My daughter who is a teenager got so encouraged too by Lydia. Especially that she's going to high school and she has a lot of fear about losing her faith. What you did, is great and because it's a from the heart it is so touching.

      In USA - Christian evangelists are multi millionaires, billionaires owning charter planes, ships, huge Mansion....all by looting public sheep.
      Just one book can make you a billionaire... talking BS about a Dead messiah,, invisible God, Bible BS is enough.
      Fun fact - Jesus Christ never existed.
      Roman kings fabricated Christianity.
      Bibles were written by Roman fictional writers called gospels to induce FEAR & GUILT to non followers and brainwashing public, branding them as Sinners and become slaves to King controlled Churches.

We choose to trust God's truth (Bible) as we seek to understand him and his purpose with whatever joy, trial or sorrow we face here on earth.
      Also, ALL people have a lot to apologize for as human nature has always been sinful. God is not responsible for the corruption of mankind. Men have certainly manipulated and used others for selfish gain. That was and is done in religious and secular sects alike. It is the tragic sinful nature of man.

My sister, on the other hand went down the opposite Road She is now deep deep in the party scene and walked away from her faith because of what she felt was taken from her. I pray for her every day. And I think it’s amazing how open we should all be about our faith, and I don’t care what the world says, and I don’t care if they hate us or even hurt us for our beliefs we may not always win the battle, but if we keep our faith in Christ, we will survive and win the war.

      God bless you for being so frank about your families shock. So sad to lose a loved one, especially when it is a parent. How your faith must have been rocked, I am glad that you wish to live for the Lord and not give in. Keep going Christian soldier in Christ. If your sister was brought up in the faith, she may return to it in time. Some grieve their own way by letting off steam?

      Leviticus 25 NASB
      44- As for your male and female slaves whom you may have-you may acquire male and female slaves from the pagan nations that are around you. 45- You may also acquire them from the sons of the foreign residents who reside among you, and from their families who are with you, whom they will have produced in your land; they also may become your possession. 46- You may also pass them on as an inheritance to your sons after you, to receive as a possession; you can use them as permanent slaves. But in respect to your countrymen, the sons of Israel, you shall not rule with severity over one another.
      Owning slaves is also part of gods word.

    She’s a role model to young believers. I’m sending this to the believers in my life, young and old. This needs to be viral.
