I’m was told to get on #Nostr and do an #introduction

I’m James and I’m here to decentralize my life and stack #bitcoin for generational wealth and to change the future of how money operates. I’m a simple man that enjoys nerd shit and spending time with my wife and dogs.

I need some fellow bitcoiners and nerds to follow so hit me with an interaction so I can follow you!

I’m already thinking of deleting my Twitter account because it is so damn toxic over there. Using the #Damus app and Nostr seems pretty clean so far. ❤️

What would be the primary rule of: a “rules based international order” sitting on top of money that steals from people?

We are so early

#Bitcoin

I grew up catholic but once I got to 18 I just couldn't stomach the thought of needing to pray to someone, somewhere. Lived all my life not thinking about any of that shit. Now many years later and looking at the state of humanity. I think everyone needs a little bit of direction these days because this rock is going down the shiter very quickly. 😎

Can you elaborate / clarify your question?

What are you neutral about?

And are you asking if one must be a “member” of a particular “religion” to have a personal relationship with God through Christ?

(I think that is what you are asking, I just want to be certain as to give you the best answer given the context)

Well for starters

Jesus was a mere mortal human .. a black man

The pale blue eyed fictional Disney character image of Jesus they brainwashed everyone in the west to believe is an absolute farce

A shitcoin if you will

He was a great guy but he is not God

God existed way before Jesus

God is the root

The source

Do you have kids?

Witnessing child birth should bring you closer to God the greatest planner the greatest designer the greatest architect of all time

Waking up everyday able bodied should bring you closer to God

Hi HODL, good question.

I’m a Chrisitan, and I don’t think I have a particularly satisfying or coherent answer to this but I’ll try! I long believed in God in a “great creator” type of way but didn’t have a relationship with Christ and felt he was more of a Ghandi figure. That changes when I felt the Holy Spirt enter my life.

The Bible speaks about the Holy Sprit entering into peoples lives 50 days after Christ ascended (Pentecost). The Holy Spirt is part of the trinity of God, a single entity in 3 parts (The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirt). With Christ no longer active on earth God sent the sprit info to us of keep us connected to him and Christ.

My pastor speaks about being dead in sin prior to entering into a relationship with Christ. The idea is when you are in a relationship with Christ you are “alive” or reborn.

In my experience it is through the Sprit that you feel more connected to Christ. The Spirt is in you and a part of you, a literal part of God. Much like owning a fraction of a bitcoin makes you part of the Bitcoin network.

When you pray (again, this is in my mind) you are talking to God. It’s a very personal experience. I do this while walking the dog late at night after the family is asleep. I just talk to God in my head about things I am concerned about, ask for help with people in my life etc. At first it feels like a one sided conversation.

But after while I will notice things in my life that I can only attribute as response or answers to my prayers. To be sure they are not always what I am hoping for.

I believe the Sprit is the conduit that relays my prays and helps me recognize their answers. In that way I am communicating to Jesus.

To close, I’ll go back to the Holy Spirit entering my life. I was out for a late night walk and did my first prayers to a God that I wasn’t sure was real. So there after I found myself drawn - compelled - to attend Church. The desire to learn more consumed me. Frankly I was much like learning about bitcoin. Eventually I prayed to God that I didn’t know I’d he or Christ where real but I hoped they were. After that a light when on.

Good luck in your question. I hope this was helping. Send me a message if you have questions or want to chat.

Christians,

Help me out here.

How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ?

In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he exists to me more as a vague concept.

Any advice?

Now that we have push we could do a feature where you get notified of a particular npubs new posts. Who would use this?

Nice 😏

Just run `npm i` and `node index.js`.

Just two commands.

I will find it out when i get a chance.

Run the code like a real man
