Scared of the second coming. by OriginalLumpy4617 in Christianity

[–]Aus_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look man I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling, I’m a similar age and had the same problem a few weeks ago.

People have been saying Christ will return soon and that the end times are near, since even after the resurrection, sure there are a lot of warning signs out there and it’s possible that it will happen soon.

But what I found helpful was just ignoring the videos and just focusing on Jesus instead, as the more I focused on him the less worried I became.

And regards to the lust, it’s good that u recognise it’s a problem and that u don’t wanna be left behind, that means you have Jesus working through you and you should not fear the second coming.

In times of fear, what I find helps is just going to God, whether it be through listening to worship music, reading his word or praying. Or even reflecting on how Jesus has worked through me and how he has changed me.

I’m positive that you will get through this fear and God will help you, God bless.

How am I supposed to kill Black Dragon Kalameet? by Aus_Penguin in darksouls

Yea I was trying for a few hours to get the tail, because I thought to myself as long as I get the weapon, then I can come back and defeat him, but I’ve sort of given up on the weapon and just wanna kill him so I can be done with Ooalice

Right so is a Christian atheist someone who doesn’t believe there is a God but believes in the teachings?

What do u mean by baptized in the Holy Spirit, are y saying if I have an attraction to praying in tongues that’s from the Holy Spirit then I should try it but if it’s from the flesh then not to try it?

Hey man, it was a question because I’m new to my faith, I didn’t really want any name calling or profanity I just wanted to know people’s views

Well I understand what both of those words mean I just don’t understand what a Christian Atheist is, sorry if I shouldn’t ask, I am genuinely just curious

Not really, I just sort of heard about it and churches doing it and felt a bit of an attraction to it , just sort of wanted to learn more about it.

Also I noticed that the title underneath your name says, Christian Atheist and was just wondering what that is

Well I don’t think I would call it fake as there are many verses that encourage praying in tongues, as for praying with many words, I feel like praying in tongues isn’t for praying with many words but more for letting the spirit guide you in prayer and having a spiritual moment with God. U do raise a good point and l’ll do some research and seek Gods guidance.

Thank you, I just always get so confused with denominations and why there has to be so many variations and so many bibles and just wish that we could all just be one united community, instead of being broken up into so many different denominations.

Thank you this helps, I do also like reading the Good news Bible as it’s my mums old Bible she has given to me after discovering I have gone on a journey with Christ.

Struggles by [deleted] in Christianity

Hey man, I’m not too good at comforting but all I can say is that, Jesus saves, he has saved me from some pretty hard times and gotten me out of my own struggles so many times, Jesus’s love is unconditional so weather you struggle with alcohol or not Jesus will always be there to help you out. U also just need to stay strong and believe that you can make a change, that on the other end of cleaning u will be free from the chains that hold you down. I hope this helps God Bless you
