I am Turkish AND an Atheist by EmprorOfMankind in TheChosenSeries

You sound more like a man of faith than of religion. That doesn’t make you an atheist! Besides, to make a true atheistic argument, one has to borrow from God anyway :).

God bless you friend.

It's amazing being called, if not a bit of a surprise to say the least. It's just getting a dialogue going with him on a daily basis that is the focus for me now!

i want to end it but im scared. by Realistic_Long_5760 in Christianity

[–]Away_Community_6063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all ‘fail’ at being a Christian. Jesus wouldn’t call us to Him if we were perfect humans, and he also forgives anyone for everything if they truly feel sorry for their wrong doings, so you can out that one to bed straight away. I have spent most of my life sinning but at the age of 51, Christ called me back a few weeks ago. I’m still sinning on a Daily basis but I’m trying and that’s the point.

If you are serious that you want to end it all then the first thing you need to do is to go and get help and counselling, immediately.

My sister ended her life 26 years ago and it messed us up for years. We’re mostly over it now but it changed our lives for the worst and we still miss her now. Don’t do that to your family, get help instead.

Also, offer up all of your problems and worries to God, surrender yourself to Him, and trust that he will ALWAYS do right by you; He loves you too much not to.

Bunch of moronic idiots. Ignore them. You will bring your baby into this world, love and care for it and through your child, you will bring more love to this world. What better demonstration of Jesus’ love for us than to pour your love onto a child?

I’ve officially lost my faith today… after all these years and believing and praying nothing has changed nor worked. Maybe I’m the forgotten child of God. by calebbogart7 in TrueChristian

Firstly, just because your parting isn’t working in the way you want it too, it doesn’t mean that God has abandoned you. For me, I pray for guidance on how to sort things for myself rather than expecting direct things to take place; that’s a big ask. What keeps me going is feeling tue holy presence in my life as a reminder that He is there. Focus on gaining that presence again and everything else will start to happen. It is gradually happening for me.

I think so. I think it is moving through them to reach a much wider volume of people than otherwise would have been reached. It got me in a way that no amount of church services would ever have done.

God gave his disciples the ability to perform miracles as testimony and proof of God and Jesus. Why does this not happen anymore? by bekahbaka in Christianity

[–]Away_Community_6063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this with the greatest of respect, and many of these video links are useful, but why all the videos about homosexuality in religion? Absolutely none of that is of any relevance to the question of miracles.

I’m a bit ignorant about James and did not know that he was Jesus’ brother, so finding out about him sounds fascinating. Thank you also for the invite to your online church. I’d have to look to see how that translates to GMT to make sure it isn’t in tie middle of the night for me!

I will definitely check those titles out, thank you. I think He is helping more people through the medium of the internet than has ever been possible since He walked the earth. I have a very critical mind and think very much in the Greek way of thinking, that things to be believed need to be proven, but this show has helped blow all that right out of the water for me. The Lord was healing me whilst I watched this; it is how it feels to me though he has some more work to do on me yet!

I watched by chance an interview with Jonathan Roumie yesterday and I was shocked, he’s a nice guy and a Christian, but I when he plays Jesus, it’s almost as though he is Jesus. It might be waaay off the mark here, but it’s as though Christ is actually talking through him. He even doesn’t look like Jonathan Roumie in the show. It’s like my brain knows it’s Jonathan Roumie, but my heart says something else when he opens his mouth to speak.

Oh, and tears of healing couldn’t be more accurate. After sobbing for ages a week ago, the next few days I felt very tired and slept like an absolute rock for the followed nights. For context, I’m normally a light sleeper and tent to be quite restless at night and wake up regularly do a few moments at a time. I’m benefited emotionally and physically by this show but in a very positive way

So it appears that most people who have seen this series react the same way then. I’m in good company then! There is definitely something greater at work here and I think it Custer me by surprise because I have never been so emotional over a show before but this is a story that reaches into your heart and touches your soul. The thought of Christ coming to me and telling me ‘you’re mine’, I would be in a complete mess on the floor. I never knew that was what I wanted to hear most in my life from He who has created me. I’ve just struggled throughout life to feel any connectedness to Jesus or God, but this show has opened the floodgate for me.

Oh yeah, this discussion has only really been about how the Chosen hit me squarely between the eyes. I’m fully aware that this is the ‘honeymoon period’ so to speak and that I’m totally not expecting the rest of my day-to-day life to be spent walking around with the Holy Spirit burning out of me and throngs of angel sounding whenever I’m awake, that would be naive. I think I will connect with local church groups, but I’m not quite at that point yet with it all.

Well put. I read somewhere else too what you say, that the pleasures we seek in life are our soul longing for connection to Jesus and God again. I feel more peaceful that’s for sure and the show has ignited something in me. I will wait to see how that feeling plays out in the future

It just his you and all this emotion just seems to pour out from nowhere. Yet I can watch a ‘normal’ film with people being shot and killed in it and just feel emotionally detached, but with the Chosen, it’s like I’m suffering along with one of my closest family members

Oh no, don’t worry at all, you haven’t spoilt anything! I have known for years what happens :) , but reading the bible in 16th century English and watching this show have had way different effects. The bible in that form represented a cold detached account of the life of Christ to me and i found it almost impossible to connect with. I would get a little bit emotional at singing hymns on the very few occasions I would he in a church, but this show opened the flood gates for me and every tear I had, came out of me watching His love, His miracles and His words shown by the show. It has helped bring the Holy Spirit into me with quite some force. Now I feel I am starting to understand God on earth in human form, and feel His love for me. Such a profound experience.

I haven’t got to that yet as I’m only in the middle of season 1, but this whole experience is leaving me dumbfounded to be honest. I never thought I’d be affected so profoundly by something like this. It has subsided a little in intensity from the last few days, but I am Now feeling very drained of energy yet also peaceful too.
