Thanks to you all

I just wanted to say thank you to you all for being a great bunch of people. So many Christian websites are filled with so much war and hatred....everyone attacking each other and spewing hate over each others doctrine. I get enough of that in the real world. To be honest everyone, I get so sick of it and really don't have very many Christian friends because of it. So many Christians make it hard on others to just be themselves. Not once has anyone here attacked me or judged me...thank you. I feel like I can be myself here and believe in the doctrine I think is right. You people are truly a blessing to me.

That is fantastic BT, I have to say it has been a great blessing having you join us here at the CHM family. I think you fit in here with the rest of us just fine (like you were always meant to be here).

I have to confess that I don't have a ton of Christain friends myself (not even at my church). So it is great to have this community of Christian brothers and sisters to chat and share stuff with.

God is great!

I've always wanted everyone to be themselves here. For the most part, I think we accomplish that nicely. We've had a couple of rough patches, but the people causing those tend to get the ban-hammer here.

I don't have a lot of friends--Christian or not. So, when people are wondering why I am attracted to forums, it is because that is where my friends are. I wish someday I could sit around a table and meet all of you. Maybe someday.

Yeah! Someday in Heaven!

I'm glad you appreciate us, BT.

And we're glad to have you here brokentulsa! That is one thing I love about this board, we all come from different backgrounds, countries, demographics, etc. yet we all have the same thing in common: Christ. I wish more people could just get over differences in doctrine, beliefs and lifestyles and just accept each other as brothers and sisters in Christ who have all fallen short of the glory of God, but are redeemed by the blood of His Son!!

I am in the same boat. The bulk of my Christian friends I knew back when I was in high school while at church. That is at least the ones I hung out with. Eventually they all moved out of town and as far as I know they don't get online much. I don't even get to church much as my work schedule has me getting off at 7am and then it is time for bed. So my only real fellowship is thru forums like this even tho' I don't post as much as some.

I would be glad to attack and/or judge you, but the mods would just remove my posts...

I for one am very thankful for ya'all. I'm glad you feel comfortable here BT, there's nothing wrong with that. If that comfort was due to acceptance of false doctrines, it wouldn't be right. We may have our differences in eschatology and ways of doing things in church, etc, but we are all joined together in awesome Koinonia with a common belief in the essentials of who Messiah is and what He's done for us. THAT's all that matters. We've developed some great friendships here without the need to bicker over petty opinions.

Like most here, I ain't got no Christian buddies to just call up and chat/hang out with. So it's great to be able to come here anytime and chat, pray, joke, learn, or just unload some stuff I'm going through... I know that my CHM family will be there, and for that I'm thankful.

That's great to read brokentulsa.

I don't have many friends too, even not in church, so CHM is my home.
On CHM I can be myself and ask when I don't understand things.
It really is a blessing you can be yourself here and there are not argues, fightings when one of us has an other meaning.

It really will be cool the annual CHM come-together will be realitiy and we could meet each other and talk and talk.

Hey, the way I see it, everyone has the right to be wrong.




Just kidding, although if you ever miss the abuse...

It really is good to have you around BT.

Don't worry, old Sabidoo's got enough abuse to go around

Way to toss out those fancy five dollar Greek N.T. terms (there you go showing off that big brain again).

I am almost certain you are the only reason I was made a mod in the first place.

This is a great thread.

I am happy to say that CHM is the best website on the net.

I agree for 100% with you Fundy.

It's a cross I bear, sometimes it's painful.

Considering the source of the first comment, I'd say your job is secure, Staybrite!
