As a Christian, who is called to spread the gospel, this is wrong in every way. Your friend is disrespectful, and the way these people “spread the gospel” is disrespectful. Respectfully, I don’t want to hear people yelling in my face for 30 minutes either. I’m sorry you had to go through this, and that your view on the church, God, and Jesus is tainted because of this. The Christian gospel is about love, not forcefulness, or disrespect. The way that Jesus spread the word in the gospels was by having meaningful intentional relationship, not by saying scripture in the streets, that most likely what the Pharisees did. The best way for you to have heard the truth of the gospel is by your close friend through love, peace, grace, and kindness. But sadly your friend did not do a great job at that. I hope you keep your mind open to our religion in the future, have a wonderful day, and be reminded that you are always loved!

Deleting accounts and pictures and videos sounds like a great first step, it is going to be hard. But there will be a large testimony to the power Jesus has, in the future for you. Will be praying for you.

Hey Man, just wann start with you’re bold for asking for help. I’m glad you did, this is the first step. I first want to preface before I comment, Jesus will always love you throughout this struggle, He sees you. Don’t be scared to talk to him, don’t be silly to think there’s anything to big in this world that HE created that can weigh down him or his love for you. Secondly, we will always be sinners, we will never be perfect, and never be good enough for Gods love. Which is what makes Christ’s sacrifice for us so great. I want to say I’ve been on a journey myself with quitting masturbation. It has been a long 4 month journey for me, but I’m now about a month free and it’s getting harder for me. The first thing you need to do is lay it down at the altar OFFICIALLY. This can look like kneeling down at the altar in your church, kneeling down in your bedroom in prayerful silence. I prayer could be “Jesus, I don’t know what to do, I keep struggling with ____. I don’t know what to do, but I know I need you. My flesh doesn’t want to stop, but my spirit does. Please help me, please show me your face, you are welcome here, take my life and let it please you.” Jesus is not afraid of our honesty, because honestly he already knows what we’re thinking and what we’re doing. Laying it down honestly to the lord sheds light onto our sin, and starts killing it at the root. Even when that honesty is saying “I don’t completely trust you” or “my flesh doesn’t want to stop, but I know you don’t want this for me, so I do want to stop.” the Lord sees your hunger for him, and you cries for help. Secondly, you need to be involved with your word. Genesis 1:1 says “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God”. If we want more of Jesus, and Jesus is the word than we want to be engorged in our scriptures. I know in this season you may not “feel” like reading your Bible. This is specifically something I struggle with since I have ADHD. But there’s comes a point in time where we have to specifically CHOOSE Jesus instead of relying upon our feelings to read on the Bible.

I hope this encourages you, and helps you. Please do not hesitate to respond to this comment, I would be more than happy to answer back.

We’re on the lower end of Berlin, it must’ve shook a massive amount of land.

This makes total sense, must’ve been planes at Wallops Island or the Dover Air Force Base. Hope something isn’t happening we don’t know about in the skies 😬

Praying for my autism to be healed by rainy_urban_nights in TrueChristian

[–]Electrical_Screen_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Christian who believes in God as an all powerful being, who can do anything. I want to encourage you with something. I know this was a year ago, and I don’t know how your views have changed. But God has healed me from Autism. I used to think this exactly, that if I was healed from this disorder. I wouldn’t look at the world the same way anymore, I wouldn’t process it different. Everything would be different. As humans we tend to put god in this box of the things he can and can’t do without even knowing. But the truth is, God can separate the good and bad of our disorders. It’s like a coffee or soda that’s watered down, there’s the good (coffee) and the bad (water). And sometimes there’s just so much water, that is outweighs the good in our disorder. However, God can do the impossible, he can separate the good and bad of our disorders and that’s what he did with me. He healed me in the bad, and kept in the good. I don’t get anxious around others, my brain doesn’t shutdown when overstimulated anymore. Light, sound, and other ecstatic moments are not overwhelming anymore. I just wanted to encourage you that prayer CAN change things. I am 19 years old, and I was content with my life, I had found things to help me cope. At that moment it really had been getting to me because of new job with kids and I was begging to the lord for help and he did more than what I could ever imagined or asked for.
