I found something good....PLEASE TRUST ME!!

I've had a few encounters with some friends this last while, and when Christianity was brought up, it seems like they were either turned off, or just confused about the issue. These aren't stupid people either, they're students like myself and I'm sure have a lot of insight on life, and experiences that I myself have not experienced. I don't look down on these people because they don't agree with what I believe as what I know was given from God, so I have no reason to be prideful in what God has given me. I would however just like to make this post to explain why I do what I do, and why I believe what I believe. I should share this in person, but....hahaha I'm kind of a pansy 'bout it, so if you wanna talk to me in person 'bout this, I would love to discuss it with you. Just let me know.

If you haven't figured it out already, I'm a Christian. I believe that God had sent his son Jesus Christ (who is actually God himself) to die in order to save SOME people despite what he knows about humans. What I mean by save, is that when we pass away, we get to go to heaven and spend eternity with God. Why we need to be saved is because we (mankind) are wicked people and is impossible to attain heaven by our wills alone. God gave us a way out, that if we accept what Jesus has done for us then we can spend eternity with Him. It makes no sense that the creator would let the things that He created slay Him, so that the createe would be able to get something they don't deserve. I believe in a God that has this incredible love for us.
I'm gonna be pretty blunt about this shit. I don't wanna water this down so I don't offend anybody.

What I believe is the truth. It's not a just a religion, it's the truth, and regardless whether anyone believes it or not, it's all true. I know this because God gave me this realization. When I talk to you guys 'bout going to church I'm hoping that you guys would have this same realization as myself. I'm doing this 'cause I found something good and I want you to have it too. I'm not trying to fill a stat sheet to show all my Christian friends of all the people I converted. I'm doing this 'cause I know you're good people and I don't wanna see you guys get f*** over when we die. God has even called us to save bad people, so it would break my heart to see a bunch of people that were assholes while on earth in heaven with me, while you guys are in hell. PLEASE just at least give it a chance!!! or talk to me about it.

You don't have to sing hymns in church if you think it's gay, you don't have to do anything, shit I'll buy you lunch if you come. I just really want you to take a listen to what the pastor has to say and hopefully will give you an insight on what's gonna save you. Christianity isn't about what you can or can't do. It's not a list of things to follow. It is to know Jesus Christ and have a relationship with him, it's to realize his ridiculous love for us and to accept it. God wants so bad for you to accept His love. It's free!

Yo, you guys know me, you see how I live my life. Am I so different, and a bad different, that it just totally turns you off of Christianity? I know there is a lot of sketchy stuff surrounding Christianity, and that's because Christians are still human, we mess up just like everyone else, and I'm sure God isn't too happy about it. You may even see some sketchy things in the Bible, the book we use that guides our lives, but once you have accepted Christ, He gives you a new understanding of what He's doing. And yes, because of our faith we do divide people, and God says in the Bible that Christians are going to make lots of enemies, and will be hated by the world but in the end it's all worth it. We divide, but we don't want to. I mean, if what we believe is true, I can't say I truly believe it if we compromise with the things of this world right...We're not trying to 'cause trouble, we're just following God.

If you choose to believe in another religion, I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna see you in heaven. God does not let us choose our own way to reach Him. Only His way. Any religion that depends on oneself to attain God is wrong. How can an imperfect people do anything to reach a perfect being by our wills alone. I know the truth because God has told me, and only God can show you guys like He has shown me, but you'll never know Him until you let Him tell you. It's worth it, trust me!
