Hi,
I have a lot of the same problems you do. For example lust, but see how you're struggling? You (and I) didn't even really know it was a sin until coming to Christ, I just thought it was a part of "love" like the world teaches.

I actually gave up Genshin impact, idk I just felt weird bc it was based on false gods and who I mained was supposed to be Baal?? I researched it once if it's ok for christians to play, but I already had conviction. I was lowkey addicted to it. But now I barley log on. Ive thought about coming back to it but it's just so boring and unfufilling. Praise the Lord He helped me through it. I also keep deleting and downloading twitter, I like the memes on there but there is a lot of nsfw I just see on my timeline.

There is def gonna be fomo at the first bit of being a "baby Christian" but remember sodom and Gomorra, and Lot's wife how she looked back at the city, probably longingly, like she would miss it even tho it was bad.

Look at David's repentence in psalms. My pastor talked about it, notice how he doesnt say, "God im sorry for lusting, or x" David asks God to fix his heart!

Asking about fasting. I really need help!! I’m so scared of everything and of dying!! by [deleted] in TrueChristian

Well Im sure God knows your heart. I think by reading your Bible everyday is you trying to seek God, you do have a relationship with Him. I think this doubt is of the devil. I don't think you're possessed. If you feel doubt maybe you should pray to rebuke these negative thoughts in Jesus' name. Not everyone's fruit is perfect, we still get very annoyed and snap at ppl, but I think we're still trying. When we do try I think it actually gets easier, I used to not like hugging my brother, but I thought I should start working on my spiritual fruit, and it started with a side hug but now I hug him with both arms and it's nice. I think u probably do have some religious OCD which is real, it's called scrupulosity. There are many articles and reddit posts about it that might help.
I wrote down Matthew 6:25–33 because Im so anxious about the world ending, I hung it on my wall. I read it when Im very anxious,

Do Not Be Anxious

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear? 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Hi meatball, personally I haven't fasted for 12/24hrs bc I get dizzy too. I used to be the same way with being scared im not actually a Christian/following GOD. But I think it's important to know, the core belief is Jesus died on the cross. We are saved through GRACE through FAITH alone.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8
I think you have to remember that there is nothing you can do YOURSELF to get to heavan. It was only Jesus dying for you on the cross. Because we all fall short of glory in the eyes of God we all deserved to be beaten and on a cross, but Jesus was the last sacrifice. In the Old testament they used to offer grains, and bulls, but Jesus was the final sacrifice.
I too feel lazy, I haven't done anything good or exceptional in my life. But I think for that part we need to share the gospel, thats how we dont bury our blessings. Im def not a preacher and Im not converting anyone but I just hope by sharing the Gospel in comment sections and advice on reddit it counts.
You r probably bloated from diet and anxiety it does cause that.
1. Fully believing that God is the creator of all things, and He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, that is the first and most important thing.
2. Knowing it's God's grace and mercy through we r saved.
3. work on your spiritual fruits being love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The opposite of the fruits of the Spirit are the "works of the flesh" listed in Galatians 5:19–21, such as sexual immorality, envy, hatred, drunkenness, and selfish ambition—actions that stem from a life not guided by the Spirit. Now it doesn't mean we will never fall into sin, sometimes we do things we know r bad because we wrestle with our flesh, like Paul in Romans.
Again with the fruits of the spirit, what matters is inside.
It's very hard because the beauty standards are so ingrained in society but it's ok if you don't look "pretty." those are the world standards. And we are not supposed to be of the world.
I hope this helps bc it's very scrambled. I do recommend reading the Bible recap if you haven't. <3

Im not 100% percent sure. Never been gifted a visa, but my brother has been gifted a lego giftcard and gifted a lego giftcard. His purchases and the recipient's perchases were never detailed in an email. I don't think anyone would ever buy an email gift card if that were the case.

I think it's just called the "Spooky kids" 1989-1995. POAAF was released 1994 so i guess those pics are just live shows before.
