Im curious

is there anyone from Sup Forums that has had their "Testimony" or for lack of better words converted to Christianity? If so what happened? Or have you grown up with faith. Ive researched youtube videos and there are an unbelievable amount of people that share their stories. People that have had no interest in religion prior.

In the process of doing so, but finding it real hard to swallow some of these pills.

I grew up without any religious teachings at all. My family certainly instilled judeo-christian principles, but no supreme being or judgement existed.

That resulted in a few things that ultimately led me to willingly pursue Christianity.

1.) Fear of death. Enough said, but this fear was debilitating; hours of wasted time almost having a panic attack.

2.) No real reason for me to be a 'good' person. Once I figured out how to lie to people and get away with it, I started to wonder why I followed all the rest of the rules my parents had spoken about. Eventually I realized it was basically a fear of the police. This led me to a pretty frustrated existence: I wanted to do things, but couldn't because of made up rules etc. (tl:dr...edgy teen phase.)

I talked with some Christian friends of mine and have started to go to Church.

What I have real difficulty with is individuality within Church. I take pride (I suppose the Christian answer might be that my pride is sinful and needs to be snuffed out?) in who am I, and I don't see how personality lasts in Christianity. All the hardcore Christians seem like the same person.

This election showed me Satan is real.

Was raised oitside of church.

I was born again on Nov.7th and Trump was elected Nov.8th.

Jesus is coming soon, get ready.

Lifelong Christian here user, pride is not necessarily evil, as long as your pride doesn't lead to arrogance or conceit it's not considered sinful.

As per your identity crisis, most extremists of any group tend to sound the same (you should know this, you're on Sup Forums), as long as you're not eating radicalized nonsense you won't morph into a Ned Flanders.

>1.) Fear of death. Enough said, but this fear was debilitating; hours of wasted time almost having a panic attack.

And the opposite of this is true for many people who have panic attacks praying to the Lord. So enthralled with the potential punishment that awaits them they're paralyzed with fear. I was this way, I would pray four hours every day, every night. In tears, because of how afraid I was that God would snatch someone away arbitrarily or that I could not move the unmoved mover.

>2.) No real reason for me to be a 'good' person.

The Bible offers no reason to be a good person either. If it did, there wouldn't be so many bad Christians. Further, the Bible's only rules for eternal salvation can be boiled down to simple and easy flow-chart:

>Do you have faith and believe in the Almighty God, His Son, and their Works?
>If yes, you are saved.

That's it. You just have to accept Jesus and the Lord, and the stories that the Bible pushes. Nothing else. You don't have to do anything else. Whether you like it or not, if Heaven is a shared space, you are going to be sharing that space with nonce's.

>I would pray four hours every day, every night. In tears, because of how afraid I was that God would snatch someone away arbitrarily

You sound like a complete loon

I realized how broken the world is, that it can't always be like this and the only logical conclusion was to trust in Jesus that he died to save me from myself

Welcome to Catholic dogma, (don't) enjoy your stay. I did CCD for ten years, and went to religious private schools. This was drilled into me every single day. Then finally someone casually mentioned to me that the Jews didn't build the pyramids (I had just seen the Prince of Egypt at the time), and everything started to shake loose from there. I feel a lot better now than I did back then, I can sleep without worrying so much.

Serious, user?
Pizzagate did it for me. Lead me to understanding about the inner workings of Satan and the Jews and has brought me to the path I'm on now to understanding Jesus Christ and what he was really trying to do and tell us.

Anyway, see you in September.

the Sup Forums from a decade ago would have hanged all of you christfags.
