I realize that. Thing are just getting heated and confusing. I like learning about others' faith. I just really want to avoid argument or having anyone feel attacked.

I can agree with that. There is way to get the same message across but use soft language. I am trying to do that. I hope it comes out on the other side that way. No harshness intended in my tone.

It's difficult to guage tone via text but you have been pretty respectful.

Whenever I hear people talk about this verse it always reminds me of the fruits of the spirit which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I pray for the fruit of the spirit to be evident in my life. I try not to evaluate my life based on the fruit of my work but on whether the fruit of the spirit is evident throughout my life.

I do try to be respectful. I know how strongly I feel about my convictions and how much I love Jesus. I don’t get easily offended when others call into question my opinions or beliefs because I know what I know.

I am the same way. I'm not offended, I know what I know. I just dont want people to feel unsafe sharing their beliefs. That's it. I don't care if you're Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim or any other religion. No one should feel afraid to believe what they believe.

Yes! To this! ❤️

Hey I'm not attacking im just trying to show you whats wrong with your belifs and its different than a chirstians yes you believe Jesus is christ and he saves us from all sins and forgives all sins but whats wrong is you are saying we can become God or like God which is wrong

I agree with you but it isn’t helpful to speak so strongly to people. It causes people to become defensive and then they stop listening altogether. The only reason we call attention to things like this should be for the other persons benefit. So that they may be saved. So setting yourself up in opposition to people who aren’t in agreement with us is not the right way to pursue the conversation either.

One of the fruits of the spirit is gentleness. We need to speak with gentleness in our language so that by our fruits we will be known as children of God.

I can’t believe this conversation is still going. The main point anyone was trying to get at was that we all believe in Jesus Christ. And that’s that. There’s no need to call our prophets false or our beliefs wrong. Like I said earlier, you can believe whatever you want. I can believe what I want. Let’s just leave it at that because basically what you are doing is attacking our religion, whether you say you are or not.

I agree there is no need for harsh language. But to say that our beliefs are basically the same isn’t quite true either. You are right that we are each entitled to believe as we choose and I am simply saying that our beliefs are not in agreement.

No one said they were the same.

Well when your beliefs go against the bible yet call your self chirstians, it is us to point it out.

Isn’t that what you have been saying?

This is true.

have use any harsh language?

No. I said we both believe in Jesus Christ.

Do you not believe in Christ?

I do

Well you’re not swearing but, yes, some of what you are saying is very strong.

That was the only point we were getting at.

Ok but when you think you can become God or like God thats not a good teaching because look what the devil tried to do he tried attack God to become God and the devil was thrown from heaven

I don’t think we believe in Jesus Christ the same way. Even satan believes in God and Jesus but he does not obey God.

That is true the and the devil thinks he above them

That is not what we are talking about. We all believe in Jesus Christ. That’s that. Doesn’t matter how. I don’t know how many more times I have to say this.

Yes but your not understanding there is more than believing jesus is christ

I agree with you. But each person has to walk their own road. I speak about the things I have learned and about my experience. We all have to go through it for ourselves. I was once a zealous evangelist and wanted to teach everyone what I knew. But they have to come to understanding each on their own.

Obviously. But *we are not talking about that.*

Ok? So I can't talk about that

We are having many different discussions actually.

Feel free. But the original discussion, which has evolved into you guys saying our religion is false, started with us saying that our foundational belief in Jesus Christ is the same in that we both believe in Him.

I'm a pentecostal and I just wanna help as much people as I can, I feel it my heart to spread it

To tell you whats wrong with some teachings

I can understand that desire in your heart. Even area seems the have the desire for us all to be in agreement. This is good you guys. It comes from the right place. But like I’ve said everyone has to go through their own experiences to come to their own understanding. I do believe that there is only one truth. But it is for each person to discover on their own.

I’m sorry I meant Rea. I was referring to there.

Well, I have no idea what's going on anymore. I'm ducking out of this one.

It really isn’t your job to go around telling people what is right and wrong. If you want to evangelize you must first establish a relationship. Otherwise your words will not be accepted but only met with contempt.

Yeah. I’m out. You guys don’t seem to understand what I’m saying, and I’m not really in the mood to have my beliefs attacked. But feel free to continue discussing it.

To be fair I think I do understand what you’re saying. But I disagree.

I just really don’t think the Jesus that is presented in your religion is the same character in my religion. That is my opinion.
