Have a great week people, and if you do the survey, thanks a billion!
And thanks for reading and commenting. It makes me smile and I love to respond and talk to ya!:)
1.Do you attend a religious service/church?(What do you believe?)
ReplyDeleteYes - I'm a Christian. At home I go to church on a Sunday morning (although I usually help with the kids rather than be in the service) and at uni I go to a service in the morning, and a more studenty one in the evening. Here I also go to Christian Union at uni.
Awnser Yes:
2.Do you like it?Why?
Yes! I love it!! I love it because I get to worship God and also learn so much about Him. Other things I love are that at morning church (hardly any students there) I am made to feel so welcome and everyone really takes an interest in how I'm doing. Evening church (mostly students) is really chilled out and a group of us head to the pub after to socialise and get to know each other better.
3.Do you ever get distracted from church by technology ?(or anything else?)
Not quite sure what you mean by this but here is my answer - I don't get distracted by my phone or ipod etc because I keep them in my bag. Sometimes I get distracted just by my thoughts, or also by people around me and wondering what they're doing or thinking. I notice it especially at evening church. A guy I sort-of-but-can't-really-figure-it-out like goes there and especially if he's sitting by me, even if I'm singing with my eyes closed I'll sometimes look up to see if he's near me, wonder if he can hear me, that kind of thing. Sometimes I'll also look up to see if other people have their hands raised etc, or to check other people around me are still standing. So I guess my biggest distraction in church is what other people are doing or think of me.
4. How do you view people who don’t belive in any God or don’t believe the same as you?
I don't look down on them in any way, but I feel sad that they don't have this relationship with God. I pray for them.
5.Why do you believe what you do?
I guess the fact that I was brought up going to church is an important factor - but it's not the ONLY one. My sister was brought up just the same and she doesn't go anymore (although I think she would still call herself a Christian). It's just that I have experienced so much of it (and yet, so little, compared to many other people) that I KNOW it's true.
How's that? :)
1. Nope
ReplyDelete2. I view them as I view anyone else, my friends/ random people. I am not going to challnde their beliefs, tha is personal.
3. Ju how I have viewed the world/explainations. Evolution, science fiction, etc.
4. A place where people of a fait go to religious services, and meet others who share their same beliefs.
1. Yes, I attend a Christian church.
ReplyDelete2. I like it because I feel more connected with God, I'm learning more about him, and I'm worshiping him with other believers. Corporate worship is powerful. I love listening to pastors because they know a lot about what they're preaching about, and they've studied and researched it.
3. I do get distracted by technology, not MY technology, but the technology of others around me, like if they're texting. Or if they're talking to the person next to them or whispering or laughing.
4. I view them as people in need of a savior. I don't think any less of them.
5. I believe what I do because I grew up in a Christian family and we went to church, so that's when I heard about God. Since then, I've seen the work of God in my life and in the lives of others, and I've had no reason to stop believing in God. I've questioned my faith, and every time I come to the same conclusion: God is real and God loves me.
You can quote me if you want, although that might be a little hard since you don't know my name. :)
Thank you for the awnsers guys!:) Feel free to keep awnsering these questions if you havent already.
ReplyDeleteHey Just Me and Anonymously Me, what would your alias be? (it can be as riduculous as you want.:D)
I don't care, feel free to make up a name :)
ReplyDelete1.) I am a Christian yeah, I choose to attend 3 churchs and get updated via podcast by 3 other churchs. No definite church I guess you could say.
ReplyDelete2.) I like listening to different churches and sermons because I feel it makes me a more rounded person, plus no two people will always view the same story the same way. Its always interesting to see things from another view.
3.) I believe technology has actually enhanced my relationship experiance with Jesus. I've never known technology to really hurt the church. I believe though that its common courtesy to turn off your cell phone and pager in church.
4.)I view people that don't believe the same as me as just another person who needs to have a loving relationship with Jesus. Each persons story is different so I try not to judge the person until I know them.
5.) Why do I believe what I do, that is a good question and would entitle me to tell my life story, unfortunitly these boxes are not ment for such a story so if your interested I can send you it through email.
This was rather fun keep up the good work friend!
