As for your question how did I find Chris forum. Well that goes back to the offense. While I was getting dry bone syndrome and wanted to understand more of the word of God I myself took on the reasoning of listening to some on this new method of computer information era. Yes I found the Bareans were very helpful also a few others such as Rittenbaugh. While we can all lack knowledge in one area or another of the gospel we should not dispel others in their understanding.
While I may not be qualified for this type of computer structure I still have to press on as we all do in understanding and true wisdom. Even one of my Baptist a long time ago mentioned about wisdom and sometimes I believe we are all wise in our own conceit but with the principals of God and his loving Son Jesus Christ we all have an opportunity to understand the wisdom. Even the wisdom of Solomon is good if one has an open mind to the Christian  view. So we all strive but remember we have the comforter to keep us in rememberance
Maybe Chris is right I shouldn't have came here as I'm sure there is only one respect and that's the love and understanding of God and his Son Jesus Christ as we can all be weak in many ways in our walk or Journey for Jesus and it is funny That he is the God in the Good times and the bad.

To just let God be true. Now I was still young in the Billy Graham and the Nixon era but Mr. Graham filled a lot hearts to lead them to a better way. I don't care if one is conservative or liberal its the learning knowledge that sparks one to open the eyes. Sure we had the Jim Jones Cults back than and I'm sure we know what that was about but I can see Chris's view's also so we should all learn from this Journey for Jesus and we all should strive not to typecast people weather weak or strong. Sure we can all repent but remember we are all still not above the creator but seek knowledge. Now use getting on Mr. Graham which was one of the top 100 preachers of all time in his era.

You know Jeanne I am impressed as a study of Psalm's and Proverbs is good. And yes me myself learned something about Billy Graham. Now I was just reviewing some things that made me understand more. What would we all do without the love of Christ. Would we all be lost. Even David in his laminations was so dis hearted when he sinned but out of the root of Jesse we now have a savior so making an enhancement or fulfilling the law is good. so I hope I am welcomed.

Now Chris is a very well scripture teacher and is very good at his observance of the good news. In fact he has a good understanding. The part about Oprah and others I mentioned were a bit underrated but from my understanding all an evangelist is to lead one to Christ. While if one noticed thru the years their have been stories about Billy Graham and different view's but I have no problems with Chris and his views in fact the Bereans say to search the scriptures and Chris is well in tune with the bible. Even the just shall live by faith. Thank you Chris for letting me shout out. True understanding is God can use everyone that has the faith of a mustard seed as he is the finisher of all.

Chris I want to think you for giving me the time to sound off with my introduction.

Sometimes I have to say wow I feel like this is some spanish inquisition and a bit different from attending church if one can, without reprocussions of persecution of some sorts but here goes. First let me say I'm a sinner as are all people but by the renewing of the mind we are more than conquerors. We all could talk about an introduction of Paul which he says "He's the chief sinner but thats stated in one of his epistales but to answer your question at the age of five my grandmother said that I could recite the 23 Psalm by heart. Now that was quite an accomplishment Sure church was good in my growing years, I wasn't one of the best students as we are all rancy at times in our growing years and we have to at times put off the old man and put on the new. To make a long story short I'm not the author of confusion or am I the finisher.
 While I can't say anything against anyone that wants to follow Jesus we all have a learning process to go thru. Right now I am considered a Sex offender. I wonder if we all offend in thought and deed or is that a principal that the bible taught.

We can look at the life of Paul and get a pretty good idea of why God used him. Now I can't say anything wrong about Chris or anybody else on this forum but  can one judge a book by its cover, isn't that what Adam and eve tried to do which is "cover" when they were tempted. Now Chris is a straight forward man and he might use the word  to get one's attention or make some angry. but its working together that gets things done in the christian way. We could all talk about churches or their different points but if one goes by the KJV and presses on for the cause their is hope for all and guaranteed salvation.

 I hope that gives an introduction that is a bit unworthy of anyone that overshaddows the meek. Sure we all should believe in truth but its love that covers all.

To not dissuade anyone what can I say I'm a sinner just like everyone else, Chris knows my story but that is not the point as the truth will set one free and yes we all go thru trails and tribulations and offenses do come. While we can all study to show thyself approve do we all not stumble in ways, means, and form. Works of righteousness are good but if its not anchored right we all stumble. Now Chris has some good points about his teaching curve but the bible says we must to come together. If Chris wants to lecture my story he's welcome to but the bible also says let no man teach you so I myself maybe having a hard time understanding true faith as compared to mustard seed faith or blind faith, or either saving faith or do we all stumble at times.

Ian welcome to this forum as making a Journey for Jesus is worth understanding in this dry dismal world. As we have all heard many times live in the world but not of the world. I hope your Journey is fruitful and a learning experience. While there is nothing wrong with learning more striving as for something that is everlasting is according to one's measure of faith.

Hello Natalie. I myself am new here and yes the journey for Jesus is a good experience. Of course I get inspiration from reading the bible but view's of others and sharing view's are good and it seems that Chris knows a bit more and all that does come from study. Sure we all want to be on the right tract as it is about salvation and yes truth and grace is a fulfillment of the law.

Chris while the bible is an extensive book are we not all babe's in Christ and have been given a measure of faith according to the word. While a simple grain of mustard seed faith can move mountains. God can use the weak and the strong to help others, As we all should understand love covers a multitude of sins so I hope I am welcome to join. You are right I never really learned that about computer stuff as that wasn't in my up bring desires but with the amount of faith and the belief that God is with all of us in the good times and the bad we are more than conquers.

I guess someone wants me to reintroduce myself. What can I say as we all look for the truth and the truth will set you free. While I am in my mid 60's and we all try to strive to search for the truth that is what its all about and to live right with fellow man. Sure we as humans are in a fight of combating the flesh and the devil. We all seem to have fallen by the wayside in some ways means and form but understanding true justice, and believe that is what Jesus came by truth and grace let no one put us under.

Actually Chris is right and their are many other celebrations or holidays we don't or should not take knowledge of but sometimes we all have to let God be true as even true Christian can be over come by the lack of knowledge their of. Sure my grandmother taught me about a lot of these holidays and also even some of the churches I have attended when I was younger. Celebrations are good if they celebrate life.

My name is James and while I consider myself a Christian I still search for true knowledge. While I have a belief in God and a faith in the son Jesus Christ reviewing the Old Testament as compared to the new is very interesting. While I have e-mailed Chris about my situation and also mentioned about my Grand mother loving Billy Graham Chris shot back to me a remark which I thought was rude but than we all have to question also. Sure a TV evangelist can sometimes sway one but with a grain of mustard seed faith we can all move mountains. At times we can all get down in the valley but it is thru Jesus that he can pull us out of the fire. So I hope you welcome me to this forum and that we all learn something together.
