I did not believe in God. I thought the bible was full of children’s stories… fiction and fairy tales. The few Christians I knew had “faith”, but they weren’t able to explain this faith… where it came from or why they had it.
I was in the “if there is a heaven, then if you’re a good person… you’ll get there” club. I thought there could be a God… but if there was, he was vengeful, very distant and unreachable. My thoughts never went any deeper than that. I absolutely believed in evolution. It was taught to me as fact, and propagated by nearly everything in the media. I was worldly and had no problem with it. I thought most Christians were unintelligent and judgmental and never considered becoming “one of them”. When I actually received logical answers to common questions… my curiosity was engaged. I would find myself thinking more and more about the possibilities… of God… of Him knowing me… of Him creating the world and everything in it… possibilities that maybe the bible could be true. My questions ranged from “Where did Cain get his wife” and “How can the bible say the earth was created in six days” to “How can a loving God send people to hell” and “Why would God allow death and suffering”? I was given answers to these questions along with scripture references. My willful ignorance was starting to crumble. I began to look into the word with excitement and I started to BELIEVE. I made a decision for Christ on March 12, 2006 at the age of 29. I am now a passionate and dedicated Creation Evangelist and I teach it and preach it any chance I get. Apologetics and the truth of creation, the truth of where I came from and why I am here changed my life and led me to salvation. Jennifer Young August 13, 2009 |
