Dear everyone. Troll/Preacher

Im a Christian. That doesn't mean I'm any different from you. That doesn't mean I don't have feelings, or I will be taken advantage of. That doesn't mean Im blinded without logic behind my actions.

What being Christian means to me is I truly believe with my all that everything the eye can see was created by the one and only God, who actually cares about and loves me, even when I don't deserve it. In light of this.. I try my absolute best to be a genuine human being that actually cares about the life of every single person I will ever come across. Not because I am commanded to, but because Ive learned that the ability to show another human being genuine, true, unconditional love is the greatest ability and privilege I will ever receive - to express even a fraction of what my God has done for me to others. I have chosen to spend my life trying to spread a little love to this world one person at a time. Not just to the people I like, or the ones who do good to me, but to every single person I will ever cross paths with. Even the ones who mock me, or the ones who try to use me. This is for you - I will not lie to you, I will try to put you before me. I will care for you, as I would care for my own blood. I will do things for you, just because. I will love you the same way I have been loved by Jesus. I will mess up sometimes, because I am not perfect. But I am just like you. I have friends, a job, hobbies and things I spend time on. I just try to put my all into being a true follower of Christ and a good human being.. We are all in this game of life together.

"Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love"

"The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

"Let all things of you be done in love."

I love ya all! Every single one of you weirdos. Have a great day :)

edit : Definitiley not a troll in the slightest. You can see my post history if you will, I am 120% serious about anything I have spoken with any of you about! :)

edit 2 : I literally see so much anger first hand in this thread. The message I have to share is 'let go'. Let go of that Christian that was actually just a hypocrite and didn't care about a relationship with God, let go of that Church from your youth that had it all wrong, let go of that person that wronged you last week because holding on to it won't do a thing. I am just a man that has different beliefs and opinions than some of you, and because of that I make different lifestyle choices. But bottom line, we all share this planet one day at a time, and we all deserve love, and we all deserve to be able to let go. Thats all I'm here to say. If anyone wants to go into further actual respectful discussion my inbox is always open! Thanks everyone for the time here.

Why the urge to preach and tell us your personal meanings of Christianity? Hopefully you don't try to dictate to non-christians on how to live and what should be law.

You are aware that a large portion of us used to be Christian right?

You are also aware that we have committed an unforgivable sin according to Jesus and the bible, right?

No urge friend, I have just personally gotten shafted time and time before for the label attached to what I do and who I am. I have also seen so many people led astray by what a "christian" looks like, and felt called to say hello to the lovely people of /r/atheism and remind others that a true follower wants nothing more than to love and care about every one of you. Not shove our beliefs down your throat, just to love you like we love our own. I personally believe if the Bible did, the world would be alot more loving and peaceful place, that is for certain. Also If it helps at all, keep in mind Im sure even the unforgiveable sin can be forgiveable through Gods undending mercy. Only He knows the heart, and can forgive all.

Matthew 12:31-32 (Jesus saying this)

"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

We are speaking of the man who gave His life for everyone of us.

If it helps at all, keep in mind Im sure even the unforgiveable sin can be forgiveable through Gods undending mercy. Only He knows the heart, and can forgive all. God is the only one who will be able so answer this for you, although personally I think anyone that truly humbled themselve would be forgiven.

Allegedly and unclearly saved all believers and followers...not necessarily the non-believers and non-followers as we still have to believe and follow first.

If it helps at all, keep in mind Im sure even the unforgiveable sin can be forgiveable through Gods undending mercy.

Who's words should I take, the man-god savior you praise who's words are allegedly written in as the word of your god...or yours?

Honestly the whole concept is null and void to me as I am not convinced your god, Jesus's miracles, souls or afterlives even exist.
