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
I’ve never considered this before. It’s always strange to me that many people don’t believe in Jesus resurrection and eternal life. However being raised in church it comes natural just like getting up in the morning, putting on clothes and brushing your teeth. It’s part of a routine that started before I was born, was walking or talking. I can remember sitting beside my grandma singing hymns. She always sung her favorites a little louder.
I just can’t understand why people don’t believe. We breathe air to live and can’t see it yet we know it’s there. There’s so many things in this world I don’t understand but don’t question its existence. I can’t explain electricity but I know it’s real. I could keep listening things…
Then again there’s people that were born and raised in church and don’t believe. Maybe they are blinded by the devil. That’s a very good observation and question. Many people that turn away from God have been turned off because of things they have seen in the church, especially hypocrites. Another form of blindness, getting you to forget your beliefs because of a few people’s actions in church’s.
We can feel electricity and air on our skin. There is direct evidence it is there. Not so with jesus. You can say you met him and talked with him but what do you mean?
