Why AFF?
 
I enjoy the lively banter and the fellowship of like minded and opposite minded individual. I come and post to discuss my views and I read to understand my views and those of others. I learn some and laugh some.

Why do you post here?

What do you get out of it?

What purpose does AFF serve in your life?

This is the best place to discuss scripture and theology that I have ever found.

It's helped my faith.

It's and interesting and entertaining place.

As different as we are, I believe many of us have the same roots, and shared many of the same experiences. I appreciate the different views as long as it's constructive.

It is fun.
I learn things.
Sometimes I have to walk away for a while.
But I return because it's fun and I learn things. :)

Well for one thing it should give a person second thoughts about just randomly throwing out things that they believe. Of course, I think all that I have read, everyone seems to think they have scripture to back up their doctrine. :foottap Some of the posters must not have scripture???? But, I remember them quoting scripture. And then the opposing view also had scripture??? :boxing Ah, that's one of the benefits of AFF. We can all give OUR OWN interpretation of scripture. :nah

Well there are people who feel that they have all truth. They seek correct others and never learn anything.


But there are those who do search for more truth as God reveals it to them and they are blessed with greater understanding.

Even those who will not learn anything more themselves serve to facilitate the further understanding of others.

So that's why God keeps them around!!! I always wondered that!

I know this.... I sure enjoy the thoughts and input of others. And now I've got to get off of here and get some work done. Can I count this as work??? or is too much fun? :ursofunny

As I have often said... Iron sharpens iron... but only when moving in opposite directions.

I have learned more from those who disagree with me than I have ever learned from those who agree with me.

Well, right now I am at an airport in Brazil...I love posting but hate when people think they have the ONLY truth or some special revelvation that makes them more heavenly...I veiw myself as a pilgrim and I love the company of other pilgrims on our journey.

I don't like to decide who is going to heaven or who is saved....

I LOVE this forum and many of it's members.
