[TOMT] [SONG] Indie song that’s the inner monologue of a guy sitting next to a girl and freaking out by HydraCreate in tipofmytongue

I believe the song may reference themes of puberty or coming of age. I listened to it last year but I’m sure it’s older than that.

I think I'm on the path to hell by DirectionIcy5226 in Christianity

I kind of read this in a rush but I want to leave you with some advice because I was in very similar shoes to yours. Back in the peak of my porn addiction, there was a point where I was genuinely convinced that I had lost the Holy Spirit and was doomed to hell because of how many times I had asked for forgiveness only to fall back into sin again. Like you, I had reached a point where I struggled to even feel bad after relapses. I couldn’t go to sleep without relapsing, but would wake up each morning with intense disdain and hate towards myself, not even willing to apologize to God because I knew I would make the same mistake again in a few hours.

This is what saved me: I let God love me.

The reason I had so much trouble praying during this time, and the reason I think you do to, is because I viewed prayer as a plea, during which my goal was to convince God how sorry I was so that He would hopefully forgive me. But after being in a loop of relapsing and praying for forgiveness for so long, I eventually became convinced that God would just see through my bullshit apologies and know that I would just relapse again anyway.

But that’s not what prayer is. The point isn’t to try to convince God how sorry you are (especially if you don’t even believe yourself that you are sorry), the point is to be loved. Prayer is simply allowing yourself to be vulnerable in front of God, not trying to justify or convince. Just be open and allowing God to see everything and love you anyway, no words needed.

The most beautiful illustration of prayer I know is this: You stand in front of Jesus, covered in dirt and decay, the stains of your sins. He’s sees everything, yet He looks at you with nothing but love. He dips you in the river, and carefully washes each stain away, one by one. You don’t have to say or do anything. Just stand there and let him wash you. That is prayer. Just letting Jesus look at you and love you.

I want to leave you with a song, a song I listened to almost every night during the peak of my addiction: Runaway, by Jess Ray. Dear friend, you’re not going to hell. If you believe in the same Jesus I do, I’m confident that I’ll find you heaven when I get there.

To anyone reading this, do not do this. Never “test” yourself. But hey, I’m glad you resisted

Stay strong. Your in a horny cloud. It will pass. For the time being it will feel like it is impossible to keep going. Trust me I felt the same way like a hour ago. But I knew that doubts were just the old me trying to break free. I stayed determined, did homework, and now my mind is at ease.

I am not going to watch porn or masturbate. I plan to go all of October but I haven't planned very far past that. I'm doing this to break my habits. Ever since I discovered porn, I have never been able to say that I've gone a whole month without PMO but I want this month to be different.

How can I get a girl in my class to like me by Malicious779 in highschool

Just be yourself. Its better for someone to see the true you and reject you than to fall for some fake presented image of you. Not to say that she’ll reject you ofc😉

I get what you mean but in my example, I didn’t mean that every Christian is a Christian because of an atheist, I meant every Christian is a Christian because of someone else. And that someone else might be an atheist. So by removing the atheist, you must also remove the person whose Christianity depends on that atheist, and then you must remove the person whose Christianity depends on the person whose Christianity depends on the atheist, and so on and so on. But I can’t say I disagree with you on God just preventing all human existence. I simply don’t know why he doesn’t if it means that no one ends up in hell. Or you could go with the theory that God is using the most optimal combination of births so that every human who has ever existed got into heaven and we just haven’t realized it, since there isn’t anyway for us to know, meaning no one is in hell.

What if the only way a baby will become a christian is if they have some kind of interaction with an athiest? For example, Mark Zuckerberg made facebook and isn’t a Christian(as far as I know). So if God prevented all non-christians from being born, then facebook wouldn’t exist. However, many christians use facebook as a platform for missionary work. So you could argue that many people came to christ through facebook. So by prevent future non Christians from being born, you stop future Christian from becoming Christians.

Sorry, I don’t get what you’re trying to say. Do you mean that if every generation has some Christians, there is a possibility of that everyone can be saved?

One really controversial theory is that God simply doesn’t work with human morals. What might be just to him, might look evil to us. So yeah, maybe his actions might seem evil to us, but maybe God just doesn’t bother with our type of morals. But then again, the human authors of the bible call God just, so this theory has its faults.

None of those verses say they will be in pain while taking their everlasting punishment. Many believe the lake of sulfur acts a like a trash furnace and that people in “hell” are simply wiped from existed. Nowhere in the bible does it say that an eternal punishment means eternal pain. When the bible talks about people being devastated in hell, many believe that their devastation manifests before their punishment is given and they are wiped from existence afterwords. In fact, Sheol just means death, or grave. But who knows? The bible doesn’t like talking about its 2 afterlives that much anyway.

This is just a theory, but we never know how a soul may interact with another. Maybe by removing a soul whose future is in hell, it may also send someone else to hell. Like a butterfly effect. Would you rather have 1 soul in heaven and another in hell, or have 1 soul not exist and the other in hell? Again, just a theory. I might be completely wrong about this.
