Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The first thing God would say in the Old Testament when he spoke to individuals was “Fear not!” Have faith because God is in control.
Also, the miraculous gifts bestowed to the apostles and then to others by the apostles, stopped. They were given to them by the Holy Spirit to prove the gift of the Holy Spirit received during baptism was real. Christians have the spirit inside as their guide to right and wrong. We live by our faith in Christ and what he’s done for us, and not looking to miraculous signs today. This is NOT to say miracles do not happen. Just know that miracles occur by faith in God.
I appreciate you replying to my post about God and the devil on my back. I apologize it's taken me several days to reply.
You said Fear not!” Have faith because God is in control
Thanks for the reminder. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and have a good weekend.
