It was just a few years ago, growing up in a Hebrew Christian family, that I went to Church, had faith, prayed - occasionally and read the Bible - again occasionally. Then the boss of my father, invited us all over to the States, for a conference on Jewish teachings in the Bible. It was my first time away and I enjoyed the time, but something better, more amazing happened. There in sunny USA for the first time, in the desert of Arizona something else happened...
As I was really a man now, it was time for me to make a decision about Jesus and this trip, made up my mind, that I wanted Jesus and wanted to avoid Hell. I was sitting in a room, when I asked Jesus into my heart. I suddenly felt the difference, I was relieved, my sins were off my shoulders and on the cross. Jesus was living in me, in my life and in my heart. What a great day! You might think, is it really that easy? Do you really just pray and feel different? The answer is YES. If you confess you are a SINNER, you believe Jesus died for YOUR SINS and He LOVES YOU, you will be saved! That's what I did anyway.
Anyway, thinking that was it for the day, having asked Jesus into my heart - enough for one day, I went to bed. Next morning I woke up early to reflect on the previous day, when a gleem of light, glistened through the bathroom door. I opened it, to get ready for the day, when I went to the sink, to wash. As I reached for the sink (with nothing on my feet), I wobbled unsteadily, before I felt myself falling. It felt like minutes, but in reality, it was seconds, before I fell... head-first straight onto the cold, hard, marble like bathroom floor. I was soon carried away and into safety, but the pain wrang around in my head, for days.
As I went back down to the conference, head still hurting, most of the ateendees met with me and they told me that I had been attacked by Satan, but the Lord had protected me. How true that sounded! I had no long lasting damage to my head and enjoyed the rest of my trip. I met Archangel out there and His name reminds me that the angels looked after me in Arizona. I never really thought much about hurting my head, because it soon healed after much ice and rest, but recently I reminded myself of it. I was doubting I was really saved, when the Lord reminded me I am on the Lord's side and I accepted Him the day I was saved and Satan tried to get me the next day - but he was just too late.

Eight years ago, i smoked. 21/2 packs a day. When I was saved, I threw them down, and have never picked up another one. It's been about a year since I had had a craving, but just the other day the temptation hit me for an instant.
How about advertisements on the tube? Many of them use scantily clad women these days to help sell the product. Viewing that. Don't get me wrong. Women are beautiful. That's the old joke that goes around about why Adam called her woman: When God presented her to Adam, all he said was, "Whoa! MAN! God, you outdid yourself! She's gorgeous!" Satan knows how to use "eye candy."
There's all sorts of temptation out in the world. Listening to, or telling, dirty jokes. swearing. pride, etc.
Does that sound like I lead a boring life? I don't. I enjoy life. I just do it differently than most. And soberly.

What sort of things are you tempted to do in your day-to-day life that you resist? Things like going out with your mates and drinking, or something else?
That's the key element. Just because we're saved doesn't make us "perfect." (Not by a looooong shot!) Christians have to daily walk apart from sin. The sin nature still exists inside each of us. If someone tells you, "I'm a Christian. I don't sin," they're either lying, or don't know what they're talking about. In the book of 1 John, chapter 1, it says, "If we say we have no sin, we make Him (God) a liar, and the truth is not in us." Trust me on this. It takes some strength NOT to sin. But we have the Lord's help on it. It's actually in His strength that we resist. All of us are tempted. We just try not to give into the temptation.
Yeah, it is. Don't get me wrong, I don't hold it against anyone in the slightest, I think you're nice people how you can have a big discussion about it all.
My view on things is I haven't decided whether or not Jesus exists, and I doubt I ever will. But I just don't see how you can just accept something and then you're not a sinner? I like to feel like I'm responsible for my actions. If I do good, good things will happen and vice versa. I like the idea that I answer to no one and I'm the master of my own destiny. The thought that the roles are all laid out and we're just going along some tracks scares me to be honest, because it means that we're powerless to stop anything bad that comes in front of us.

Your perogative.
What's it like to have such a pessimistic view on life?
I love life. And you know what one of the best things about it is? I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder or putting pressure on myself to please someone that may not exist.

I believe the Mark of the Beast is a judgement on the world, for thinking it is clever. We have made computers and cars and think the world is "forever progressing" or "moving forward". However what some might not realise, is we are developing the technology to create the Mark of the Beast, the very thing that will condemn a lot of people...
