>>nor am I here to convert anyone.<<

Then just why are you here?

>>Surely you can say something positive about your faith, or about your life as a result of that faith, if you truly wish to win converts!<<

I most certainly can! I am assured that I rest secure in the arms of Jesus, assured of everlasting life with Him. I am unencumbered by doubts of insufficiency or inadequacy as I am in the spiritual realm already cleansed. I have Jesus as my constant companion with the Holy Spirit as by counsellor. I can go directly before the throne of God in Jesus name and need of no fallible man to assist me or stand in my way.

I joined in order to have polite discussions about mine and others' ideas as well as their faith journeys.

Someone who is searching for God could read some of these posts thinking that followers of Jesus can be very unkind to one another. We all must be an example of Christian charity, even when we disagree.

As for the rest, good for you! It is possible to proclaim your faith without deriding that of another. In our world, with all its problems, people need to know that belief and what it brings, can be a source of good.

Thank you for your answer!
