Answer 1

I'm sorry that you have received so many answers that are just plain mockery of your question. :-( These things ought not to be :-(

Jesus said that if we would acknowledge that we have broken God's Laws (see the list of the 10 commandments. Here are just a few things we do to break God's Laws: we have lied, we have taken what's not rightfully ours to take, we have been so angry that God sees murder in our hearts - which Jesus says is the same as murder, we have looked at others with sexual desire - which Jesus says is the same as adultery, et cetera) - if we would acknowledge that we are selfish, self-centered sinners, and turn from our sins, then the blood that Jesus shed when He died on the cross 2,000 years ago, will go towards payment of those sins.

The Bible says that even though Jesus had never known sin, yet He actually became sin for us, so that we could become righteous before God. That is to say, He traded places with us.

If we would acknowledge this act of His, and admit that we are guilty of breaking His Laws, and ask Him to forgive us, then He can and does forgive us and give us a new heart, a clean slate, and new life in Christ.

When He does this, then God can adopt us into His Forever Family and write our names down in "The Lamb's Book of Life" and prepare us to live with Him in heaven where there will be no more sin, no more pain, no more sorrow, and where He will wipe away EVERY tear.

I pray that you'll find the inner fortitude and strength to cry out to God and allow Him to become the Lord (boss) in your life.

God bless you as you "struggle" through some of these really tough choices you're being faced with.

Answer 2

Sister, did you check my response to your other question?

There is no real conversion from agnostic to Christianity. To become a Christian, you simply believe that Jesus is the Lord. "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

But once you have accepted Jesus as you Lord, you need to begin the process of growing in faith. This means you need both personal and community involvement.

Personally, you need to start reading the Bible and praying. Community involvement means finding a church to attend. At the church you become involved in worship and a Bible Study. These activities will help you know more about God and draw closer to God. You will also find guidance and support in the Christian fellowship.

God bless you

Addendum: Joseph H - In her last question, she was accused of wanting to convert to get better grades. It was pretty unfair. So she is asking that not happen again.

Answer 3

If you want to be a Christian, you must believe that God exists, you need to acknowledge that you are a sinner. You need to accept God's redemption or salvation through His Son Jesus. He forgives and forgets your sins and gives you a new heart. Your heart, (your spirit) is enlivened and you have a desire to follow God. This does not mean that you no longer sin or want to sin, it just means that you have a deep desire to follow God. It means that since you know that God exists and that he is Holy, and that rewards those who are obedient to him, you must resist temptation when it comes. It means that you will lean on Him to give you the strength to resist temptation. But if you God as you get closer to Him (just like in a relationship with a friend) you will experience fulfillment in your life. You will feel that your purpose is being fulfilled. It's truly the best decision to make! All you know to do is believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, and that God the Father raise him up in the third day, you will be save. It's all about believing!

Answer 4

Why do you want to go to a collage and become an atheist?

(an artistic composition made by fixing bits of paper, cloth, string, etc. to a surface)

Seriously, if you want to become an atheist, I am sure there is a website that can guide you through the steps.

Good luck.

Answer 5

It just depends whether you are convicted or not. Read this and be honest with yourself.

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Heb. 9:27

We are judged by the Ten Commandments.

Ever told a lie?
Ever hated anyone? See 1 John 3:15
Ever lusted after someone? See. Matt. 5:27-28
Ever blasphemed?

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10

Lawbreakers go to hell.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 6:9-10

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Gal. 5:19-21

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Rev. 21:8

This is clear and humbling. However God made a way so we wouldn't have to go to hell. Jesus (God in flesh) came to earth, lived a sinless life, and was crucified on our behalf. He rose three days later defeating death and in turn giving us an escape route from hell. But Jesus did command us to repent. That means to turn from sin to God. The perfect example of repentance is found in Psalm 51.

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15

I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

You see when you repent God gives you a new heart and new desires and they are desires to serve Him. As a result you are biblically born again! That my friend is good news!

Answer 6

Huh?
Pretty much as soon as you believe in Christianity you aren't agnostic any more.

You want to be christian? Study the bible, find a church, get baptized, and do other churchy/bible stuff.

Answer 8

huh? how do you become christian is what your asking?

a good start is picking up the bible and learning what it means to be a christian.

perhaps going to church, but in reality by going to church your only following someone elses definition of what christianity is.

best thing to do is learn for yourself. if you believe christianity is even remotely true, then you should also believe you have the ability to become christian without the help of another human. that god or the holy spirit will guide you.

otherwise your just putting ur faith into man.

Answer 9

Why wait until you go to college? There isn't a set procedure. You hear the truth about Jesus, how He sacrificed Himself on the cross to save you from your sins, and you believe it. You confess the wrongs you have committed (not necessarily to another person, but in prayer), say that you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and ask Him to be your Savior. That's all.

To learn more about Him, you read the Bible. Attend church services and grow.

Answer 10

Well, you first must believe and that requires self-reflection and effort to learn the rituals of the religion along with the history and philosophy behind it.
