There was a call to end this thread.  If people want to continue, go ahead.  It has little or nothing to do with what the Christian faith is about though.

What do u mean a call to end this thread? No, it's a good thread and you're doing very well explaining the Christian view, richard. Keep up the good job.

It is increasingly NOT about Christianity, and there is an excess amount of issues that need to be laid out, in order to answer the question about what involves the Christian faith.  What I saw in this thread is a mix of ridicule of the Christian faith, and individuals on the evangelical side, who want to try to convert people to be Christians in it. 

I will also say, if I am one of the top people to get into the Christian faith on here, this thread has problems.  For answers to the Christian faith, it is a lot better to go elsewhere on the web for that, and ask people who know more.

Maybe, but you bring an interesting angle as an Orthodox.

I am actually a convert to the Orthodox faith, after going through about everything else short of maybe Lutheran or Episcopalian (this is on top of being born into the Roman Catholic faith).  I did attend a Pentecostal Church and a Baptist one.  I may of also done Methodist to.  There is also the churches of Christ/Christian Churches, and non-denominational also.  I did offer people a chance to chat about this with me (drop me a personal message), but I think this thread is reaching its end.

I could also discuss a bit about Islam if people like to.  But this thread would ramble way too much.  I could also discuss my experience with the Orthodox faith (Orthodox Church of America, offshoot of Russian).  During service, which is sung the entire time (acapella chanting), outside of preaching and announcements, they serve snacks.  Ok, they are holy bread, but as you leave the service they will have a bowl of bread.  So, you get to grab snacks on the way out.

Anyhow, not sure what this has to do with much of anything.  I think people are more interested in quoting scripture that non-Christians don't care about, or venting how the Christian faith is more evil than Hitler.  I think it is written somewhere about pearls before pigs and good food to dogs not exactly being the wisest thing to do.
