Thread for Christian chicken lovers

I became a born-against Christian sometime around 19 years of age. I have been raised in a Lutheran private prep school but I didn't really believe what I heard my whole life until that point in time. I had generically believed in God and traditional Judeo-Christian values but one day it hit me that based on what I was reading in the Bible, I was going to hell because of my sin. Then I remembered what I had heard my whole life about Jesus taking the punishment of my sins on the cross and from there starting seeking God. There came a point I finally understood the Gospel and what it meant for my sins to be forgiven.

I'm something like a Southern Baptist crossed with a Calvinist/Presbyterian and a smattering of other influences in terms of how I interpret Scripture and doctrine.

It was the same for me! I was a former Catholic and felt the man made rituals ( praying to statues, praying to Mary, confession to a man, etc) we're weird. But at least my catholic upbringing taught me that Jesus IS the son of God and died crucified, and rose again. I have since learned that only Jesus forgives our sins and we don't need a man to go to him. That if your a believer when you die the Bible says "absent from the body ,present with the Lord." Period.

Wow, thanks for putting my thoughts into words. Not to offend catholics, I just always thought "why do they confess to a person, only God can forgive you"

We confessed to a priest because that is the rule before partaking communion and it has been passed down throughout generations. I do not have anything against Catholics because that is how I grew up with. However, after years of searching and church hopping, got saved. Got baptized because I made the decision and it was the most magical moment of my entire life. 2019 visited PR and went to my old Catholic school searching for a very special nun. Most had passed but the one I always admired was there and she fully remembered me even to my mischievous stuff I did while in school. But now, I have my own personal relationship with Christ and the Word of God. I cannot be right if I do not start my day with it.
