Why are you (still) a Christian?

[Data]

Can you tell more about what type of god you believe exists and why?

The English word God was originally used by pagans prior to Christianity, (pagan means outside of, in this case, the Bible teachings) and comes from a root word meaning to pour, libate, invoke, sacrifice. The Hebrew el and it's variations, in fact any language, means something or someone venerated. From a word meaning strong. So, before Jehovah created anything he wasn't a god. Can't be a god if there's no one to venerate you. Can't be a subjective term like strong with nothing to compare it with. Jehovah became God to the Israelites. The name Israel means to contend, grapple, wrestle with God. God preserves. Jacob became Israel after wrestling with the God, represented by an angel. Michael. Angel means messenger. Michael means who is like God? Jehovah means creator. Causes to become.

Though Jehovah, I believe, exists, a god doesn't have to exist. It doesn't have to be supernatural, or a creator.

Why do I believe? Well, it isn't by choice, nor is it unfounded. I was raised in an atheist/irreligious family. I hated religion, limited as my perspective was, exposed to the small Midwestern town backwater, stump jumpin' gibber speak, hypocrisy and self-righteousness of "Christians." Out of curiosity I started to intensely study the Bible and it made more sense to me than anything else I had ever encountered. Which isn't saying much, but by comparison the Bible was phenomenal, in my opinion, and through it I gradually developed faith, complete trust, in Jehovah.    

And also what you mean by believing the bible and why?

The Bible is the fallible uninspired translation of the infallible inspired word of Jehovah God. Like I said, it made sense to me.  

Regarding being a former gay, there's a thread on sexual fluidity about people whose sexuality changes in adult life.  It'd be cool if you shared your story of how you changed from gay to whatever you are now there.  Unless you just meant you're now celibate, but no worries.

I did mean celibate, but thanks for the invitation. I'm still homosexual, of course, I don't think that changes, I just don't indulge anymore. Though that took me a long time. For many years after becoming a believer I chose homosexuality, drink, drugs, and all of the aforementioned "fun" things I used to do.
