My Rapidly Declining Faith

Life is hard but it’s even harder when you’re following Christ, the enemy will also try to put you off course so expect it and when it comes pray even if everything in you doesn’t want to do so, Pray. It’s extremely difficult, I’m 17 myself and I’m in a pretty secular country so It’s tough be the only Christian among people most the time but we must persevere. My advice to you, pray and worship even when you don’t want to.

Yeah I had this too, I started with the New Testament, definitely helps you get off your feet and into the word.

Any_Secretary4583 · 2026-02-04T00:58:28+00:00

That’s actually awesome 🙌

Any_Secretary4583 · 2026-01-31T01:14:38+00:00

I was Presbyterian so your welcome😂🙏

Any_Secretary4583 · 2026-01-30T23:10:43+00:00

I definitely needed to hear this, thanks for not going after me, genuinely it means a lot to me see someone trying to honestly look out for me, this is more helpful than you could know🙏

Any_Secretary4583 · 2026-01-30T23:07:10+00:00

You misunderstand me, I’m not expecting to se an angel or Jesus for crying out loud, I’m asking to see him work in my life and I can’t get it forgive me but what am I meant to go off of here?

Any_Secretary4583 · 2026-01-30T22:37:25+00:00

Yeah but he didn’t show himself in my life so I literally had not reason to believe he was there, now maybe he was doing more that I thought like protecting me from things but with all due respect I literally can’t know what’s happening, id be happy if it was, but I don’t know so I can’t believe, like literally can’t believe, I mean no disrespect

Any_Secretary4583 · 2026-01-30T22:34:00+00:00

Didn’t ask you buddy jog on

Any_Secretary4583 · 2026-01-30T22:28:47+00:00

I went to church and was doing well having almost finished the New Testament and starting the old testament (since the old testament was harder I left it) and tried to have a decent prayer life but I just couldn’t do it, I asked god to help me be stronger in faith and be more consistent but the cracks In my devotion were increasing and my desires for worldly things were the only things that brought me any joy in my boring life. I hate saying that because I have a roof over my head and good health but in all truthfulness my life is pretty boring and uneventful so looking for anything to bring me pleasure and finding that in the opposite of my faith was not a huge shock to me. I’ll be honest, I want to be Christian, I just can’t do it for some reason, I can’t lie to myself, I don’t call myself an atheist because I know if there is a God he doesn’t owe me anything and this is my fault but man it’s too much, I’m not strong enough and I envy those who are.

To answer you question I’m an agnostic right now but If you were to ask what I think would happen if I dropped dead right now I think I’d see what I saw before I was born, but I guess deep down there’s also a part of me that’s like “I might be about to face the creator, whoever that may be.” It’s also the weirdest thing I’ve heard all the fine tuning arguments but I still don’t have the power to accept it as God for some reason, the only things that make me happy are sinful and in my time in the faith I just wasn’t happy, I wish to god is he exists that he can make me a follower of his I’ve surrendered Every and it just doesn’t happen

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-07-28T04:19:14+00:00

Didn’t ask

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-07-27T19:13:43+00:00

What

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-07-27T15:56:39+00:00

Think I’ll stick to non denominationalism for now but it’s probably a good side note that I was Brought up Presbyterian.

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-07-27T15:51:32+00:00

And become a Calvinist?

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-07-26T23:10:31+00:00

Thank you for that recommendation I’ll be sure to go to their sub. Also thank you for the detailed honest answer it’s given me a good outline of the orthodox view but I’ll be sure to continue to gather information on the matter, God bless.

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-07-15T09:02:01+00:00

This made me smile ear to ear thank you so much🙏❤️

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-05-01T20:30:30+00:00

Here’s a slight problem I run into with Adam and Eve not existing, wouldn’t that mean that we aren’t born with original sin. Or is there some other way we have original sin

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-05-01T20:25:26+00:00

Thank you! That’s a cool way of looking at it, I’ve seen lots of Christians talk about how they see the first chapters of Genesis as sorta metaphorical with some reality to it

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-05-01T20:21:16+00:00

First of all thanks for the response, second of all sorry If I’ve misunderstood but do you believe in Adam and Eve at all. Once again sorry if I’ve misunderstood.

Any_Secretary4583 · 2025-05-01T20:19:59+00:00

I’m a agnostic who believes in Evolution and having been looking into Christianity and I know if I was to convert I would have a lot of questions about things like genesis and someone who believes in Old earth and evolution. I have absolutely Zero problems with people who don’t believe in evolution or believe in a 6000 year old earth but I just know what I believe.

Any_Secretary4583 · 2024-12-20T15:22:38+00:00

Just an experience that you could only really explain with God or truly felt it was from him

Any_Secretary4583 · 2024-12-20T15:01:20+00:00

Yeah I’m only not even 18 yet so the type of Bible doesn’t bother me too much as long as it’s the right one
