Are there ANY Christians on RIU?

All I see is a bunch of God-bashing, monkey-metamorphisis, space alien, crazy-ass beliefs, on here, and being a minister of the Universal Life Church, I'm almost tempted to roll up shop and go elsewhere... Just wondering... Little bit of a check here.... I am tolerant of anyones beliefs, but there is a great in-tolerance of anything Christian I ever say when people talk about their far-fetched, man-made, dreamed up concoctions of science and sci-fi, and whatever... Whatever happenned to just believing that Christ died for our sins, and that God created everything, including cannabis, which is clearly pointed out, and spoken HIGHLY of many times in The Bible? Anyone? Seriously, anyone?

Of course there are christians on RIU, some of my favs are Eye Exaggerate, Hep, Oly and another new guy with a monkey as an avatar who I think is also christian. They are all intelligent and participate in good debates. We have no problem with their faith, because they do not present it as fact, merely their belief. Any claims posted as reality that cannot stand up to simple logic and scrutiny, or has no empirical evidence, does get bashed here and that's a beautiful thing. It indicates that we are making progress as a species. Belief without evidence is fine, but it won't be taken seriously in this sub-forum...

We are here. I'm just tired of the immaturity of the responses.

It's hard to walk on faith. I've experienced some great things because of faith.

Glad to hear there's some other believers out there... Thought I was alone, again...

right here comrade

Fairly certain that if you're a Christian, AND you're on RIU, you're going to hell. . . . . . if you believe in Christianity. .... . . interesting. I've got no hate for you though. Just don't push it on me. Keep it green. Keep it happy.

I see by the amount of post's you have you've been here a bit, so you know the heat one can get for their belief's.
You are correct in the bashing - there are a few members here that are rabid in their hatred of God or anything linked to religion and even mention of our Lord will bring on flames faster than Michael Jackson's fro gel.
One thing I have yet to see is anyone flaming a non-believer for their convictions.
Just my take, but in response, Yes - Christ is my savior.

I have never in my life met a real Christian, let alone on RIU.

Really? Then you'll love this new guy, Chief Walkin Eagle. Here's two threads where he does nothing but flame us. Of course, he ends up looking like an idiot, but it doesn't slow him down...

I think other people would listen to you words if you didn't contradict yourself so thoroughly: " I am tolerant of anyones beliefs,...."
and then " All I see are a bunch of God-bashing, monkey-metamorphisis, space alien, crazy-ass beliefs, on here,...." What is your definition of 'tolerant', because I dona think it means what you think it means.

How does consuming herb make you destined for hell?

Alrighty then... I dont push it on anyone guy... Im fairly certain that if u read the Bible, and go back to the Hebrew texts, u will see that using kaneh-bosm, or cannabis is not a sin, and wont land one in hell... But thanks for trying to guess where my soul will end up when I die... I aint got any hate for u either, I just think that if everyone can say their piece on my Lord and Saviour, then I am also entitled to say my piece back... Imo definately keep it green, and happy, and believe what I feel convicted to believe, and live my life by... I was just asking for MY fellow Christian pot-heads to answer my call, and I see I am not alone... Read up on the Universal Life Church, and The Bible and cannabis... Just sayin... Not pushin... I didn't make this stuff up...

It most certainly doesn't... I believe whole-heartedly, just as God told Moses to use it in the same Holy Annointing Oil (Exodus 30:22-33)that Christ Himself was annointed with later on, (i.e. The Annointed One), and the same thing God told Aaron to burn as a sweet insence to Him(Exodus 30:7-10) , and the same "plant of renown" that God speaks of in Ezekial 34:29-30, and in Genesis 1:11, 12, and 29, where God said He gave it to us, and said It Is Good- onto The Song of Soloman, 4:8-16, where King Soloman speaks of his gardens of kaneh-bosm, among other plants, and David talks about how God causes the herbs to grow to be used for the service of man, in Psalms 104:14, 15, and 32, and of the tree of life in Revalation 22:1-3, and MY personal mission statement, He gives us in Isiah 42:1-9- This cannot be a thing of evil, as long as one does not place it before Christ, as an idol and "abuse" it... It is to be used for our healing in every way, and I believe for the Christian who sees these things, that it makes God happy... Just saying what I believe in, with some references to go by, and I am not pushing this on anyone, in any way... Take it how u will... Peace...

Mabye so, mabye so... Im not perfect, nor is everything I say perfect, in any way... I just see way more of these other idealogies than mine, and have been bashed about my beliefs, and so, if I have stepped on anyone's feet by what I have said, I apologize... Seriously... Don't let idiots like me cloud what u may come to see, and if I have contradicted myself, I didn't mean to do so...

hahaha YES!

I am very glad to hear this GreatwhiteNorth... I didn't mean to lash out at anyone, as I am a sinner, and fall way short of the Glory of God, and have to ask forgiveness of my actions like anyone else... I guess I messed up in my words, and shouldve put some more thought into it before I spoke... It only happenned because of the indignities I have felt from some of the hatred and disrespect some others have been very vocal about concerning our God...For this, I will seek forgiveness, as I hope I have not led anyone astray, or damaged the spreading of His Word and His love for all of us, believers, non-believers, and all... He loves us all... And I love everyone with all my heart, but like Him, I suppose I am a bit jealous and I can't just sit back and let my faith be stomped upon as if it were trash... Itz a hard thing to share with many people, and everyone will not agree, or ever come together, on this or anything else in life, for that matter... I just had to see if I had some Brothers and Sisters in Christ on here is all, really... Thank you all for standing up with me... As they say, "if u don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything"... And, also to whoever it was who said God wouldnt get "Jebus" off of the cross- It was not the nails that held Him up there, but love... He had a choice, just as we all do, and He chose to become a perfect sacrifice for all of the world's transgressions, so that we might be saved... Surely, if everyone who speaks of their separate faiths can speak out, then I also can do so...

Well, I do hope u r able to meet a REAL Christian one day... You'd be surprised where God plants us... He doesnt just want us to stay in Churches and not spread His Word... We have to get out there(yes, even on this website) and try to be fishers of men... May God bless you tip top...

Yes, but we must also be aware of how our tounges can damage a would-be believer's vision of "what a Christian should be", so that they don't see one of us and hear our words, and think one way about God, when it isn't so... We have to be fishers of men, and use etiquite, and try to be as open-minded as we r open-armed with the spreading of our faith...
