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
Yea, it's mind-boggling to be honest. Do you know of any more verses that address the topic aside from Jeremiah and the first one you sent? I might just send them all instead of trying to discuss it with my own words, they will most likely drag me down a logic path I'm not ready for lol. Inquiring minds
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16
You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. Psalm 139:1
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. Psalm 139:2
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Psalm 139:3
Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. Psalm 139:4
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14
Here are a couple. Though I would still try to use your own words.
If someone doesn't wanna know God, we can't change there mind. Don't be afraid to be wrong. It's ok to admit to the you don't know everything. So if they go down a logic trail it's ok to say give me a little and pray on it or ask others, or look in scripture. It can be a process. Keep at it. You might just be there to plant seeds. We don't always get to see the fruit
THANK YOU! Awesome
