Throw James in there too 4. I currently am a member at a CRC church called Providence. I have a very diverse background as far as Christian denominations and traditions. All of them Protestant, ranging from Independent Baptist (KJV only,suit and tie to church, church 3 times a week) to Assemblies of God (speaking in tongues, prophecy, much louder worship smile ) . I guess I would say that I'm just a follower of Jesus. I try to keep things simple and let the Spirit lead me in the Truth. I love where I'm at now and am looking forward to what God has for me in the future. 5. USA, Michigan, Grand Rapids 6. Blue 7.

Welcome to the guild Michael. My wife is from Michigan. smile Keeping things simple seems to be the best. How long have you been a Christian? I am asking because I get the impression you have visited been a part of quite a few denominations. |

Hi! You can call me myu smile I've been on Gaia for quite some time now...but I wasn't very active for a while, especially since I first used this account to satisfy really...terrible things while still pretending to be a Christian in the real world. And I took a break from it, from everything. In the past year, Christ has been calling me back to him by doing really amazing things in my life, and I've also been more and more active on Gaia recently (I could not believe the inflation in the Gaian economy. Wow.) so I thought I could like, do something on here like find community with other Christians smile
1. Name your pets -- My dormmates and I have a Betta fish named Norbert (like the dragon in Harry Potter)
2. Favorite Bible Verse -- Ephesians 4:6-8 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, through prayer, petition, and with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
A close second is my fellowship's theme verse for the school year, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary struggles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." I don't have the second one fully memorized thought.
3. List your favorite book of the Bible -- Probably Genesis and John. But to be honest, I haven't read the majority of the books in one chunk to really know what my favorite book is.
4. Your denomination/beliefs -- I agree with everything on your "We Believe" page. smile
5. The name of your country -- USA. My family's from the Philippines, though.
6. Your favorite color -- Green. Chartreuse green.
7. Your occupation -- college student.

Meili Kyumee Youichi Hi Becca, I know right! It's glad to have a Christian community 4laugh Just out of my curiousity, why don't you believe in trinity question I dont believe it because it's not Biblical.
Jesus never said he was god, he actually denied it in the gospels.
as for the famous line that he and god are one. Also in marriage me and my husband have been yolked and now we are one, but we are not the same person.
there are to many scriptures to disprove the trinity, the trinity came along after Jesus. if the trinity is indeed true then it makes no sence what so ever,
the whole idea of jesus crying out to himself on the cross,
jesus praying to himself? that hints more to a crazy man.
Jesus was the SON of god not a crazy man, he was at one with his father. not the father.
If jesus sits at the right hand of god how can he be god?
if only the father knows the time of the end, if jesus is god why doesnt he know the time?
God loved the world so much he gave his only SON. he didn't give HIMSELF.
never stop asking questions smile the truth will come.
i think the answers are clear, especially for myself. i had no religious influence on what exactly to believe when i was growing up. i came to jesus and the bible with an open mind. and thats what i saw. my husband is also like minded in the trinity.
thanks for asking, knowledge is a gift from god.
have a lovely day. |

Hey there, guys! (Sorry, was planning on writing this a week ago... Been kind of busy lately.) My name is Vance, but you can call me that or Novus, whatever's your preference smile
1. Jack Russell Terrier named Sadie. We adopted her from a missionary family from our church that's furthering our outreach in the Dominican Republic smile
2. I've always loved Romans 38-39:
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -NKJV
3. Favorite book of the bible... Old Testament - Daniel, New Testament - I Corinthians.
4. Biblically based, Jesus-loving Christian (non-denominational)
5. 'Merica!
6. Blue
7. Forklift repair technician. Also one of the worship leaders at a Calvary Chapel.
I'm fairly new at conducting and leading worship for a congregation, and the Lord is constantly showing me new things and guiding me on this unfamiliar road. As I travel on His path, I'd be more than willing to share with the whole group smile I'm sure the Lord will reveal Himself in a way that's not only pertinent to leading worship, but to everyone. Worship is one of the most amazing parts of a Christian lifestyle; not for the music alone, but the fact that we get to spend time lifting praises to our Savior in a state of emotional and spiritual euphoria.
"Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises." -Psalm 98:4 NKJV

have a lovely day. We weren't made to understand the ways of God... Spiritual things are not easily understood by natural minds. Philippians 2:5-10 "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient even to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Capital L), to the glory of God the Father." Jesus is the One who was, is and is to come; was sinless and didn't consider it robbery to be EQUAL with God. Reference to the Trinity: Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..." The word "trinity" may not be in scripture, but the concept is. Likewise, the Lord is worthy of ALL glory. For Him to direct us to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, He would have to LOWER Himself in His own eyes to match the levels of the Son and the Holy Spirit, thereby NOT receiving all the glory. UNLESS the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were all God in three persons. God bless smile |
