John Bunyan... The simple passage from Martin Luther's commentary on the book of Galatians that made such a huge difference on this uneducated man's life. And the simplicity that was passed down in his own works as well... How easy it is to receive Salvation and the Holy Ghost...

Paul taught justification by faith in Christ Jesus, without the deeds of the Law. He reported this to the disciples at Antioch. Among the disciples were some that had been brought up in the ancient customs of the Jews. These rose against Paul in quick indignation, accusing him of propagating a gospel of lawlessness. Great dissension followed. Paul and Barnabas stood up for the truth. They testified: "Wherever we preached to the Gentiles, the Holy Ghost came upon those who received the Word. This happened everywhere. We preached not circumcision, we did not require observance of the Law. We preached faith in Jesus Christ. At our preaching of faith, God gave to the hearers the Holy Ghost." From this fact Paul and Barnabas inferred that the Holy Ghost approved the faith of the Gentiles without the Law and circumcision. If the faith of the Gentiles had not pleased the Holy Ghost, He would not have manifested His presence in the uncircumcised hearers of the Word. - Penelope: Or Love’s Labour Lost, vol. 3 | Project Gutenberg (Martin Luther's commentary on the Book of Galatians Chapter 2)

Why did I become a Christian?

I was sad that I had cerebral palsy from birth. And I can't walk.I don't want to live in this sinful world In this world, our desires are not fulfilled. I wanted to be the bride of Christ.

I was horrified to see the Holy Spirit

I saw the Holy Spirit flying as a golden dove with own eyes

I was in the car I saw him in left side of wing mirror of car.


I don't know what my Christian denomination is, I know very little about Christianity, I was a Hindu but I love Christianity so much that I saw on the internet that Jesus died for sin. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, I can't read half the English Bible. I can only read the Marathi Bible. I can't go to church.View attachment 24183

I saw the Holy Spirit in the left wing mirror of the car.And I am looking for the meaning of why the Holy Spirit appeared, I was formerly a Hindu sect Vaishnavism. I became a Christian in 2021.My family doesn't know who Jesus is.:weary:do you understand?
Having been a Hindu you most probably still believe in karma.

Christianity does not believe in it the way the Hindu teach it.
God did not cause your disability...
God can only help you to live with it.
There is no "cause and effect".

God loves us but we live in a fallen world.
We also have free will and so can impose damage on other persons..
the same damage/hurt we receive at times.

Do you know where harm comes from?
OURSELVES
OTHERS
NATURE

Also, I'd like to say that when a person understands the sin nature it helps to explain a lot about how the world functions.

Jesus is God.
Jesus is true.

I truly believe that the Christian religion is the one that most explains the situation mankind is in.

I'm so happy that you've embraced Christianity!
There is so much joy!

Revelation 22:15
King James Version​

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
John 14:6
King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
It is absolutely true that Jesus Christ will give salvation to his followers and not to idolaters. :Hnds The times are short because Jesus the Messiah can come at any time.

Yeshua means salvation
Yeshua is the original Aramaic/Hebrew name for Jesus, translating directly to "salvation" or "Yahweh is salvation"

Jesus Christ will save us at the end of the world because he was born of a virgin and holy spirit. And No other god will save us. These are the truths. And Jesus took sin upon himself on the cross. He is the Lamb of God.Through Jesus Christ we have forgiveness of sins.

The above is so true.
I don't know about the Hindu religion.
But I do know that the Islamic God can save no one because He died for no one...
And to be able for a just God to forgive manking his sins...some payment had to be made.
The payment was Jesus.

There are always moves and countermoves my dear sister .
And something reconstructed christanity no longer beleives .
And what is it
The dire need TO HAVE TO BELEIVE . oh they can quoate things about him that be t rue
For example HE is the savoir of the world , but then twist this truth to imply
That because HE IS , it ma tters not if one believed on him , what religion they were .
But let me ask you something .
is not EVERY WORD OF GOD TRUE , EVERY WORD of JESUS TRUE .
so why then Do they treat this savoir of the world as though he is a liar .
for more info on that
notice the garden again . Satan never told eve there is no such thing as G OD .
no mam he did not do that
HE simply made it seem as though GOD was not right about this YE SHALL SURELY DIE THING .
JUST like he do with the words of JESUS .
oh he dont say THERE is no such thing as JESUS
HE just says SURELY YE SHALL NOT PERISH if ye believed not . OH he do twist things indeed
as do t hose who love the flesh surely do .
His twisting the Words of GOD didnt bode too well for mankind NOW DID IT
AND HIS twisting of the words of JESUS will not do so EITHER . WE have us a gospel to d efend sister .
You would marvel at how many folks now beleive that if even one did reject Jesus in t his life
OH in the end it wont have mattered . ONLY it sure will have ma ttered all right . JUST as JESUS warned it would .

What did JESUS make known that later john would , as did the o ther apostels .
He who does n ot hear you does not hear me and He who does not hear me
Does not hear HE who SENT ME .
We are of GOD he who hears us , THE GOSPEL , is of GOD
but he who hears not us IS NOT OF GOD .
WHY am i seeing a lie in todays christendom that seems to imply
that he who beleives not the gospel and follows another religion
SOMEHOW knows G OD . a lie of course .
In fact IF ye believe NOT that I AM HE , THEN YE SHALL DIE in your sins .
HE who believes not the testimony that GOD gave of the SON calleth GOD a liar .
But i sure aint hearing those reminders today at all via this ecumenical whore and her love cup she has dumped
and pumped unto a sold out generation .
Remember when i said we are witnessing w hore to door . OH but we sure are . and mama be calling all
her wayward children home by means of a false love with a promise and splash of
THIS is the way to att ain peace n safety . yeah rather SUDDEN destruction shall come upon them .
For all who made and loved a lie , well i can assure us much wailing shall be heard by those
ON the great and MIGHTY day OF GOD and of the LAMB .
How come JESUS wa rned so gravely unto those who had failed to repent to Beleive on HIM .
How come today its seems to be n o big deal either way .
HOW come JESUS said i never came to bring peace on earth but rather divisoins
but today its THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD for world peace n safety .
How come
because christainity HAS BEEN infil trated is the how come and another who has come i n his own name
has come to play GOD and merge all of humanity right to the day of their own destruction .
just like in the garden HE desired THEIR DEATH . that IS WHY he said as he did
WELL HE still desires that . SO you can bet he gonna say OH ITS OKAY if they BLEIEVED NOT

Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism are polytheistic religions so I never believe in karma. I am a strong monotheist because I cannot walk alone. And I cannot go to the temple of all religions.I look up what's true and what's false on the internet. :clmSmlx

Just curious, is there a reason you do not include the definite article ("the") when referring to the Holy Spirit in English, and why you do not capitalize the words (by saying "born of a virgin and holy spirit")? Also, do you acknowledge the eternal personhood of the Holy Ghost?

As for instance, and the definite article:
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.​
Eph 4:30 και μη λυπειτε το πνευμα το αγιον του θεου εν ω εσφραγισθητε εις ημεραν απολυτρωσεως​

As for instance on the eternal personhood of the Holy Ghost:

2Sa_23:2 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.​
Heb_9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?​
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.​
Joh 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.​
Joh 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.​
Thank you for considering these questions, I am only curious about some of your responses, as they remind me of some others I know.
