Hey everyone! I just wanted to see who was a christian on here! lol :lol2:

I am but I'm not sure if that's an appropriate thing to ask on these boards.

The Chit Chat board is for discussion of anything. Yes! I'm a Christian, and I'm not saying it to preach to anyone, but because that's what the poster asked. There's no need to get offended. :flower:

Hey, Christian here! It's okay to profess your beliefs on a public forum. We do still live in a free country. In fact, we can even talk about whether or not we think there are Christian themes in Lost if we want to. I think there might actually be something there. Not purgatory or anything, but the idea of being punished for wrong doing. Not saying I think Lost is a Christian show, but I do think there are moral principles there that could be interpreted as good vs evil, choices = consequences, crime leads to punishment, which are fundamental Christian teachings.

Indeed I am.

I am as well

Not a church-goer, but born Baptist.

Wow! That's awesome to see everyone!

Sorry I wasn't meaning to preach to anyone by this thread I was just curious.

Not a church-goer, but born Baptist.


lol. Sometimes I feel like I was "born Baptist" too. Seriously, I was in church the Sunday after I was born. And I was born on a Friday! lol I'm considering converting to Methodist, but it's such a big decision. just kidding. I'm more of the "Christianity is a relationship, not a religion," train of thought. Anyway, it's nice to meet all of you!

"In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer
for I have overcome the world."
That's loosely saying, "Don't worry, be happy."

I have seen some ugly anti-Christian tripe posted on message boards, so I don't see anything wrong with raising a hand to say you believe. My hand is raised.

I be a Christian, and was baptized Catholic.

i am.

i dont got to church though

i was baptizied when i was 9 or 10

i forget which :-[

I am.

Yea, I am.* I'm Methodist, even though I don't like holding myself to a denomination.*

I'm Catholic. :)

I'm a Christian..and I'm loving the religious nuances in the show! I think the writers a doing a great job of weaving them in so they're not offensible to anyone who isn't religious.

I'm Catholic.* :)


QUICK, HIDE! :fear2:



Just Kidding Aurora :P

I don't understand Catholicism.

QUICK, HIDE!* :fear2:* *



Just Kidding Aurora :P

Awwww, meanie! lol j/k

I don't understand Catholicism.


Me neither. But to be fair, I don't understand most denominations....but as long as you are a *fair* Christian, that's good.

I'm Catholic as well.

Christian here! ;D

Me too :). I got a little too excited about Hurley being the census taker and his episode being Numbers. I'm hoping they will delve more into Charlie's past next season. Not in a preachy way but I found it kinda interesting. I'm still trying to figure out how Aaron fits into all this. Guess I'll have to wait.

I guess I'm the only Presbyterian here. Lol.

I guess I'm the only Presbyterian here. Lol.


I am a follower of Christ...

I spend a lot of time on asking for forgiveness for all the "naughty things" I say and do in DIMPLES...!!! :lol2: ;) ;D GettinLost is my alter ego! :devil:

GL <><

Galatians 2:20

I'm a christian. Fav. verse. John 3:16

I like Romans 5:3-5.

I like Romans 5:3-5.


I like Romans 8:38-39 also... I like the part about "nothing can separate us...".

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PSALM(S)?

My favoite Psalm(s) are Ps 139 and Ps 8.

Another Christian here, started out Anglican, leaning to the Baptist side! I don't go to church, used to though. Hello out there to all believers!

One of my favorite Pslams is Ps. 62. and Ps. 139.

*waves to GL* Nice to see a fellow DIMPLES here! ;D LOL! I too have a ask for forgiveness many of a times because of things I've said on DIMPLES. My favorite psalm is Psalm 37...37:4 to be more exact. :)

I'm a catholic :)

I am a Baptist as well and have been all my life. :)

I was Baptized in the Catholic Church, so I guess technically I'm Catholic/Christian, but I don't practice the religion, nor do I believe in it.

*ducks*

I am, but don't go to church regularly because my family doesn't really belong to a specific denomination anymore. Yet, I go to a Catholic high school, which can be very interesting.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PSALM(S)?



Psalm 23:4 is one of my favorites.

I was raised Catholic, but I'm an atheist.

I got saved when I was 19. I lean toward Full gospel churches (what is sometimes referred to as
Charismatic.) Basically, I don't call myself any particular denomination - I believe the Word as I
read it & as God reveals it to me.
I'm between churches right now, but I'm trying to be the best Christian I can.
Keep the faith!

:biggrinangelA: :malelovies:

For those who used to be Christian but now don't believe that's ok. I was once for all general purposes an agnostic but am now a Christian... ;D

Im catholic too

Rock on Lonewolf! ;D I got saved when I was 9 years old.

Glad to meet you, Peaches!
The LORD bless & keep you! :smiling:

Thanks Lonewolf! ;D

Hi Everyone! Nice thread here.

I am Catholic.

Welcome to the Fuselage, Carma!

It's good to have you!

God bless. :smiling:

* *Thanks for the Good Word, lonewolf. I was saved as a young child. This thread is so cool! God bless to all who read this.
* *I like the religious possibilities in the show, too. For example, Sayid found himself torturing Sawyer in a "situation ethics" scenario, even though he'd promised himself he'd never do it again. Then in the next ep, he himself was tortured by Danielle - sowing and reaping indeed. I thought the writers also did this for Sayid to have some form of "redemption" with the viewers. This is one of the reasons I like Sayid so much - there is a little Sayid in all of us. We have all done things we regret, but life has to go on, and we do the best we can to make things right. Sorry, hope this doesn't sound preachy or anything. Just love the show so much!

You don't need to worry about sounding preachy. The way I look at it - this is our thread, & people know what it's about, so if they're offended by religion - they don't have to click on it - right!
Just keep on saying exactly what you feel, & you don't have to apologize for being "Politically incorrect".
Your's always in Christ - Lonewolf :biggrinangelA:

I am a follower of Christ...

I Think that was clever & cool how you made the fish after the GL.
I wouldn't have thought of that!

:jump1:

Favorite Psalm. Psalm 42. Please don't mention the numbers. :lol2: It's a coincidence. As the deer pants for the water....

In another thread I'm on we were talking about Charlie and hoping they would stay continue with some stuff we saw in The Moth.

Charlie....you know what I really want for Charlie? I want him to rediscover his religious roots and serve as sort of a spiritual leader on the island.....not necessarily religious leader, just a spiritual leader. He was on that path before music led him astray.....and how cool would it be for the Ethan-killing, junkie rock star to take that path? They certainly need someone in that role....and hey, if we ever got around to a J/K wedding, he'd be available to perform the ceremony.


I love your ideas about Charlie. They've set that up perfectly with his interaction with Rose earlier. What would be GREAT is if they set him up as a sort of counter to Locke. I mean, we have Locke and his "faith" in the island, and Jack and his science in a science vs. faith sort of thing. But Charlie could take a third path that would be really interesting.



LostATLbabe, you from ATL? I am too.

* *notfadeaway, yes I am - born and raised! We are quickly becoming a rare breed here in ATL, with so many transplants from other parts of the US. I absolutely love it here and hope I never move away.
* *I have missed some of the eps during the season* :( - I got hooked part way through. I started out watching the pilot, missed eps, gave up trying to follow along* :-\. Then they re-aired the pilot and some eps, and I tried to catch on again, and missed more eps,*:'( and almost gave up again. Were it not for Naveen Andrews haunting, amazing eyes as Sayid, I think I would not have tried again, but now I am hooked!! I have such a terrible crush on him - it's pretty pitiful (swoons at the thought)* :wub:. I hope they never off Sayid - never, never!! Anyway, I don't think I have seen the moth ep - I know I missed Charlie killing Ethan, Claire being kidnapped and all that. I hope to see it over the summer. What's the deal w/Charlie's religious roots? And BTW, we definitely need a minister on the island so that Sayid and I can get married!* :malelovies: (tee hee!)
* *Two of my favorite Psalms are Ps. 37 and Ps. 103 - God Bless!* :biggrinangelA:

Thought I'd bump this thread back up to the front so it doesn't drown.
Any Christians out there listening? :jump1: :biggrinangelA: :jump1:

Very cool LostATLbabe. I'm a Grady baby but right now I'm in PA. Trying to decide whether to go back home. You are going to really enjoy the reruns this summer. I'm excited. I've never seen TB, HOTRS in it's entirety so I'm excited. I cause a couple of my friends who don't watch the show to fall for Naveen Andrews. i'm gald you stayed tuned for Sayid. Not that it's very hard to do.

What's up lonewolf? I don't have anything insightful to add but wanted to stop in.

Hey!
I was starting to get lonely! Just wondering where all the other Christians had gone. :laughing:

Thanks for responding! :jump:

Cool. I think it will be cool to see if there is anything in TB tommorrow. It that's what they are showing.

Hey guys. I think it is soooo awesome that there are people openly admitting that they're a christian..or any other denomination for that matter on a threaded board. I'm a Christian and I go to a Baptist church. But yeah..this is such a great topic!!

Yall are awesome and keep the faith.

Bump***********
I'm online, if anyone wants to share!

:biggrinangelA:

I was gonna say the preschool I teach at is inside a church so I help shape young minds
:angel:

You go, LostCSIFan! Keep shaping those young minds with love and excellence - they are our future. Yeah, notfadeaway, I happen to be a Piedmont baby myself. What's going on up in PA? Don't get "lone"ly lonewolf - we're out here, probably in droves, when people realize the thread is here.* :jump:

Thanks to all!
My problem is - I'm on 2nd shift, & there's hardly any movement on the thread while I'm online.
Maybe I'll catch you all on the weekend.
God bless you all in Jesus' name! :biggrinangelA:

BUMP!
Jesus people - unite!

:biggrin:

I seriously LOVE my Job I USE to work in Secular preschools and the kids were SOO NAUGHTY and disrespectful but here well lets just say its nice to work somewhere where you ask a child to do something and they look at you and go "Okay" instead of the usual "No I DONT HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU" crap I use to get

I was thinking it would be cool if someone were to start a Christian chat group ship.
That way, we would always be able to find each other without having to hunt for this thread. I don't
know how to start one or how much time would be involved in maintaining it.
If anyone is interested, share your thoughts!

(A good name for it would be A.C.T.S. (All Christian Talk Ship!) :w00t:

Thats a good idea Wolf! I love the name too! Hello to all who have joined us here since I last posted! God Bless! :angel:

It seems like it would be a good idea. Sometimes, I have to search through 4 pages to find the Christian thread.I've counted 5 or 6 Christians who seem like they might be interested. Maybe if we keep this thread bumped up, they'll find it & respond. :biggrinangelA:

Hey another christian here and I love the idea of having a christian chat group :angel:

God bless : ;D

Hi, Aussie!

I'm glad to meet you! It's good to have so many Christians who watch this show & post on the fusalage! Hope to run into you around the board. God bless you! :biggrinangelA:

Hey Fellow believers!

This is to ask you to help spread the word to any other Christians on the board, that I've started
us a Group ship called A.C.T.S. (All Christian Talk Ship) in the "Not lost" section of Group ships.
This way, we wont have to hunt through the pages to find this thread! (If I don't hear from the mods, I'll assume I started the group correctly!)
Feel free to come on over & share!

Lostenchantment,

We'd love to have you!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for getting the ball rolling by starting this thread!
I believe the Lord spoke to you & inspired you to ask that question!
Thanks for hearing Him!
:biggrinangelA:

Nope to the OQ, Jewish born and raised.

It's interesting to note that many more believers have posted in here than non-practicing Christians, though.

I'm a Catholic.

It may seem that religious affiliation is not all that relevant in a forum like this, but I have to confess that my Catholic training in theology and philosophy colors the way I watch the show.* If you look at some of my other posts, you'll see that I'm really hung up on the idea that the show amounts to an exploration of the tension between fatalism and freedom of will.* That is, of course, a central theme of Catholic thinking.

I'm also fascinated by the show's occasional references to Catholicism: Charlie in the confessional, Hurley's mom crossing herself and telling her son that Catholics don't believe in curses, the drug-smugglers dressed as Catholic priests, and the ceramic Madonnas filled with heroin.* What a loaded image that last one is -- a vile drug tucked inside one of the most powerful symbols of the Catholic Church.* I especially like it because it encapsulates my favorite theme -- freedom of will (the greatest of all Catholic saints) and destiny or determinism (the addictive drug that overpowers the will).

I am a Christian - I am a liberal Methodist. :angel:

I was born and raised Catholic. Though I still believe very much in God.
I have very little time for organized religions.

My favorite is John 15:11-12
