Amazing! Thank you for sharing something so personal. I hope God will strengthen you and bless you immensely for this step...He alone is worthy! :) his love astounds me!
Good for you man!!! We have to crucify our flesh, take up our cross and follow him. It is incredibly to do, but what is impossible with man is possible with God. The Holy Spirit / Comforter helps. Anyone who (like below) that calls us odd or whatever is an example of what the Bible tells us... The ways of the spiritual man is foolish to the natural man. Until you do it, until the light bulb goes off in our head, it is really hard to understand.
i'm on pornography, and not happy about it. i've been on it for years man, since before i was a teenager. i'm now 18. it hasn't destroyed me yet, cause i have strong morals. however i am a hipocryt. I've been through the catholic systems and thought about conversion for a long time, but now it all makes sense to me. i'm getting baptised as soon as possible to show God i've made a commitment to him.
adultery,homosexuality,fornication,drug addiction,alcohol addiction,pornography and the like are some of the sins that we face today.These could somehow lead to the fading of our faith in God in the last days!!!People of the earth!!!Repent and sin no more!!!Accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Saviour!!!
24 I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question? 25 The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.
amen brother.i to have hAd a turn around in my life an i to have given my life to jesus.please tell me that your living by the laws of god an his comandments?a pray you are,an plese tell me your keeping the 4th?
Your story is sad but it in no way supports that there is a god. You are stronger than that. You recognized that your life was a mess, that's why you cried. No gods were involved at all. THEN in your weak moment you were captured by snake oil sellers and have been a slave ever since.
Well what ever happened ive got a better life, who ever Jesus was i follow his example.
Im pretty shocked how it all transpired i just knew that the only way out was to be around other people who followed his example.
I love hebrews, if you get a chance to read it at least give it a try, no way a man alone wrote that. I wonder how anyone would explain away the Bible codes, only a computer could arrange a book like that
I experienced de facto, palpable miracles that falsified all my prior atheism. You are whistling in the dark. As for your acronym, it only took me seconds to do it, so please don't accuse me of spending hours to come up with it which is the wont of most atheists....
A Christian Rebirth Only Negated Your Mind (Acronym77): I would not deny your experience but as a skeptical scientist I would ask what are the possible simple explanations for them. If you are willing to say what they are, I'd be interested to examine them. I've had such experiences and they only point to my mind or to surprising coincidences but this is not enough to begin to thing there is a god because we select coincidences and forget everything else.
You are not a "skeptical science". You swallow the idea that nothing can produce something by dint of "Time", which you cannot observe empirically, which would require "Millions" of years of watching "Change". You swallow the idea that matter has magical properties to cause insentience to turn into sentient being by "physiological" processes of an impersonal sort. You've never trained your skepticism on atheism's philisophical materialistic assumptions....
Rather than attack a person based on what your religious master taught you, why don't you have a conversation to find out what they actually think? Maybe you would learn something.
@farvision The Bible says it is impossible to please God without faith. "Blessed are those who haven't seen and still believe". You say there is no god. Unbelief is sin. You are separated from God, you have no faith, no belief, you do not know God, and you also mock and ridicule His followers by calling us snake oil sellers. This man converted to the Lord and has a beautiful story of love, peace, faith and hope. Jesus can do the same for you, but you must believe and repent
@ConsumingFire77 Ok, please turn off your tape recorder. I've heard all those lies and traps before. Please think for yourself instead of spewing things made up by other people at me. How do you know that the bible contains any truth at all?
@farvision The Holy Bible...66 books, 40 authors, over a period of 1,500 yrs, from 3 continents in 3 languages, and each book is in harmony with the other! That in itself is a miracle. Its a book of FULFILLED prophecy, such as the Messiah coming to earth while the Temple was still built, (got destroyed in AD70). Archeological evidence, non-Biblical writers wrote about Jesus being alive with followers, 11 of 12 disciples died instead of denying Jesus and His resurrection. Lots of evidence!!
@ConsumingFire77 I"m sorry, but that's all just a story. You are using the story to justify the story itself. Self consistency is not "evidence" for the reality of a story. Think about Lord of the Rings - it's self consistent and has multiple languages, therefore it is the true picture of the world? No. You have to look outside the bible to check if what it says matches the universe, and it fails miserably under that test. That test is how we built modern science and, indeed, youtube.
Dylan i love you like a big brother! seriously! you a legend! what a great testimony so encouraging, wish i had the awesome heart you got for God and others such an encouragement to us all, im glad God chose you to be part of mine and pauls life to, your a good friend to us both!

Ok, you've reached a lower rung on the ladder.
Don't get stuck there by all the lies the religious people tell you. For example, the bible codes are silly junk. google for
shanedk bible code and watch Shane's remastered video.
