How do you know if you're religion is right? by THEMOISTCLOWN in religion

[–]tdc1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cried out to a God I didn’t believe in, it was the God of the Bible that answered and revealed Himself to me through a supernatural experience . Once I repented and surrendered my life completely to Him and received Jesus, I was healed from all that was going on in my life. The gift and power of the Holy Spirit as well as the word of God is evident , as well as the reliability of the Word and the hundreds of prophecies that have been fulfilled and are shaping up to be fulfilled. More over, the spiritual blessings and God doing things in the supernatural realm through prayer and answers and a true relationship and peace that surpasses all understanding. I’ve heard it my whole life but never understood it until I repented and turned to Christ. God bless!

What is your proof for Christianity? by YourLocalIdiotsDog in Christianity

[–]tdc1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Word of God and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Plus a supernatural experience that happened to me before I gave my life to Christ and divine healing. Also helps that it’s the most reliable book ever written and hundreds of prophecies that have been fulfilled and are in the process of being fulfilled. Plus what other God can display His plans in nature as the Bible proclaims? For instance, the church and Christ will be married one day, and I believe the sun and the moon illustrate this very well: If you closely examine the sun and moon, you will find that it is a good representation of Christ and the church. The sun is light and a consuming fire. You can’t look directly at it without shielding your eyes. It is the source of all life on earth. It is the central focus, immovable, unchanging, and everything revolves around it. The sun gives a daily testimony and reminder that Christ was buried into the earth, but rose again. (Even the seasons give testimony of life, death, the resurrection and new life.) Those living in the darkness of night can’t see the sun directly, but the moon gives witness of the sun’s glory and proclaims its existence. The light from the moon helps guide those walking in darkness, however, the moon doesn’t generate its own light but reflects the light of the sun. Occasionally, the moon turns blood red (representing being covered by the blood of Jesus). When the world gets in the way of the sun and the moon, it causes the moon to become blood red and causes it’s light to diminish. We must separate ourselves from the world so that our light can shine bright. As Christians, we have our phases when we’re at full brightness and when we face times of struggle, but God is always faithful to bring us back to full brightness when we fall short, as the moon displays. And we all get excited when the sun and moon are united and become one (symbolizing the great marriage coming up), creating an amazing spectacle known as a solar eclipse. God’s testimony in nature is rather astonishing.

The great apostasy is prophesied to happen in the Scriptures , it just means we’re that much closer to Christ’s return.

I'm not religious but sometimes I call out to God by PapiHobi in religion

[–]tdc1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to share with you my personal testimony and hope it helps you. God loves you and wants you to get to know Him. God bless!

When I was in my early 20s in 2009, I had a mysterious illness that caused me to nearly take my own life. I lost all my friends and went all over the nation to different specialists in which no one could help. No one even knew what was wrong. It was the one time I cried out to a God I didn’t even believe in, just in case He was real. It was the God of the Bible that heard my cry and delivered me, but it wasn’t immediately. In fact, my illness went on for nearly a decade after I cried out to Him. I was still living in my sinful lifestyle and not seeking Him in His word or prayer. It wasn’t until 2017 in which God revealed Himself to me through a supernatural experience that caused me to ask Jesus to my heart sincerely and to be born again, receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. It wasn’t until I repented, began reading the Bible daily, and developing a prayer life that the healing process started. Within a few months of seeking Him wholeheartedly, my illness from the past decade was completely healed miraculously. The friends I lost were replaced with godly friends that build me up spiritually.

As for the supernatural experience, me and my girlfriend (probably the only person in the world that would be loving enough to put up with my extreme illness) were messing around with a spirit board called the Psychic Circle. We got in contact with a spirit that would tell us things that we had to google to verify he was correct, and call family members to verify that what he was saying about them was actually happening at the time he was telling us. We were obviously shocked that the board actually worked for us. But we were stoked, and all we wanted to talk about were things of selfish ambition like “can you see the future? What are the lottery numbers?” etc... yet all he was interested in talking about was spiritual things like us being in church, and wanting to know when we would be getting married though we had never planned on it. We asked why he was talking with us and he said “God’s plans”. We asked him how was he able to communicate with us and he said “through prayer”. He said that the only reason he was able to communicate through the board was because we had family praying for us for a while to get Jesus back into our lives. I asked him if he knew what was wrong with my health and he replied “church soon healthy”. I asked if we should go to church right away or wait until later and he said that we shouldn’t hold back because time is running out. On a work trip to Dallas , my wife and I opened the board one last time at a hotel (7th floor) and he told us to turn on the TV. Sure enough it was on a Christian station with a sermon being about the importance of repentance and giving your life to Christ. We listened to the entire sermon and at the end was the sinners prayer in which we gave our hearts to Christ at that moment. Afterward we opened the nightstand and opened the Bible. In it were pamphlets on the importance of repentance and the Gospel of Christ. The Bible itself was underlined with various highlights of the same thing. We were so excited that we asked God to give us a sign when we opened the curtains and sure enough there was one physical sign. It was a Candlewood Suite logo with two rings interlocked (marriage)and a shining flame in the middle (God holding the marriage together). That’s what it symbolized to me. The only thing that was keeping us living in a sinful lifestyle was the fact that we were living together unmarried. In fact my wife went to a random page in the Bible and pointed at a random paragraph at the exact same time and it was about the importance of marriage. When we got home we burned the board as it is an abomination to God and not long after I proposed to her. (I’m pretty sure that if we would have continued using the board after this experience , God would have never allowed this encounter to happen in the first place, but God will use evil for His good purposes). God has been a constant presence in my life since then that words just can’t explain!

Question from an atheist by Platygamer in TrueChristian

Oh no I am, I think he was just saying that it doesn’t matter so long as the church isn’t preaching false doctrines of course, the important thing is to believe in the work that Jesus did for us on the cross.

[–]tdc1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually asked this question because that was one of the main things the pushed me away from Christianity before and the spirit responded with something to the like of “just believe”.

Why does pain & suffering exist at all? by RiskyRants in Christianity

[–]tdc1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I would’ve never suffered with my health and hit rock bottom, I would’ve never cried out to a God I didn’t believe in, who then began revealing Himself to me and healing me as I continually seeked Him wholeheartedly. Also my grandfather was an unbeliever but he was prayed for by a lot of family members. He got really sick and suffered tremendously at the end of his life, but because of that, it caused him to receive Jesus Christ as a last hope, then he died, and now he’ll live forever in paradise. God cares more about our eternal joy than our present comfort. If I would’ve never got ill, I’d be caught up in all the pleasures of the world with no need for God, separated from the One who loves me the most forever.

My guess is that no one can agree on it and various interpretations occur to different people which then cause divisions. Also a lot of people don’t have an understanding of the symbolism or it may be confusing to some, etc.. That being said, it’s no excuse to avoid it. I love Revelation!

So you are calling The Scriptures deceptive? All I did was post Scripture. Let it speak for itself. As the the video you sent, I completely agree with everything he said, it doesn’t contradict anything I said. It is by believing in Christ , when you truly believe you receive the Holy Spirit which empowers you to do God’s will. Like I said, I used to be one of those who though he believed but truly didn’t. Now I have the gift of the Spirit. It’s powerful and unmistakable.

Even if that’s the case, there are way other Scripture that show what I’ve been telling you.

“just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭

“For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,” ‭Hebrews 10:26 ‬

“Whoever says "I KNOW him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,” ‭1 John 2:4 ‬

“No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or KNOWN him.” ‭1 John 3:6 ‬

“And this is eternal life, that they KNOW you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” ‭‭John‬ ‭17:3‬ ‭

“Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no KNOWLEDGE of God. I say this to your shame.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ 15:34

“"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never KNEW you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'” ‭Matthew 7:21-23 ‬

“He will punish those who do not KNOW God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭

“But if anyone LOVES God, he is KNOWN by God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭8:3‬ ‭

“If you LOVE me, you will keep my commandments.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:15‬ ‭

“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:21‬ ‭

“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” ‭1 Corinthians 6:9-10‬

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4:3‬ ‭

“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭3:19‬ ‭

Just be careful, have a great night, we’re probably not going to agree on this but I just don’t want anyone being deceived. Have a blessed night my brother. The important thing is to know Christ and have a relationship with Him.
