I haven’t given it any thought. Does it matter to them if I think it would afford them any virtue? I doubt it. Do they think it would afford them any virtue if they followed my example? Only they could answer that question. As far as I’m aware, none have followed my example. Maybe they haven’t...

I can understand that. I hope that being here helps you cope with it. I’m here, primarily, for some respite from the stress of caring for a cancer patient. Well said. I would also like to hear in this thread from persons who don’t self-identify as Christian. Atheists, for example. Are they...

Thanks. No, I don’t. If I was trying to convert anyone - which is an exercise in utter futility - I wouldn’t have changed my registration to “Other Faith” and voluntarily denied myself access to the audience which has posting privileges in the “Christian’s Only” forums of the Board. Do you...

“Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley

What could possibly go wrong with denying that Jesus is a Jew? I’m currently reading The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany, written by Susannah Heschel.

Who‘s the loser in the way that real life scenario played out? Was it him? Was it me? It was both of us. He lost his audience and I lost the opportunity to hear, reconsider and potentially change my mind. And then, of course, there are the others: persons indirectly involved as interested...

Everyone has good days and bad days. All of us can do better. Proverbs 19:11 We’re ahead of the curve when we recognize and acknowledge it in ourselves. I make it a habit to periodically revisit some of my posts. I’m usually satisfied, sometimes disappointed and occasionally down right...

You don’t believe what I believe -> You don’t have a love of the truth. Someone said that to me here not long ago. Did it open my mind or close it? (I haven’t bothered to read anything else the fool posted. I hope, for that person’s sake, that he wasn’t trying to convert me.)

Talking donkeys. Internet discussion forums are magnets for them.

Let’s include that scenario in our discussion. Changing our minds about anything = a conversion. There are atheists on the Board. Agnostics, Jews, Muslims, Christians of various types and doubtless other faiths too. Are any of them here with the intention of converting others to whatever it is...

This is an important point. My question to anyone who steps forward and says they are here to convert people: How’s that working out for you? Internet discussion forums are notoriously toxic environments. I’ve been active on several since the mid-90’s. In all that time, I’ve seen very few...

More general, but not ruling out anything. I’ve observed that too.

A few days ago a member of the forum asserted that I’m here to convert people. The assertion is false but it has caused me to wonder if there are members - Christian and / or non-Christian - who post on Christianity Board with the intention of converting other members - or persons who are...
