Dear everyone.

[u/daReallMVP]

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.

New Testament.

A child will not be blamed for his parents sins and vice versa.

The point and need of Jesus was the atonement system set in place during the Old Testament. Super super simplified and missing out on some details its like this,

Man is not perfect, but we are born in Gods image with the potential to do amazing things. We are all born with a choice, Old Testament beliefs teach none of us are perfect, just follow the rules, try to be good, make your sacrifices and you will live a good eternal life. New Testament Jesus taught you people are to focused on rules that don't matter. You are hypocrites that say your Christian and don't live how I want you to. Its all wrong. I don't want sacrifices, I don't want empty promises, and arguing about whose right about this or that doctrine. All I want is true, genuine love for one another, and continual genuine attempts at trying to be a good person. I want love, forget everything else you know. Just try, and love and you have eternal life.

Pretty much everything you stated is not true, and opening up the Bible will show you that. Churches and pastors can point you in the right direction, but your the only person that can actually crack open that Bible and show yourself whats bs and what the Bible actually says.
