I'm now accepting questions. I solemnly swear that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God, under pains and penalties of perjury. Edited by KingJason001, May 1 2015, 04:13 AM.

Answering Pichu: Are you really Jason? I am. Pics or GTFO? Do you like pie. Is cheese cake a pie? If so, then yes. Remember Frost Cavern? Yes, sadly... JK Can you dance? It depends on my mood. I can shake my body rapidly to the beat, does that count? Can you add me on skype? Yep. Do you like pudding? Not really. Favorite hobbies? COFFEE!!! Answering Ruipcc: If you could, who would you bring back to life? The Apostle Paul. That man is amazing. Answering Heyward: Do you support Israel? Yes. God gave them the land. And eschatologically speaking, I am a citizen of Israel. |

I guess it pretty much starts as far back as I can remember, well not literally but close enough. Around elementary school I was taken advantage of, and raped by my best friend. At this time, he was in middle school, so he had a clue of what he made me do, while I did not. I grew up with this kid and I trusted him, I thought it was okay for us to do what we did. And this "grew" into a life style, it became normal for us. For several years he convinced me that it was okay for us to "practice" on eachother. But then I got to middle school, and we became less distant and I was without a "moral compass", so I decided that I was gay. During this time, my dad was constantly drunk, and I never saw him except when he'd come home after work several hours late because he had been cheating on my mom. I never really saw him as a father, or what most people would call a "father". He was physically and verbally abusive toward my mom, and some of that carried over to me. I remember several nights that I would yell at my parents to stop fighting, and my sister would be back in her room crying. During middle school, they got a divorced and I was happy. (All in all, my mom speculates that it was over 7 women he had affairs with) Anyway, back to middle school. I had no friends and was miserable. I was watching porn almost every day and I didn't want anything to do with God. In fact I flat out didn't believe. I decided I was also atheist, and this is mainly due to the fact that I believed I was gay. I couldn't understand why God would make people gay (though I don't believe that now) just to send them to hell. I hated God, and even the idea of god. Now I'm in high school. Freshman year, I was depressed and I always thought about killing myself. This was mainly due to me having no friends. I wondered how many people even knew me, or how many would cry. It was also due to the fact that I was gay. I felt hated by everyone at school (though I never really "came out" until later, I just knew they would hate me). Anyway, freshman year I was flat-out rude to Christians. I would go out my way to try and prove them wrong and honestly I called them idiots any chance I could get. I hated the way they talked, and how they had faith in "an invisible flying spaghetti monster". Even until now I didn't realize how jacked-up my life was, even with the young, forced, experience of sexual acts. Sophomore year I became even worse about it. In sophomore year I was just the same, but worse. I was "well-informed" atheist with a big mouth. But for some reason, this young lady named Erin wanted to be my friend. I had no clue why she wanted to be my friend so much: I owe my entire salvation to the work God did through Erin. She had a heart for God, and I knew she was different. At this time, I still hadn't told anyone I was gay, except for a few friends. Sooner or later, Erin and another young lady, Samantha started inviting me to their youth group. It took several weeks for me to finally give in, and I have no clue why I ever said yes in the first place, I chalk that up to God's insane grace. Anyways, it was around October in 2012 that I started going to youth group. I really just went to fit in, but God used it to prime me. During this time, God's word and my dead heart where fighting. I'd always look upon the youth pastor as if he was an idiot, but never said so. Anyway, in this time I also started going to the Morning Bible Study at BC, because being in band, it was right across the hall, and all my friends where in there. I still have no clue why I went other than God's grace. It was in December that same month that Blake Ferguson, now my bestest friend, invited all the Bible study to his church's youth lock-in. I figured it would be a great time, so I went; as did Erin and Samantha. Up to this point I had really been battling over the thought of God and fighting against his grace. Either way, this night I'd lose, and I'm so happy I did. It was like three in the morning and Blake, Erin, Samantha and I were laying out in the hallway talking when Samantha began to talk about doubts she had had over God's ability to work through her and her struggles. They were talking, while I just sat there absorbing the entire conversation. Then Blake brought out his Bible and shared Luke 8:28-33. "28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” 29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) 30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. 32 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. 33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned." Well at this time I was listening intently, and I saw Jesus for who he was, God. He had control over even the demons, and he was able to heal Lazarus. It is an amazing passage that speaks of Jesus' love. I was Lazarus, I had so many demons in my life and I was ready to be healed. That night I decided I wanted to be a follower. But I was a very shy kid and I didn't tell anyone except Erin a few days after. Even at that, my story doesn't end. I'm sorry, it's very long... But I wasn't discipled well at my old church, and I had no clue what baptism was or anything like that, I didn't know it was important to pray or read the Bible, so I went about 6 months in my sin and I continued to believe I was gay. This is when I came out, I told nearly everyone that I was gay and a Christian, and it was great. I got mostly positive feedback too. It shows you the broken world we live in. Anyway, I came out and I started to go to Sunday Church instead of just youth. I don't remember the exact length of time that passed between this and my break-down, but it was about 6 months. Well I had pretty much just been opening my Bible and highlighting randomly every night, because I didn't know better. Well one night I opened it up to the Corinthians passage about who will not inherit the kingdom of God. It says, "Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." and I was devastated. My sin hit me square in the face. I faced my own broken heart and was appalled. I wasn't even sure that God even loved me, nor could I ever be saved because I had been a homosexual. I doubted God's saving power for me. I went to the person who helped me out of my pit the first time: Blake. I told him everything on my heart and he was caring and kind. He pointed me to the next verse that I had missed out on, "And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." And I wept for the whole night. My love for God deepened ten-fold. Including this, he sent me Lecrae's "will you take me as I am," and that helped even more. So though I am not out of my homosexual lust just yet, I am so much farther away from it then I was 3 years ago. I don't want that lifestyle anymore, it makes me sick. I love God, and I am amazed by his grace and goodness every time I go back and look over my testimony. God has blessed me tremendously, and I have been tested through many trials that I am still struggling with, but I'm still struggling. In that I am free, I am free of my sin, and I am free to struggle with it: though I still have problems seeing it as this way. |
