RootsBooster Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We believe that there is only one God eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Can you remember when, exactly, you began believing in your god? Can you also remember why you started believing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeny Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Can you remember when, exactly, you began believing in your god? Can you also remember why you started believing? I can remember my first real memory of being possibly 3/4 years old , We were in church , I remember seeing a really old couple who spoke about believing , trusting in God , I remember thinking I can see God in their lives , I knew that God had had his hand on me also ( even at the young age) I can remember asking for simple stuff in prayer , like my lovely aunt and uncle in Sheffield to come to us to see us we lived in Fleet in Hampshire at this time so we saw them infrequently ), they turned up a few days later , it was a total surprise to my parents . there were many instances I can remember where I saw my faith grow because of the goodness I saw from God.

Completely irrational, but harmless I suppose. Next time you talk to him, could you ask your god to please stop giving AIDS to babies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I went with my family to church , I liked church but if I wanted to go on a play date I was always allowed to choose . So everyone that you loved, depended on and were reliant on told you that god was real from before you can even remember. And you grew up believing it. What a surprise.

Hold on, you've said many times in the past that your family/parents played no role in you becoming a Christian, yet now you're saying you first became a Christian when they took you to Church Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think as a youngster I saw more but these are flickering memories now as I am over 50 years old . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've always been adamant that your parents played no part at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
