Well. I am not looking for a big heavy discussion. If the participants arent
going to be friendly then I am not intersted and that is the general vibe
that I hear about it.
I am also not interested in deep theological discusions. I didnt come here
to get into another 2000 post 8 month discussion. Maybe later. But not now
Also, please realize that I come here to be a part of the community as a
regular joe and not to come in and 'preach'. Some preaching is a part of
who I am and is going to come out everywhere I go. But I am not looking to
come here and spend large chunks of time doing soley preaching. I can get
that anywhere.
I ask you this.. What do the people in otd want? If they REALLY want to
discuss Christ then they can just as easily go to another website as I have
been told around here to do. If your goal is to discuss Christ and NOT lego
then that is what you should be doing. So then it begs the question what
are the real goals and motivations? Especially if they are comeing across so
heated as to develop a reputation?
Thanks but count me out.
And if its that off topic it has nothing to do with the Lego and I am here
because I relate to Christ through the Lego and I create my Lego with the
hands of Christ.
So I will not go to otd because of its reputation but also because I am
neither interested in being off topic or in debating.
You need to understand something about me. Christ is not something that I
segregate away from lego, away from people, away from community, into some
off topic debate corner of the world. Christ is a person that comes with me
wherever I go in whatever I do. I exist in the same space is Christ I speak
from the mouth of Christ, i create Lego with the hands of Christ..
I wouldnt be on topic in off topic!
I have no need to go to off topic debate because I am neither off topic nor
going to debate.
Thanks but I'll pass.
And for the record, I am not reading debate so if you guys are saying
anything you want me to hear you are going to have to come out and post it
somewhere else. I am not interested in what debate has to offer.
