I am just a man. Real. Raw. Transparent. I have lived through many battles within myself, as well as in my personal life. I continue to grow. For some reason, the great God of the universe has placed me within many positions that have caused great wonder within, and I continuously strive to embrace it. I spend my time thinking deeply about the many different obstacles, experiences and peaceful pleasures that come my way, sharing my journey as it unfolds. It has taken me many years to accept some hard truths about this life, myself and the people who are all around us. Join me as I go through the struggles, victories and lessons. I strive to keep God through Jesus Christ at center. I hope that my words bring the reader encouragement, peace, joy, and a deeper appreciation for love. I also hope that we all see the real struggle that we all face in this life. May my writings bring someone, somewhere, thoughts that contribute to their own personal relationship with the Lord.

You are much more than nothing. Even without Christ. Self abnegation is a pit. Those who would encourage you towards self hatred are not your friends.

I was responding directly to what your Faith encourages you to say about yourself in your post. You are more. They aren’t your friends.

Some acknowledge the need for God outside of themselves. That’s what the writing was about. Thanks for commenting.

No. You said you were nothing without Christ. Your Faith encouraged you to refer to yourself as Nothing… without Christ. They are not your friends.

Ahh..geesh
Okay, so it means that the writer is faithful to His or her belief of the Bible. That he or she is sinful, by nature, and that Christ is the atoning sacrifice for that sin. The Bible will teach you all of this. These words in the writing would probably never make sense to those whom do not share in the faith.

I understand. But you are so much more than what the Bible tell you about yourself. You are much more than nothing with or without Christ. Think about it. No need to respond to me. Have a great day.

You never asked me and I never told you whether I was an atheist. Not very kind that you’d assume.
I’m not by the way. Thx

Oh, sorry. I’ve been attacked so much by them lately that I did assume. I apologize, but I do assume you’re not Christian. Is that correct?

Not all non Christians are atheist. And I was a Christian for 34yrs. Apology accepted. Have a great day again.
