I'm quitting CS2.
I joined this community in 2014 and started trading the OG way: "from nothing to a knife."
It became a hobby, a purpose that kept growing and eventually turned into some sort of work.
I had the chance to own most of the rarest items, the famous blue gems, katos, and everything I never thought would be possible, without adding a single penny into the game.
Later, I came here to X and started making content about skins, updates, and the in-game economy. It was a good run and helped me a lot financially.
But since last year, everything has changed in my life.
Nowadays, I don't feel the need or the will to make content here on X about CS2. I still like and play the game. I still own skins and will keep doing so.
I just won't be posting or making content about it here anymore. Nothing against this community.
I'd probably consider working with something related to gaming or even a business related to CS2, in the areas of marketing, creativity, and copywriting, which is what I already work with nowadays.
But here on this account, I will start posting about something that fascinates me much more than anything I've ever known. And maybe it can also spark some interest in someone else...
Surprisingly, after being extremely rational and a devoted atheist my whole life, for some reason that I cannot explain, and after trying to find meaning and purpose in all sorts of ways and scientific theories, I've been strongly pulled towards the only truth that matters and that has made everything in this life make sense: Jesus Christ.
Yeah, it's literally all real. It's not even faith to me now, it's a fact.
And it's not about religion or anything related to the modern worldly Church. Real Christian theology is fascinating, and it's something I'd love to share a bit with everyone here.
And trust me, we all need Jesus, especially those who don't feel like they do or have an aversion to it. I've been there and I know how it feels.
That's why I'll try to share some of what I've learned and gone through this past year.
In a way, I will keep on trading... trading deception for truth.
Thank you all for the support here all these years. I've met a lot of great friends and will still be around for everyone.
And to those I had disagreements or beef with, I am sorry. No hard feelings with anyone. All good.

To me, one of the most glorious moments in all creation is a few words Jesus said while dying on the cross:
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Everyone who has wrestled with God relates to it. And knows it wasn’t just a lament.
He was citing David’s Psalm 22.
David starts it as a cry for help. Feeling literally forgotten by God.
But that was just how he felt. Not the truth.
He was never forgotten. He just realized it later.
This is how David ends that Psalm:
“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.
All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him — those who cannot keep themselves alive.
Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.
They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!”
That was a glorious declaration of victory. Humiliating the death He was about to face, willingly, for us.
This is our God. Your Creator.
To those that suffer for Christ, don’t worry, David made a hardcore Psalm to you all, about His second coming:
Psalm 110
“The Lord says to my Lord:
Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.
The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, Rule in the midst of your enemies!
Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb.
The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
He will drink from a brook along the way, and so he will lift his head high.”
The more I get closer to God, the less death scares me.
That comes from an intense wrestle with Him.
That’s how He forges a real man.
It was the same for every biblical figure. It won’t be different to us.
We cannot escape the furnace.
There is no heaven without carrying our Cross.
That’s a harsh biblical truth most churches hide.
Divine love is purifying fire.
And the more I burn, the more death feels like a blessing.

Quite unfortunate, but praising God doesn’t make us imune to accidents, free-will and laws of nature are actually real.
Or you wanted a God that would intervene in every occasion? That wouldn’t make us free, would it?
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
It’s funny…
People love life as long as they stay free to do whatever they want.
They’ll even accept “God” as a Creator who just lets them enjoy their time.
But when God gets named Jesus…
Things change.
Now there are laws, rules, and a Judge who decides what is right and wrong.
That’s usually when people deny Him.
Deep down, they can’t accept a truth that confronts their own version of reality.
They’ll take a God who doesn’t speak or impose.
They won’t take the One who does.
@Bible_Contra Not just feelings. Have you been through a physical and intense spiritual warfare for over a year? I did. Maybe you need to go through one to also see the truth.
I don't need your opinion. What I've been through proved that everything in the Bible is true. Yeshua is the Messiah. Period.
About the points you made, I disagree. Most of the citations will happen in his second coming. You are just being a modern Pharisee, you probably would've crucified your Creator as well.
@MrJiavo@Bible_Contra Oh they tremble, I attest it. It's the only name that does it, but the autorithy grows with time. It is earned from Him. Not by us, we just "borrow" it from Him and use it in His name.
"And the evil spirit answered and said, ‘Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?’"
@Bible_Contra I've felt and been through enough myself. It is not even faith to me, it's a fact: Yeshua. You want more answers? Ask God in prayer to reveal them to you. Ask for discernment but be humble to accept it if it confronts your "truth".
God is NOT:
- The Universe
- Manifestation
- Vibration
- Physical matter
- An extraterrestrial
He is Spirit.
Uncreated. Eternal. Outside time and space.
He revealed Himself as “I Am Who I Am.”
And He came in the flesh as Yeshua, Jesus Christ. The Son. Fully God.
The name is for us. So we can call on Him.
He doesn’t even need one.
Written by dozens of people, across more than a thousand years, in different regions, cultures, and three languages.
A book with every reason to fall apart.
Yet it holds together. One story. One problem. One answer.
What are the odds?
100% God.
Have you ever thought about why Jesus is so important?
He is not just a person. Not a free pass into Heaven.
Think about it this way:
Everything that exists was made by God. He is the beginning and the end. He was not created. He just is. Always was. Always will be.
In His nature, He is perfect. Perfectly just. He cannot be unfair.
So it doesn’t matter the size of the sin. Steal a candy or murder someone. Both break His law. You will be judged. You cannot overcome this. There is no loophole in His justice.
The problem is us.
Free will makes evil possible. The Fall makes it our nature. So we sin.
How can a just God receive us?
By taking the punishment Himself. Only an eternal God can bear an eternal debt.
So the Father sends the Son. Jesus Christ. A perfect human, without sin.
He gives His life and pays what we owe.
Now God can forgive and still be just.
But not everyone, automatically. Only those who are IN Christ.
Jesus reconciles us to the Father. He is our advocate.
When you die, there is a trial. The accuser is Satan. The Judge is God. The only one who can absolve you is Christ. There is no other way.
That is why you need Him. Accept Him. Give yourself to Him. Know Him. Live with Him.
Otherwise, when you stand there, He will say: “I never knew you.”
@MrJiavo It's already won. And, gotta be INSANELY PROUD to think that a creature can outsmart and "win" against his Creator... Luficer and his minions are already tasting hell.
Is it a coincidence that politics always leans toward one extreme of masculinity?
It’s either the toxic alpha chad, or the weak, submissive, “liberated” male.
Both are destructive.
In the end, the same enemy wins on both sides. And we all lose.
One of my biggest issues when getting into REAL Christianity was masculinity.
The world and religion completely corrupted what the real divine male is.
The world created males completely led by power, greed, selfishness and lust.
The classic toxic “chad alpha male”.
They seek dominance over everyone, always competing to be above. Pure EGO.
No self-control. Basically animals that can’t tame their instincts.
On the other side, religion completely corrupted the image of Jesus into a weak, submissive and even feminine figure, with no authority, no strength, no courage, no imposition.
That is the human animal instinct completely suppressed.
At one side, you got a toxic male that destroys the world just to have power, women and money.
At the other side, you got a weak male that completely suppresses his masculinity. That male cannot fight and defend the principles that God Himself set. He just accepts it all and calls it forgiveness.
That’s the trap.
The alpha doesn’t forgive. He conquers.
The plaster male doesn’t judge. He calls surrender “peace”.
Both miss Him.
Forgiveness without truth is flight. Forgiveness with authority is the Lamb.
What is the divine male? That’s the real Jesus Christ. And we’ve only seen Him as a lamb, not yet as the lion in the flesh.
The divine male is the strongest and most masculine of it all. Absolute power and strength, with absolute self-control, aimed at SERVING and sacrificing His life for others.
It’s the lamb and the lion together.
And honestly, the world ain’t ready to meet our glorified Creator, Jesus Christ, in His totality.
Once He comes as KING, THE LION, this world, especially fake lukewarm Christians, will call Him THE ANTICHRIST.
The trap is being set for it. Cooked by evil for centuries, corrupting Jesus’ true nature.
Don’t fall for it.
