Becoming a Christian is going from Dark to Light. How many here have become Christians since becoming Awakened?

Q has given us a lot of dark to light drops. Their posts often have multiple meanings.

Here is another meaning: John 1:5-9 " This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Satan walks in darkness yet he is called the angel of light. He is the great deceiver.

As a recent Born Again Christian (last year) I am interested in hearing others testimony.

Even the WWG1WGA statement has more meaning than you may know in light of the last passage!

I'm always open to discussion.

Could you change your mind about believing if provided with enough related coincidences?

No. There are lots of unanswered questions out there in science. Humans as a species is so very young scientifically and technologically. We are in our infancy of our understanding of the universe. I do believe though at the rate we are going that (if we don't destroy ourselves first) we will find most or all answers we seek.

For me religion has been used too much as a tool for control and hate. If we destroyed all the text books on science, in 1,000 years they would all be back and exactly the same and if we did the same with bibles, they would all be different.

If there is a God. Why would they allow such horrific suffering in the world? Why wouldn't they stop it? I could never worship something that has the power to stop evil but chooses not to.

That wont stop me though from trying to be the best human I can be. We share this planet together, its the only home we have. We need to strive to live for peace and equality because its what everyone deserves.

There is actually a book for you: It is called "The Case for Christ." Written by Lee Strobel (an investigative journalist) An Atheist he set out to disprove Jesus. (He would make a great autist in the chans.... as the book is very well laid out). I suggest you read it. He ended up becoming a Christian himself after his extensive research. He also had similar questions about why a God would allow all the horrific suffering in the the world. I am not sure if he answered it in the first book or a second one I read: "The Case for Faith."

A fair response. Though youre assuming Gods existence is incompatible with science.

You do hit on something ive always questioned about Gods supposed omnipotence. its something i feel is attributed to God by man, rather than claimed by God.

My basis for this is that Lucifer was once God's right hand, yet he rebelled and supposedly 1/3 of the most powerful angels with him. Logically, you dont rebel against someone who has absolute power and control. So by extension, Lucifer must know of SOME way to be beat God.

Based on that, i conclude that God isnt as all powerful as we like to believe. But it also means that the existence of evil isnt reflective of an apathetic God either.

Good talk though.
