Anyone from the UK want to be friends?

I am from the UK and recently became a Christian but practically all my friend's are not Christians so was wondering if anyone wanted to be friends?

I plan on joining a church soon, New Life Church in Hull.

Sure

Well ever since a moment that happened in my childhood where I came to terms with the fact that everybody dies and around this time I began to cry and fear death.

I had attended Sunday School in my childhood and then departed from it and began school where I was brainwashed with the lie of "evolution".

I have had a traumatic time as far as family goes...

My mom suffered mental health and died when I was around 7 so I was always living with my grandparents and I never knew my dad also my grandparents then died around 3 - 4 years ago...

I am now 18 when in the hospital I prayed for them to survive my Grandma died and then a short time later my Grandad was put in hospital, so I prayed for him at this time I remember saying any God in my prayers (I wasn't fully sure Christianity was true) and then I told my Uncle and found out that he was infact a very strong Christian and so I prayed and prayed, the doctors said he wouldn't last 24 hours he infact lasted a very long time...

I have come to know the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is the one true God who sent his only Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour to die for our sins.

I pray for you to grow in your journey to accept Jesus Christ, Amen and God bless you.

Yeah, its hard when all your close mates ain't Christian, I know about it.

You have truly had a rough time, I am glad God found you

Have you been to New Life yet? I hear it's very lively, are you considering going to their worship conference?

I haven't been but I am going to be going to a different church this weekend with my Uncle.

Dear brother, may the Lord take away your pain and may you find relief in Him. Your cross is heavy and thus Christ is very close to you. Do not worry! Welcome to the forum and if you want to speak pm me!

Sure, feel free to PM me.

God bless you.

As your new Christian friends will generally be (shamefully but unsurprisingly) unwilling to mention that elephant, I would like to say that it does appear that you have been lied to. But not by who you think.

I hope you enjoy Christianity and that your New Life Church does not teach you to say things this factually incorrect, though these institutions tend to be more concerned with what you believe instead of being truthful so it depends where your concerns lie.

Should you want a friend who won't let you lie to yourself and others feel free to send me a pm.

Hey, I'm from Leeds, if anyone wants to get chatting? I'm from the Newfrontiers family of churches

Wow, regardless of what viewpoint you've chosen to take in life (which I respect, just like I respect anyone's free will) it really saddens me how bitter your posts sound and come across...

People have made mistakes in all religions, and not everyone gets everything right (in whatever walk in life). I don't really see how that's a reason to stereotype a whole group of people (in this case, Christians)...as I have personally met decent and not so decent people who are Christians...I soon learn which types of people I prefer to avoid.

Whatever you choose to believe in life, I really hope you can move on and learn to forgive anyone who has hurt you, or treated you badly in the past. Otherwise you really are just destroying and hurting yourself...

And considering the OP was asking to talk with other Christians, I don't really see how it's appropriate to jump in and find an excuse to attack them just because you don't like certain comments they happened to say, whether you agree with them or not. Honestly! You might not agree with what some Christians believe, but the lack of respect is really completely uncalled for!

I am new to the lord as well if you want to chat PM me
