Hope you all are well and blessed. I would like to hear every ones personal experience in their conversion or their search for salvation or what is drawing them towards Christianity. Which ever one fits your current situation. Just brief introductory comments. For example : I am a christian and have been for such time or I am not but I am searching for or how to become a Christian and why I am or I am not but I am very interested and want to see what it is about. To learn more and make a educated decision. Even if it is a I need guidance and a starting point or I am uneducated on the matter and have no Idea where or what im doing.
We have all been in one of these categories at the least. SO for introductory purposes just a brief statement with why you are here and who you are along with your current level of believe and or what you hope to receive or find in this group. I am here to answer any spiritual questions you have and to teach and help any and all further their journey into christianity with hopes to guide, teach, be a light into Christianity as i operate this skool.
So with that being said i will start with my self:
I am a Christian a Pastor and bible study teacher and student. I am currently working on my bachelors of divinity and then on to masters and hopefully doctorate. I currently run a home church and teach bible study as well as a few social media pages where i periodically post small and short Christian based post. I grew up in church fell away around a13-14 years of age, consider my self athiest for a few years then agnostic and then ended up getting saved and became a devout believer. I have practically studied scripture most of my life even though through some of those years i was using my studies to try and dispute the divinity of Christ. I believed he was a historical rabbi instead of a divine God. I just never succeeded outside of learning scripture to a point of conversion and gaining a well funded education on scripture . Instead of using it to try and prove it wrong in its self i ended up feeling a call or tug to accept it. My studies had back fired on me over a period of 15-20 years. I ended up seeing my faults instead of scriptures and could not prove or find evidence of its falicy.
So after all that time i ended up becoming a Christian and now use my experiences and past life as a teaching tool and my knowledge of scriptural study from a 30 year give or take research and wrongful studying in a portion of that time to try and lead others to Christ using the same methods i used to do the opposite previously. Today I can not be persuaded other wise and will not step away or back down. The fact is that there is a God in heaven, Christ was the messiah or is the messiah and there is only one true God and only one mediator between us and him and his name is Jesus Christ my Lord and savior.
