Answer 2

I'm not christian, but when I started reading the new testament, it changed my life. I wasn't raised with religion. My family says they are christian however. We never went to church though. I used to think churches were only open on Christmas and Easter. In october 2001 I started reading the new testament, as I was reading Jesus' words, I changed. I realized this was the right way to live. Peace, love, understanding. I felt so much love for everyone. I went to the only person in the world I had previously hated, I hated this girl so much. I went to her work, told her how sorry I was for things. And told her if she ever needed anything I would always be there for her. I felt so much love for her. The world was beautiful.I think this feeling is heaven.Not a place, but this feeling.Nothing could've been better.And I knew that everyone would one day feel this.Yes I have had some unexplainable things happen since that time, I would call one of the things that happened a miracle.

Answer 3

I was raised in a Buddhism family; everyone believes in Buddha. I was invited to go to church one day; and I was baptized a month later. My parents were furious and wouldn't let me go anywhere without them. When I came here, I was sort of lost - not knowing what to believe - I was kind of in between Buddhism and Christianity. I became a true believer when I went through terrible time - divorce - no job - no place to call home - lost my children to my ex. A friend asked me to come to church and I started on my spirituality practice again; going to church twice a week and listening to the sermons. God had blessed me with a good job, and a home. I love traveling; so during 2005-2006, I went to the Bahamas 3 times, North Carolina, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston and Dallas, Texas, Maui, New York City (several times). Do you want to know what I've been driving in the past year alone? A Mercedes, Jaguar, Mini, and my current car is BMW. He blesses me so much.

Answer 4

I was raised in a split-faith home, Methodist and Catholic.

I was sorta Catholic, but mostly when I hit my teens I spent my collection money at Baskin-Robbins.

In college I was an Anthropology major and got into Theology through the study of ancient religions and their relationship to the civilizations which believed in them.

Eventually I Piled it Higher and deeper enough for Anthropology but continued to learn and got my degrees in Comparative and Dogmatic Theology as well.

There was never a blinding flash of light, or a vivid vision. No angel came down from on high and waved a sword in my face. I just became more and more aware of God's presence in my life. For a language with more than 900,000 words, English is hopelessly inadequate to explain the feeling. But He is with me. This I know with more certitude than I know that the sun will rise in the east.

Answer 5

I was born and raised in a Christian home and at the age of 15 I accepted the Lord as my own and personal Saviour. I have experienced Him in ways that I don't have enough space to write. I did not grow up believing in to much of the miraculous and healing work of God, but as I began having that personal relationship with Him on a day to day basis, I've experienced His supernatural powers in abundance. Most of all they are all free....

Answer 6
