I'm now going to call you 'Nuggety GODness' from now on.

I'm going to call him Jimmy Swaggart

not even close!!! that's a bit insultng actually...

You are exactly like him. You're a preacher.

[nuggety goodness]

... i was chasing skirt and was travelling quite well on that front up until i met this girl who said she was a Christian and she wouldn't sleep with me because of it. my first thought was 'sure, we'll see about that' then as time went by the challenge grew and i kept at it thinkin she would give in at some stage. i would go to church with her just to spend time with her afterwards and sat through probably 2 months of preaching. when i first went i thought they were all crazy and didn't really listen too much to the preaching and wasn't affected by it. i had no religious upbringing so it was all new to me.

she left to go to Perth with her folks ...

So you never tapped her then? Come on man, don't leave out the most important detail!

nope, she held out and i'm glad for it.

well considering i had no real conviction of any type i tried my hardest which resulted in her compromising her morals. we never had sex but it definatley wasn't a 'Christian' relationship...

so a quoestion for the non-believers, what is gonna happen when you die? everyone believes something and we all know that there is more to life than just being here on earth. everyone is intrigued with the afterlife and all that.

what's gonna happen? what are you hoping for?

I neither know nor care. Too busy doin' the actual living.

why? it's irrelevant...

so nuggety..........and the converted.

when did you see the light ? (experience your 2nd birth) ? your pretty full on with this stuff, seems like it must consume and run your life? how can you live, two totally different lives in one short lifetime, just doesnt make sense to me!

well i was 18 and in uni after moving from the riverland, i was chasing skirt and was travelling quite well on that front up until i met this girl who said she was a Christian and she wouldn't sleep with me because of it. my first thought was 'sure, we'll see about that' then as time went by the challenge grew and i kept at it thinkin she would give in at some stage. i would go to church with her just to spend time with her afterwards and sat through probably 2 months of preaching. when i first went i thought they were all crazy and didn't really listen too much to the preaching and wasn't affected by it. i had no religious upbringing so it was all new to me.

she left to go to Perth with her folks and i decided to stick around and listen to wht the guys had to say, i wasn't totally convinced but did have some kind of belief that there was a god, i just had no idea about the rest. one day i was talkin to a few of the guys and they challenged me about what the reason for my life was? what is the point? the fulfilment i had in life was temporary, every good thing, every pleasure in my life was circumstancial and only temporary. i had a good life, no problems, plenty of friends, good family, was studying and i was a nice person. it made me think but nothing changed. i decided that i would give God a go because the people at the Church seemed to always be happy and even through problems could always get through without a big dummy spit or whatever.

it was only when i decided to put my faith in God and surrender myself that i experienced Him. the way i describe it is like this; i have been skydiving right, the feeling is unbelievable, just amazing freefalling etc. if you haven't experienced a skydive you will never appreciate it to the full extent. you may know about what the feeling is like and you may have been told and can try to imagine it, but until you have actually taken the leap yourself you will never truly comprehend it. Experiencing God is just the same, i can tell you about it for ever and you will never truly grasp it until you take that leap of faith. and that leap is when you let go of everything else and surrender yourself to Him. you can't skydive in the plane and you can't experience God if you refuse to jump...

After reading that, I feel like I'm reading a mixed treatment of Chasing Amy and Dogma.

Having said that, good on you for having your convictions NG. I'm just not sure that I could ever share them.

Because it's more interesting than any other stuff you have brought up on this thread.

how the heck could that be a mix of those two movies?!? very interesting it would make you think like that.

you know, the convictions took time to grow, you know me and i was very loose through school and at footy. it's not something you ake up one day and go, 'i'm not gonna have sex again til i'm married' or' i'm gonna stop drinking and smoking weed today'

the more i realise what God has done for me, the more i want to do the right thing by Him...
