Would you be so kind as to elaborate on why you posted this? Is it a testimony? A "warning"? Thank you kindly.

And welcome to CF, Kazane. God bless you.

Wow.. from a claimed "Protestant" you have offered no help to me what so ever, let me get this straight i have completely turned my life around due to a vision that happened to me in my life and you have absolutely nothing helpful to offer to a brother that has come to Christ does it really matter of the lives we lived before we come to Christ, does it really matter how we come to Christ?
so a lost person who has never been raised religiously has never truly heard the word and the only reasons he was taking these substances was because he was lost lonely and never knew of any other way and your opinion is that this individuals testimony shouldn't even be entertained.. wow. You really seem to have tunnel vision and you seem to struggle to see the big picture my friend, out of everything you could of said or thought about this this is your "helping hand" you are not very constructive in my opinion my friend and not very helpful what so ever.

At least


At least God used it to turn him around. Look at the bright side. God will reveal if his fruits are true.

Thank you for your kind words and i highly agree with you, hallelujah!

Just curious....Is Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of the living God, the God of the living, your focus?

You mentioned the above member was no "help".

What kind of "help" are you looking for?

And welcome to CF, Kazane. God bless you.

It's my testimony of what brought me to Christ and what gave me hope in life again and made me understand why life is worth living, it's not that i ever thought life wasn't worth living i just never really valued my life or knew why i should until this turning point in my life.
But i really feel people should interpret this for themselves if they read it and see it as a warning then it is a warning and if they want to read it and see it as drug induced non sense then so be it, it is really up to the reader to make of it what they choose to.
Thank you and god bless you too.

It's a "testimony" then and the focus is on Jesus the Christ and HIS victory?

Im not looking for no help through man just kindness and good words what I meant to say was he was saying nothing helpful/kind i'm not really too good with words it's something i still pray for help with. And yes i do believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of the Living God and yes i do focus on him and his teaching but i also try not to make him my only focus for absolutely everything as that would then be a form of idolatry wouldn't it?

You're afraid of "idolizing" Jesus the Christ? That you would be "sinning" if you focus on Him/glorify Him?

On another note, in reading your first post, is there a "testimony"?

I wouldn't label myself a "christian" as this only complicates the truth and causes division amongst men.
In the times before the bible and before churches were established how would every follower of God know to call themselves a "christian" i am a follower of God and his truths and if others decide to label that as a "christian" then so be it.
I strongly believe for one to avoid hell is to repent of any and every sinful ways that they might be bound to and to turn to God and pray for deliverance until they are delivered.

Repent to whom/what?

Thank you sir, I'm having a hard time repenting as in I know my sins are bad but since I am a youth I want to continue in my youthful lusts. Last ear I wasn't like this, approaching my first year of highschool I wanted to be holy, but when surrounded by unbelievers, you start acting like them as well

I don't think the post really clarifies distinctively that it is a testimony but as i stated people should and will make of it what they choose. that story is what brought me to Christ and help me understand Gods word.
No not at all i glorify him all the time and he deserves all the glory man could offer it is not a sin to focus on him nor is it a sin the glorify him but to idolise him is to go against the second commandment that was Gods words isn't it?
