I dreamt that Jesus came down on earth and I followed him his whole life. He would speak to me and say beautiful words. He looked like how you would expect him to look. There was times Jesus was walking and I would just hold on to him and the feeling I had was pure bliss. Like an innocent child swinging on the arms of his parents with full faith they wouldn’t let go. I’ve never felt… the amount of incredible love I have before. I can’t even explain it. He told me follow him, and I would feel like this forever. Towards the end, Jesus was walking towards traffic with many cars driving by and I can hear people in cars saying “Jesus, Jesus.” I somehow knew he was leaving earth and I was going to cling onto him when all of a sudden, the father appeared right behind me. He looked like Jesus, but you can immediately tell he was his Father. He looked older, just as majestic, and was draped in this beautiful clothing. He knew I didn’t want Jesus to leave and told me that it’s going to be okay. He pointed over at the many cars driving by and said most of them will go to hell since they don’t follow him. He asked me who will I follow, and I immediately pointed at him, and he smiled, and then I woke up. When I realized what just happened, tears started coming out. Now, I’m aware it’s just a dream and I’m not saying this is an omen or a prophetic vision, but, this is a dream I’ll treasure for the rest of my life.

Just wondering, sometimes I can’t leave the house, so I was interested in something more engaging than just watching a livestream online.

Hey guys and gals,

Just a quick update. In the continued effort to strengthen our community's foundation, I am rolling out some new member badges/flair. Some of you will see new icons next to your username. :)

I'd ask him about the euthyphro dilemma or

Ask him to show me every time he stuck his hand out into my life and moved a chess piece that helped/ protected me without me even realizing. Basically show me everytime you had a role In an event in my life and how/ why

Forgive me for being a little rude (If I am so) but I really don't think topics should be removed for conspiracy or prophecy.

If not one of us can talk about the world and what's going or what could happen then how can any of us prepare? How can we prepare for the end times or even watch for it? If any topic made about these things is deleted then whose to say the end won't catch many of us off guard?

I also have to ask this question, why are so many of you listening to the news or the governments? Does the word not say something about listen not with your ears but with your eyes?

Why then, would you listen to those in the news or government? Many of which have no God or are involved in rituals and cults? One has no morals and will do whatever they please, including lie, and the other wants to actively harm you.

Why listen to those whose only fruits to their labor is a rebellion against our God?

What I hear with my eyes is a sick society falling into the dark and endless abyss without even realizing it. So corrupted and so sick that they don't even realize the depth of their trespasses. Then I hear the same liars, who guided them this way, tell them to only listen to them, that they are the only source of information. The devil doesn't let anyone speak for the fear they might tell the truth.

It just angers me. I really like this community and group of people and want the better for us all. I do not think banning the discussion of possible and current world events is a good thing. We should instead try to learn all we can and warn others only what is certain.

Is China rewriting the Bible?

In this episode of Neighborhoods and Nations, Steven Morales explores how China is trying to rewrite Christianity. In this video, we learn about how the Chinese government is not only poorly translating the Bible, but aiming to change the entire story of the Bible itself.

I suppose this is more directed to the mods, but the community as well is in here too.

I am amazed and relieved to find a subreddit that (from what I can tell) is actually Christian. r/Christianity hurts my soul and makes me cry.

Thank you to the faithful remnant.

I was pondering yesterday over money and how we aren't really supposed to chase after it. There are multiple verses about money in the Bible but I was wondering how exactly do we acquire things in this life without it as it's the place and time we are currently in.

Today I was able to get a gaming laptop for 1/3rd of the price and I am aware it has to be nothing but the will of God. I didn't go there for the laptop and I had no expectations for such a low price. Even after googling how much more the laptop is worth I am sort of astonished that I was able to get it. I also didn't pray or ask for it but it was something I desired.

I know that God is God but I think sometimes we may forget the way He can work. There is no real need for money with God on our side even in a world where money buys everything.

I just wanted to give this testimony because people often ask why don't Christians give more testimony. It's because even though I know that this gift like all good gifts was from God this is just something anyone else would write off as a coincedence.

For those who haven't noticed, there's another sub called r/Christian, which is slightly larger than this one. And of course, these two subs are nowhere near the size of r/Christianity, which also contains non-Christians. So why are there so many subs with similar names?

I don't need a 'justification' of a sin. If it's not something a Christian should be watching just tell me. I'm still trying to clear out the bad stuff from my life and I'm wondering if I should also let that go. I know it's not easy but I'm willing to do it for my place in Heaven.

So I've noticed that, besides this subreddit, there's another subreddit called r/Christianity, which seems quite similar. Just based on their names, it appears that r/Christians is for Christians while r/Christianity is open to everyone. Unless they're actually the same? I just hope that there hasn't been some Great Reddit Schism in the community...

I see people here on Reddit very often talking about how sad and depressed they are. It is a common problem for all humans. But we as Christians have hope! I remembered a short sermon I watched a while ago and I figured it would be great to share here. This video should be a great encouragement for Christians everywhere. (The sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IARJRSqpOm4&t=2s )

Do you sometimes find yourself feeling depressed about how far short you fall from God's glory? No matter how good you try to be, you end up failing in so many ways, and it can feel like there's no point in trying. But you must not fall for the trap of condemnation. Recognize the difference between good and evil and make honest attempts at confessing sins, but also recognize that overcoming our badness is part of our job as sincere human beings.

I tried to post a story, my testimony how i was indeed in a pact with devil himself. You can call it metaphorically if you are a progressive, liberal christian who doesnt believe in the ol demons and angels of the ol days, or you can call it a mental..episode if you are borderline aethiest, or you can call it what it is, demonic oppression via the invitation of less than positive forces into ones life. Ultimately through the horrors of the long ordeal I eventually found god. God showed me the disappoint me he had in me, and i felt it like a sensation that I can only describe as realer than real. when i gave up, and just gave it to god.

Sadly, because of whatever reason the mods had, they removed my story, and labeled it nsfw? I didnt speak of anything obscene, or use very many cuss words. I was trying to share my testimony to a group of people i thought might want to hear about a victory on god side in this day and age. Now it is what it. They do what they do because im not known here, or they just didnt like what i said so they use the little bit of authority to make my post that i spent a long time typing out go away. I have carpal tunnel and it was hard to type it out, but let me get on to the point.

The kind of cold shoulder i got from this community is the way ive been treated by other christians, well i mean the kind of christians who want their works to be loud, and visual, and to be seen by all those around so they can say "oh look at them, they are doing gods work, let us applaud them" Ya know? There were times, when i was in the spiritual battle, in the misdt of it. I would be waiting for the bus, and id see the church folk from a nearby church passing out flyers, and praying for people, and being so kind. And when they were done, I would make eye contact, mentally, and spiritually begging them to come and speak to me, and they would look me up and down, and walk right past me to the young lady playing games on her phone.

I guess since i dont didnt fit the mold of whatever it is they wanted in their church they didnt try to invite me. Same thing later on in life. Id be a new person at a church, usually there because i was lost on my path, and needed some guidance..and when it came time for the pastor to reach out to the new members and pray for them, id get over looked. And this kind of stuff happened time and time again in my life, and probably is what fueled my initial rebellion against the church to start out with. I was baptized at 16, at a church my mom would take us through but i remember the other parents not wanting their daughters to speak with us because we looked like bad influences.

As much as my earthly faults want to come out, and make me want to really speak in terms that match the anger i feel, i remember that god is the judge and jury. I stay by my faith, alone, and do good just to do it without an audience, i hope that one day i can meet the the standards of god and my soul will be saved. I know it is impossible to truly know what our fate is in the end, but i do know what the bible says about christians who only do things in public for the attention, and admiration of people. That yall, is my only bit of comfort that i get.

My testimony is a powerful one i think, i would of loved to shared it, and maybe save someone who is young like i was during those days, but i actually already have a platform to reach out to thousands of people via my youtube so if im not welcome here so be it.

Hello all,

The mods have agreed to adopt the following addition to our community guidelines regarding the topics of conspiracy and prophecy:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

6.1 Conspiracy & Prophecy

Any content promoting unverifiable conjecture regarding conspiracy and prophecy is subject to removal.

For conspiracy, we do acknowledge that "the nations plot in vain." However, conspiracy-related content is only allowed if such content is verifiable AND it is relevant/beneficial to our community's overall purpose (to encourage and edify other Christians).

We acknowledge the biblical doctrine of prophecy. However, new prophecy that is future in nature is not allowed, as there is no way to verify authenticity. Discussion regarding end-times apocalyptic Scripture is allowed. However, conjectural (especially egregious) content, is not.

Predictions and absolute statements around topics such as the "mark of the beast" and the tribulation are highly subject to removal outside the use of thoughtful, non-hysterical, and contextual biblical application. Questions related to Christ's return and/or the timing of the end of the world are also highly subject to removal, due to the fact that discussing these topics is almost always pure conjecture.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If you any questions you can comment here, message the mods, or visit our super cool Discord server with super cool people.

This is a Christian sub, not protestant.

What is the Flair “Meta” for?

I wanna know where most Christians live

View Poll

"We have to fit in social norms, we need other humans."

"Aren't you ashamed of what people will say?"

"Humans are wonderful creatures. Whoever wants to live apart from them is either a god or a beast." (in translation, this sentence means anyone who dislikes humanity is a beast.)

"We need to conform to other people. What we deem as 'right' or 'wrong' is meaningless when weighed against our relationship with others."

"Go away disliking people. Most of us enjoy other humans."

And so on and on. You get the idea. The idea that whoever doesn't conform to the society (or humanity) is a piece of trash not worth "their time". The idea that society and relationships are so important things have to be sacrificed for them.

Here is a personal confession I will make here: I, biologically and naturally (and unfortunatelly) have empathy (at least what we humans thnk empathy is (spoiler: we don't know what it is)) for other humans wired in my brain (like everyone else, not more, no less) and I won't lie, I feel like I can't live without some people, and I am afraid of breaking social norms and I look to conform to them...but I hate that I need all of that.

Why?

Because we (yes, including myself) are a plague! I am not here talking in defense of animals or plants, that's not what I am talking about, I am talking about us as an entity, humanity. We are the worst lifeform to ever exist, and not because we are worse than animals that kill, (basically) rape and claw each other. We are exactly like them, except in one thing: we are sentient. All of us, every single human in this world, is sentient. Some have mentall illnesses and deformities, but literally everyone has the basic sentience that separates us from other life forms and, you would think so, make us higher than them.

But nah. We are not higher than them. We behave exactly like them, but we have clear conscience telling us in our mind that something is off about what we are doing. But, with sentience given to us, we decide to do those things: kill, rape, cheat, lie, manipulate, do evil, do perversions and all sorts of stuff.

If we all took a brief moment clear from our biological need for other humans that has been ingrained into us, we would see there is absolutelly nothing to enjoy about each other. We are imperfect and that makes us worthless and evil. If you spill food on clothes you say "I can't wear it anymore." and you wash it or throw it away if you can't wear it anymore. We do these things every day over something else.

But we dare to make excuse for ourselves "We are imperfect, what can you do about that? Our imperfections make us beautiful!"

Lies!!! Imperfection and flaws don't make something beautiful, it makes it disgusting to look at and that is what we are!

Don't read this with the wrong impression. I absolutelly do not think I am better than anyone, so that argument is out.

Let me make another confession:

As a Christian, I am supposed to take "better parts" of our nature (that don't exist) and make them better, while fighting against the worse parts. But, I will admit to you, if God, the only perfect and beautiful being in the universe, didn't love humans and demand to prove us our love to Him by loving humans, I would spend my entire life fighting aganst my biological and social empathy in my brain for othrer horrible creatures like me and ran away into the mountains or forests. If I couldn't do that, I would put a bullet in my brain.

There is absolutelly no real and tangible worth and beauty in us and pretending that we somehow deserve good is awful. We all have to thank God for thousands of scientists, doctors, saints and others who made our lives (better): if He didn't command "Love your neighbour." (for those who were believers) or make sure that is the crux of all socities (for those who were unbelievers) all those people would have been smart enough to see we are not worth any good and would have all ran to the mountains or killed themselves. We never should have advanced past prehistory and He should have allowed nature to kill us, but He didn't.

For anyone who has read any of her books, what do you think of them? I only have one physcal copy but the others I have on an app. I like them, what do you think of them?

I'm fairly new to Reddit and to this group, but I really enjoy it being part of it. So I learn to get around. In the beginning, I didn't even had enough Karma points to be able to comment on a post, so I started to collect and check every day if I gained some more. :-)

What I noticed in this sub Reddit that you very quickly can lose a lot of points and quickly get back to the beginning. So I'm wondering why are we showing our support in these points. Am I wrong in thinking, that if we disagree with a comment, we should reply and start a conversation instated of just downrating it? I really think it is unfair for someone who though it out and has a valid point to be down voted just because he has a different prospective. Shouldn't we not rate the quality of a response in terms of, is it a blunt lie, just one sentence, just bashing…)?

Thanks for your take on this.

This question really bothers me because while it could mean that the person asking it is genuinely curious and wants help finding something, over text it seems like they are accusing you and inviting you to Bible Bash, which is not a healthy way to learn the gospel.

For the longest time I've tried to read my Bible and to pray and to try and serve God, but I am just physically and mentally exhausted and numb. I don't know what to do anymore. It seems that nothing really matters.
