Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a great day, im doing well, a bit tired, but im living so its all good! So as you can see, if youve been on my site before, i deleted all my old post. I really didnt see that my post, and comments on peoples pages could actually make them feel more pushed to become a christian than more like a welcome. You know what im saying? So once again i apologise, to all my former visitors. I honestly didnt want to come off as pushy, but reading back on my comments i left you all, and taking advice from different people, i realize i was pushy, and thats never cool! So, a great person onlne who really is dedicated to GOD, gave me this example to use,m instead of me forcing my beliefs on everyone! Im sure some of you read it, but to all new people, or even the old ones who never read it, here is a nicer point of view of what im getting at:
Hey guys, I have a question for you, have you ever picked up a banana, that looked all ripe and yellow on the outside, but once you peeled it, it was all bad and mushy on the inside? Well, that's exactly how my life was, before I came to know Jesus. Yeah, I went to church, prayed, and read my bible now and then, and I called myself a Christian. But just like that banana, I put on my "Jesus act" at church and around my pastor, but around my friends at school and on the street, I was just like them, doing everything around them I wouldn't think about doing around my pastor. But I was reading the bible one day in Romans 9:32 and it said: Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over Satan and his lies. That was me, I was working at being a Christian, instead beliving by faith that I was a Christian. I realized that it's not about a religion at all, it's about a close personal relationship with Jesus. So I prayed (this time for real) for Jesus to come into my heart, and give me a new lifestyle. After that, I didn't feel any different, but God was working in ways I couldn't see, and slowly, my life started to be all about Him, and doing what He wanted me to do. But still, my life isn't perfect. I still mess up, say things I'm not supposed to, just like a banana might sometimes have one or two bad spots. I'm not better than anybody else, just someone with a changed heart. If you'd like to know more about this relationship, feel free to comment, or you could go to www.notreligion.com, and learn more there. It's up to you, no one can force this on you, not me or your pastor, it's your own personal decision, one way or the other. But regardless of that, God bless.
If you have any questions, or even would like to have a little conversation over this matter, or a conversation, on why im a christian, or my point, or anything, Dont hesitate to ask! But if dont like what im saying, lets just leave at that, and you dont reply, or at least not negatively. I dont mind a debate, but all the extra cursing, and making mean jokes isent nessary, and i wont deal with that. Like i said, i apoligize for pressuring, and coming off strong. And i wont force anything on anyone ok? Thank you for visiting my site!
P.S Thank you Nplaceofbj, for this wonderful example! Your in my prayers
GOD BLESS!!!!
A Child Of GOD!!!!
