I was a Buddhist myself for 5 years, the a friend at school invited me to a Pentecostal services a few times, I told that person I am very satisfied with worshipping Buddha. One night Buddha appeared in one of my dreams and said to me, " What Christ has offered is BETTER than what I can give you." That dream changed my life forever and I became a follower of Jesus Christ for over 43 years and still love every minutes of it.
Christ is God who incarnated in the person of Jesus to RESTORE our immortality, which He and the Father gave to Adam and his humans children to Rule and Reign with them on earth and the Universe before the Fall in the garden of Eden.
Jesus said to the humans 2000 years ago, "Ye must be Born Again!" because of Adam and Eve sins of disobedience when they side with Satan/Serpent instead to be with Christ/the Tree of Life for eternity. Jesus said to the humans, "Ye are gods!" Adam and Eve were created in the Image of God, in theirs likeness but they were deceived by the Serpent to give up their immortality to become his servants/children of Darkness.
Christ came down from heaven to RESTORE the humans immortality/eternal life with God, all we do is to believing in Him and to live our lives to help others on the earth then we will RULE and REIGN with God when Jesus returns.
I genuinely applaud your conviction to the cause & connection with your God. So if I'm just grateful for my lot, satisfied with how things are & make every decision on moral grounds, do I have to worship a named being out loud with a group of similarly minded folk? Or do you think I can simply do that internally without attaching a handle or visual image to whomever is responsible for the general creation and state of things, without the need to do it at specific pre arranged times & locations, with a particular group of approved chums? So many choices, I don't really want to put all my eggs in one basket & find out that I got it wrong, with dire consequences. As far as the ruling & reigning bit goes, im more of a background kind of guy, & while i was the boss of a successful business for a couple of decades, the whole boss/ ruling & reigning bit didn't sit well with my personality type, and I found it a constant struggle, so in all honesty that bit isn't really my cup of tea.

So many choices, I don't really want to put all my eggs in one basket & find out that I got it wrong, with dire consequences. ~~ Thanks, all I can do is to share my testimony and my journey with Christ and God to encourage the believers to keep on believing and serving God and Christ to the end.
According to Jesus and apostles, the true believers worship with the New Testament teachings of Jesus Christ with a group of the same faith, come together to have fellowship with another and worshiping the same God the Father and Christ our Lord and Savior.
God the Father, Christ and apostles had established some of the homes of believers, appointed by the apostles/workers as the church elders who lead the Sunday worship gathering. These instructions are found in the New Testament churches. Just follow these instruction there will be harmony, peace and Unity of spirits.
As far as the ruling & reigning bit goes, im more of a background kind of guy, & while i was the boss of a successful business for a couple of decades, the whole boss/ ruling & reigning bit didn't sit well with my personality type, and I found it a constant struggle, so in all honesty that bit isn't really my cup of tea. ~~ We as believers have no choice of ruling and reigning with Christ our God, if a believer doesn't want to rule with Him, then they can be servants serving tables, washing dishes in God's kingdom. God doesn't want to force on any believers to do anything that they don't want to do. You don't need to worry about it, God knows what the believers are capable of and will NOT put anyone in places/positions that they are NOT comfortable with.

And perhaps you keep clicking on it over and over and over and over and over again. I mean because you are on TMB constantly, even when you claim to be at Bible study, convention, and work. You are the biggest liar. Can you keep claiming that people have gone to meetings and convention because of you, yet you never provide any proof. You are a liar and a braggart. I don’t believe anything that comes out of your mouth. You’re Hell bound, sweetie.

We have camel races every year here in Nevada, in Virginia City. It's a great tourist attraction.

Is that better than a hay loft relationship? Do horses climb ladders? I never thought of that. I suppose the stable would be somewhat more odiorous for a cowboy than for a jockey. I heard a woman say on TV last night that horse poop is really just dried up grass.

Wha if he rode on an extremely skinny camel and ducked his head -- and chose the larges needle to get through. Good points. There's also a choice of two types of camels, One hump or two.
