iI believe that Jesus is God who was born in a virgin womb; was crucified on Calvary for all of ;my sins; died; placed in a tomb; and resurrected the third day. presented his pure blood in Heaven's tabernacle, and is coming again for all who have received Him as their Lord and Savior. I was hopless, hated the gospel message, and empty inside. It was durying an invitation in 1972 that I knew that my need was greater than my stubborness. I went forward, acknowledge to God that I was a sinner and needed Him. I received Him into my heart that morning. That was a decision that I never have regretted. Though having failed many times in my christian life, He has always forgiven me. Being severely disabled by an accident, God has brought me through many a rough trial though it took awhile. My pelvis is crushed so that no bed pan or comode is of any use to me. To go to the bathroom, I must be put to bed and depends pads placed correctly. My neck is fused and my hip is permanently dislocated. My physical needs are complicated. To a wheelchair will I ever be confined. His grace through my dark clouds has vary often shined. Severe arthritis in in my whole left leg and seems in my lower back. He has given me the needs that I had at times did lack. Besides working on many construction jobs, I had preached in jail. Only later on after my accident that opportunity did frail. That was a ministry so dear to my heart. It makes me sad that from it that I had to depart.

Jesus is definitely my Savior. on the different hand, i don't believe that Christ will in the destiny come, i believe that his go back is forthcoming. truly, i believe all Christians ought to brace themselves for the coming near go back of Christ. those are the circumstances that the Bible speaks of. circumstances even as adult men will reject the reality and also you who's a believer ought to carry on to the top, save you faith and guard it, it really is the in ordinary words way you'd be kept. So, do not difficulty with those who've made their minds up now to not believe, merely proceed doing what's sweet till Christ is the following which should be happening any second now. Rev. 22:11-13 enable the only which does incorrect proceed to do incorrect; enable the vile human being stay vile; enable the only which does excellent proceed to do excellent; and enable the holy human being stay holy. Behold, i'm coming right away, and My advantages is with Me, to render to each and every guy in accordance to what he has executed. i'm the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the astounding, the start and the top.”

I did the opposite kind of 180 degree turn. My father was a Christian minister who raised me with the Bible and his sermons. I was a believing Christian in whose upbringing there was never any real challenge to the Christian beliefs or values.
But about when I turned 15 years old, I began to study science, and I when I saw how well science worked and compared it with the haphazard (at best) efficacy of prayer, I began to prefer the scientific method to dogmatic religious faith.
I have been an atheist for most of my past 30 years.
Now, though, I'm beginning to have religious ideas again, but they aren't Christian ones. Physics, which first led me to atheism, has much later been leading me toward a different conception of godhood. The basis of my present thinking is that evolution produces gods, in the end; or, at least, that is what it appears to be aiming for in our universe.
Look at the progression of ways in which matter and energy have arranged themselves since the beginning of time. Notice the rising hierarchy of complex systems? First, there was only energy. Then some of that energy changed state and became space, while a probably equal among of energy changed to fermion particles by the method of pair production. As the result of this change, the energy of the big bang had a way to disperse into higher probability (higher entropy) distributions.
The first fermion particles were quarks and leptons. The quarks began to assemble themselves by pairs into mesons and by triplets into hadrons. By good fortune, our quarks were able to make useful hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. Some of the protons and neutrons, in turn, encountered each other and the results were deuterium and helium.
Energy => space & quarks & leptons...
(Electrons are leptons.)
Quarks => mesons & hadrons...
(Protons and neutrons are hadrons.)
Protons & neutrons => hydrogen & deuterium & helium.
Gravity brought hydrogen, deuterium and helium together in large quantities to form the earliest stars. In the inner parts of these stars, lighter elements were synthesized into heavier elements by nuclear reactions.
Hydrogen => Helium => carbon & nitrogen & oxygen.
When these massive stars exploded as supernovae later, they scattered carbon, nitrogen and oxygen into space. These heavier atoms were later gathered up by gravity again, along with additional hydrogen, to form new stars and their planets.
Carbon & nitrogen & oxygen & etc. => Life.
Life & competition & mutations & time => complex organisms.
Complex organisms & competition & mutations & time => intelligence.
Intelligence & competition & time => philosophy.
Note that none of this process involves a "personal" god. All that's needed is the metaproperty, which our universe has, of building with matter in such a way that new properties emerge from the statistics of the association of previously existing properties. Does this indicate the Hand of God. No. It indicates the weak anthropic principle.
Universe probably form as quantum fluctuations of the zero point energy which are dense enough to create an event horizon around themselves and, thus, fall into isolated regions of spacetime. Once inside their private spacetime, new rules begin to work.
Some universe might have bad rules that don't really lead to anything constructive. Life never evolves in bad universes, so there's never anybody in them to make criticisms. But in a few universes, the new rules permit life to arise as a yet further extension of the metaproperty of creating emergent properties.
Life & competition & intelligence & mutations & much time => gods.
I don't see any metaphysical reason for anybody to believe in a personal God (a god with whom a personal "speaking" relationship is possible). In fact, I will declare that there is no such reason. People who believe in such divinities are motivated by cultural urges, the desire to continue with the familiar whatever the expense to the truth.
I sang in Church a few years ago, a duet with my mother of "Just As I Am." I sang the melody, and she sang the alto 2nd part for harmony. I've a good singing voice, and so does she, and the organ player for once was doing a competent job. You could tell by looking at the church audience that we'd done an impressive job with the music. But does that mean that I'm Christian? No. It only means that I was making my mother happy.
The religious ideas that I have now come from an extrapolation of the history of the natural organization of matter, as a speculation for the distant future. I think that gods may be where life is going, and that the goal of godhood might possibly be reached if life does not make too many mistakes on the way there. One of the mistakes, I think, is incorrect religion.
Another kind of mistake, I think, involves a shortsightedness in the creation of moral systems - seeing only the immediate results of a moral idea (like feeding the hungry), not the longterm results, of failing to see where a moral idea really leads (such as an increase in the numbers of hungry people that does not stop until the charity does, triggering a huge die-off).

No, I do not. I don't think he is my Savior, and I don't think he was the son of a god. I have serious doubts as to if he even existed. Where is the evidence?

He is my savior.
God be with you in your walk with Him.
Remember to stay focused on Him, for Satan will try to turn your attention away from your calling by many different kinds of attacks and tricks.
