================================================ Subject: Re: christianity and CREED From: "Taylour L Manly" To: Date: Tue 8 May 2001 13:54:40 -0700 ================================================ ok i've got to stand up and say something here so prepare yourself. i am a devoute christian and we do not force people to see things our way, neither do we try to. you make us sound like freaks. we are not. i have never tried that. and please don't refer to it as 'the whole christianity thing' it is not a trend!!! i was raised like Scott and though i am still 16 i have asked alot of his questions. all of his songs have reflected all of my emotions. granted some christians get to pushy with their faith i agree with lisa, we need to be a light, and a still steady voice. if what we believe isn't real then why would we be dying for our faith. many up to date researchers have documented Christ as exisiting and they have also said the resurrection had happened, confirming Jesus is real and is Alive! you can't say that for anyone else, they're all still in the grave. as for the christian band i thought they were at first but then i looked deeper at the lyrics and figured out that they weren't. by the way listen to point of grace sometime. they don't "push " anything, well this came out wrong, but it is my belief. and we do falter to. i remember questioning God's love when he took my Grandmother home to heaven seven years ago, when she passed from cancer. and when my friends died in those car crashes i still cry at night. we are not perfect, just forgiven. i am prepared to recieve any angry flames i may recieve so let me shut down my emotions and then let them rip!!! : | X.C.F. (still love you all, even if you don't love me!) 'No matter what comes i will say yes i believe, i believe with all that is in me, yes i believe, though the world rises up against me, i will be faithful, to the choice i have made, i am determined, i will not be ashamed, to live so the whole world can see, i believe..." point of grace, i believe. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
