Answer 1

It takes all of us for redemption.

It's happenned a few times.  I really appreciated it.

YES. ME.

Answer 4

yes, ma'am. My wife saved me. She brought to me enlightenment that i had not seen before. i told her she saved me from the mundane and from doing things i felt i had to do instead of things i want to do.

Answer 5

Physically when I was a kid at the church camp I thought I knew how to swim in a river that flowed near by.  I was 11 or 12 then.  And I dove right in and realized almost too late that I had no idea at all how to swim.  But I kept my presence of mind and held my breath and sank to the bottom with my knees bent and then I pushed my way to the surface of the water.  And in between that maneuver I yelled "Help" "I can't swim".  And this big kid named William Thomas said "What you can't swim?" and I nodded the next time up" and he pulled me to the shore.

I did not lose my fear of the water at all. Instead the next week I learned how to swim both over and under the water.

I have had many saviors over the course of my life.  And ONE also.

Answer 6

I haven't in any big way.  And I certainly have been hoping to be saved, hoping it for most of my life.  In fact, I've actually been refusing to live my life unless somebody came along and saved me.  And when one has that attitude, which is a very childish one, one is never saved.  Because we all need saving, but we also need to become adults, and that means growing out of childish notions.  So life offers us a deal--it will save us, if we will grow up.  So far, I've not been willing to make that deal.

Answer 7

Yes, Jesus saved me and I am eternally grateful to Him.

Answer 8

Yep, by Michael Shermer and Bertrand Russell.  Upon reading Shermer's "Why People Believe Weird Things" and Russell's "Why I Am Not a Christian," the seed of reason sprouted and I started on a journey of knowledge, understanding, peace, and freedom from bullshit.

Answer 9

I guess my Dad saved me.  When I tried to kill myself.  But I didn't really want to be saved at the time.  Now I'm glad he saved me.  I would have missed out on a lot if he hadn't done it.  I wish someone would save me from poverty though.  :p

Answer 10

It would have been nice but no.It never happened.I was lost most of my life and it took me along time to grow-up.(sorry)

Answer 11

To answer your leading question, I 'd say absolutely yes. However, by being religious, I'd always give the first credit to God. He wanted to save me, so he furnished the grounds for somebody to do so.  

Answer 12

Yea, my dad saved me from myself back in my late twenties from anger and frustration that was comsuming my life at the time.

Divorced, lost house and property, only seeing my girls half the time.

He taught me how much I was hurting the people who loved me by not letting go of my resentment.

Life-saving lesson learned!

Answer 13

I was saved by the birth of my son for it, in time lead me to God.
