Question

Is there like a hunger for "Spirituality" in Russia right now? I'm what you'd call a Pentecostal Christian, or Evangelical. And I've wanted to visit Russia, to see it's spiritual status. And possibly make a difference.

Anyone who knows...please answer.

Thumbs down

I think the major concern of the Russians is hunger for food, not for spirituality.

>Pentecostal Christian, or Evangelical.
What the hell is that.

>And I've wanted to visit Russia, to see it's spiritual status.
Do you really think they want that? May I remind you that religion and spirituality in Russia is much older than yours.

>And possibly make a difference.
You are very funny, how old are you?

Greetings Curious American,

You will find that do to the high level of EDUCATION in RUSSIA and on this BOARD, your type of DEPENDENCE fails to attract interest.

You are welcome to try. There is a chance that your SUPPERSTITIONS will be severely tested. After they have been on this board, several people with your type of AFFLICTION, have gone on to full time residency
in INSANE ASYLUMS or switched to other forms of DEPENDENCY like DRUGGS or ALCOHOL.

For starters why don't you tell the board what you folks believe about going to HEAVEN, who gets to go to HEAVEN, etc, etc. Jews, Muslims, Hindis, Buddhist and others, get ready to be INSULTED.

Good Luck To You.

Cool

rikbe:

Hi,

When I say "Pentecostal," or "Evangelical," I am refering to the Book of Acts in the Bible. Some of The Church do not believe these acts are possible today. But, I believe they are, and I practice using the gifts of the Holy Spirit as mentioned in the Book of Acts.

I do not know if they want me, but I'd still like to visit. As for age, time is irrelevant when one is talking in terms of eternity.

I am 20. I dream big, and do my best to make it happen. That's what freedom is all about. I just happen to be a bigger dreamer than some.

Thankyou!

Hi,

I appreciate the warning; however, I've been tested many times, and I'm sure in what I believe.
As for the "heaven" discussion...I already know what the reaction will be, so why enter into a fruitless discussion.

Thankyou!

Greetings Curious American,

My heart goes out to you. You are not a DREAMER. You are a disconnected person who is using MYTHOLOGY to deal with the TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS that life offers. This affects your relationship with reality and real people. You are cheating yourself and those around you. Basically, you are living in a MAKE BELIEVE WORLD.

The HEAVEN thing was intended to show the board that you actually consider your faith SUPERIOR to other faiths. The next thing is RELIGIOUS HATE, RELIGIOUS MURDER, RELIGIOUS WAR. The world will never know PEACE as long as we tolerate
RELIGIOUS DOGMAS.

Good luck to you.

Bill
