  1. Hey guys hope you’re all well and may God Bless you and yours for visiting this post, I’ve been searching for a long time for a Christian forum place to talk with others on that would be somewhat secretive, this one seems good. I live in Australia so Christianity isn’t persecuted in fact it’s the major religion here, however I am mandean or supposed to be at least. I’ll tell you my story if you’re keen to read TL;DR: I was 11 years old found Christ till 14 and had a strong connection then I got caught and whooped, became strong athiest and then till 40-50 days ago became Christian again and stronger than ever with a clearer understanding on topics, am 20 and male and Iraqi. So this all starts with an oooldd friend named C--- in school growing up I’d hang out with him and we’d talk eventually he’d mention Christ almighty and I was curious who was this Christ he kept talking about and he said that is God and he is the one and only God. I didn’t really understand back then but one thing I did understand is, how strict my own religion/culture (since mandeanism is mix of both and also a language) is very anti converting to anything else and strict , it had to be secret because I would get whooped. So I started watching these documentaries about Christ in the living room with my parents who were suspicious as to why , and then about Moses was last I saw and then I eventually download a Bible app a year later and a proverbs app or something on my iPad at school and would read bit by bit everyday or most days of the week. Till eventually I got caught, now there’s two things that I cannot explain even as an adult with prestigious marks that’s doing psychology right now and hence why my faith is so unwavering, there’s several more but these are the most profound. Sorry if this is dragged, but one day I was on this Christian website, and mind you I didn’t know what prostration was back then nor did I know what denomination I was getting my information from (probably Protestant), but my dad was gonna abuse me if je caught me and I ran outside in my backyard and was panicking and prayed that God would give me this sign and remove everything and I bowed my mt head and body all the way to the ground when I was 14 and after 2 minutes my dad just called me to get my haircut saying I didn’t catch you now boy but when I do you’ll never forget it. What’s weird is, I had the tabs opened, the history was there everything was out in the open but when I came back my iPad was closed and the website was gone and everything associated with it. At first I thought maybe a glitch but then remembered I did pray and like Matthew 17:20-21 says, I did believe so and it did happen because I trusted in God. Now whilst this one was very quick prayer and was answered also accordingly the next one happened few weeks after this one when I finally got caught with the Bible app on my iPad and by my who,e family including my older brother was abused either emotionally or physically for being a Christian and not mandean, week prior I was walking outside and just conversing naturally with myself and looked at the sky and said to God when I’m 21 or 22 years old Lord make make me more religious and freely too or something along those lines and I had a vivid image of my future say self (my back turned this is just my imagination at the time) holding a Bible in hand. What’s amazing about this prayer is before my Serbian friend talked to me about Christ not too long ago I was heavily athiest and as was he till say 4 months ago, but he is the most if not one of the most religious Christians I’ve met and I love that about him, he started to talk about Jesus randomly out of nowhere when I had another mate over and at the time this Serbian friend and I past 2 years had beef and lowkey hated one another for a long while but in HighSchool were best friends . It’s a long story for another day, anyways we forgave eachother and said sorry and when I heard from another friend he was religious and mocked God I mocked him saying what a delusional idiot, just a week later I started reading the Gospels after having a very long and insightful talk with him, stopped all porn and masturbation (though the temptations are strong, but my love for the Lord is stronger so God willing I’ll prevail as I have) and have become really fascinated in all things Christianity. Especially since I’m now 20, going to turn 21 in but 5 months which is what it prayed to God for which I still can’t get over that. I mocked God, I was lustful as a teenager (still a virgin, in fact besides masturbation haven’t done anything else honestly) and even at some point would mock Christ but again only so my family would leave me, though when they mocked him I don’t know, I felt guilt or guilty even tho I was a strong athiest and even narcissistic at some point. Moving on from all that, I don’t really have a community so I’m trying to build one on this site to have a sense of belonging in that I’m not alone as a secret Christian, and in the future when I’m more independent I’ll definitely worship the Lord more openly but now I can’t risk it, and it’s not just me that’ll get abuse it’s a lot of other things, and some trauma inducing stuff. Regardless my main question is a long one, I used to work with my dad and at his workplace in Blacktown there were a lot of Christians and islanders in that workplace, I would love to attend church and meet like minded people and most importantly worship our Lord, but I fear that if someone from work sees me there since they’re all best mates they may tell my dad “ hey I saw your son at church yesterday!” And we all know where that leads. I guess the question is, is it okay for me to not attend church? And for the fasts (I know orthodoxy generally has the most), since I go gym a loooot and eat lots of dairy and protien and don’t like fish much, what should I cut out or do? I know this is a question for a spiritual advisor of sorts but I don’t have access for now, but if you made it this far then thank you regardless if you don’t have anything to say. This was just my personal journey to our Lord and I was hoping to share it with you fine people. Thanks again for listening and may God Bless you!
  2. f you prefer, you can look up the following verses in your own Bible, of by whatever means and in whatever version you choose. Luke 24:1-12 Genesis 43 Psalm 34 Audio 6:16 Audio 5:02 Audio 2:14 The above addresses are linked to Bible Gateway. That is an easy way to read (or listen to) the Bible verses, and choose your version. Personally, I prefer written, that way I can go at my own pace, on think about it, before moving on. Nothing wrong with doing either or both. The Bible says faith comes by hearing. See the picture below to get an idea of what to expect if you follow the above links. Note: The audio will not play the exact verses, it will play the whole chapters, in which the verses exist. Thank you Lord for making the your word so accessible for us in these times. Amen
  3. For our 2013 Christmas services at NewSpring Church we spent time traveling to Israel to film in Nazareth, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem exploring the birth of Jesus and exploring the relevance in our own lives today. Enjoy!
