My friend is on the brink of believing in God. He used to do a lot of drugs and his mother killed herslef so he and his family have been through rough times recently.
All the years I've known him I've made it known that I believe in God. He's always been iffy about God but has never outright denied his existence.
I would'nt say my friend is necessarily redpilled but ever since I've known him I've been 100% honest about my personal beliefs about the holocaust, 9/11, sandy hook, things of that nature. My friend sees how people with fame and fortune seem to behavior in particular ways. Specifically he mentions rappers that do the Illuminati signalling shit. Also, he realizes that only a select few can become famous and rich. He believes that the vast majority of those with high wealth and fame probably had to do something horrible to recieve that fame. Something like making a deal with the devil to trade their soul for money, fame, and sucess.
We actually had a discussion about this. I told him it is impossible to genuinely sell your soul because your soul belongs to God and no one can take it away. I told my friend that yes, it is possible to physically write out a contract and conduct a ritual and you may believe that you have given your soul (and if you participated in any sort of spirit cooking, abuse caught on camera, agreeing/forced to be molested by a hollywood elite to become famous, other fucked up shit that the elites do) then you may as well have sold your soul, not literally, but metaphorically, you sold your soul to whatever agents (jews, globalists, illuminati, whatever floats your boat- you get the idea).
That was just to give you guys some perspective on where my friend is coming from. In a nutshell, he knows it's entirely possible that in order to be famous or rich in this world you may have to do some fucked shit. He sees all they "coincidences" with the famous elites such as signalling to the illuminati, the elites all having the same opinions, and just the fact that rich and famous elites are entirely fake, almost robotic, due to not living a normal life or being brainwashed/abused from a young age.
Recently he told me:
"I think I might kinda believe in God dude. Cuss since all the Satanism and Illuminati shit is true, well, since Satan used to be an angel, that means God has to exist as well."
I think this is a great starting point. But how can I get my friend to see God's existence besides just because "Satan exists so therefore God has to exist". I want my friend to see that God exists externally of Satan. I want my friend to realize Christ's sacrifice for all humankind and that he can be saved if only he believes.
I am close to helping my friend take the right steps towards believing in Christ and therefore he can claim the gift of salvation.
I need to have a serious sitdown with him and try to explain Christs' sacrafice. What else should I tell him. This is my first time in my life explaining God to someone in this way. I have tried this with friendships in the past, but it seems like if they reject my attempt to get them to look at God differently, it destroys the friendship. I have had friendships ruined because I kept pressing God on them and for whatever reason it made my friends hate me for it.
So fellow Christians, how should I begin to explain all of this to my friend to help him see?
