Ex-Satanist seeks help and redemption! - Page 5

James · 04-02-2007, 01:33 AM

I had heard an account of something that happened to a man in his mothers basement once.

He had just come from church, or some sort of christian presentation. Had never really heard anything about Jesus Christ. Was a partying frat boy, drinking and drugging, chasing women and the like.

Said Jesus appeared to him, and said this..."I love you, you are forgiven"

He has never been the same since. It is so good to know we are all forgiven, and are all truly loved. :-)

Exactly what kind of Satanism did you ascribe to? I've heard of some self-described "non-theistic Satanists" which is a title that essentially amounts to "Aggressively hedonistic anarchist who just doesn't like religion."

Thsi is a very old thread.

Wow, WasLost, I had never seen this thread before.

God is love

God's love is so wide. It reaches anyone in any religion, culture, with all their weirdness. Jesus comes to you as whatever you need Him to. If you're a hippy, He'll come and relate to you as if He was a hippy. If you're a businessman He'll come relate to you as though He is a business man.

God's love is so long. It reaches into eternity each way. Before you were born to after you die. It's always there, never fear of losing it.

God's love is so deep. It reaches down into the deepest possible pits of the filth and sin in human nature. No pit is too deep for the love of God to reach you just the same.

God's love is so high. It keeps you where your enemies will never reach you.

May God show your heart and give you the mind to understand more - the infinite width, length, depth, and height of His love.

Once you learn to drink of Him, it'll be all you want. He will separate you completely from the drunkenness and pleasures of the flesh, and you'll only thirst for more of Him.

Matthew 10:28

“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

His yoke is light. No need to struggle keep seeking Him, studying His word, listening to sermons and messages, and trusting Him, waiting patiently.

I'm not making any assumptions, this thread is old, just thought I'd add to it since it's been revived.

Sorry, I didn't mean to raise this thread from the dead. I was poking through the online list and saw a guest reading this. Maybe it gets google hits or something.

Waslost,

I personally think the best place for you to begin reading is the New Testament Gospel of John.

If you have questions, just ask. You are correct that translations don't always come across with an accurate meaning.

I've learned that the Bible is consistent and perceived inconsistencies are usually the fault of a poorly translated word, or lack of understanding the culture.

Welcome to the family!
