Who am I but a sinner made righteous.
Yes, I sin...
The only reason I am saved is because of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for my life.
Yes, I have talked about hell fire and death because they are very real in basis to the truth.
I am not here to slam people or to condemn.
When I talked about teen pregnancy, I was merely highlighting that people make mistakes because they did not fully consider the consequences at the time.
When I spoke on homosexual marriage, it was merely saying that it is contrary to the bible and is not right.
So many things exist that I mentioned...
Why do I know how bad different things are.
Well, one wise man told me to learn from other people's mistakes.
I am a man just like you.
I have sinned so many times before, and I am not perfect.
However, the truth that I am bringing in God's word is holy and righteous.
Look not to man, but to Christ.
Yes, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, and can defend the position.
I believe that if a man has a truck coming towards them, and you do nothing to move that man out of the way, then you are guilty of his blood.
However, if you told the man out of love, then who's fault is it that they had been killed and died.
So many people worry about political correctness, but what do you know to be true?
What feels natural, and what feels unnatural?
These things would not be an issue if people understood.
A person I was talking to about God had asked me if I was going to tell him that him being drunk was wrong because he was drunk.
I told him, "I am telling you about Christ's love. I am not addressing what you are doing because you know the answer to that question."
He said, "What do you mean?"
I said, "If you thought it was right, then there would not have been a question on your mind or a search for approval as whether it was or wasn't."
The word of God judges.
I simply point out what it says.
I have made my mistakes before, so I am not here to say I am perfect, but I have confessed mine to God and repented.
I pray and trust that God will take care of my sins.
In fact, the reason I trust God is because I know that He is real, and I can't get into heaven on my own.
So where does your faith sit.
If you are rested upon getting into heaven for being good, then how can you prove to God, the judge that you were good if He demands clear righteousness.
The law is a schoolmaster to teach you that you can't make it to heaven without God's help.
I am telling people my messages out of love so that people come to Christ and may not ever go to Hell.
I have no hate for anyone, I simply don't want anyone to go to Hell for ignorance or any other reason.
Please take heed to my words and trust that Jesus is God.

Thanks YCC I believe in GOD, a higher power but i no longer follow a specific religious church affiliation. I am was raised a roman catholic. I believe that if you do good, you will receive good in return. I believe in karma very much. I am not perfect either and have made mistakes and sinned. The difference is that I accept, acknowledge and take full responsibility for my actions. I dont blame others and i am not a "victim" either. I just hate the hypocrisy of so-called "religious- church going christians". They go to church every sunday but the rest of the week are the biggest sinners! I think we all, including myself pick and choose whats convenient to ourselves. An example is: I am PRO-CHOICE. I believe in abortions. But others that are PRO-LIFE especially christians fail to uphold the sacrament of being married before having children. I have, do and will call kids of my own older brothers and others as bastards since they were concieved outside of mar

My faith sits squarely on my own shoulders. As an ever-learning, ever-evolving creature of sentience and rational thought, I have many options in what is presented to me to believe; every loud-and-proud religion out there claims to be the one and only truth, but I stand firm in my pursuit of my own perspective. I will be wrong many times, and I will learn when I stumble; to do any less would be to betray my very nature as a being of sentience, growth and learning. To accept what I am told simply because I am told it, a treason against my very being. I challenge every assertion, I question every motive and I refuse to believe that which cannot sustain itself with legitimacy.
