But I was also thankful and happy because I understood why Jesus died on the cross

@TheSynical1 so based on yourself but not based on the merits of the contents of the book?
Well either way Synical, I pray that God will keep you to the right path, and help you in your time of need.
It was the best feeling I probably ever felt and I haven't felt it since I was 19
Just an unexplainable feeling

@ARCADEIUS i'm so glad for you, man.
Note: Being that dirt poor and then spending the next four years going to expensive delicious restaurants only having to spend the next three years not being able to do that anymore really does something.
@isoboto thank you I know he was saving me and I never went looking for him
Like dude, I got spoiled in Dubai
alot
After that I started reading the Bible like a straight-up Holy Roller
But I was still young and I let what I seen get the best of me
> Just an unexplainable feeling
@ARCADEIUS yeah, i figured. I asked all christians this and they all gave me a different explanation. But usually it's "You will know when it comes to you" explanation
> Well either way Synical, I pray that God will keep you to the right path, and help you in your time of need.
@Book
Hahaha. My path is the right path for me. I don’t need God because I already have Him. That seems as though you view my stance with some sort of pity, and that’s unnecessary.
Man I was literally in the streets fist fighting with people over Jesus
What?
No
But in time I understood that that was wrong also
as a Christian it is my job to pray, it doesn't matter if you don't need it lol
But it was like I'm trying to tell people what I seen in people with tell me it's not real and you know

@Book absolutely. i think living through poverty ingrained something in you -- a habit you couldn't get rid of and this imminent feeling of things are not forever
But I got older little bit wiser and I started doing it a different way more polite
19 years old I was still doing bad stuff
> as a Christian it is my job to pray, it doesn't matter if you don't need it lol
@Book
I mean fair enough, but those prayers could be spent on someone who need them more. I appreciate the sentiment though, and may you be blessed as well, but don’t fret over me 😉

@TheSynical1 sorry I’m not trying to be argumentative. I think you should spend some time reading the contents of the Bible and see for yourself if there really is room for interpretation in the different books. There are some things I cannot comprehend and some thing I think can be interpreted differently. But I don’t think it’s fair to simply say each persons truth is their own. There is right and wrong black and white. It’s not relative. It is absolute.
I'm 34 years old now

@TheSynical1 Everyone needs prayers man
The thing is I experienced demonic attack when I was a young kid also
My mom always told me it was a dream but I would always tell her it's not a dream

@isoboto I wasn't that bad don't get me wrong, there were plenty of people worse. But it was pretty bad.. and when you're going to REAL 5 star restuarants next year and then to never be able to do that kind of again...makes it hard to revert to a normal lifestyle.
> But it was like I'm trying to tell people what I seen in people with tell me it's not real and you know
@ARCADEIUS Yeah, i get you. You shouldn't be fist-fighting over Jesus, buddy, but I get the part when people are dismissive of religions because science is the more logical choice even though there are many unknown things
It wasn't until we moved down the street somebody else moved in our old house he drew a picture of a little boy in a basement surrounded by the same exact three demons that I seen when I was a kid
I've gotten somewhat used to it though, cause I don't need those things to be happy
Ok guys I gotta leave now. Hope to see you all here later on sometime. Keep praying for our nation our president and for truth
I was with my best friend when he showed us this picture at the time he's actually the one who came and got me and said you have to see this picture
He was like it reminded me of what you said
When I seen it I was 13 I believe and I was like dude that's me how did you draw that dude so perfectly in every way
That should have probably been my first clue that this is all real but I was a stupid kid and I took advantage of what I seen and told people I was the son of the devil

@Book my dad's family was pretty decent prior to VC's coming in and my grandfather's killing. his family lost everything. i truly think the abrupt changes in status also scarred people, yeah.
infact, I hate being near one
