"Debra, Where do you live. I wish it was close to me. I am in Indiana about an hour and a half from Chicago. I also read Pagan Christianity and was amazed and it helped me to understand how Christianity became a "religion" instead of Christ…"

Debra KaRP commented on Mary's blog post What is the purpose of the New Testament?"Mary:
A few yrs. ago,the1st book I read was by Matthew Narrymore, about tithing. I was surfing the internet & found Seedsowers.com. I bought his book, thinking it was just another gimmick, but I was reeled in, hook, line, & sinker.(I am a…"
Mary commented on Mary's blog post What is the purpose of the New Testament?"Wow Debra, Your experience sounds a lot like what John (husband) and I went through. We are at the same place. It's been a year since we stopped going to church. It has been so freeing yet we long to connect to God's people without the…"
Mary commented on Mary's blog post What is the purpose of the New Testament?"Recently I finished reading The Shack by William Young, and So You Don't Want to go to Church Anymore by Wayne Jacobsen.
Both were awesome books and really addressed many questions I have pondered for a long time.
I'm really an…"

Wil Bethke commented on Mary's blog post What is the purpose of the New Testament?"The Gospels fall into place for me when I read emotions and feelings into the story’s in the bible.
Jesus is my lord and Savior, but the connecting link for me is in Gal 5:22 and 23. The Fruit of
The spirit. Those 9 Character traits that know…"
"Mary;
As you know and reflect upon the past years, you remember all that you have been through as a Christian, starting with the day you received the Lord. Then into that 'great idea' but unfortunate situation you called "low…"
Mary commented on Nathan Lambshead's blog post Do you blame yourself for failing over how your children turned out?"I have agonized over my children for a few years now. It seems that my husband and I must of done everything WRONG. I compared them to my friends grown up kids who had degrees, good jobs, nice spouses, blah, blah, blah. Then one day while I was…"

What is the purpose of the New Testament?
Posted on August 15, 2009 at 10:38am 13 Comments 0 Likes
I dedicated my life to Christ at the age of 20. I belonged to a bible believing church (so I thought) all my adult Christian life. (I am 54) Many of the questions I have concerning the New Testament have never been addressed. When I bring them up I get these nods, words of concern, and pat answers.
The first time I read some of Viola's writings on this subject I was amazed. He was talking about the very things I had been thinking and praying about for years.

Jo Lynne Deaver left a comment for Loretta Rodrigues"Loretta,
Thanks for sharing. I have been a Christian since 1985. I guess that would be 27 years. About a year and a half ago I started questioning why I believed some of things I had been taught. In the last 6 months or so I also have read…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"I had hoped what I said made sense. Sometimes I don't articulate what I'm trying to communicate. Nothing is to be construed as to limit what the Holy Spirit can and will do since he is like the wind. It is not for us to always understand…"
Loretta Rodrigues left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Hi Jo Lynne, Thanks for your warm welcome. I've been a Christian ( I was raised a catholic ) for the last 7-8 years and attended a NT (Pastor led) church for about a year. My husband is an unbeliever and rabidly so! He…"

Maegan Verrett left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Thanks for your comment, Jo Lynne! I'm hoping to find some others like myself here in NE. It's quite lonely being the only one around. I've got my parents, but it's just not the same. You know? Thanks again! Have a great…"

Jo Lynne Deaver replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"Jonathon,
Thanks for your reply. You are an encouraging and confirming voice. What you said was very much needed. I too had been told in the past that a person could be "so heavenly minded you're no earthly good.' But that…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"To address your first paragraph: I, too, have been somewhat dismayed to see very little activity and interaction with this excellent medium. Kenny put a lot into this and it is a shame it isn't maximized.
Second paragraph: Simply: Be ready,…"
