Well here's a tip from me, don't turn into one of those bible-thumpers who are basically controlled by what they've learned from their religion. To me, being apart of a religion is mostly having someone or something to look up to. Like a well respected family member. It's cool and all to believe in that someone/something but when it's running your life, you've gotta chill out. Now if you happen to be a person that follows their religion like it's the government then good for you. Just remember as human beings, you're entitled to believe in whatever you want. As long as you don't turn out to be mass-murdering Nazis. Then we'd have a problem. |

i feel like explaining the ten commandments to you. but i wont. maybe. 1.You cannot love something more than god,even food 2.Dont make a one item your idol,and girlishly worship it like,"please give me 5000 dollars" 3.Dont say anything like Omg,Or ohmaigawd in vain. 4.Always go to church on Sabbath day(Sunday) 5.Honor your father and mother,because they decided to put you in this world(Mostlikely) 6.Dont murder,you are forcing them to give up something god wanted them to have and its something he created,and changing something god made is saying you dont like life. 7.Dont rape people. 8.Do not steal,god gave the item to them for a reason. 9.dont say your neighbor did something and you saw it,for it is lying. 10.do not be jelous and want something more than u love god. |

God is one. He is the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Three characteristics, but still one God. A glorious mystery. An example would be an egg shell, the egg white, and the egg yoke is just one egg, but has three different characteristics. God created man, but man rebelled against God in the Garden of Eden. God had a plan to redeem man. God came to Earth as Jesus (part of the holy trinity: the father, son, and the holy spirit). Jesus was born of a ****** and lived a sinless life. He was crucified on a cross in payment for man's sin. On the third day after his death he raised from the dead and conquered sin and death. There is nothing that man can do on his own works to save himself. He needed God to take punishment for his own sins. In order to be saved you have to freely accept Jesus' gift of salvation. Once someone has been saved, they have truly accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior, they will follow Jesus out of love and appreciation for him. An example from the Bible, "For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, NOT as a result of works that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9). Another example from the Bible Jesus says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except by me" (John 14:6). A third example from the Bible is, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). The next step after being saved is to find a Bible believing church that believes in God as the trinity (the father, son, and holy spirit) and believes that salvation is from grace through faith and not of works. You can't earn your way to heaven. God did it for you once and for all. God offers a gift, but God does not force his gift on anyone because man is given free will. A true Christian is grateful that they have been saved and they want to obey God's commandments out of love and gratefulness. I hope this helps! |
