Sorry for all the typos hahahha im using my phone D: Pawwww HUHUHU IVE MISSED YOU TOO HAHAHHAHA I WUV YOUUU <3 [quote=aya;#338676;1372591122]Damn right. [quote=chaw;#338229;1372357825]I know for a fact that the best way to know God, and to get closer to God, is to read His word.[/quote] I tried that before but His words are so cryptic, it made me more confused. I see. Thanks for sharing. I read everything you posted. It kinda helped me. BTW, Is it necessary to go to church every Sunday?[/quote] [spoiler]Hahahah yeah it's really hard to understand and even I, sometimes I read a chapter and read it several times I would still not get. But I just ask God to give me the meaning and in the right time He let me see what He was trying to say in that specific chapter. When I was a new Christian I started reading John. Matthew luke john and mark are all the same except written wih different authors but i don't know, pastors recommend John for everyone who wants to know the basics about Christ. And I think the reason why you say it's cryptic is because of the version Hahaha yeah if you try to read it in king james version, it'all poetic and hard to understand D; I read the New Intrrnational Version (NIV). It's just basic english. Psalms, Isaiah and proverbs and the more poetic books since they talk about the God, his greatness, prophecies, etc. I don't know the answer to that, really Because some people host "video" services I guess so ppl would just watch it. There are many ways to receive the word of God and i don't criticize the televised Sunday services. For me what's just really lacking is the fact that there is no gathering and fellowship of believers if I just watch a service at home. Bible says if two or three are gathered in my name, i will be in the midst of them. I go to church to hear the preachig of god's word, for the awesome fellowship (we have lunch at church ) and also to attend the praise and worship ( where we just sing praises to the Lord). attending church also helps me because if i fail to read the bible the whole week, one way that God can talk to me is through the preaching and I can attest that it's true because when I was weak in my faith and my family was in chaos, God spoke to me through the Sunday word about strengthening o families. I didnt talk to my pastor abt preaching this topic, but he did. I don't think there's such thing as coincidence, I believe everything (i mean EVERYTHING) that has happened in our lives was all planned out by God. Glad I could help!![/spoiler]
