Title: New here.... MY goals. Post by: Seeker_of_Faith on October 31, 2003, 02:00:28 PM Hello everyone.
I wanna tell you a bit about why I am here. I grew up in a fairly Liberal household, and while my parents were deeply SPIRITUAL, they tended to blackout Christianity and downgrade it a lot. This seemed very hypocritical to me, that they would boost all of these other religions, yet condemn the religion upon which so many great things- including the basic tenets of the society in which we live- have sprung from. I need some Christian teachers, hope all of you will help me out. I tried to read the King Jame's Bible front to back like one would a novel, but I found this a bit discouraging. The Bible seems to have references for how one is feeling, the trials that life deals one and philophies behind them. Please help! Title: Re:New here.... MY goals.

Seeker_of_faith; I would start with the New Testament, Book of John then Acts, and Romans. Don't read ,but ask the Holy Spirit to Open it to you, if you still have problems ask we will try to help.

Welcome to Christians Unite. I hope and pray that you find what you are searching for here. Studying the Holy Bible is a lifetime pursuit. It would be impossible to read it like a novel. Many of the truths in the Bible are only revealed after accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. Seek and you will find. In Christ, Tom Title: Re:New here.... MY goals. Post by: KiwiChristian on October 31, 2003, 07:55:09 PM Welcome to you - I myself actually find the King James bible to be a bit hard to understand whereas other people find it just right for them. There are many bibles out there which are made alot simpler - the one I have is called an NIV study bible and it actually not only has a concordance at the back but on every back it explains the scriptures.
Why dont' you ask God in a simple prayer to help you to understand a verse if you are having trouble with it. |
