I used to do this a lot before became a Christian, it feels rather different when you are "in the calmness" (I think most people give up if they don't feel it) and still do it a bit from time to time. The major difference I think is for Buddhist, it is a way to enlightening, but for Christians...

In my experience God only do it in extreme situations (the conversion of Paul, or in heavily persecuted countries such as Iran). Most of us have something that is less dramatic, to me it is a slow but constant "experiencing" of God. I know that after I became a Christian I am a changed man...

No one can face God (the Father) directly. in OT most people when they see angles of the Lord they are afraid they are going to die. God even covered Moss's eyes before walk before him. Jesus is also God (word of God, or son of God), but he is the part of God we can see and through him we...

Understood, but I quoted the original hebrew, which is הַגֵּר֙, alien, strangers, not converts. Deuteronomy 28:43 Interlinear: the sojourner who is in thy midst goeth up above thee very high, and thou goest down very low;. And in Isaiah 56:6-8, it is also talking about the foreigners who...

Nothing is wrong about proselytes, the word used in Rev 28:43 is foreigners (Hagr), see Deuteronomy 28:43 Interlinear: the sojourner who is in thy midst goeth up above thee very high, and thou goest down very low;. And Nicolas in Acts only share a name with Nico in Rev, so no one is sure if...

Understand. I would say the green box (Love your neighbor) actually are over all other boxes, as Yeshua said it is the biggest law of them all. It is very difficult though as none of us are capable of it not for God's grace.

There are many gentiles saved, the hooker, Jude, even a Judge of Isreal is gentile. All that required is a heart to follow God, if you look at what the Isrealites did during the time, God punish them for what they did, and if gentiles follow God, God accepts them. The people in Canaan was...

We are all sinners, and most of the time we like to think ourselves are in the right. comfy8 is correct, pray for them. Only God can wake us. By the way, I used to believe in evolution, not any more. To me now evolution is more like parameter tuning instead of full scale change, i.e. gear...

Agreed. You should not just follow the religion of your parents. You should follow God. My parents are all atheists, yet I follow God (I tried Buddhism before, also researched Judaism and Islam just to be sure). They don't follow Islam strictly. If you have read the ahadith on war and loot...

This is my believe that baptize is only a ritual and not required as the theif who died on cross was not baptized. Believe is the only thing that is required.

I don't know how God made this, I can only speak of my own experience. If you truely believe in God, you will want to follow God's law and dislike what God forbids, hate/kill etc.

All of us will fall short of God, we will all sine, that is what humans do. However for Christians, we know we are bad, and we know we can't do much about it, but God can, and we ask God to save us, and God promised He will help us, and by faith we know He delivers his promises in His manner...

1. differ from person to person. For me, it is from my understanding of the Bible and my personal experiences. The initial moment is like some one fliped a switch, and I just go "well let's try this could be right". The rest of the change are more gradual and up/down with upward trend with...

Everything else I said I stand by, i.e. "All others, i.e. worship him, good person (even though none is good) etc are not criteria but as a result of believe in Jesus.", "And if you truly believe in Jesus, God's spirit will enter you and change you to be better", "Nope, you need first accept...

Show one sentence from my post where I said "the Holy Spirit somehow made it so you could not possibly do other than what he said" :) I have said time and time again that I am a sinner just like you. And if you would like, I can show you post after post you misquoted me and tried various ways...

That is what they believe, this is what I understand. And once you believe, God will help you change. Take Paul, who was running around killing Christians, and once he change he became an apostle.

There is nothing hidden. Believe in God is all you need. No other deed is required. So basically, I am not required to do any good deed, however this is my personal experience, that after I believed in God, I have changed and I am doing those things (and stay aways from certain things) out of...

I give you clearly the answer, only believe in God is enough. I know it can be very hard to comprehend. I hope this is clear now. I will answer the rest of your question in the other thread.

Well, I had to take some time to go through our conversion history. You were asking multiple times on the requirements to go to heaven, and you are trying to tweak my word. Did you see how many times I give you the answer and you just trying to avoid that answer? me: "believe in...

just a few: Acts 16:31 "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the...
