March 10, 201214 yr Nick Saban, and said it to the Reporters after the Press conference after Bama destroyed LSU, who only crossed mid field two times, once during the game and once on the way to the bus...Send me a prize. :banana: :jump: :popcorn:
March 10, 201214 yr Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men". Followed by "You can't handle the truth!" :lol:
March 10, 201214 yr Did I do that? yep, lets look at in detail... "WE" People of the Way which is a term used before they were called Christians. I am a Christian so "We" refer to the Christians on BGPs. "Face you" means meet. Pretty easy, but we meet non Christians nay sayers in all walk of life. Kids at school, camps, teams, jobs, on the highways, etc. Face you also means people on here BGPs who want to bring up comments to down play down our beliefs. We face people like that un believers than we face on the Christian side. That means all the time which is a lot. The Church we now attend is the 3rd largest in America, they have just 20K at three churches every week end, now add the churches from Louisville that are also nice size, but look at the population of metro Louisville over a million! Its not even close, so the non believers rank the believers by a tremendous amout. Its always been like that. Hope this helps. Man, I thought I had won with Nick... Oh wait I did in the long run...ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

March 10, 201214 yr So, people hat don't go to church are non-believers? Durn iPad! "hat" should be "that"...:lol:
March 11, 201214 yr So, people hat don't go to church are non-believers?Well, thats a hard question 1st Samuel 16:7. The LORD knows their heart. But if they choose to not go just because of reason they will be judged. We are told to attend Church and worship and have fellowship. If there is a reason they don't/can't go thats between them and the LORD, BUT, if they choose not to attend that is going against God which is a sin. God and Sin are not allowed together. But,, why wouldn't a Christian not want to go to Church? Acts 2 talks about the early Church. In Acts 20:7 we are told when to break bread. Paul gives instuctions to Churches in almost all his letters. John writes about Jesus calling out the 7 Churches in revelation. Jesus tells Peter "On you I'll build my Church" So, people that do not go are most certainly non Believers, and they are rejecting Jesus which is the only Sin that will not be Forgiven. Great question.
March 11, 201214 yr About a year ago I wrote a long post I started about Salvation. In it I'm sure I said.."being a Christian and living that life style is one of the hardest things a person can do".. If you read posts on here as we defend the Gospel and high profile Christians like Tim, you see that I was right on. Its very hard in all aspects, but also its also very easy once the Holy Spirit guides you. I have had some very moving experinces with others who hate what we stand for face to face. Not like on here. This on here can't compare face to face encounters.
March 11, 201214 yr Durn iPad! "hat" should be "that"...:lol: thought it was a Trimble County thing, I get roasted every day about my speech. :idunno:

Jesus tells Peter "On you I'll build my Church" So, people that do not go are most certainly non Believers, and they are rejecting Jesus which is the only Sin that will not be Forgiven. Great question. Well, there are at least a dozen ways of interpreting Jesus tells Peter "On you I'll build my Church" not the least of which is a fundamental difference between catholicism and other branches of Christianity. However, I won't focus on that "Great Schism"...instead, I'll simply ask, what is the rate of Church attendance that will qualify someone as a believer? If I miss a Sunday, am I non-believer for that next week? If not, what if I missed three Sundays in a month? As what point is the line crossed from believer to non-believer? BTW...what am I "believing" specifically, to be a believer? That I need to go to church? Jesus tells Peter "On you I'll build my Church". As Jesus teaches us through parables and metaphors, why does the Church have to be a physical building, if it is built upon me? Lastly, I'll leave with this saying, though I forget where I heard it. "Being in a church no more makes one a Christian, than being in a garage makes someone a mechanic." (Actually, I think that the original line was "car" in place of "mechanic" but it makes more sense to me that way.)
March 11, 201214 yr There are many reasons why some don't go to church, some are valid reasons. Often, in my opinion, it's just plain laziness. My answer to why should you go is simple, the Eucharist. You can pray and read scripture all you want at home, but you can't receive the Eucharist at home. Unless, of course, you're ill or "shut in" for whatever reasons and you can then have the Eucharist brought to you.

March 13, 201214 yr Larry, you do realize that Jim Schue is (to the best of knowledge anyways) a Christian, right?
