Hello from Monroe/Charlotte NC!

[Gig4]

Greetings to all.

I am new here...I am definitely a talker and will post when I see things that interest me...Also, I am an encourager and will probably encourage people through my posts...and also I just wanted to know...Is there a place here for unbelievers or curious people to post here? Is there some kind of limited post rules place where there is a potential to reach out through this site? Just curious because I really enjoy speaking to people on secular threads because it is a great way to show Christ through my words...I feel like truth in love is impoortant and I have been very surprised at how many people will actually listen to me even after speaking with another "christian" who has just judged them and sent them to hell...

I feel set apart from some of those "christians" and feel almost afraid to lump myself with that name (HEAR ME OUT PLEASE) and what I mean by that is that I am more a Christ-Follower than anything...not a religion and not a specific denomination...but straight bible follower...

I feel like religion has ruined a lot of things for a lot of people because of the things that are done in the name of "religion" It is sad really...so I really think that we have a lot of work to do to represent Christ in a true way...we cannot bne ashamed of the Gospel (Romans 1:16) and we should boldly proclaim what the Bible says about the relationship we need with Jesus...Ephesians 6:19-20)

God bless you all and thanks for hearing me out! I look forward to interesting conversation and representing my Jesus!!!

Welcome to the forums brother. Glad you've joined us.

I like your intro. I hate religion itself also and not quite a fan of hypocritical believers who claim, but do not walk or as Scripture says we know them by their fruit. Don't get me wrong, we all mess up now and then, but its one thing to talk the talk and another to truly walk the walk.

Luke 6:43-45

A Tree and Its Fruit

43"For(A) no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44for(B) each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45(C) The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces(D) evil,(E) for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
