Born Again Christianity

First off, I thought I would add my Testimony for God because I just saw that video about the 'Cardboard Testimonies' on youtube linked to someone's blog. I posted the video on here below as well - I really recommend checking it out. Here's what mine would be:



"Doormat >> Confidence and Strength in Christ"

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
(Phil. 4:13)

I've already told a few people about changes in my life, but many still don't know. I've become born-again in a way. Not the way most may think. No, it has nothing to do with sin or redemption because I don't believe in Christianity on those terms. I've basically re-emersed myself back into my Gnostic Christianity (see other post on 'Gnostic Christianity' under table of contents) earlier in this year after finally ending the abuse cycle I let happen to me for so long. I let the negative, dark people into my life who only sought to bring me down to boost their own ego. I've had a lot of unhealthy, abusive relationships for the past seven years.

Quick run down the list:

I had a manipulative ex-fiance who emotionally abused me. Several ex-boyfriends who lied to me, criticized me, belittled me, cheated on me, be physically aggressive with me hurting me, hold me down the bed so I can't move my arms or legs, used me as a stress reliever, objectified me, stole my bed and expensive electronics, became angry and violent and kicked me out in the middle of the night because I said I wouldn't take his last name in marriage, stood up because they were passed out drunk somewhere, treated like trash because of false assumptions, blamed his wife for not giving him sex and trying to use me as object, wham bam thank you mammed me, lied about a phony scam business and fact that they were $150,000+ in debt, lied to others and spread rumors about me... and a recent someone who I thought was a friend take advantage of me and who owned the misconception that I was a vulnerable person in need of his cheap, phony words and corny lines just to try and sleep with me and on top of it boost his ego for thinking he's 'doing me a favor'....

If you haven't guessed by now, I have a couple books in the making.
I've broken through all the tough things I've had to go through a stronger, more confident person. And more loving - to those who deserve it that is. Even with my past in the past, I've recorded everything and am writing about it all in the hopes someone can relate to all I've been through and maybe take my advice and learn from my mistakes.

I've learned to stay away from those kind of people that only hurt others and I've ironically found that all those people that hurt me in my past were either atheists, evolutionists, or satanists (quite literally)! I don't like to stereotype, but it's true in my case! There are lot of people who have no heart and lead cold, shameless lives.
I pity them and my heart hurts that people like that still walk amongst us, but they can no longer hurt me or use me - I don't allow it in my life.

I only surround myself with positive, faith-minded people who believe in and love God too. This is my change. Or my 'born-again' life if you will.

My heart used to be a part of the 'torn' chronicles. Not anymore.

I want to share something I learned recently:

1 Corinthians 6-7

In 6:12-20 Paul

.."Physical union should not take place outside of a “one flesh” (i.e. marriage) union."

Sex isn’t essential. You’re not less than human if you are a virgin. You’re not repressed if you wait until you’re married before sleeping with someone: you’re sensible! Jesus was born of a virgin, but he was also a virgin himself, while remaining a completely fulfilled and perfect human being. And sex is not just another experience to add to one’s collection. It’s not like going mountain climbing or sky-diving or bungee jumping – just another exciting way to spend a few hours, and nothing more. And sex is too important to just be an experiment. You don’t need to go “all the way” to know you’re sexually compatible with someone – if you’re a boy and they are a girl, and you’ve both got everything you’re supposed to have, then you’re compatible! It’s not exactly complicated.

There are better ways to express your love for someone you’re not married to. After all, it’s not very loving to have an unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease or to make someone feel as if you just want them for their body. It is not loving to engage in any activity that displeases God. And sex is not entertainment. If you’re bored go to the cinema or play a computer game or go for a run – don’t misuse something as important as sex just for a bit of mindless fun. That would be like hiring a Rolls Royce car just to pick up some shopping – a waste, a misuse of something precious, something that is far more important if used properly. Other people’s bodies are not just toys for us to play with and then discard.


"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3

Cardboard Testimonies Video:









"Beloved, let us love one another:
for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God,
and knoweth God.
And we have known and believed
the love that God hath to us.
God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God,
and God in him."

I John 4:6,16
