Thank you for sharing this.
It is good to know.
I too believe the Bible and in Jesus Christ and His soon return.
I will keep on being a reader of yours.
Whoever you lose over this… you never really had!
Yes, the Bible is 100% truth and how wonderful is that. WE have so many promises that provide a believer peace and constant joy! Amen.
I applaud you for willingness to identify yourself as a Christian. I am too, I love God, and I am grateful for all He is… and has done… and is doing. You are so talented! Your writing is wonderful and meaningful, and your recipes are outstanding! I am amending them for my gluten-free husband and son, and they gobble it all up! Thank you for your honesty, God bless you and your family!
I know what you mean about the “I may lose friends over this,” especially in today’s world. It seems acceptable to say that we are almost anything – except a Christian. It’s not easy to say the unpopular thing, but it’s wonderful when we do it – isn’t it? I am also a believer and seeing your post warmed my heart. Your sister in Christ, Jodi
This is the 1st time I’ve been on your sight and what a thrill to see this statement right away!
Yes, I too am a believer and I love the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep up the good work>
Thank you for leaving this post up… just this morning, while in prayer, I thought – if I believed everything about Him, I need to live these truths and stop the madness of worrying so much.

I believe in Jesus as my personal Savior and Redeemer but I am hard-pressed to believe everything in the Bible is “100%” true, sorry, for all the reasons I believe you started the post with “I May Lose Friends…”
Maybe you should just genuinely be honest and state what your actual political beliefs are
so that I can judge for myself what your Bible-based beliefs are.
My belief in Jesus has nothing to do with my political belief, but my political belief has everything to do with my belief in Jesus. I dont think you should come to my blog and request that I “be genuinely honest” because that implies that I am *not* being honest.
And while I can appreciate that you feel you need to judge me for me to have credibility, my worth is not based on your opinion of my faith.
I cant help but question that if you believed that Jesus was your personal Savior and Redeemer, that you would want to uplift and encourage other believers, not call them liars and make them “prove” their faith to you.
And for the record… the reason I started with “I am lose friends for this” is because I KNEW I would. And I did. But that is reflection of their belief system, not mine.
Amen Sister!
People need to know that the Bible is 100% true. It is too easy for people to say there are errors since they haven’t done the research to see that there is not!
Thanks for standing up for the Truth and not being afraid to take a stand for our awesome God.
Amanda, do you mind if I paste this picture to my blog? I will of course link back to you and credit you for the picture…but thought I’d ask first! Email me and let me know! You rock!!
You just gained a blog follower! I am also mommy, sometimes-baker, hardly an author, but wholly submitted to the lordship of Jesus! Hello and blessings from Singapore, Amanda!
Hi Amanda, love to see this blog! I’m a mother of 4 too! 3 boys and 1 girl ! A Christian and a baker as well! migrate from Indonesia to NZ! Its a blessing for me to find your blog!
It Was The Rainbow That Got Me!
I Just Happened Upon Your Blog Tonight!
You Have A New Friend!
Bless Your Heart Sweetie!
You Are Precious!
You Know God Showed Me A Great Deal About Rainbows One Night In A Dream!
Bottom Line – God Is Amazing!
He Is The Alpha And The Omega!
Beginning And End!
He is The Great “I Am.”
Thank You For Being Brave Enough To Post!
No Need To Hide That Light Under A Bushel!
After All – It Takes A Great Deal Of Light To Make That Rainbow!
Blessings!
Well, that caught my eye tonight! During the course of my life I have lost
friends for many reasons. Usually it’s due to my foolishness and immaturity.
But to lose friends over how they perceive and interpret the most wonderful and
Holy God of the Universe, well, I just don’t think God is done with the lesson for them
yet. Sometimes God just wants them in an “independent study group” for a while
while he refines the curriculum. I keep the prayer fires burning and anxiously
await the class reunion up ahead! He is FAITHFUL!
I’ve only been here a couple of times, but shall visit more regularly. I admire your passionate convictions.
Amin JESU! That’s how we say Amen Jesus in Nigeria.
There’s no life or lasting answers outside Jesus. The more of the bible i read the more i realise that he is the answer to everything.The BREAD of life. There’s no satisfaction outside him.selah!
Yes, yes, and yes.
Amen!
Amen! You’re not losing this friend

Or make some.
Thank you for not being afraid to post your faith! Loved your blog before this post. Now I have more than love of baking in common.
God bless!
You are a baker after my own heart. Loose a few friends but gain the love and respect of many.
Grace and peace.
I love this! Amen sister!
Thanks! Nice to “meet” you Alice!!
May God bless you and keep you.
You just got a new friend!! God Bless you and your family.
hmmmm…would they REALLY be friends if you lost them over these beautiful words of faith??

Can we be friends???

I belive in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! We need more that are willing to say this and live it daily.
Let us be servants even when it is “inconvenient” to us!
Amen. You just gained a new reader !
Keep speaking the truth.
Bless you!
Hopefully you never lost them, hopefully they saw the truth and will come to know like we already do…
Pretty cool.
I like the way you think!

good for you Amanda! I am so happy to see someone unafraid to stand up for their Faith!!! God Bless you!
Amen Sister!

Thanks for standing up for the Truth and not being afraid to take a stand for our awesome God.
P.S. When “Christians” say that the Bible isn’t 100% true how do they know which parts are true and which parts are???? Just a thought
I like that thought.
Great input Steffany!
I agree Steffany…..
Praise God!
