6.My grandmother and then just me and God

8. He shows Himself to me everyday thru various people and places

Answer 2

1. How long have you had your faith.
Over 20 years.

2. How is it going? If the religion working out? Are you skeptical?
I can actually say that I am committed to it. More and more each day.

3. Where did you become a Christian?
In my bedroom at the time. Without another person around.

4. How did you become a Christian?
I can tell you that I was led by God to become one for many years before I finally did commit to it.

5. Why did you become a Christian?
I had a choice, give God a chance, or commit suicide.

6. Who helped you?
My barber.

7. Have you ever tried to put yourself in the shoes of a different religion and look at yours, through a different perspective?
I compare everything to 'my religion.' But what really stands out is that I have a relationship with God. It's not about crosses on necklaces, or observing days, but it is about my relationship with God.

8. What leads you to believe Christ exists other then the bible?
Literally, God does. Jesus promised the Spirit of God to come to us, and He delivered big time!

I would like to add that I would rather be put to death than to deny my Lord. There is too much that I have experienced to have that taken from me.

Answer 3

1.Sixteen years
2. I love it. I am learning something every day. No. I sometimes don't understand certain things, but I trust those who are teaching me.
3& 4. For me becoming a Christian was a gradual process through a study of the Bible. I got baptized in Greensboro N.C.
5. I wanted to become a servant of God and follow him and Jesus the rest of my life, and I wanted true peace and happiness.
6. Two women studied with me.
7. Before and during my study, I looked into other religions. Since my baptism, I have tried to understand others viewpoints. When you do this, it helps to know how to talk to them about God.
8.I have done as Romans 1:20. I've looked at the wonderful things God, by means of Jesus, made and it gives me clear evidence that they both exist.

Answer 4

1. Since my youth.
2. Great. Yes, Never!
3. At my parents home.
4. Told who Jesus Christ was and believed the truth and illuminated by the Holy Spirit.

7. No. But I feel sorry for non-believers.
8. The witness of the Holy Spirit confirms to one that they
are children of God.
Raised Catholic, now Bible believing Christian.

Answer 5

1. I have been a Christian for going on 9 years now.
2. I am growing stronger and stronger in my faith in the Lord God.
3. At a women's retreat is where I finally excepted the Lord.
4. The same way anyone else who is a Christian did it, by excepting the Lord Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
5. I have been through or done other things to find meaning in my life, and nothing has given me the peace and blessings I have now in my life. This isn't to say my life is easy as it isn't just that I find my life easier to deal with.
6. No one helped me, as it is a personal decision.
7. Been there done that, from being athesist, to wiccan beliefs, to new age beliefs, and nothing compares. Nor will I go back to that ever again.
8. there is a ton of historical evidence that proves that Christ walked on this earth

2.Im always a tad skeptical, it makes me learn more :)

6. Not people so much as circumstances
7.Yes, I was many different religions before I became a Christian.

Answer 7

No, these are questions almost every seeker has. At least you are honest enough to put them honestly and not hide them in insults.

1: 20 years.
2: Great, yes, no.
3: In Bed.
4: Christ showed up in my bedroom, woke me up and told me if I did not get my act together I was going to be in a lot of trouble.
5: When you meet Christ it is kind of hard not to believe.
6: Christ.
7: Sure, Hindu, Buddhism, Atheism, you would not believe everything I tried.
8: I met him.

The thing that impressed me the most was some of the things Christ taught me that Christianity does not.

For example Christ told the Apostles to sell their clothes and buy a sword. Peter carried a sword. You can find this in the Bible.

Love other as you love yourself is a commandment with two sides. treating others better than you treat yourself is just as evil as treating others worse than you treat yourself.

Christ is tough. If you read how he went after the religious leaders of the time, making a weapon and attacking people in the Temple, you know Christ is tough as nails.

Christ is Gentle when you don't act like a hose head. Christ is tough if you pretend you know something you don't, like the religious leaders of Gospel times.

All this is in the Bible, but, it is not a popular way of looking at things. There are a lot of people who claim to talk for Christ. I know Christ can talk for himself.

My suggestion is, read your Bible. Pray. Empty your mind of all thought and let God talk to you.

How people can claim to pray and not give God time to reply I have no idea.
