I've been left handed for as long as I can remember and I don't know if I have to change or not. I'm a new christian and I'm worried I'll go to hell for being left handed. :(:groupray:

...this is a prank.

God is not watching over you desiring to punish you: There may be a hint of mockery in your words; but the truth behind them shows that you dont think God should send people to hell for who they are;

All i can say is BE who God wants and desires for you to be:
There is truth in the world because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross; and there is breath in the Spirit of God to expell misguided thoughts and prideful accusations; rather indirectly or not; we need God to be who He plans for us to be;
and in this light; we dont have to worry about walking on egg shells; we let the Spirit take control; and we live in the light because God is light; not because we can be rewarded or punished for being left or right handed; for i tell you the truth; outside of Christ; both hands are still bound by the sway of the flesh:

So except Jesus; let Him cleanse you; let Him show you what holiness truly breaths; for in this our words shall exress integrity and truth

I am left-handed. There is nothing about God rejecting left-handers in the Bible.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
(Romans 8:1)
Only condition for salvation is faith in Christ. No small print, special conditions or legalese in the Bible.

I'm very left-handed. I do almost everything with my left hand as dominant.

Years ago there was a conscious effort to force all children to be right-handed. If a child would reach for something with its left hand they would take the object and put it in the child's right hand. Teachers would even tie the left hand to immoblize it so that their left-handed students would be forced to write with their right hand.

God loves you regardless of your condition, left hand or right hand, your social status or even birth right.

Just enjoy the Lord, as the lord prepares the best for you, intends to prosper you, not to harm you, but lead you to come closer to him, to enjoy Christ's Kingdom.

All your special experiences or even temporary insults can mature you to spring for others.

That's a superstition. Being left handed has nothing to do with salvation.

You need to tape your left hand behind your back with duct tape...or better yet get someone to do it for you!! Only use your right hand...even reading the bible turn the pages with your right hand...
Do this for at least 16 weeks, if you can write with your right hand then God has saved you, if not well sorry but then you may as well hope in your car and drive to Hell, Michigan | Come to Hell!. Depending on your location you may want to make a detour to Hell's Gate Airtram in the Fraser Canyon and then go back south to Hell.

Happy Newyear :)

I am assuming you are serious here. If so, your difficulty may have something to do with the Latin word for "left" which is "sinister." Our English word "sinister" has acquired the meaning of 'evil' from its use in ancient Rome. We shake with our right hands upon meeting someone new. This is interpreted as a friendly and welcoming gesture. It was not always so. In Rome it was a neutralizing of mutual distrust; if you held each others fighting hands, you could feel safe. But if you were left handed, i.e., sinister, you could not be trusted this way.
As regards lefthandedness and the Bible, read Judges 20:16 and 3:15. God chose them for special purposes.
I am lefthanded.
Also, the right side of your body is controlled by the left side of your brain and vice versa. Therefore only lefthanded people are in their right minds! :)
