Before all this happened I was an atheist and hated the church and would make fun of christians. Not anymore, the more they hate on Christianity the more I love it
I went through a period in my life where I struggled with my Christian world view because in some ways it amounts to the greatest conspiracy theory ever. A cosmic spiritual battle in an unseen world between God and Satan over our souls. I leaned in and accepted this as true well before people accepting conspiracy theories became as popular as they are now. The Bible says that the antichrist will be outed in the last days. My new theory is that this is how he will be outed. Accepting conspiracy theories will become more and more mainstream. Until one day the argument among people will not be over conspiracy theories but which one. This will simmer for a while until even the most insane conspiracy theory gains real traction:
There is a spiritual world, angels and demons do exist, and there is one who walks among us possessed by Satan doing his bidding.
While this conspiracy theory is the most crazy of them all it is serendipitously the best. (SPOILER ALERT) The end is known. God is good. He is love itself. He desires to give us immeasurable riches. And he will. He will give us the universe and all that is in it. The Bible says that we will inherit his power. We are simply in a transition period where he is fixing our mess. He is patient. The end is well worth the pain we are currently experiencing. And God is powerful enough to heal all wounds.
Doing good deeds your whole life will NOT pay for your sins. Doing religious rituals your whole life will NOT pay for your sins. You cannot buy your eternal life with the temporary riches of the world. God has set up ONE way and only ONE way for you to receive your eternal life...
The God of all creation became a man, His name is Jesus. He lived a perfect sinless life. He then willingly laid down His life for all of mankind, to pay the penalty for ALL sin and reconcile God's fallen children back to Him. Believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and receive your FREE gift of eternal life right now. REALIZE you are a sinner. ASK Jesus Christ to forgive you. BELIEVE Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and died on the cross for your sins and that God raised Him from the dead. And PROCLAIM this to others. It only takes but a moment...to receive your eternal life and become Born Again!
Very true. Jesus Christ is the only way. I have noticed a trend with prophets in the scriptures. Jesus tends to like effort. So yes, we are only saved by grace but if we don't bring him into our hearts then our actions will show our true nature.
I don't know about all those words and terms you use.
But I know there is a person named Jesus who lives. Anybody who calls on his name - willing to listen - will hear his voice and experience how he saves your life over and over. Decide for yourself who he is when you meet him. In life or death, you will.
Read the Bible. Pray. Seek him and you'll know for yourself what Jesus is all about.
Hey, I was just listening to some Pagan Viking music, because the band is really good. However, the comments were really fucked up. They were talking about how Christianity is evil and how we need to destroy is and replace it with Paganism. It was getting a lot of support. I never thought that there would be people that would truly feel that way. Scary shit.
I would truly rather have them be atheist then thinking that just because you heard a good song that suddenly sacrificing animals and humans to tree sprites is cool. People are truly easily swayed.
Sorry, just saw your post on Jesus and wanted to vent.

He is the guy who stands there. Honestly, I don't know why you got downvoted out.

The only way we can save the constitution is to regain righteousness.

Yeah. I just watched a video about that on YouTube.

Dude I just finished watching the same film. It was really good.
The elves went too far.
It's essential.
it's more than ok. it's necessary.
Jesus looks like the guy who stands at the entrance of my local Walmart. I hope he doesn't send me to hell for not giving him a dollar.
No he doesn't.
We send ourselves to hell by ignoring the intellectual and spiritual superiority of his teachings and our own inability to invent solutions.
We all need to be taught or we all become savages.
