I am a Christian and I have accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. Ever since then, my life has not been the same! I do not doubt Him. There have been times that I've doubted His faithfulness and He has proven it to me over and over again! The thoughts of living my life without Him is scary and so very hopeless and depressing! I'm so glad that I know Jesus!

We can know Who Christ is, but not really know Him. Many people know about Christ, but do not know Him personally. There is a big difference. We can have an intimate relationship with Christ. He is our best Friend...one Who we can talk to at anytime, anywhere and He listens. One Who will never, ever leave us or forsake us. We can totally depend on Him! We are never alone! He is with us constantly and because of that, we should not fear anything.
That is what knowing Christ personally is all about. You just know Him. He is #1 in every facet of your life. You trust Him completely in everything. He sticks closer than a brother.
I hope that helps!

Hi Springlady. You are definitely right, without God we are nothing and hopeless. Precisely we can do nothing apart from HIM says in John 15:5. But one thing I have noticed in your statement about accepting Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. You know, I tried by God's grace that my faith, and my living must be based on the teachings from the Bible. Because it teaches us not to go beyond what is written, in 1 Cor.4:6. But I haven't read yet from the bible about personal Lord and Savior. Would you mind to explain it?

I havent any doubts about anything when it comes to my personal path....I did in the beginning but I think that was because it was a new path for me but these days I have complete comfort and understanding when it comes to my spiritual path (I'm more spiritual rather than religious)

I don't have any real doubts in my religion anymore. There have been times in the past when I did, but I've never had a question that my Gods wouldn't answer for me.
Since my religion is non-mainstream and not particularly organized, I don't really have to worry too much about leaders or pastors. I originally learned about my religion from my great-grandmother, and over the years have picked up more information through books, mentors, and personal revelation.
As a child I think my biggest doubt about my religion was why people hated me for it, and often I considered converting to a more mainstream religion just to make life easier. But since I feel I have a personal relationship with my deities, I never really changed religions.
Eh, I'm a Celtic Reconstructionist Pagan by the way!

I am sorry that you see things this way, but I assure you I am not unhappy. My Gods have been a part of my life since I was a small child, and I fully believe in both their existence and that they care about me.
I know there are many people who believe in only one God, and that is fine with me. You are free to believe whatever you wish to believe, as am I. I wish you all the happiness in the world on your own path.

Hi,
I am sure that you are unhappy. There are a God only. The others gods are not of truth.

antonio20080 You are being a bit more than judgemental. If you think that people have to accept the same answers that you do to be happy you are very wrong. What ever your beliefs, they are fine for you but others find there happiness in other truths. You have no monoply on the truth.

No I have no doubts about my religion! I feel that my spiritual being lies within my faith and no one but myself can continue to believe in the lord. It is when times become hard for my family and I that my faith becomes stronger, I have had many experiences in life but none has ever allowed me to cast doubt in my faith:)
