Saved by experience

[Holy tool]

Hi! My name is Joseph and I'm from Southwestern Missouri! Fortunately, this allows me to live a very sheltered life in reverence of our lord our God, though I feel compelled to break through that barrier and spread the good news to everyone that will listen. I go to the First Baptist Church of Seneca, where I assist in the indoctrination of the youths and serving supper of the elderly. When I'm not worshiping or reading the Bible, I read books by prominent atheists so as to get into their mind. The more I know about their false religion, the more effectively I can explain to children why it is a lie.

I came to know Jesus in a very interesting way. I was born thinking I was an atheist, but I knew that the proof for evolution was inadequate (the same for the big bang theory, tectonic plate theory, radiometric dating theory, stellar genesis theory, and heliocentrism) so I did some searching. I woke up one morning and a strange feeling filled my entire body. I passed out and woke up on the kitchen floor with my hand on an ad in the newspaper advertising a church event, decided to go, and that's when I found out that God was the only explanation.

Since then, I've been trying to assist others to experiences similar events and decide for themselves what is more likely, hopefully in favor of the option leading to eternal life.

Greetings Joseph,

it sounds like you are an asset to your church with ministering to the children.

Matthew 19:14 (King James Version)
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Absolutely. They are the next generation, and if they don't learn the truth while they're young, they might be sucked into the lies of the public school system. I feel wonderful knowing that I can have a positive impact on their lives.

Glory! What a wonderful and moving testimony, Joseph. You know, I have heard of people having the same sort of Godly experience as you, except the LORD overpowers them to such an extent that when they wake up they are swimming in a pool of piddle, having lost bladder control. If this was your experience also, there is no need to feel embarrassed, dear. At least you had some newspaper handy! The LORD provides, after all.

Hi Joey, welcome to God's Favorite Forum(c) where the unsaved are unwanted.

So refreshing to have a person come here who is open and like minded. Makes me want to sit around, my hands raised up high, singing Christian hymens.
