A Journey

Through which gates shall I enter?

As a youth, I'm continuously tested as to what to do about countless things. Just like every human being who has ever lived, I'm tempted to do things I know I shouldn't. Like most Christians, I depend on discernment through my mind, spirit, through prayer and scripture but like all humans I fail (Romans 3:23).

Life is a journey....I'm on the verge of either "turning away from God" as some would put it or being brought back from lies to God's truth....

LGBT Christians

An out reach for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual Christians


LGBT Christians

I would like to introduce a new and growing group for LGBT Christians in Ireland. The resource is supported by Irish LGBT groups and Pastors, Ministers and Priests from the United States and the United Kingdom. It was founded in the latter part of 2008 and will become more active in 2009.


"Our mission is to bring Christ to those who have been alienated by those organisations that claim to be his Church and claim to preach his love and yet through ignorance and misconception preach not love to Gods lesbian, gay and bisexual children.


Secondly, we seek to create an atmosphere of understanding between those who think that homosexuality has no place in Christ’s Church and those who think they do.

We seek to remove ignorance and misconceptions and to stop hate and homophobia

John 13:35

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

LEELUM'S BLOG

Uh-oh!

The recent blog I posted about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints* has generated a lot of interest. Many were unfortunately offended by my post and many more found it informative.

If you have any further questions about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can found out information from the following three sources recommended by me:

1) Click here to talk to Latter-day Saint missionaries online!

2) Click the badge below to talk to Latter-day saint believers rather than missionaries.



3)Or, if you'd appreciate something a little more home grown, e-mail Robert, the Irish Ex-Roman Catholic youth who I questioned for the controversial blog. His e-mail address is:

I hope this has helped!

*I feel it's important to note that I am NOT a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and nor is this blog affiliated with them.

An Independent Evangelical Church

The following questions were asked by me to a member of an Independent, Evangelical, Christian Church. The person to whom I sent the questions is named Luke, a 16 year old member of Ashwood Church, Kirby In Ashfield in England.

Ashwood Church is "a lively, informal and growing Church with people from a wide variety of backgrounds who love, serve and proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord. We aim to be a Church that is friendly and for the whole family.

As a Church we seek to Love God, Love One Another and Love the World. We are a Church in the Community and are passionate in demonstrating Gods love, compassion and care for people who don’t yet know Him."

Here are the questions I asked Luke:

Who is God to you?
God is the almighty powerful being, omniscient, omnipotent and so on. He is a God of authority and we respect him. But at the same time he is kind, caring and loving. He wants the best for us. But the only way to him is through Jesus.

Who is Jesus to you?
Jesus is our saviour. He died on the cross to forgive our sins; he is also our best friend. Technically he is the earthly form of God. But also he is the word. He is the truth and the light, the way to God. Every day we aspire to be more and more like Jesus.

Who is the Holy Spirit to you?
The Holy Spirit is all around, and within us. He is a force of power, a spiritual form of God. He guides us and helps us along the way, a raging fire that grows inside us.

What's your position on what baptism is/means?
Baptism is a promise that you give your life to God. It is not necessary if you have accepted Jesus as your saviour but it is proving to yourself and others you’re living every day for him. Mostly we get baptised within a year or so after dedicating our lives to Jesus.

What's your view on salvation outside of the evangelical Christian movement?
Personally, I believe that as long as you have accepted Jesus into your heart you are saved! I don’t fully agree with some practises or views of other movement but, that is their own interpretation of the bible. Cast your burdens onto Jesus and believe he died on the cross to forgive our sins.

Do you hold a fundamentalist view on creation?
What are the chances of you throwing 10 ball-bearings on the floor and them all spinning around each other. Okay this may be elaborate but every day I look around and think how could all this ‘just happen?’ ‘Okay so maybe not in 7 days but 7 periods of time?’ – hold on! This is the almighty God we are talking about; he could probably do it in 7 minutes!

Please explain the happenings you think will occur in the second coming
Judgement day, we will all bow down to Jesus when he returns. Our eyes will be opened to the truth.

What is the name and website of your Church?
