Christian Friends

Hi, I am a Christian. Good to see you message. Hope you have a lovely day, and good luck on your journey!

I am a Christian Quaker and would love to have other Christian friends!

I am a Christian too

ME! I love Jesus MORE than food!!!

Happily married man with two amazing kids does it matter where I spend my Sundays? If you are only limiting your friends to those who label themselves you might be missing out on meeting some amazing people. I like to base my friendships on how a person treats me and others not how they label themselves. Just my 2cents of course.

Would you say that if the title of the thread was ‘cycling friends’ or ‘Pilates friends’ or ‘Angel Worship friends’? Often times the need to have Christian contacts is not to filter out friendships based on mutual respect but a non Christians differ in their ability to empathise in the reference points or reasons for doing things. What’s more some non Christians are incapable of simply respecting Christianity. To filter out these scenarios it’s good to make connections with those who have the same basic belief.

Just want to start off with a disclaimer that I am not angry or hold anything against anyone or judge anyone on this thread. I just enjoy having friendly conversations with people.

Well since this is a fitness forum what does ones religious belief have to do with anything? If it was titled Cycling or Pilates that makes sense because they have to do with the topic at hand, fitness. I was raised in a LDS home and quit going to church because of the labels put on people with religious beliefs. I quit going to church because of the stipulation that we need to have the same faith or we can't be friends. Kind of seems to go against the few parts of the bible that I did read. " Love thy neighbor as thyself". doesn't mention anything about only love thy neighbor if they go to the same church. Now I have tried going back to about a dozen different churches all with the same outcome and experience except one. Some of the Christian churches my family went to spent the entire day without a single person even talking to us or asking who we were. Others as soon as they found out we were just seeing if this church was a fit didn't seem to have the time to want to make us feel welcome. The only exception to all of my experiences was when we were invited to our neighbors church. They are Mennonite and we watched their eldest son graduating from school. Now their church and school are one building and we only know a couple families from our area but every single person we saw introduced themselves and made us feel like welcome. We sat at a table with about 20 perfect strangers but within minutes we were holding conversations talking and laughing as though we had all been friends for years. The entire group were some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I still try to treat everyone I meet with respect and don't pass judgement until they give me not to.
