WHAT'S SO CHRISTIAN ON YOUR "CHRISTIAN" GROUP?

I was introduced to Christianity since I was a kid. Singing songs for God, telling people how good is The Lord, praying everyday, reading Bible, and going to church were how I practice my Christianity.

I thought it was just fine until I heard one of my friends in my campus' Christian community converted to Islam. We used to play guitar and sing for God together, so it really shocked me that he changed his faith. I tried to talk to him then it became a continuous debate over weeks and in the end I lost him.

The debate made me realized that I only had the heart to share God's words, but lack of deep understanding and knowledge on doctrines.

Years were passing by and here I am in kik. I joined many Christian group chats in the hope of learning more about Christian doctrines. I got some, but then they were dead. Active so-called Christian groups mostly just contain chatters with their casual convos, including selfies.

I was really thirsty and felt the need to fill my Christianity knowledge, yet not many Christians interested to talk further about theology. All is just in the surface, not digging deeper.

Deeper discussion on doctrines is treated as part of disuniting group. Instead of learning together, some just threw out love verses, as if exposing false doctrines or revealing Truth through deeper discussions is not showing love. Rebuking people biblically is considered as being rude. Seems like people don't need to be taught but pampered, prefer milk than solid food.

Christians need to understand their faith and reasons they believe it, as well as be able to articulate it. What will happen when people just wanna sing songs and talk about how much Jesus loves them, but don't study and dig into the scripture? Their faith will be based on a very surface level understanding of the Bible, and people are being destroyed over it. That's why we need to learn Bible exegesis and apologetics to build as well as defend our faith.

Let's be aware of this, start from Christian groups.
So, do you think your "Christian" group differs from secular groups? Is it useful and edifying? Does it upgrade your understanding on Bible and right doctrines?

Or, is it just a place to talk about your daily life and get attention from people?

Does it support you to bravely talk about Truth or shrivel your guts as people will judge you for not sugar-coating Truth and offending others?

Let Christians be Christians. All for the glory of God.

JESUS: FACT OR FICTION???

Some people don't believe in Jesus and some people do. Does He really exist or not? Did He really exist or not? I'd like to answer this question with my TESTIMONY:

I didn't want to believe Jesus was real majority of my life. I didn't believe in Him at all!!!! I did not buy into Jesus. I also didn't believe I was a sinner. And, I also thought, if Jesus did exist that He must have been this schizophrenic, homeless dude wandering around the streets seeing and hearing things.

I got into debates with followers of Jesus many times when I was a teenager and young adult because I didn't understand what they were talking about. I didn't understand what Jesus was about and I didn't believe He existed. I thought most people who followed and believed in Jesus were obnoxious and slightly insane; even a bit crazy. They were always saying that I was a sinner and that I was going to go to Hell. Oh yeah, I thought, that really sounds like something I want to buy into. Oh yeah, what a nice guy Jesus must be if He will send me to hell because I was born a sinner. I didn't believe I was born a sinner. I didn't understand how someone who didn't even know me could tell me I was born a "bad person." That's how I looked at it. I wasn't bad. I tried hard to be nice. There is nothing wrong with me. How dare you tell me I'm a sinner and I'm going to hell.

Fast forward to the year 2014. I was all of a sudden being attacked by red demons and saw what appeared to be the devil himself on stage at a "international spiritual center" I went to for over 3.5 years. After I saw a big red beast overshadowing the reverend on stage, I went running into the spiritual center's parking lot and asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. I asked Him to come help me. I told Him that I needed His help. He was the only one I had ever heard of who had defeated demons. I was desperate for help. I tried everything else and nothing worked. Nothing I tried or did or said got these red demons to leave me alone. I was living in hell. I was scared and running from place all the time trying to find safety and there was none to be had. Nowhere I went felt safe. I couldn't get away from these demons no matter what I did or tried. I needed someone to help me and not one single human had the answer.

It is some time soon after this cry for help that Jesus makes himself known to me. This happened during one of the hardest times in my life. I was homeless, living on the streets. I had nothing. I had no home to sleep in, no food to eat, and no water to drink. I, at one point, didn't have any clothes or shoes other than what I was wearing and there were a few times where I had no shoes at all.

I was standing in a church waiting for a free hot meal when I all of a sudden saw a picture of Jesus standing in a bread line with others on the wall. I had this overwhelming feeling that Jesus was with me all of a sudden. It was a revelation! It was an aha moment. It was a realization. It was an awareness. It was God telling me that Jesus was right there with me in the bread line.

Ever since that day, I have felt that He is with me. I felt His presence when I looked at Him in that picture; standing in that bread line. I think He has ALWAYS been with me, but I wasn't ready for Him. I think He had been waiting in the background for me. He was standing with me, but maybe 10 feet away from me watching me live my life. He was waiting for me to "get it." He was waiting for me to call on Him. He was waiting for me to cry out to Him. He was waiting for me to call on Him. He was patiently waiting for me to invite Him into my life. He was waiting for me to ask Him for help. He was waiting for me to realize that I needed Him.

It took me being homeless, on the streets, with absolutely nothing, for me to discover He was real.
I prayed every day when I was on the streets because I didn't know what else to do. I cried out for help every day to anyone who was out there to listen. I prayed for anyone to come help me. And guess who showed up? JESUS!!!!!!!!!!

CONCLUSION: JESUS IS REAL.
