| Anonymous Coward User ID: 36427522 United States06/08/2013 08:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please pray for me, GLP. I was once a firm believer in Christ but several months ago something happened and I gave up my faith. I became consumed with a burning hatred towards God and anything related to Christianity or religion period. I ripped up every religious book I owned, burned pictures of my baptism and baptism certificates and broke crosses and statues in an attempt to eradicate God and Christ from my life. Quoting: :.: It can't just be a coincidence that after that happened my life completely fell apart. I lost my job, my landlord sold my family's house that we were renting to own right out from under us forcing my aunt, mom, little brother and myself to move into a very small travel trailer. My mental health is rapidly deteriorating and I'm depressed, scared, agitated and paranoid all the time. I've become a jealous monster and have started to push my girlfriend away with my insecurities. It seems like nothing but bad things have happened since I turned away from my faith. I'd wandered from the faith plenty of times and explored other religions and schools of thought but never have I left with such violence and hatred in my heart. Now I can't even pick up a bible or hear a Christian song on the radio without getting furious and quickly pushing the book away or turning the song off and anytime I hear someone pray I start getting blasphemous thoughts in my head and start shouting obscenities to God in my thoughts to drown out the sound of the prayer. I feel like I'm doomed. Am I beyond forgiveness? Have I opened the door to a demon? Please pray for me, for my family and for my girlfriend. Nothing you can do/think disgusts Jesus... you are one of his... remember that. I'm sorry about all your personal struggles.. you will be in my prayers. Maybe you would enjoy this- (it is more than just a song, there is also commentary) [link to www.youtube.com] i know you said christian music has been pissing you off.. but this is good, i suggest you listen to it for real |

From that song i posted: "God knew you were going to be messy, christ knew you were going to be messy, god knows you are going to screw up often, he knows you are going to be drawn to things that are wicked, thats the point of the cross.. your going to fail, your going to stumble, your going to feel dirty and awkward...the whole point of the cross of christ is there be this mighty picture of his love in pursuit of you.. despite you. So the cross is necessary because of you, but is also the picture of how far god is willing to go because he loves you" |

(OP) User ID: 26545152 United States06/08/2013 08:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Never. You're not bigger or more powerful than God, and God's will is that you be saved. Step 1) You're saved, relax. Step 2) Say a prayer of thanks for what you've gone through and where you are right now. You don't have to understand it, but say it. Step 3) Thank God for the days and events coming up, because you know they'll be a blessing. Did you notice the lack of begging for anything? That's intentional. You've already got everything. Be thankful for it, and watch it multiply.  Thank you, Comedian. I feel like a fool because I really do have a lot to be grateful and thankful for but I haven't acknowledged nor given thanks and praise to God. I have been incredibly selfish and ungrateful. I've broken his heart and positioned myself as an enemy and not a friend. I guess its true like that verse talks about how even when we were enemies of God, Jesus died for us. Thank you for your encouragement. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1194370 United States06/08/2013 09:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The LORD will chasten his children, OP. For our benefit. He does not chasten those who are not his, but those who are his he will. To raise them rightly. To teach them so they may grow up and choose good. So they do not continue to make the same mistakes over and over and grieve the Holy Spirit which dwells within the body. These are perilous times, OP. we would all do well to work out our salvation and ensure we are fond at peace with God. He will come upon this generation as a thief. Do not let him come upon you as a thief. Repent and do the first works. Return to him and he will return to you. Do not seek the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye and the lust of the world. Separate yourself from these things and lean upon him for strenght and he will renew your soul and restore to you the former things. But do not deceive yourself, OP. every man reaps what he sows. So sow good things and approved things and let God give you a bountiful harvest. Payers for your soon restoration, OP. |

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?' Hebrews 12:5-7 OP have you ever considered that your misfortune is God chastising (disciplining) you for your disobedience.If you are born again God see's us as sons/daughters,and he will regretfully discipline us when we step out of line to get our attention. True fathers and mothers discipline their sons and daughters out of love,not anger and hatred as so many try to claim nowadays.He does it because he loves you,and wants you to come back to him OP.If you pitched a tantrum,called your father names,and broke his things wouldn't you expect to be reprimanded by any responsible father?God is no different my friend. |
