That's a really nice post, from darkness to light.
Ive had an encounter with Jesus when I was in a bad place and I was enveloped in an amazing love that made me feel that everything is in God's hands.
The world can make you forget that love and bring you into the drama of what we're fighting against but sometimes we need to step back and focus on God again.
🙏
I believe now, more than ever we really need to focus on God.
Reminds me of the Muslim terrorist who was in jail and visited by Jesus. He renounced Islam and became a Christian. Short 3 minute clip of his testimony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcXGQX-LPPM
Inspiring!
Powerful!
Is that terrorist dead now, having been killed by his family to restore their honor?
Apostasy has meaning to Muslims. Very bad.
They go fucking nuts if someone leaves their death cult. They then must kill that person to restore the family's honor, that's why it's so difficult for saracen women to date in the modern sense.
That was incredible. Thanks for sharing
A good reminder for all of us when it comes time for us to help the normies.
A reminder for how we should be always. Jesus was very aggressive towards those that supposedly followed God whereas with sinners and the lost He was always merciful and empathetic.
I have seen more damage done from alleged believers who pick doctrine over love and compassion that I have from secularists just trying to live their lives.
It's not Christianity against the world, it has always been Good versus Evil and both come in many many forms.
Christianity is pure, subtle evil. Don't let the cult fool you.
It is a good story and he's on the right track. However he is focusing on God's grace and unconditional love without true wisdom and understanding. It is true that God loves us unconditionally however that doesn't mean we can continue to intentionally walk in sin and expect to be saved by grace alone. It sounds like he is still a practicing homosexual and God's word is clear on that subject and it being a sin of sexual immorality. Christ demands that we bury the old self, which was covered in sin, and start walking with him as a new creation, covered in his purifying blood. That doesn't mean we will never sin just that we actively try and avoid sinning and when we do slip up and sin we repent and ask forgiveness immediately. As a practicing homosexual this man would be walking in sin while claiming that God doesn't mind because of grace and his unconditional love. This is false and a snare of the devil that traps many.
Lord I pray that you would revel your truth to him, that he would turn from his sin of homosexuality, and come to true repentance before you and receive the gift of salvation and the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen!
🙏🏻
Interesting
The abilities he speaks of are gifts from God. Satan can not create, only destroy. It's why he resents us so much, we can not only reproduce we can also heal, build, write, draw, create, sow, nourish..
And not only that..we are limitless, made in God's image, while he is already doomed. You can understand why Satan loathes us.
In my world, General Butt Naked Joshua Blahyi converted him!
The "Church of Satan" just panders to whatever the leftwingers want at any given time.
He mentions near the end the thousands and thousands of applicants to the Satanic church stated they were hurt by Christians and thus hate god. He is very clear that he doesn't believe in any religions, including Christianity, and that the message and experience of Christ and God do not come from a book, church or religion. Something to think about if you consider yourself a member of the religion of Christianity.
?
He's saying that members of organized Christian religions are pushing people to the Satanic church because they are being harsh, mean spirited, and conditional in their acceptance criteria. He believes Jesus will accept and love you unconditionally and so should the organized religions. Something to consider.
Jesus will love you unconditionally but he won't accept you unconditionally.
Jesus is very clear on this in scripture. He says the path to heaven is a narrow one few will enter in.
There are actual "Christians" who deny the existence of hell because 'Jesus loves me too much for that bro' yeah sorry, no. You actually need to follow His teachings in order for Him to accept you. He loves you no matter what.
Churches are their own worst enemy half the time but the idea that you don't need to do anything different to be saved and Christian contradicts scripture.
The scriptures are part of the Bible which is a product of the religion. That's the whole point. It seems he's saying from his experiences with Jesus, what's written in the scriptures isn't completely true; that there is no "hell" to fear, etc. That Jesus will both love and accept you unconditionally. I've also heard this same type of story from both religious and non-religious people that claimed to have met or experienced god/jesus in near death experiences.
This is his story, not mine. I'm not religious and based on my research, this is more believable to me than scriptures.
The scriptures were written by dozens of different people in different times and places. They predate the Bible, which is simply a compilation of the scriptures.
If the scriptures aren't true, as they the most comprehensive account of Jesus's life (especially Luke's gospel), there's no reason to believe Jesus did anything miraculous at all.
That's what faith is all about, isn't it? You need to choose to believe or not. I believe those scriptures have kernels of truth in them, but they supposedly were written down from memories passed over generations, then translated and re-translated many times. The stories of what are supposed to be the same event are told quite differently in the books. I personally put more stock into people's personal accounts that are living today vs. uncertain words we're told were written thousands of years ago. But that's just my opinion, you believe what you think is true, I'm not trying to tell anyone what to believe.
That's powerful stuff! I'll admit I find those kind of people objectionable. But I've felt lately that God has been telling/reminding me they're not the enemy, just captives. Thank you for this, OP
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
WHAT!?!? LOVING YOUR ENEMIES ACTUALLY WORKS!!??!?! NOOOOOOO!!!!! I MUST BE ALLOWED TO HOLD THEM IN CONTEMPT SO I CAN FEEL BETTER AND SUPERIOR ABOUT MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/s
You know who you are whom that applies to. I was one of you once. Never again. The thing about Jesus is if you read Him for YOURSELF and you try to follow HIS declarations not Paul's- in fact, do yourself a favor and either ignore Paul completely or remind yourself his teachings are an OPINION not LAW. Jesus proves Himself through His actions and no I don't mean the parlor tricks and magick I mean the things He more or less commanded. The loving your enemies, treating others the way you want to be treated, never succumbing to anger and outrage, rather reminding yourself the He believes in you too and though we fail every day, even just trying to be more like Him is better than being a shithead.
Your comments about paul reveal a lot. You are more of a humanist than a Christian. "God loved Jacob and hated Essau." God does not love everybody the way you think he does. I love my enemies. But I hate the enemies of God. There is a difference.
kek. this makes me think of a debate my fiancée and i always have re: simulation theory. we both agree it’s pseudo-intellectual drivel, but i see it as a [small] step in the right direction as it necessitates a teleological understanding of the world.
she sees it as simply another new-age “woo woo” spiritual pitfall for those who fancy themselves learned.
David Bowie must have been deep in it, as well, to get to where he did. Nevertheless, he gives us a clue to their inner workings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wL9NUZRZ4I This video really verifies all these things we have since learned about them. Note the lines: "They know God exists because the devil told them so"
"First they give you everything that you want. Then they take back everything that you have"
At the time seeing the prostitute suffer Stigmata didn't make sense at all but now, when we have seen all this pedo stuff, it makes total sense. Bowie knew all the time & I do think he was trying to give us a peek
Very moving testimony. Thank you for sharing.
For similar, check out the "I Found The Truth" YouTube channel with testimonies of Muslims who became Christians.

Praise the Lord.
However, I found the part about him having signed a nondisclosure agreement interesting.
So a Fox dresses up like a sheep and no-one questions it. Bravo.
I call BULL SHIT on this because it says nothing about the word of God which is necessary for repentance. It's all about feelings. The way she hugged me. No I don't buy it. The Muslims being visited by Jesus is BULL SHIT too. They may be having an experience but it is not Jesus.
Who are you to say someone's private revelation is not true? These revelations are bringing thousands to God
Romans 10:17 faith commeth by hearing the word of God. It's not me saying it it's the bible saying it. What are these revelations? Could be nothing more than a fad. What is the result? Are they being beheaded for turning their backs on Allah? Show me where that is happening and I might change my mind. It's also a technique of infiltration. More likely the case.
