THE BOOK OF BEN - MY TESTIMONY
My name is Benjamin Baschmann.
What you're about to read is my Testimony.
Read this message not only with your lips but with your heart.
It's been oversimplified for your enjoyment and understanding.

I was raised without Indoctrination.
Although, when I was 6 in 2010, I was introduced to the concept of Angels and Demons.
I saw Satan in an old cartoon and I became fascinated with his villainous character design.
My Mother became worried; so she introduced me to the basic concept of Angels and Demons.
With what she told me; I fabricated a goal to behave better. (Because I was a brat at the time.)
Sadly, I failed, and I was bullied for trying by other kids, so I completely abandoned the concept.
I also didn't really understand what Angels and Demons were at the time.
I thought they were role-model characters like Superman or Batman.

In 2018, when I was 14, I began to struggle with various immoralities.
Little by little; I would try anything I could and I sadly did it with public pride.
I also emotionally hurt people directly and indirectly; by accident and on purpose.
So my actions became heinous and it almost cost me my friends and family.

Eventually; I started to question if there has to be more to life than pleasure.
So when I was 18 in 2022, I prayed to God for help, but there was no response.
I prayed and prayed, but still, there was no reply and I became impatient.
Then I decided to do something that came from my heart.
I knelt and said: "God, if you are real, change me".
After that; I became a firm follower of Christ.

Although the story should've ended there; it sadly didn't.
I've struggled from time to time since then, but I've been doing better lately, all thanks to God.
(This is why I believe Yahweh is the only God who answers prayers; because he answers mine.)

Therefore; I reveal this message to you because I want you to understand something.
You will never meet God unless you are just as willing as I was that night.
God won't force you to follow him, but he'll wait for you to look for him.
In the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit; Amen.
