I Have Been Saved

I found Jesus Christ. I am celebrating that he died for me. My life has improved considerably since I found Him. This is an incredible feeling. I have never been this happy in my life. The peace I have found is intoxicating. I am now trying to improve my relationship with the Lord.
Im not sure if this is the place for this. But part of a relationship with Christ is sharing your love of the Lord.
I pray for everyone on this board to find Jesus Christ. Hell is a terrible alternative.
This is a 41 year old who has lived an extremely risky and a not very fruitful life. I drank and whored to extremes. But in the past 2 months I found Jesus Christ and my life is more peaceful.
Thanks for listening.

congratulations. Due to the hubris of this board I thought you were going to have some joke regarding an in-game save in madden or such. Congrats on the life changing experience and I hope that you'll improve the lives of others because of it.

Sounds pretty much like the way it's supposed to work

The tricky part seems to be the whole staying in the center of his will thing, to which I can only say that He doesn't move so when we get off course it's a matter of steering ourselves back to that point again. The good news there is that He's happy to help us do that.

Enjoy it, ain't nothing else like it.

Congratulations.

I anticipate this thread moving in a slightly different direction, though. I give it less than 25 posts.

So... is this going to effect your gameplanning? If the meek shall inherit the earth, I think that means you have to spot Jacksonville at least one win a year...

If you have a problem simply ignore the thread, it's not that hard.

Congratulations Tarcone, I am happy for you.

Where did I say I have a problem?

Why don't I get the same congratulations for my discovery? I know it says ages 4-6, but we don't all operate the same way.

As an atheist, it's all about being happy, and if this makes you happy tarcone, then cool.

As someone who believes in "God" but struggles with buying in to organized religion, I think this is an interesting question and would love to hear the story.

Ironically, yesterday I spent quite a bit of time on this website: Evidence for God from Science

One of my co-workers recommended it and I found it pretty interesting. There were a lot of fallacious arguments, but some of them made good sense.

You are so wrong on this, I think you need some advise. If you're driving with the window down and some guy calls you and says he bets a rabbit will piss in you ear, don't take the bet. You'll be out money and have rabbit piss in your ear.

if there is a hell i'm calling dibs on lakefront property. the lake would obviously be a lake of fire and chaos, but hey beggars can't be choosers.


but anyway, whether God exists or not its nice that you chose to take the blue pill and are satisfied with the Matrix. sounds like you'll be a much nicer human and others will respect the life you live. i think its a quaint and remarkable trait that someone can choose to chase the carrot in front of them while others know the carrot doesn't exist.
