Conversation:

[Burl]

To 'converse' is to be involved in the 'converting' process.

A good 'listener' is 'listless' in that a good listener isn't swayed one way or another by the conversation in progress.

It is hard for me to judge whether I am a good conversationalist but I think I am a good listener.

"If you are Atheist, Agnostic or are dead against the idea that Jesus will save ALL mankind, tell us so in your welcome thread, for Theists, tell us your faith too, helps us understand where you are coming from."-

Perhaps Jesus will save all mankind (*see, I'm not dead against it). I believe there are contradictions in the Bible such as the piece about evangelism in the Spirit rather than the Word (Was that Corinthians?)

Unbeknownst to me perhaps I am here to convert you, thru conversation (as such I'm sure I would be the worst enemy to many of you).

Either ban me immidiately ( as an indication that this site is not open to conversational influences)  or ban me later on some technicality or wait untill I wander on.

Welcome Burl, I appreciate good conversation, especially with people of differing perspectives.

Hello, Burl!   :icon_flower:  Welcome aboard!

Hi Burl,

:welcome: to the Tent!

You will not get banned for your beliefs, people only get banned when they make their attacks personal. Even then, it's only for a season ( usually 2 weeks) not eternally  :laughing7:. Unless of course one spams or post porn or something like that!  :thumbdown:

Burl, we are here to learn from each other, you will find many here seeking the truth and not just preaching some doctrine. Doctrines' and Creeds come and go but the truth remains the same!    :boyheart:

Peace,
Paul

Welcome Burl! I'm proof you won't get banned for believing differently! :Yeahright: Hope you like it here!
