I Love Jesus Christ

I Thought He Was Just A Bible Character

By: RadicalSon
Written on December 7th, 2009

I thought I knew Jesus when I started attending a Christian church after being born again. I would often say "I love Jesus Christ" because that was what believers were supposed to confess. And we regularly studied about him in the bible. This went on for years, starting 1980.

I became an associate pastor in 1983 and senior pastor in 1997. But in 1998, I met Jesus face to face. It was when I first really understood what it meant to say "I love Jesus Christ." I discovered that the Jesus in the bible could be so real, right there in front of you. He could actually step out of the bible pages and be real---touched, hugged. You could sit on his lap, rest your head on his shoulder. He was someone you could talk with, play and run and walk with, laugh with, sing with.

Now I have a problem--many people, even many Christians and pastors, cannot understand me. When my Jesus tells me new and strange things in the bible, and share these with others, they think I'm losing it. But now I understand why I have to count it all joy when I experience various trials. It makes me complete in the spirit, lacking nothing.

    First of all Thanks for sharing your experiences with Jesus, Yes he's real and he's the god of this universal. He would show who he was and who is he through bible words. I have experienced that. Thank You once again. Jesus be with you.

    Jesus is real... it's a right anyone can have, no one can take that away. It's great that you really feel Him around your life. May it be a constant guidance that leads you and any of us who believe to righteousness in every aspect in life. Just make sure to be spiritually aware all the time, as the dark side of this world can easily play us around. God bless you.

    Believeing in something does not make it real. If you think of the unreal as real your drifting into psychosis.



    Also I didn't watch the show **** breath some one told me about it.

    There was a show on cable a few months back about some men that had these silicone dolls. They wanted them to be real women so bad that they bathed them and rubbed their feet and even cryed when they sent them off for repair. Jesus is not real he's a made up character.
