Amen!

 

But we can pray for the Seeker so that our Examples are not what keeps them from God.   We can pray they will still find God past our Examples.

Oh yes Brother, I have done that on my non Christian site, I tried to lead by Jesus example on that site, I failed miserably, but, when I ask the Holy Spirit to lead me by His example, I can see change in my example, it’s all about the Lord, I’m just a vessel that he uses, which thrills me when he uses me,.....Praise God!......who deserves all of the Glory! ?

Red colouring can mean a variety of things. There is a member who identifies as Catholic and is red. I think there is an atheist member who is also red.

And we're able to pray for them ALL!

Good to see you GeoTeddy!

Red coloring (see, that is how you spell it unless you spell flavor flavour) where? On the member name? I'm ignorant of this apparently. I just checked my profile and I don't remember a place where you "identify" as Catholic or otherwise. Maybe that was on the sign up form originally but that was before yesterday when I filled that out.

Blessings,

Hey WiA,

Colour, flavour, etc. respects the source language of the word. 

Anyway, I don't recall ever selecting anything when signing up. I think there is a progression, as I am now purple on my profile as "Diamond Member" - whatever that means (but not on the main fora),  I've just noticed it on a couple members who identify either outside of Protestantism or religion in general have their screen names in red.

If you click on Worthy christian forums, when that page loads, scroll down to who is online, then run the cursor to any name and it it will give a box with general information of that Member, and you will notice the Member names are colored.   But below that is Members offline.   And within that conglomeration of Names, several are red.   Just run your cursor and it tells you in the pop up box if they're Seeker/Catholic/Non Conformist/Etc.

It's come to my attention looking at the names of Members online, some have special coloring from light gray, black, light blue, dark blue, red.   After clicking on those with red I discovered the title of Seeker, which I suppose could mean agnostics trying to discover their belief in God.   But something did shock me about a few of the Seekers here.  They've been here over 5 years and are still [seeking] for the truth.   That left me with some immediate questions.

 

The Bible tells us hearing/reading the Word of God is how we become Believers in God, because this is where the Holy Spirit intervenes between God and God's Creation.   

 

1) Since there's no preaching/teaching on this site, how long would a Seeker need to read thread after thread before the Holy Spirit sends God's invitation?

 

2) If a Seeker has been here more than 5 years, does that mean Believers as Members here [are not] being true examples so the seeker would desire to accept Christ?

 

3) What can we as Believers do better so that Seekers want what we profess to have?

1. There is preaching and teaching on Worthy. A person needs to have Christian discernment to pick out the false teaching. 

2. It is their choice if after being on Worthy 5 years they have not yet come to Christ. We have many choices in our life. We either spend eternity in heaven or in hell. 

3. It is not up to us to save a person. That is God's job to change the heart. All we can do it to post the true literal Word of God and pray for them.

AMEN!

Which is why I am urging us Believers to begin praying for the Seekers so God will intervene.

There are different shades of red for the different groups, the point of this is so that we might know who we are speaking to, and ministering to.

The rest of the colors and name categories under the username are simply part of the software, and is seen on other message boards too.  The color changes according to post count. 

As for seekers and atheists reading and replying here is some scripture on it.

1 Corinthians 14:24 (NIV)
But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all,

Same verse paraphrased (LB)
But if you prophesy, preaching God’s Word, even though such preaching is mostly for believers, and an unsaved person or a new Christian comes in who does not understand about these things, all these sermons will convince him of the fact  that he is a sinner, and his conscience will be pricked by everything he hears.

Let's pray for Conviction then!
