I struggled with this for a while @HODL

I was an atheist / agnostic before I was very close to dying in 2015. I spent 7 days unconscious at the hospital. I didn’t have a “near death experience” hallucinations of the after life etc. Just darkness / nothingness. This is what I believe “hell” is, literal oblivion, it’s terrifying but it also brought extreme clarity that our actions in life matter and I connected with something that is not of this world while I was there.

After I came back and since then I can tell you without a doubt in my mind. 1000% certainty, God / Christ is real, It all happened, it’s all true, heaven is real, good is real, evil is real, the soul is real, being a good person is important, honesty / truth is important, integrity is import. Even when no one is looking.

Sometimes you’ll be hated for doing the right thing but things we’ll always end up working in your favor at the end. It’s like a cheat code to life to follow the “narrow path”.

He will always have your back and he hasn’t let me down once even in the darkest times you’ll see that it was for a reason at the end.

What you do in the mortal realm is what you’ll be judged for when it’s all over. Cannot explain it or show proof but I know it to be true in my core.

Also, once you feel it. It cannot be unfelt, it’s so obvious in your face but that’s the hardest part for most people because all the things you use to determine truth in the flesh (vision, hearing, logic) doesn’t apply. It’s a matter of the heart only and it’s extremely personal. You can be shown the door but only you can open it.

All that being said I don’t push my beliefs to anybody or try to convert people. Nor do I care what they do with their personal lives. I know if I do good, good things will happen to me and when I die (hopefully a long time from now) I will be alright. I do not fear death, it’s become clear to me that it’s a feature of being human, not a bug. Those who do evil or justify things in the name of God are larps because it’s extremely personal and only within you

Kind of cool to discover the most ardently ideologically based Bitcoiners get Christianity.

Thanks for sharing Nico. Maybe the Judgement is you judging yourself and your life the second before you pass.

Thank you for sharing. I have also been fortunate enough to have a divine experience. It is a gift. Those who have received this gift understand the futility of wanting to convert others. The next level is to be 'One.' If you have ever experienced this indescribable state, you will strive for it a...

Having Jesus in your life is the ultimate cheat code. Thanks for sharing.

Every thing changes when you have an encounter with God. I don’t think that everyone has a chance to have that encounter and that makes me sad Once you see things you literally can’t explain and you are looking with your eyes and know it is real but it doesn’t make any sense based on how y...

Very well put, thanks for sharing. 🙏 I also had to reach a spiritual void before I saw God with clarity and real understanding, the dump before the pump.

bottom line , you must believe as you are told, or burn in HELL for eternity, should you choose to not do so. https://image.nostr.build/0024bf6b9e5efa22feadcb0e9752a60566584c9b1643562d61e72803cc061aa8.png

Caveat good things don’t always happen to good people in this world and some people’s lives may just be in torture despite being great people. This sort of belief sets people up for failure when the prosperity myth shatters.

Also disconnecting belief from use of sense and reason is ignorant. That’s how you get people thinking that they can talk to their personal deity who always appears to agree with their desires. Any true faith must stand the test of the logical faculties otherwise it’s no different than a made up...

This is a very limited view of Christianity and religion and mystical experience in general
