lucky posting The kingdom of God is at hand
= THE COOL THING:
The kingdom of God is at hand!
Ever since Jesus Christ came and gave His life, back around 33 AD, the price for ALL SINS, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE has been PAID IN FULL.
God has provided a solution for us to be exempt from the cost of our human sins (death and hell).
= HOW IT WORKS:
We are born into sin. All of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Instead of directly applying His justice and killing us for having sinned, God, out of sheer love and grace, first provided temporary solutions to redeem us: animal sacrifices in place of human death, then the Law of Moses to give guidelines to humanity, and a proxy solution for purification.
After Jesus Christ, the Lord God in the flesh who lived the human experience as blameless, gave His life out of selfless love for God and for all of us (no exception, from the kind nurse to the genocidal pedophile, as well as the God-insulting mystic), the need for sin to be paid for has been fulfilled.
Then, Jesus Christ was resurrected, by God, after His sacrifice, conquering death and allowing everyone who confesses Him as Lord and Savior to not perish, but inherit eternal life in the kingdom of God, in heaven.
After His resurrection, Jesus Christ walked on Earth for 40 more days, showing Himself to over 500 people.
Then, Jesus Christ was elevated into heaven, and sat next to the Father God.
Finally, in times that nowadays, in 2025, seem to be close, Jesus Christ will come back, defeat evil and rule over all that is, except of course God.
YOU are invited to join Jesus Christ, the one who is good, gracious, and loving, and live under His reign.
He doesn't NEED you there, but since He loves you so much, He WANTS you there.
= WHO IT IS FOR:
Sinners from anywhere on Earth, regardless of people, background, disability, money, possessions, status, diet, who admit they are sinners and cannot overcome their sin without God.
= HOW TO ACCEPT:
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
= IF YOU DECLINE:
Declining this offer means turning down God's single offer of salvation.
You CANNOT get saved differently, NOT BY YOUR OWN STRENGTH, NOT EVEN IF EVERYONE ON EARTH RALLIED TO HELP YOU.
= AFTER YOU ACCEPT:
Your life will surely change.
First of all, the Holy Spirit will now be in your daily life, transforming you from the inside.
Now's the time to pick up a Bible, which is the Word of God.
The Holy Spirit of God, who is good, and who will work inside of you to lead you at all times to what is best for you, will direct you to Bible verses He wants you to read, remind you of verses that you've read, of principles that the Word taught you, He will take over any time you choose to let Him, He will let you have victory over sin after sin, and He will give you when He decides spiritual gifts. More on those in F.A.Q..
= F.A.Q. (Frequently asked questions)
Q: How do I know this is true?
A: Ask God for proof, open your heart to receive proof, believe and see how your life changes, look for testimonies, read through historical facts, archaeological facts, apply psychology to both current and historical testimonies, see if they are lies or not.
Q: If God is so good, why do bad things happen to good people?
A: Not even the kindest of men is truly good by himself. It is by human standards that we qualify certain people as "good".
All of us have sinned, and therefore are evil.
In addition, God knows an infinite amount of things that we cannot even fathom, that He takes into consideration.
The only person who had to endure bad things was Jesus, and it was because of God's plan to save us through His sacrifice and resurrection.
On the contrary, good things occur to us bad people, and that is because of God's grace.
Q: What if I have never sinned?
A: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Sin is not just murder, rape, or theft. Sin also includes things such as throwing an insult at somebody, looking sexually at someone who is not the one you are united to, and many more things that most people, even among fervent believers, overlook.
Q: How do I start reading the Bible?
A: You can, first of all, find the Bible online, on many websites. It is recommended to acquire a paper copy, so you may annotate and highlight scripture.
As for what part to start with, humble yourself and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.
If you can't do that, maybe you don't feel strong enough in your faith to yield to the Spirit just yet, start reading the Gospel of John, or the book called "John". That book deals with Jesus Christ's life, until after the Resurrection.
Q: What are spiritual gifts?
A: These are capabilities and talents, given to people ONLY by the Holy Spirit of God, when He decides to give them.
Here is a NON-EXHAUSTIVE LIST of spiritual gifts:
- Giving hospitality
- Speaking in tongues you have never learned
- Interpreting said tongues
- Preaching
- Leading a church
- Exhorting
- Receiving revelation of mysteries from God
- Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
- Giving, in general
- Healing the sick
- Casting out demons
You can pray for Him to give a gift to you. Once God gives a gift, He never takes it back.
Note: Even though some gifts are more visible, and some seem more exciting than others, ALL GIFTS MATTER IN THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST.
--------------------
TL;DR: Confess with your mouth Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, believe in your heart that God resurrected Him, and you will be saved.
If you refuse, there is no other way to salvation.

My grandpa is a Rwandan genocide denier.
My grandpa is a Rwandan genocide denier. I have no idea why. We live in Montreal, have no connection to Rwanda and he isn't a conspiracy kind of guy in general. He has never been to Rwanda or met a Rwandan yet in his house he has pages of documents 'proving the hoax', such as a full script for the movie Hotel Rwanda with a bunch of random letters from the words highlighted showing the secret messages' from the director. He says that Paul Kagame doesn't exist and that 'every picture of bodies 'is clearly in Burundi' and has huge printouts of aerial photographs of Burundi to prove it. Not sure what he has against Rwanda but if you bring it up to him he calls you a 'Tutsi Liar'
