How far do you believe you can go as a Christian?

Arkie69 @Arkie69 (2156) • United States 29 Sep 08

Do you believe you can become what Jesus was with all of God's wisdom and power that Jesus had? Or do you believe that is way beyond what you could ever become? Be honest and tell me what you think.

AlanCrookham Matthew 5:48 "Be ye perfect, just as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect." Jesus wouldn't give us this command if it wasn't possible. However we certainly don't start there, but I do believe it is possible to get there.

October is the Rosary Month. Do you pray the rosary?

want2bmommy @want2bmommy (20) • Philippines 3 Oct 07

We, Catholics, do pray the rosary, but I bet not all of us know it by heart. Maybe most of us are just doing the responses but never made it to lead a rosary. Do you pray the rosary by the heart? When was the last time you pray...

AlanCrookham Nope, I don't pray the rosary. I am a Christian but I prefer to pray something that comes from my heart rather than prayers that have been prewritten. That is a great saying though, "The family that prays together, stays together." That is certainly true and...

AlanCrookham Well, I would disagree with Jesus having any descendants. However you do make a good point about his followers. It is true that most likely his disciples and Apostles had children, I believe Peter was married. However because they were Jewish is most likely...

AlanCrookham Non-Christians are called non-believers because they do not believe in Jesus Christ as Lord. Of course you are right that a Bhuddhist believes and so on, everyone believes in something. However for Christians a non-Christian is someone who doesn't follow the...

AlanCrookham No, I haven't been lost in Christianity. The reason why is because I learned something very important a long time ago. That being that men come up with all kinds of doctrines and each denomination has it's own little quirks, but true Christianity is that of...

Would you change your religion?

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 19 Jan 08

Just wondering what are your thoughts on this. Most people are born into a particular relgion and tend to stay in it,from my observations anyway. It seems rare that someone would change from what their family practices. Would you...

AlanCrookham I would change my religion if I could be convinced that mine is wrong. I would never want to follow a lie. The only reason I am a Christian is because I have seen that it is real and it works. Check out my blog!

AlanCrookham Yep, I do go to church regularly, although I pray a lot every day even when I'm not in church. I'm a missionary so just about everything I do has to do with God, as a matter of fact I preached the sermon in church this morning. I agree with you that God is...
