Is anyone on this site a Christian? I am and I just wanted to see who is. And if anyone is. How did you come to know God. I'll share my story.

 

 

 

 

My aunt said that I should read a man named Ted Dekker's writings. And so I did. I found out that he was a Christian author. I was fine with that because they were good books. I finally realized that I needed God in my life. I realized that I had fallen in love with God. Not the weird type of love but the love of a son for his father.

It seems like a bad way to come to God. But that is the way it happened.

I am, and pretty much always have been.

 

I went to pre-school with a girl named Madeline, and I freaked out when pre-school ended. I knew she was heading to the Virginia Academy, and we were BFFs. But I was going to another school. I begged and begged my parents, and they agreed to let me go there with her. A year later, she left, but I stayed. It was a Christian school, and I started to believe. Eventually, I switched to another elementary school, then middle school, then to a different private middle school, and next year I'll go to public school again for high school. My dad doesn't believe, and when my mom was here, she didn't. It's just me, but I do believe. <3

Does it count if you're Catholic? It's basically the same thing.

 

Catholics are a form of Christianity o3o

I'm Catholic too... But meh, I don't agree with some things.

xD

I'll leave it at that.

I call myself "half a Christian". Since I am not going to post my life story here, I'm not going to explain what I mean by that. But to answer your question, yes I am a Christian, and its only because I was brought up as one.

I am born and raised a Christian. My story? Well...its a bit of a wild one to believe, but if you believe in God then believe that my story is true too:

 

Since the age of 5, I was possessed by a demon. I don't remember how it exactly happened, I suppose it was because my family was moving from house to house, I was a lonely boy with no friends. My demon that controlled me influenced me into the deadly sins...I never listened to God, always to the demon. Year by year and day by day my emotions faded and burned away from existence, I became empty, hollow, emotionless. I couldn't feel anything, I couldn't be happy or sad or angry or guilty. For the next 11 years of my life I was hated and annoyed by everyone and I didn't care. I developed "Masks" or false emotions and personalities created by researching other people and their actions, through this I was able to survive casual gatherings between me and my supposid friends.

 

But then...

 

At the beginning of this school year, I met a girl...I didn't know her, she never knew me. She was friends with my friends, so she was automatically part of us and an automatic friend of mine. Our first real conversation together was online, she asked me out on a date there....that was the first time anyone ever asked me out before..and I declined it, saying that I had...conditions...because of this demon I had in me..she shouldn't know..but later on she found out about my demonic possession, and to my suprise, she was actually able to help me with it, that night, I put an excorsism on myself and the demon was finally thrown away from me and sent back to Hell.........after that I felt extremely out of energy, but I felt lighter as well..the next 3 days or so God rushed a set of newly created emotions into me, I couldn't control them...happiness, I actually felt HAPPINESS!! HA!! YES!!!!! Later on in the school year me and that same girl have now become boyfriend and girlfriend, she was given knowledge of demons and deals with them daily, apparently now I do as well. These are a specific type of demon, we don't know much about them, all we know is that they enter through the back of the neck. Anyways, after the excorsism I got greatly closer to God, I pray every day and I talk to him all the time. Before, I thought I had to fight the pain of having that demon till the day I died...but she freed me from my chains..I was no longer a monster, now i'm human again..for the first time in over a decade I can smile......and for the first time ever..I'm in love..

I was raised as a Christian and I thought I was until one day I realized that I myself was becoming a horrible person and I hurt one of my best friends and since then I have really excepted God in my life and although I am a Christian I do not have a religion. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

im Catholic and i never had a religion until i was 8. When my dad found out about the Catholic Church he forced my family into being Catholic. Idk about anyone else in my family but im not so sure if i believe in a God or not. And the only reason my dad wanted to be Catholic was to become a Knight of Culombus and get insurance out of it.

When I was a baby, I was baptized as a Catholic, just the same as my older brothers. My parents are both Catholics, just as their parents were. The religion was forced upon my parents, and they didn't like that. So when I was still a little kid, around the age of three, they took my brothers and me out of church. We no longer went, didn't pray, or say grace.

 

I'm glad though, my parents are letting my brother's and me form our own opinions about God and religion. As a result, I never really felt like God existed. When the first dog I had was put to sleep, and I prayed for him, I just felt like I was talking to myself in my head, that no one else was listening. From then on I didn't give a thought about God. To this day I don't believe he exists. I've never had anything miraculous happen to me that made me change my opinion. My life's been normal.

 

But because I didn't have the Catholic religion shoved into my head, I'm more open and accepting of people. I'm friends with people of different religions: Agnostic, Wiccan, Atheist, Christian, and even Satanist. I find that religion can cause a lot of problems in life. But without religion, America wouldn't be the way it is/was. Many of the New England states were formed for religious freedom. But enough of that, getting off topic.

 

I don't bash on others who do believe in God, since people don't hate me for not believing in a higher power. I don't really want to label myself a certain religion since I don't believe in God or any other mystical being. I may be baptized as Catholic, but that doesn't mean I believe in what others do.

I am an Atheist, and I do think that God existed. However, I don't too. As to why, I'm not too sure myself. It's just one of the things you don't know yourself. When I was younger, I did believe God existed, but I guess some events in life made me think about it.

I am an Antheist. It's difficult for me to believe in God when I was always lied to. Sometimes the world seems like nothing but an illusion to me(no Zexion pun intended). I've read the whole bible as well as information about other religions(Budism, Jehovah's Witness, ect.)but none of it makes sense. Now, don't think I'm bashing any religions because I'm not trying to. I'm just saying, in my opinion, a lot of things don't make sense to me because I tend to go "in deph" with things. It's said that God doesn't judge people yet he's against me for me being a medium(Leviticus 21:27) and being bisexual(Leviticus 20:13). To me, that's holding a judge. I want to get closer to God but I feel like He's pushing me away. You're suppose to fear AND love God but I've only come to fear him. So, as for now, I'm an Antheist; a woman who likes to keep her "options" open. Also, he think it's ok to hurt animals but I'm not even going to go there...

I was baptized as a young child but my family never went to church. But when I was 7 I went to a place Called Pines Bible Camp and learned a little about stuff and thought I was a Christian, but I like never went to church or prayed or anything. I did believe in god though.

 

However something happened to me (not gonna say what, besides some of you already know.) so now I'm not sure if there's a god or not, though I'm pretty sure there isn't, but if he is out there I'm sure he hates me.

I've believed as long as I could remember. I am a firm follower of Christianity but I am willing to accept other ideas. I personally think some of the major religions derived from one original and 100% true source, but due to the way humanity developed things changed up.

I was raised a Catholic-Christian and I guess I believe in God (though I've pretty much given up praying...it SURE did me a load of good /sarcasm), but there are still a ton of things in Catholicism that I really don't agree with.

I consider myself a Christian, however due to soccer and other I was never really involved with going to church and learning more in-depth about my own religion. I spent the days when my family normally would go to church playing in sports so... yeah. /shot

 

I used to go when I was really young.

 

I kind of want to start going again, but at the same time I feel like I've lost my connection with Christianity itself so. = idk. I'm weird.

I'm Christian and believe in God. I never really had a definite discovery of how I came to know God, but I think the love I receive everyday in life is a blessing from him and who all surrounds me. I'm glad to be given this gift and to share happiness and laughter with others.

I choose not to follow a religion, not because "there is no god" or anything like that. I am spiritual and kinda believe in a higher power, but right now, I'm trying to figure everything out in my life before I figure out a religion.

 

But I've always leaned toward Buddhism.

I'm pretty tolerant of all religions and I believe they all intend to do good things for people. Well I don't like Satanism, mostly because it is the polar opposite of my religion.
