Converts to Christianity - What was most difficult for you?

Question

If you converted to Christianity, what was most difficult for you? By that, I mean what the most difficult teaching for you to accept and what was the most difficult change to behavior and lifestyle you made?

The same question applies to those who were baptized, but left and later reverted or became independently active and engaged later on.

My three biggest challenges coming to God were

a) my fear of human beings since Jesus said you have to be confident enough in God to resist society when it contradicts God

b) my materialism - prior to my faith in God I relied on the visual world for happiness so giving up my addiction to pleasures like gluttony or video games or expensive clothes or men was tough

c) my ego - I was full of pride and self glorification when I first became a Christian and it was hard for me to understand I was now trying to glorify God and not myself

d) My current challenge is loving those are anti religious and anti christian cause I am constantly being unjustly slandered and mistreated for being biblically observant and its hard for me not to get angry when I know I'm in the right

Baptism, I was thirteen, but pretty much everything that pertains to catholic theology, and the church itself, it’s just to weird.

Honestly none. Once I accepted that God created everything ex nihilo, everything else was minor.

Also, thank you for posting this. One of the resident false prophets posted something similar but she blocked me for pointing out her numerous obvious errors.

I've thought more or less the same thing as time has gone on. My argument is that if you believe in God and that He is infinite and perfect, then it reasonably follows that He not only prefers but rightly commands certain ways of thinking, speaking, and acting. Because man has free will though, we can act to the contrary (sin). From there it reasonably follows that in order to redeem man and reconcile him with God AND in a satisfactory way, then it would require no less than God Himself to break the power of sin over man, but in such a way that ought to cause those whom He has redeemed to reject and revile all that offends God's Authority, Love, and Mercy.

If I become religious, it would be a religion that worships Mother Nature
