[quote:Ergo 790565:MV84ODM0NDVfMTM4ODIxMDdfRDUzQ0NGNg==] [quote:astratt7] Why is lucifer the morning star? Why does good, god, follow authority instead of purpose? As I recall Jesus is the morning star. Actually, god follows the will of men in most respects, but uses authority when they do evil. the bible is actually quite unrestrictive (after christ) of most human behaviors. the only forbidden things after christ came are fornication and eating meat sacrificed to idols. thats it, believe it or not. We are not under the Old Testament laws now. Most people have a faulty idea that the bible forbids fun etc. it is the most unrestrictive 'religion' out there. Blakey, You must be joking right? Christianity is the NARROW road, and few be that find it. Jesus said if you even look at a woman lust in your heart, you have commited audultery. Jesus made it very clear that He did not come to destroy the law, but to fufill it. 1 Corinthians 6: 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind Please preach the Word. [/quote] The bible also tells us that if we repent, and are faithful to ask the Lord to forgive us of our sins, he will be faithful and just to forgive those sins. We as people have over complicated Christianity (all religion really). Look on it as a child would. God is our father, and he loves us as your parents love you. If you screw up, your earthly parents forgive you and love you all the same, its the same with the Lord our God, he is just a better parent than any of us could be. Our sins are the reason that Jesus was sent to us. Through Jesus we may gain entry into heaven. We don't have to be perfect, we just have to have faith. I have total, unshakable faith that Jesus is my lord and savior. I have felt the presence of God, and know what it's like to turn from the path. I know the awesomeness of asking for forgiveness, and following feeling the Holy Spirit come over me. I know what it's like to bind a demon and cast it from my presence. It's a truly awesome experience when you feel them leave, but it takes total faith in God and Jesus. [/quote]
Original Message
I became a Christian at age 17 or 18, that was 30 years ago. It is real, and it changed my life, kept me out of trouble more times than I can count.
I have had angelic interventions that protected me - believe it or not
but i dont really want to go into that too much
I know the bible very well - not by like verse memory but by understanding what it means.
My prayers get answered usually immediately -
Feel free to ask me any reasonable question about the bible or what christianity is
Bible bashers might find another thread to get into, I wont respond to those. There are plenty of those threads
