Hi everyone.
To tell the truth, I decided to join for multiple reasons such as making friends with other christians, discussing interesting topics considering faith or simply sharing a little bit of myself with you.
I'm 22 and I was born in Poland yet I have no issues chatting in English, especially because I've spent almost half of my life learning it. I cordially appreciate learning languages, it seems I learn them fast and it's joyful to play with grammar and paraphrases. I'm still not too good at it, but I'm learning French (in my free time) and German (which is needed for my studies).

Concerning religion, my parents have never been too strict on me thus I had to take action in order to learn more about christianity and other religions. I was curious why christianity is the only rock I should build my life on. There were so many other religions which made sense to me like Buddhism with karma concept or beliefs of Indians, where you should be respectful towards every living being because there's someone greater (they call him 'The Spirit', IIRC) and you're a part of this world so damaging it is insensible.

I willingly chose christianity to be true for a number of reasons and one of the most important ones is the fact I do not achieve salvation through my good deeds whereas every other religion (that I know) considers this a major factor in your final destination. I accept everything I do is not enough to 'reach God all by myself' so I humbly live my life trying to make other people's lives better because that's what Jesus did, too. He served other people, he humbled himself and that's an eye-opener for me. I find it crucial to overcome pride, especially now when there are numerous coaches telling you you should be proud of yourself and of what you've achieved. It's even harder when you did something competitive and did well. I find pride to be the hardest sin to overcome. Even stating that you're humble makes you feel proud of that fact, that may sound ridiculous but that's how it works.

I hope you to not be discouraged by my walls of text and to enjoy your moment of reading ;) I also look forward any questions you have to ask! ;)

Hello and welcome to Christian Chat. Your introduction above is very interesting.

What are you studying there in Poland that requires you to learn German? Also, are you living in a part of Poland with German speaking inhabitants whose ancestors were not deported? What are your thoughts and those of your neighbors about Ukraine? .....enough questions.

Basta, we are delighted that you have joined us and hope you find many friends and good fellowship here. We look forward to chatting with you. Welcome! May our Heavenly Father bless you. :)

I enjoyed your introductory post. Glad also that you have realized that you cannot earn salvation by good deeds. It appears that you know full well the harmful effects of pride and arrogance. Glad to have you as part of our community. Welcome to CC.

Nice to meet you and from your Intro, it looks like you've discerned some major truths about being a true Christian. Jesus said loving God and then loving our neighbors, are the two commandments that fulfil all the other ones. God bless you and your time here!

I study English studies and it's directly connected to learning other language than English as an addition to my course. I had an opportunity to pick either German or Russian and I like both of them, yet it's easier for me to learn German because I had a great German teacher when I was younger.

I live closer to the Ukraine then to Germany and I haven't tried travelling abroad yet so I have little to no experience in talking with German people. I don't want to sound picky but I prefer learning French (as my hobby and supplement) to learning German.

Concerning Ukraine: Despite knowing about what happened in Wołyń (a genicide of Poles living in Ukraine done by Ukrainian nationalists) I do feel bad for them and if I were to choose either help them [as much as I can] or run away - I wouldn't hesitate to help Ukrainians or my beloved Poland. I find it crucial to withstand trials and tribulations of life.

I'm truly moved by your warm welcome so let me say 'thank you' to you all kind people :)

You sound like a very interesting person. I love foreign languages and cultures. I majored in Spanish, but I only know a little bit of a few other languages. I can say guten tag, though! I have always thought that everyone is seeking God. People make different stories about Him, but Christianity is what makes sense and has been proven by a crowd of witnesses. I look forward to getting to know you more! Bienvenido!
