    Open ended thoughts.

    How does one surrender all to God? How does one believe in Christ? How does one have faith in Christ?

    Do I call myself Christian? I am uncomfortable calling myself one.
    Do I believe I know God? No. I read The Bible. I say prayers. I say I surrender myself to Jesus. Do I really believe it? No.
    Do I really believe I'm saved? No.

    How does one get there?

    Thank you for the link. I am reminded of lastnights reading in a devotional book.

    Matthew 11:28-30

    “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

    Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

    For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

    I think for me it was and still is a phase but with each phase of religion i go through I’m realising Christianity is my path I need to go on, I’ve tried other paths but they where not for me, so I’m encouraging this path.

    I do find it ironic that tell someone your buddhist and they look in owe but tell them your a Christian and they quickly grow weary and dismissive. Jesus in fact said that people will persecute you for being Christian so I think it’s part of Christianity to not to be highly revered. If anything gives me more faith in the bible and the word. To me buddhism and Christianity it doesn’t matter which is right it’s just ive chosen Christianity and accept that as the truth for me.

    I take pride to call myself a Christian now, embrace it try to read the bible a bit(I recommend new living testament translation)

    A big reason I began looking back toward Christianity was to help deal with this lust and porn issue. Following the world advice and worrying about what base I'm going to cross has made things way more difficult. Reflecting on the past twenty five years I can see how much I was being told to ignore focusing on scoring the "home base" (sex). Ever since I heard that baseball analogy as a young teen there has been a resistance to it.

    Today I see how I need to help of something greater than me to get through life.

    This realization is true wisdom.

    Also, I love your screen name. Baldur's Gate fan, maybe? :)

    @Tao Jones Played the game for maybe three hours. Heard Minsc's lines many a time when my brother played.

    Still wrapping my head around the idea that it's not me who finds God but God who finds me. God is the shepherd who seeks out the lost sheep.

    @Minsc You begin your journey of faith by believing you are a sinner in need of a savior and putting your trust in what Jesus did for you in the cross. Have you ever done that?
