Are you a good person??

[buckee]

Nope. nothin good about me..I'm just saved, by his Grace. Thank God.

you started this on kisky.com forum and I do agree with you, I am very close to God, go to church every sunday and try to live a life as close to Jesus as I can, I am human and do slip up sometimes but I believe i can go to confession and be forgiven.

I do agree with you and we are on the same page but you gotta realize there are some people out there that don't believe or think the same way. Hammering this stuff at them isn't the way to get them to listen or think about what you are saying. The thing in Kisky got out of hand and hopefully this doesn't.

Way to introduce yourself.

Hey bornagain, I'm glad you have such strong convictions about your faith in Christ. I share some of the same convictions. However, I think the way you've gone about it in this post leaves a lot to be desired. Have you ever heard the saying "People don't care what you know until they know you care"? This was your first post and that's how you want people to know you? Try creating some relationships first and then share the love of Christ with those you become close to. God Bless

I am pridefull, but saved by the Grace of God through the blood of His Son.

I believe I am a good person regardless of whether I am in church or not. Even though I was raised in church I do not regularly attend now, but I was raised with certain values to treat people fairly and decently regardless of who they are. I am trying to quit smoking, I don't drink anymore, I am trying to curb my swearing but every now and then one slips out, I don't lie and I don't steal. So basically I feel I am a good person, but I strive to be a better one.

As far as people's reactions as to how you introduced yourself in here, some will welcome it while others will shun it. If there are some on here that do shun your beliefs, it doesn't necessarily make them a bad person, as far as I am concerned everyone on here is a good person, I haven't really been proved wrong on that belief, I may have my doubts on a couple, but it is hard to really know who a person is by letters and numbers on a screen.

So true. BTW - I have the oddest feeling that bornagain has been on here before???

You can still be a good person without believing in your god or a book of opinions. By the same token, you can read and preach the book every day but if you are a bad person it does not mean much.

Anyway, welcome to the forums.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree.
You have opened with quite a hard expression of salvation. I know that before I excepted Jesus as my saviour I was turned off by this approch. Not that It won't work with some people. But from my experince talking about the grace that god offers is a much better way to open up with. God Is a loveing father who offers love and grace through his son Jesus. Being confronted with our sins is his job. I cant call you a sinner unless i am without sin. Please don't feel condamation in these remarks, That in not my purpose in saying this. I pray that the love of God will come out of this subject post. And that no one will be pushed away from the only truth. Welcome to the forum.
