Obviously, if you have always been a Christian, then this question doesn't apply to you.

Used to think it was blind faith.
The Bible claims to be written by God. Over 3000 times it says “Thus saith the Lord”. (Men claiming to be speaking for god wrote all other religious texts.) No one has identified a single historical mistake in the Bible. Over 25,000 archaeological finds relating to the Bible - people, places & events all support it.
Twenty-five percent of the Bible is fulfilled prophecies. (You wont find these in other religious text.) Example: The Lord will be born in Bethlehem, sold for 30 pieces of silver, and crucified. The Old Testament was finished 400 years before the New Testament. Crucifixion was first practiced about 200 B.C., yet it was predicted in detail by King David, who was born more than a 1,000 years before Jesus.
There were seventeen secular historians who wrote about the death of Jesus by crucifixion. External historical records attest to the truth of the Bible.
Also the message of Jesus has never changed. Today we have over 24,000 ancient copies of portions of the New Testament. The next closest in all of antiquity is Homer’s Iliad, of which we have 643 ancient copies.

I dont remember.
John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with the blood JESUS shed on the cross.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

Honestly, I didn't think about them at all. The ones I was around well, I just thought of them like I did everyone else that I was around.

Biblical conversion is not to Christianity per say,
since false Christs shall arise make false X-ians
But from law of law/grace to grace of law/grace,
then "go on unto perfection", which is "all grace".
The God of all grace make you perfect...stablished.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

I thought they seem so happy most of the time. It took a lot to get them down. I thought, I want some of that.

I just thought they were religious people. I really had no opinion of them good or bad. My opinion was based pretty much how they treated me as individuals.

Deke, I thought they were religious people.... I wanted nothing to do with that AT ALL..... Then I received Christ & realized that Jesus isn't a bit religious nor does He agree with anything religious...Thanks for asking!
