Quote:Through my Christian faith I have come to value others more than I did before hand, I care for others in a special way, one that helps me give more of me and not look to receive anything in return, though much comes my way in the fact I see the effects it has on others.
Thank you for answering the question. Did you treat people badly before you became a Christian?
Quote:Peace, there's a peace that goes beyond understanding, something I did not understand before, something I treasure now. Also the revelations that come from God through the Holy Spirit, I receive an understanding of difficult scripture, see new things when I study scripture, many of these things are help in living the Christian life I chose.I think that this is a major draw of religion. Life can be hard and having the feeling that something larger and wiser than you is in control is probably very comforting.
Quote:Hate, yes I've learned to hate, hate the right things, those things that are detrimental to men/women that keep them from God. Hate the things humans can do to other humans, I have to be very careful with this, not to let it cross over to the people themselves. People like ISIS and terrorist in general are a trouble spot for me, prayer helps.
This is difficult for me also. It helps me to remember that the people who commit atrocities are also human and that if I treated them in the same manner that they treated their victims, I would be no better than them.
