I spent most of my life serving myself and indulged in everything I wanted ( self destructive ) I preyed to Jesus to help me
and I changed, yes my life changed too but I myself was changed, I'm just grateful to do what little bit I can for his Kingdom.

Much in the spirit of buffet dining, I serve myself first and foremost. I fill my plate with generous portions of logic, reason, and science, skipping the fatty excesses of theism and all the unsightly poundage that prayer and faith tack on. I can go back for seconds whenever I choose to (I never seem to feel full), as this establishment continues to hire the most accomodative staff. The main room's been filling up fast lately (must be good word-of-mouth advertising), with expansion plans in the works even as we speak. A few minor complaints (the hucksters and carnival barkers out in the parking lot are a shameful impediment, and the governmental SneezeGuard obscures many of the more tantalizing choices from view), but what eatery or bistro is perfect? Rational thought is the diet humankind has literally been starving for, and for too long.

Jesus certainly is the Son of God and I serve Him with all my heart, mind and soul which the Bible tells us to. If anyone loves anything more then Jesus, they are not worthy of Him. It sounds harsh, but if you knew Jesus, you would think the exact same thing. There are supernatural things that Jesus did in the past, in fact, the Bible is full of all the things He did and is about to do. OK, you may serve yourself, but oneday, you will regret it when you see Jesus illuminate the whole earth because one day, every eye shall see and every knee shall bow. It is a trick of Satan to convince us that we are our own god. Somehow, I don't think we would make a very good god to ourselves! We don't even know what is truly good for us. Only God does. It is up to you whether you want to believe it or not, but one day you will regret that decision, and you will too! There are some people out there who think they are hated because they don't read the Bible or go to church. Put it this way, a Christian would be in the wrong to do this. God loves you whether you read the Bible or not. What counts is whether you give your life to Jesus. We all seek to serve something greater then us, whether it be a god or even ourselves. Funny enough, that is your desire to serve God! But because they have never met God or accept the love and freedom Jesus offers them, they don't know what that desire means so they will serve anything which they think is a god.

Serve? I'm a human, not a sheep.

Reading these other posts, I couldn't help but notice that people like Ignatius, who spoke their minds in clear, kind ways, were flooded with unhelpfuls anyway. And those who said things like We should only believe in Jesus had barely any. It just goes to show how many narrow-minded, ignorant, my-religon-or-no-religon morons there are out there. Go ahead, give me some f**king unhelpfuls. You think I care? It's all for the same reasons. People assume that because I don't go to church, or read their stupid bible, I'm going to hell. Mechanical says that they are a Satantist, and immediatly people give them unhelpfuls too. Because there is just no way that Santism is as good as Christianity, is it? Nope, Christianity is the best! Well, newsflash: IT ISN'T!!

i serve no one. serving someone else is for the weak-minded.

Hello? Anyone read the Bible lately? Christ never asked anyone to serve him- he wanted people to serve themselves by serving God. When people gave J.C. a hard time and wanted him to be a messiah-warlord, he cut out to get away from them. . .the man never wanted to be an idol of worship. He wanted people to NOT GO to church and pray for THEMSELVES. Look it up.

Forgotten hero: I'm sorry but the help you can offer can do nothing when it comes to spiritual battles, only the blood of Jesus can cleanse our sin. I'm sure you are an ok guy, but without God in your life you are lost. >>>>>>>>>>> If you believe in other Gods or if you believe that God had no son named Jesus, then explain. How can you believe in one without the other? What proof do you have that one exists with out the other? What proof do you have that your God exists and the God of the Bible (or Christianity)does not exist? If you believe in a God that is dead, then what hope do you have for eternity? What has your God done for you lately?

I serve no single person but I will gladly help those who need it.

I serve myself first, then my fellow man. I am a Satanist {No, I don't believe he exists as an actual entity} Don't get me wrong; Jesus was a decent teacher {although Buddha had better points, methinks, although I disagree with the both of them}. But, I do not accept that he was God, or that there are any supernatural entities.

I serve all of humanity as Jesus told us to... not he himself. When you serve all of humanity then you are indirectly serving Jesus. But I don't do it for Jesus, I do it for everyone.

There are many religions out there, Donovan. Many people serve Muhammed, Shinto Gods, Krishna, Vishna, Ganesha, Shiva, Aphrodite, Ammut, Ra, Buddha,Hectate, Merry meet etc. Why do they serve them? Something called culture.

If I didn't serve Christ, I would probably just serve myself. And I can tell you right now that would be one huge disaster.

Let me tell you a story.. There was an old Indian chief who had 50,000 supporters. One day this Indian chief unexpectantly died. He left 3 sons to fight out who would be the next leader. Many of the indians said the oldest son should be the chief. Others said the youngest should be the chief for he is the most riteous. Others said the middle so should be chief, because he is the best liked. The next morning the youngest son comes telling everyone that his father came and told him in a dream that he would be the next indian chief. What are the brothers supposed to say? If the father could go to dreams and tell someone that he was God why diddnt he go to the other 2 brothers to say that the youngest would be chief? Or better yet why diddnt the father go to everyone in the clan in thier sleeps and tell them that the youngest son would be chief? Think about it.

I am quite nihilistic, but if I had to name my god then my god's name is Entropy. Entropy is the amount of disorder or chaos in the universe, and the laws of thermodynamics dictate that Entropy only ever increases, that the natural tendency of things is to become less ordered over time. There can be small pockets of order (such as molecules coming together to form human beings) but after we die our constituent atoms eventually return to the universe. This is not a theory, it is a scientific law, meaning it is just as real and substantiable as gravity. If I have to believe in some higher power that controls everything, then I believe in Entropy.
