I dont feel like i introduced myself properly -- A re-introduction

[Mr.max1192025]

It was 12:30AM when i made my original introduction and i was EXTREMELY tired, so i’m gonna be describing more about myself rather than that lame little paragraph i wrote.

My name is Max, but my real name is Jaiden Boczar. I am 15 years old, a Christian Buddhist, and a Slavic Native American. I was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona and never left. I spent most of my life making artwork, listening to music, exploring cultures, and learning public speaking skills. This year, I will be taking CSI classes because IF i can make it to college, i want to be a CSI agent.

My favorite topic in school is World history (specifically the WW2 era), and Economics. My favorite TV show is Invincible or Sonic X, my favorite video game is probably either Dayz or Asphalt Legends, my favorite food is the Teriyaki chicken subway sandwich, and my favorite songs are “ Stealing Society” by system of a down, “ Dark Red” by Steve lacy, and “Saturday Night” by the misfits. Also my favorite colors are black and red!! specifically that color combo and anything in between.

I joined this website after tackling a mental health crisis and turning to god, and he heard me. but since i cannot attend church due to a satanist mother, i came here instead for guidance.

here’s me, if anyone was wondering. I get told i look like a girl a lot lol

anywho, I’m grateful to be on this website and i hope that you respect me if you come along me!!

Nice to meet you Max, or do you prefer Jaiden? I will call you Max if that’s ok. Fifteen years old! I don’t remember being 15 every well, but I’ll keep that in mind if we talk. I’m glad you’re here and I hope you find it a pleasant and helpful place to be. Great introduction. Thanks.

thank you i prefer max because the name “jaiden” was given to me by the guy who tried to kill me after i was born, Max is what my mom was thinking on naming me.

Hello, Max. I am new here myself. And I just want to wish you the best experience.

There are all types of people here from all kinds of backgrounds and churches who represent a variety of perspectives. And as with any chat group or discussion forum in the world at large, you never know if people are presenting themselves honestly, or if they may have an agenda.

With that said, I just want to encourage you to be careful with how much personal information you share here. Just because this is a “Christian” site, that does not mean everyone here has the best intentions. You should protect yourself first, heart and mind as well as body and soul. Trust is something that should only be given to those people who earn it over time, in person. Not online. At least, that is what I believe. So don’t even trust me. Protect yourself.

If you truly want a feel for this place, do some research and look over the many various threads. Observe for yourself how people behave, how much they share, how they treat each other, the questions being asked and the nature of the answers being given.

There is this idea that comes from the Gospel- You will know them by their fruit. Behavior is a byproduct of what is stored in a person’s heart.

Honesty, kindness, patience, grace, mercy, peace, wisdom- Integrity- These are the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and they come from a heart that has invested in God and Godliness- learning, growing, studying, and developing personal character with intention and focus. They also come from God engaging our lives as well, to develop these qualities within us.

Dishonesty, impatience, hostility, being unmerciful, judgmental and divisive- these are all very normal human behaviors that don’t require God in our lives at all to develop.

I believe that when a person walks with God, they have Peace. They become peace makers in the world. They pursue God’s Peace, healing, and reconciliation in the world around them. While the person who does not walk with God instead wages a war they will never win for whatever reason justifies the behavior. Survival of the fittest, the pursuit of vengeance, getting what they deserve with no consideration of others. All of this is very human.behavior and it shows us where people are in their own journeys.

We all start somewhere, don’t get me wrong. We are all capable of these behaviors. But when you know what to look for, the information can inform us what is actually happening in a person’s heart no matter what they confess the truth to be. So… you will know them by their fruit.

Any way, God bless and best wishes.
