So what'd you give up to become a Christian. Sin, misery and deptression, according to Joyce Meyer. You have the freedom not to be angry all the time, the freedom to not worry all the time. He who the Son has freed is free indeed.

I gave up free will, feeling good, self respect, good judgment, kindness to others....


These are just few of the things I gave up to be a Christian. The list could really go on.

Me too, and it really had nothing at all to do with what I wanted to do. If anything I'm more saintly now than when I was a Christian. smokin

The only reason I gave it up is because I simply came to the realization that it isn't true. :wink:

It also required that I renounce non-Christians as rejecting God, and I couldn’t handle that crap. ohwell

They didn't reject God, they just haven't accepted him yet. Give 'em time.

Christ gave up all...on the cross. (The very least I can do is obey the Gospel of Christ.)And live in obedience to the Word of God.---But, i am just an old truck driver--Do not take my words for meaning much. I will tell all PLEASE, do read the Bible for yourself....and get understanding. (Much comfort in the Word of God.)

You think a cross is bad try lightning strike

Asclepius' powers were not appreciated by all, and his ability to revive the dead soon drew the ire of Zeus, who struck him down with a thunderbolt. According to some, Zeus was angered, specifically, by Asclepius' acceptance of money in exchange for resurrection.

So my god Asclepius is just making sure I will have an after life and then the God of all says that he must return back to him.

Just make sure you know your gods.

Find the light in the lightning

Cool beans. Only one that I know of was crucified on a cross for me, though. No lightning around him that I knew of.

Becoming a Christian does not mean that your sin nature has miraculously vanished.Life is a struggle until you are fertilizer but at least you are not alone in dealing with it.

Actually it is more like your sin nature miraculously appears. Things that Christians call a sin, working on the sabbath, lust,loving someone of the same sex, they are not sins to non-believers. You do not need to walk around with the fruit eaters sin over your head.
