I remember sobbing uncontrollably while watching Christ crucified for ME! God was speaking to me as I was watching this difficult scene. Needless to say, I was listening. In fact, I told my live in girlfriend at that time that our relationship was going to have to change, that I didn't feel right with it anymore. Well, that didn't go over big with her. I lost a girlfriend and gained a Savior. Guess who won in that exchange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end Christianity and the God of the Bible were the only one that made sense, so here I am. I have not come to the "beyond a shadow of a doubt" stage and I am not sure I will till I stand before God. Even John the Baptist had his doubts and he was there when Jesus was baptized and God spoke. Know that even people like John the Baptist can have doubts makes me feel better about my own.

As I, believing in Him, at very young age did not understand the need to reckon up an to that point of my calling out to God to save me dead and make all things new after that calling upon. duh! right ... > instead< I tried to make the old new even while being new which had supernaturally occurred. God's truth in substance within preserved me to come to the understanding of walk with Him in a reverse fashion. So that now in learning in reverse I know there is no life here apart from God but that life is where He 'IS' at >Presently< and I know this experientially by trying to make life here... Colossians chapter 3 all! Love, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God called to me and I answered.Thank You God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in university I realized something can not come from nothing and I read about the great mathematician Kurt Gödel's Incompleteness theorem. Even impressed Einstein ,who sponsored Gödel to the USA. Basically it shows science can never understand the universe. So then I read about the Nazareth Inscription -written in about ad 41 by Emperor Claudius. I found out that the greatest Roman historian of our age, Gaetano de Sanctis said the Nazareth Inscription referred to the empty tomb of Jesus. Many other Roman historians such as Hermann agree. Here I found extra-Biblical evidence of the resurrection. Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin read John 15:5 before Neil Armstrong opened the lunarship's door to first step onto the Moon in 1969.Houston heard the Bible reading but NASA blocked it to the whole planet. I then read that water cavitation-fast moving water over45mph- can create superbubbles that can eat through solid steel in minutes.The Grand Canyon could be dug in a few weeks in the days of Noah. I was a skeptic but now after many years of research am 100% certain J.Christ is God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 ....Christianity and the God of the Bible were the only one that made sense, so here I am. I have not come to the "beyond a shadow of a doubt" stage.... Step So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 By Step Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Psalms 119:160 By Step Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John 6:47 ~ Be Blessed Beloved Of The KING The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27 Love, Your Brother Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
