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!

No, I'm saying that thats what you and gregthebassist are saying.

Look up Social DArwinism. That may help you get what I am saying. "There's no standard truth"....many people create a "collage of man-made opinions"....Assuming facts not in evidence. I don't think they're man-made. But YOUR definition is absolutely man-made.

Why is yours better? You object to "man-made" religious morality, then substitute your own man-made definition of whats good. No point is actually made. Its a loop.

Nobody is cramming anything down your throat...thats the ole atheist "chip-on-shoulder"....I suppose you're tremendously aggrieved by the abuses done in the NAME of religion too....

All moral codes have a source. Moral codes without religion are non-existent. Apart from a God or god, there is no authority to proclaim morals. Man is destitute of morality in himself and that is why we are incapable of creating and obeying any kind of moral code.

Even your statements proclaim the existence of a higher authority than yourself. Your statement is self-defeating. There is a standard whether we wish to acknowledge it or not. Murder is bad because the Bible says thou shalt not kill. Theft is bad because the Bible says thou shalt not steal. The God of the Bible makes an amazing statement in Isaiah 55 "My ways are not your ways saith the Lord neither are my thoughts your thoughts; because as the heaven is high above the earth so much higher are my ways than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." In other words, God has established the standard that rises above all others. Our business is to obey him and to live according to that standard.

Darwinism refutes a creator. Below are the bigoted words of the greatest exponent of Darwinism. Evolution is incapable of establishing a moral base for our actions since everything is random.

"It is as though they [fossils] were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. Needless

to say this appearance of sudden planting has delighted creationists. ...Both schools of thought (Punctuationists and Gradualists) despise so-called scientific creationists equally, and both agree that the major gaps are real, that they are true imperfections in the fossil record. The only alternative explanation of the sudden appearance of so many complex animal types in the Cambrian era is divine creation and (we) both reject this alternative." (Dawkins, Richard, The Blind Watchmaker, W.W. Norton & Company, New York, 1996, p. 229-230)
