Just curious.... do you any of you have faith in the unseen? I know this board is majorly a young crowd.. but I still found the need to post and see if anyone here has faith in God above.. and if so id like you to share what it does for your life and how it effects your daily activities.. please no God bashing or bashing religions.. i dont want any of that.. i just want to see where people stand in their faith..
Personally.. Im a born again christian as of last Sept, 15th.. i called out to God for help due to many horrible circumstances in my life.. I was living a very horrible and dark life.. but God pulled me away from that and now i put all my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.. if has helped me more then I can explain.. it gives me hope in this life and the next.. I deal with problems easier and with much more confidents and Im filled with lots of love that I never had before.. am I still a sinner? sure Iam.. i was born one.. I have a long way to go before I become what God has invisioned for me and my life.. so thats my story.. just so people know where I stand.. so shoot away.. let me know if any of you have exeriences with faith and or religion..any questions that you guys have. i more then happy to answer..
In my eyes theres a big difference between faith and religion.. but im open to see how others feel if you feel the need to reply.. if not its all good.. just wanted to see if anyone would reply.. Cheers..
"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.
AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff, including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.
I am Lutheran,, I was born in a strict protestant home. I still believe in God. Do I practice my religion like I should? NO! Do I want to? Yes. I guess I need to sit down and realize what I want for me and my family. I go back and forth and have so since I lost my mom to suicide when I was young.

its definetely not an easy road to be on.. im like that as well.... i sway from the left to the right.. i think the main thing is 3 things for christians... and these 3 produce major changes.. daily 5 minute reading of scripture.. praying and attending service.. when these 3 are done... all the rest is history.. God fills you with these 3 and the rest follows.. God is good.. he only wants the best for us.. how old are you may I ask? im sure youll find your way bro

i believe in god but i dont trust church,priest ... i studied at a catholic school and was a churchgoer person but not anymore... i dont think they have done their job, when i i talk to god i do straight to him with no persons in between.......
If it's good enough for Tom Cruise, it's good enough for me.
haha.. i think this shouldnt even be called a religion.. its quite sad with the increase in this faith so to speak.. i think many actors are even being payed to believe in this...

I totally agree with what your saying.. that catholics comdemn people for their sins.. when God says the opposite and forgives you.. thats where it goes wrong in my eyes.. in religion people try to reach God.. in true christianity faith God reaches out to people...
