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 evolving
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
First Verse.
Micah 6:8
u/#ridetofreedom
Second verse.
Colossians 2:8 (NET)
Early church father Origen of Alexandria wrote a rebuttal of Celsus's accusations against Christianity. One accusation was that Christians run a "secret system", which was that the multitude was taught the entry-level teachings, while the inner circle of Christians were taught the mysteries and wisdom of God. The multitude was the gentiles, who were pagans before their conversion. These people, with their pagan mindsets, were incapable of comprehending the higher reality of the soul.
This is very serendipitous. I was just having a conversation with somebody on PDW, who is trying to tell me the Bible is not real based on some guys evaluation. I don’t remember the guys name but whatever just some dude. Anyway this is the scripture that I posted.
”As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.“ Colossians 2:6-8, 10 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/col.2.6-10.NKJV
This is a memory verse that I was given by my family before I was to go to Hawaii to be discipled by them. I will always remember the scripture and it is indelible, on my heart and mind. Thanks for sharing this today. It’s just a reminder of a good time, and focusing on God.
