’s awesome! Some mega churches can be great! I guess only the bad ones made it onto the media 😅 And what I meant by getting people in, is seeing how big they can make their church, instead of actually discipling people and helping them grow in Christ. Like, they’re more focused on getting five thousand people on Sunday just to look good, than maybe a thousand who actually love Jesus or want to know more about Him.
Also, what do you mean by “give them a good church experience to make them care about church?” I wanted to say something about that, but I want to be sure I’m understanding you correctly. : )
Oh, yeah I should’ve mentioned that! About how mega churches are almost always portrayed badly. (Ofc there are some awful mega churches.) But what I mean about “giving them a good church experience” is truly bringing the gospel to them. Truly showing them that they are loved and God loves them! Because tons of people have had horrible experiences with churches. Especially with some of the modern problems 😬
Lol, sorry! What I meant, is that if someone is mocking the church or Christianity to my face, I’d probably just do my best to shrug it off. Like, Whatever bro. Jesus told His followers that they would be hated, not because of who they were necessarily, but because the world already hates Him. Mockery shouldn’t come as a surprise.
That makes sense. I guess I am more like Simon Peter… “punch” first and ask questions later XD
I might try to defend Christianity or God if they’re mocking them, but I don’t want to get into a fight. They might be mocking just to try to get on my nerves, or just to run their mouth and make their opinion heard. People do that all the time on social media. If my effort to defend will make God or Christianity look bad because I’m getting in a heated argument, then I’m not going to do it. It’s just not worth it. God will defend Himself. (Now don’t get me wrong, I believe we should stand up for what we believe in, but we aren’t on this earth to argue with people who hate Him. We’re there to bring those people closer to Him. And some of those people are just going to reject that over and over again.)
Yup! And I should probably act out the way you see the world! I just don’t like when people talk rudely about the one true God!
What do you mean by “kinda”?
what was the question again? was it about the artist?

Y’ALL!!! Don’t you love it when the Bible quotes the Bible. LOL (Also really cool, Look up the word translated salvation. Does it sound familiar? Psalm 118 is so cool when it comes to prophesies!!!)
[Exo 15:2 KJV] 2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
[Psa 118:14 KJV] 14 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
[Isa 12:2 KJV] 2 Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation.
You will love what you spend time with.
This is awesome, and so deep!
[Psa 118:21-29 ESV] 21 I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. 22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success! 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. 27 The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar! 28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. 29 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
You will love what you spend time with.
I DO LOVE THAT : D do you like potato news?

Ok awesome! Yeah, I totally get that.

Haha, that’s fair, lol! XD It’s good to be zealous for the Lord, but I believe there is a limit to how that plays out in our words and actions.
Thankfully I’ve never actually personally encountered it before, so I pray I would respond in love, but I can’t say for certain I would! 🤷🏻♀️

Yeah, it’s super cool when the bible does that! Jesus quoted scripture all the time:

Jews placed a lot of emphasis on memorizing Torah and passing down traditions orally. They would have known a lot of passages off by heart.
And a lot (33%) of the Bible is poetry. When read in its original language, that would have been both beautiful and easy to commit to memory.
My dad has a friend who has memorized a lot of the Bible. You’ll be discussing theology and stuff with him, and he’ll just rattle off a few verses and say where they’re found. It’s crazy lol
