Answer 1

Hey, I was a really bad person before turning to Christ, I dont really want to go into what I was like but your asking a good quesiton.

Answer 2

I wasn't evil when I was Christian, nor when I was Wiccan, and am especially not now that I'm Taoist Atheist.
Sure. I have evil thoughts. I sometimes have thoughts of massacring people with ninja swords. Strange little butterfly thoughts, those are. I hardly ever do anything that can be construed as a sin, in the Christian sense, apart from failure to worship and lying. I lie a lot. I like lying. It's fun to make up stories to entertain your friends and family members. And lying is so much more peaceful than telling the truth sometimes.
So yeah. Never evil.

Answer 4

I always hope I am improving on myself, but no I wasn't drastically different, of course I was raised a Christian, so not much difference between when I was trained as one, and when I actually became one.

I do have a friend who could quite honestly be defined as evil, or near it. He was abusive, addicted to, well whatever was availible, he was being sent up the river for good, when the judge let him off on a technicality. He had already made the internal decision to try to serve Jehovah with whatever time he had left, which now is quite allot.

Answer 5

I was born and raised Catholic,I am now non denominational Christian,thus I always believed and no I can not say I was ever evil,not perfect or great but not evil.There is still a change
I have had many miracles as a adult so I do Thank The Lord very often.

Answer 6

When I was a christian I was very much as all religious people are: narrow minded, ruled by religions dogmas and churchianity. Now when I am liberated from ALL religions and directed ONLY by my God Within I have aboundance of love and understanding of ALL people lost in their dogma. ALL religions are leading to the Source, are equal and needed in the same way as ALL facets of a cut and polished diamond make the Jewell. Can you imagine diamond cul and polished flat in ONE facet or surface? It would loose it sparkle and beauty... With religions are the same - ALL are needed for finishing a most beautiful reachly sparkling diamond of Unity in Diversity!

Answer 7

I was an evil person when I was religious, but that had more to do with my upbringing. Then when I wasn't religious I was nicer. Now that I'm an agnostic I don't care one way or the other.

Answer 8

Mark 10:18 (New King James version) So Jesus pronounced to him, “Why do you call Me stable? no person is powerful yet One, this is, God. Being a Christian is a option to maintain on with Jesus thoroughly. Emptying your being and allowing the Holy Spirit to fill you. Jesus is our in uncomplicated terms Salvation and no different. A existence bought out to Him and Him in uncomplicated terms. Then will the stable works happen thoroughly with out thinking of your self, yet in uncomplicated terms of others. God the daddy does love anybody. he's the only that can substitute human beings. no you are able to substitute themselves. once you enable Jesus to return in he will restore all of the subject concerns you have. we can't do it ourselves. All adult males (and woman for all you feminists), make a option to maintain on with Jesus. that's a actual relationship, with the writer and Savior of the international. After that we are seen righteous and known to be his baby.

Answer 9

The first three main things I gave up after becoming a Christian - the three things I knew were wrong in my life - were drugs, sexual immorality and drunkenness.

Much later on, I finally lost weight and quit smoking.

But I am a work-in-progress - clay in the hands of GOD - daily being renewed and transformed into HIS image....

....and believe me, HE has much work to do with me before we're finished!
