hi... I am curiuos but confused about much of what I am reading. I would like to answer your question though. You said, saved from what? When you were younger did you read the bible and believe it to be true? I mean, did you really study it?
I guess the first thing that made me wonder about my existence and purpose is how did we get here and where did this world come from? It states in the bible that we need only to look around and see all of the things that He created. There is proof everywhere. This big bang theory (and evolution I might add) has no logic to it whatsoever. God indeed created the universe, and he created man and woman. He then sent His Son Jesus to this earth to walk in it to try and teach people about Him and His heavenly Father.
When He was crucified, He was paying the price for our sin and everyone elses. It says that all we have to do is acknowledge Him that He is Lord, and that He died for us. If we confess this and ask for forgiveness we are assured a place in heaven one day.(we are "saved" from eternal suffering). It says very clearly that when we leave this earth and come face to face with Him, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. He will look at us and say one of two things: well done good and faithful servant, or go from here, I never knew you.
Do you believe there is a heaven and hell? I am just asking because some people do not.
If you study the old and new testament in the bible, you will see that everything (not most, but everything) that was predicted came true later in time, including every detail. Everything they predicted about Jesus before He was even born came to be true in the new testament, which starts with His birth. If you would like, I can find numerous verses in the old/new testament that show this over and over.
There is hard evidence that the Bible is true and accurate. It is so amazing. And when you have asked Jesus into your heart you know He is present and it is the most powerful peace you will ever know.
It still seems to me that the concept of yin/yang can still be applied to us, even if we are Christian. Yin and yang are not separated at all, if I am understanding this. If it was, it would be much easier.
The more I think about this the more confused I get. But I hate to see you dismiss yourself as becoming a Christian just because you are convinced of the balance that must be achieved. I think it is great that there is so much out there that most people don't even begin to ponder, but Christianity is an ever lasting truth that we will benefit from for eternity. When we are dead, it isn't going to matter if we believe in yin or yang.
Well I may be stepping on controversial ground. But I honestly believe that if you will allow me to share the references in the bible that prove Jesus is who He says He is, and you see that time after time the predictions all came to be true and are completely accurate, you will be amazed. (maybe???)
