Why Am I Here?

I joined this group so I would have someone to discuss Word in the short time I have left....Now I'm really wondering why I'm wasting my time here....So few want to believe the Word and it seems everybody wants to just argue and fight. It seems most are here to prove how smart and how spiritual they are, but not to learn the Word, not to share good news... No love but a lot of pride.....How does this group differ from any other group? Now I'm doing it too...arguing.... I should leave?

You need to better examine the forum. There are contentious discussions that Christians have been discussing contentiously for hundreds , thousands of years. If you want a peaceful stay, avoid them ;).
 
sounds like a good idea to me,

I see when in person or even on conference calls, people seems to have a little more respect for each-other. On line behind a key board can get a little ugly at times ......@Admon Mikha'el
if we look at it as part of our spiritual growing experience we can actually benefit from other people rudnes, IMO

If we can learn to bridle our tongue when being attacked in a rude manor, now that is a spiritual accomplishment and helps in our growth, because we all know the flesh want us to respond with counter rude attack, it is so easy to be rude to someone who is being rude to us, but it spiritually up lifting not to be rude back and that is hard for me and I fail at times, but working on it.

So AM I hope you stay and continue to grow. I know every time I have considered leaving it was my pride talking to me, so taking brakes from the sight for a week or two or for ever how long really works out good for me, to feel refreshed when I come back. Hope you stick around :)

Well said. Good wisdom there.
 
What are your thoughts @B-A-C , @Chad , @Christ4Ever , @Fragrant Grace @Dave M on having virtual
discussions as part of the TJ setup?

There used to be live chat forums when TalkJesus started up. They kind of fell out of favor over the years.
I "zoom" with people, so it's not a problem for me.

One thing I have learned during all this Covid isolation. Texting and posting messages is NOT the same thing as meeting face to face,
Sometimes people don't ... ummm. communicate or express themselves well. When you read what they write, they are jerks. However when you meet them face to face and get to know them...
they are some of the most caring and loving people you will ever meet.

Eyes and facial express things that a difficult to put into words. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so how much is a live video chat worth?
Also, it takes me an hour to type what I can speak in a couple of minutes.
