Re: Christians, please help me. :(
God LOVES you, He died in YOUR place, knowing every sin you will commit, every thought you will ever think.

His love for you is beyond comprehension.

Just talk to Him, pour your heart out to him...


And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Thank you for sharing that scripture. I also like that one about how God separates us from our sin as far as the east is from the west or something like that. What do you suggest for someone whose thought life is undisciplined and spiraling out of control. How does one really take a thought captive in Christ?

Re: Christians, please help me. :(
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 including several bibles and a Tanakh, burned pictures of my baptism and baptism certificates and broke crosses and statues in an attempt to eradicate God and Christ from my life.

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.
 Quoting: :.:


'And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41365259

I disagree.. the God jesus spoke of, would open his arms, and love his son, regardless of what he said or did...

are you really telling this person the trials and suffering they are going through is god chastening them? that is sickening.

so many people claim to know god yet they speak such ignorance

If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off ? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about the one sheep than about the 99 that did not wander off .
Jesus. Matthew 21 : 12 and 13

What amazing love expressed . And He loves you and is longing for your return as well .

Hey OP.. just don't think this isn't worth living anymore...

God would not have made you if he didn't have something amazing in store for you..

trust me, the fact we are communicating like this proves that god has something awesome working inside of you.

i know in the last few years i have thought about ending all this suffering and taking the easy way out.. but God has intervened every time.

a small sign

a song

that phone call from a friend when you needed it

that stranger next to you on an airplane

another poster on GLP saying something

etc

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36427522


My grandmother tells me that all the time that God has big plans for me. Then I think of all the copious amounts of sin in my life and habitual sin in my flesh and wonder how on earth could God use me except to show others what NOT to do ("don't be like this guy!") you know? I like to think he has plans to prosper not to harm like that Jeremiah verse but its so hard to accept, my friend. Thank you though.

I needed to hear this. Right around the time that I turned my back on God I began hurting myself also. Cutting, punching myself, causing other self inflicted injuries, taking copious amounts of over the counter sleep medication. I'm not saying this to garner sympathy and in reality I know it just makes me sound very weak and foolish but I really had lost the will to live. That is why I made this post. To help me find FAITH again. I don't think Faith without works is dead but I feel like my life without faith is certainly close to it.

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’


These verses contradict the whole saved by faith alone false doctrine. They are directed at those who profess Christ.

His love for you is beyond comprehension.

And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

I agree about writing your prayers down. I'm not so sure of writing my thoughts down. I struggle with lust and those types of thoughts and habitual urges and cravings of the flesh. I'd like to conquer those parts of my nature since I never was able to overcome those things. Its never too late to turn over a new leaf. Thank you for the suggestion!

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.
 Quoting: :.:


Sounds like Demonic oppression may be even possession. Command satan in the name of Jesus Christ to leave you and say this prayer asking Jesus into your heart. Peace

"Personal Prayer Of Salvation"

O Lord, I know that You are waiting here,
For me to let You come into my life.
I know that You are knocking on the door,
And now I pray that You will enter in.
* * *
I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Re: Christians, please help me. :(
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 including several bibles and a Tanakh, burned pictures of my baptism and baptism certificates and broke crosses and statues in an attempt to eradicate God and Christ from my life.

'And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41365259

I disagree.. the God jesus spoke of, would open his arms, and love his son, regardless of what he said or did...

are you really telling this person the trials and suffering they are going through is god chastening them? that is sickening.

so many people claim to know god yet they speak such ignorance
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36427522


I'm afraid the word of the bible takes precedence over your unbacked claims my friend.

God loves us regardless yes,as a good father will always love his son no matter what.But if you think he will allow or even approve of a back slidden Christians lifestyle you are sorely mistaken.

What kind of loving father would let his kids drink,do drugs,run with the wrong crowd etc,and not reprimand and correct them?The answer should be obvious.

Actually they are right,

Matthew 7:21-23


21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’


These verses contradict the whole saved by faith alone false doctrine. They are directed at those who profess Christ.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41294082

where in that above scripture does it say Faith without works is dead

IT NEVER SAYS THIS IN THE GOSPELS ONCE!!

what if doing the fathers will is living a harmonious life taking care of your loved ones?

stop telling the OP what he must do

he is in a fragile condition

OP, if you need to chat ever - [email protected]

i might not be the most versed bible scholar in the world, but God has def made himself known to me and i know what your going through and i believe Jesus really is working through you no matter how hard it might seem.

God can use the devil to test his children or for other similar devices.God will also ALLOW the devil to kill many Christians and Jews during the great tribulation before he puts a stop to it.But that was his plan all along to purify his end time believers.

Just because someone has been given over to be persecuted by the devil for a time doesn't mean it's not part of Gods will.

It says workers of lawlessness/unrepentant sinners will not enter the kingdom of God.

It talks about those who have faith in the Messiah.

You are a luke warm laodecian, a lawless apostate and you are the kind of person Yeshua was speaking off. You need to actually read the bible

Here, for you,

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:14-16


Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4

James 2:14-26

New King James Version (NKJV)
Faith Without Works Is Dead

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Matthew 5:17-20

King James Version (KJV)

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.


1 John 2:4-6

King James Version (KJV)

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
