Topic: Mailing me salvation ... | |
---|---|
Something I have found quite disconcerting on this site, is people
mailing me, with their need to 'save' me. Praying for me, co-ercing me, begging me, and even threatening me, with fire and brimstone, doom and gloom, and all sorts of interesting alternatives, if I do not repent, and accept Jesus, as my saviour, into my heart. I am NOT singling out any one person, because it has been a quite disturbing number of people, and some, that do not post here in the forums. Not in any of the Community forums in any category. I am comfortable with my belief system, and I would prefer that those that are comfortable in their faith, continue in theirs, without a need to 'save' me. I know a beautiful woman, that I met on a similar site, I call her friend. She has her faith, her's strong in Jesus Christ, a good and gentle christian woman, she respects that we don't share the same beliefs, and allows me to follow my path. She deserves my respect for her humaness, her gentle faith, and her 'doing good', everywhere she goes. Never has she asked me to follow her faith, look at it, or anything alse, she says her piece, and I say mine, and at times, I may get a mention in her prayers. Her faith is private, but her heart, her humanity is open. To those that feel compelled to 'save' me...please don't. I am comfortable in my world. And I will not try to save you, unless of course, your house is burning down. I think that is fair...and reasonable. |

They are either not brave or stupid enough ...
or there is no hope!!! Not that it will make you feel any better ... but no one wants to save me either!! |

I had to check my profile, I thought maybe there was a giant arrow
pointing, with a 'here' marked on it. And I am happy to say thanks, but no thanks, but it seems like National Salvation month... And I guess I should be honoured, that these people, feel I have something worth 'saving'. |

I know where you are coming from, I get them, too.
And I see them as an intrusion in my private life, which is just that, private. Hey Sherrie, glad to see you |
