Hi everyone! I'm Jesus_Saves, and that's the name I used in SFC Original. I retired from Original 23 July of 2010. As of 6 September 2010, I'm playing in Universe 2 under the name Youssarian.

Have you ever heard the Gospel? It's quite simple, really. God sent his Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins - death.
 
Have you ever heard the Gospel? It's quite simple, really. God sent his Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins - death.
  
That may not make much sense so I'll make it a little clearer. '''Jesus''' is God's Son. In essence, he IS God. He '''died''' so that we wouldn't have to be held accountable for our sins. '''Sin''' is going against God's perfect will. Have you ever lied, cheat, steal? That is sin. And one characteristic of God is that he is '''holy''' - pure, free of sin. And the problem is, holiness and sin are like light and darkness, which means that they can't be in the same place. So if you die, and you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord (leader of your life) and Saviour (rescuer from Hell), then you can't go to Heaven because of your sin. But, Jesus, who didn't sin at all during his life, willingly gave himself as the ultimate sacrifice. He died and took on all of our sins - he became our scapegoat, assuming responsibility for all our nastiness. Now, if we will accept Jesus, we get to go to Heaven! That's it, that's all. No long lists of "Do this!" and "Don't do that!" needed to enter Heaven. The most important commandment is to love God with all you are, and then love others with the same passion. The rest just fall in line.
+
Here's what I mean: We all have sinned at some point in our lives, be it through lying, cheating, stealing, etc. which means we've disobeyed God. Because of that, we deserve to die and be separated from God for all eternity. Jesus is God's Son. In essence, he IS God. Jesus never sinned while he was alive and when he died, he took the punishment for our sins - willingly, out of love for you. If you accept Jesus's actions and make him leader of your life and savior from your sins, you get right standing with God and will be allowed to be with God forever.
 +
 
 +
And forever includes right now. Being Christian doesn't revolve around following a list of "Do"'s and "Don't"'s. It's about a relationship with God through Jesus. Literally, you have a friendship of sorts with God. That is what he wants most from you. The rest of it will just fall in place on its own.
 +
 
 +
Oh, and Heaven isn't angels strumming harps while we walk on clouds with halos over our heads. It's an awesome place full of activity and song. The streets themselves are paved with pure gold, clear as crystal.
  
By the way, Heaven is NOT angels with halos strumming harps on clouds. Heaven is full of music, with everyone doing things assigned to them, praising God, and spending an eternity having a blast! The place is so awesome that even things considered valuable here on Earth are used as building materials - streets of gold and Pearly Gates, for example.
+
If you sincerely want to know God, say this prayer: ''God, I admit that I have sinned and gone against you. I am sorry for doing that and want to turn away from it. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to not sin again. I believe that your Son, Jesus, died for my sins and then rose from the dead three days later. I make him Lord and Savior of my life. Please send me your Holy Spirit so I can live for you. I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.''
  
So don't let people with bad attitudes towards Christianity give you the wrong impression. God is not all about smiting sinners and torturing people for eternity, nor is he about a long list of do's and don't's. I hope I explained it all well enough for you.
+
If you prayed that and really meant it, send me a message. I can probably help you figure out where to go from there.

==More About Me==
I'm a part time maintenance worker for McDonald's whose main role is cleaning the dining are during the lunch hours about 15-20 hours a week. I attend Independence Community college. Currently I'm a part time student but I want to increase that. I'll likely be taking most classes online which makes it easier to do things on my own schedule.

Currently I'm a full time student. I take mostly online classes which makes it easier for me to maintain my normal work and play schedule, since I can do the work in my bedroom and just submit assignments.
  
My favorite TV shows, outside of Christian television, are the ''Star Trek'' series (except ''Star Trek: Enterprise''), ''Ben 10: Ultimate Alien'', ''Meerkat Manor'' ''The Colony'', and ''Naruto: Shippuden''. I have a wide variety of musical interests which encompass most Western genres except jazz. I am especially fond of techno and variations thereof. My favorite bands are Hillsong London, Chris Tomlin and Newsboys. My hobbies include computer programming and writing science fiction. I maintain a personal website for programming practice and other things, http://shawntc.x10hosting.com. My ultimate programming goal is to make a multiplayer strategy game like Starfleet Commander although it would be significantly different from this. I've learned almost everything I need to know. The only part that would be a problem is the graphics. I'm not a good drawer.

===Moderating Style===
 +
(This is a bit of introspection.) I'd like to think that when it comes to administrating and moderating the wiki, I'm a pretty laissez-faire person. In other words, I'm generally hands-off. If someone blatantly spams I'll revert the mess without making a fuss about it. If someone makes a page or edit that I find odd, I'll ask them about it then take action accordingly. When someone is a major help to the wiki I give them a thank you. Otherwise, you don't really see too much from me. I used to be a natural leader but nowadays I prefer to do grunt work whenever someone needs it. Virtually all of the cosmetic changes that have occurred on here starting in late 2010 were made by [[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]], while [[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] has done an extensive job of organizing the alliances and keeping the place clean lately.

==Goals==

For Uni2, I plan on being much less active. I want to:
 +
*Fill all 8 colony slots.
 +
*Get a moon on my homeworld, and another one on another planet.
 +
*Build an Oracle and two warp gates.
 +
*Unlock everything.
 +
*Build a Zeus.

*Build a Hephaestus.

'''January - 19 February 2010:''' [[Nobunaga's_Overachieving_Bastards_(NOB)|Nobunaga's Overachieving Bastards]], a training alliance where I can ask questions and receive help from experienced players. The former leader was once the leader of Empire. I don't plan on being in the alliance forever, just long enough for me to get stable footing.
