Day 26: Your religious beliefs.

I consider myself an evangelical Christian.  I believe that Jesus was born, lived, died, and was raised from the dead; I accept that God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ in order to reconcile all men with Himself; and I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  I speak with Him, He hears and answers my prayers, He is the beginning and the end, He is the Word of God, He was with God in the beginning, through Him all things were made.  There is no other God.

I  believe that God created man from the dust of the earth. I also believe that God alone created earth and all planets in the solar system and beyond.  I don't believe in evolution, the big bang theory, some supernova forming the earth, or any scientific "theory" about how we got here.

I believe that all scripture is God-breathed. I believe that there is a heaven and a hell.  I believe that if we confess our sins that God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins. I also do not believe in replacement theology where the church replaces Israel. Jesus was sent for the Jews first and it was only after they rejected Him that He adopted the gentiles.  God still has a plan for his chosen people who are the Jews (Israel). 

I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and after I married I converted to Catholicism.  After about 10 years, my husband (who was a Catholic all his life) began reading the Bible on his own and made a decision that the Catholic Church had not been truthful in teaching him the oracles of the Bible and we left the Church to enter into a non-denominational, bible teaching, faith-based fellowship and never looked back.  We love to discuss the things of God. We love to watch ministers like Joseph Prince, Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Copeland, John Hagee, etc.
