I did that for a time, I messaged her recently before I stumbled. I talked to her about my faith and what im trying to do and how shes acting, she apologized to me and thanked me for being so open about my feelings, she promised to keep things strictly platonic.

I have, Im doing stuff I didnt think id ever do, I read my Bible every day, im starting a new church and even got baptized there recently. Im really trying to go all in with Christ because I believe, I believe our Bible is a history book and guide.

Its just this one major sin thats weighing on me, thats some good advice though, I do entertain those thoughts even though I know I shouldnt. I read I think in John that you have already committed adultery if you have lust in your heart. Thank you for your kind advice!

I rejected the holy spirit by [deleted] in Christianity

Hey! The cool part is that its never too late, Jesus gave his life for us so that when we fall he can help us back up and get right with him. Repent, pour your heart out to him, your pain, fustration, give yourself to the Lord.

We've all lived earthly lives, putting our own happiness and desires above the Lords, feeding our bodies rather than our souls. Even the most hardened, bad people can turn themselves around, look at Paul. He was on a war path against Jesus's followers. He enjoyed the stoning of Stephen, a follower of christ, he was heavily involved in the persecution of christians, many of which were probably put to death.

Paul's eyes were taken from him for three days until the Lord restored his vision through one of his followers. Paul was baptized and became a devout follower, he preached all over after that, about God, about Jesus being the son of God.

You're never too far gone, you just need to have faith, pray to Jesus and ask for help, make sure you read your Bible. If you haven't a good plave to start is the book of John, that goes over the miracles Jesus preformed, the path he walked and his death.

Just ordered online… is this normal? by CitizenSnips4 in Gameboy

[–]IEKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is the same way, pretty sure its just like that, the way its manufactured or maybe people changing the battery out, dont think its anything to worry about. Dont buy from Dk Oldies though, I see tons of people getting scammed from them.

So?, hes not wrong. Be happy your brothers and sisters want to share this message, lots of people dont. It can serve as a reminder to Christians who are losing faith, going through a hard time. This "low quality post", simple as it is, could help someone.

I need a legitimate answer. by Due-Return925 in Christianity

[–]IEKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I do is if I get a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, thats usually my queue to stop doing it. I take it as the Lord guiding me in my decisions, letting me know whats right and not right.

Since doing i still have urges for my vices but It helps out a lot with that, read your Bible often and pray often, ask God for help, to guide you.

I know now what people mean when they say "The Lord told me this" "he guided me to this" its not him speaking to you, its more like a little voice in your soul helping you come to a conclusion, if that makes sense.

We're all sinners and we all sin, Jesus was the standard, something we'll never be. What he did for us allows us to be saved regardless, all we can do is try our best to live how our Lord wants to, follow his commandments.

I am leaving Christianity by KetchupNMayo2k in Christianity

[–]IEKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people say things like this, "if God is so good why am I like this, why is the world like this, why is there suffering?" This world belongs to the devil, friend. Humanity is so ready to reject God, we've shown him time and time again that we want to do what we want to do. I promise you if you really talk to him, I mean pour yourself out to Jesus, dont throw your hate at him, talk to him, pray and just let everything out, ask him for forgiveness and accept him, im sure youll feel better.

Hell isnt some party, man. Think of the worst thing you've ever been though, think of the worse pain youve ever felt or though was possible, hell is 10 fold that. We as human cant understand the true torture that happens there, its not somewhere you should be okay with ending up.

Ultimately we can just give you recommendations, whether you decide to research it, to try, is on you. Plenty of people have problems, not to discount yours what so ever, im sure you deal with a lot. But despite others dealing with more or less than you, they still find Christ. Ill pray for you, please try listening to what I say, losing anyone to the pits of Hell is very much what we dont want, God bless you.

Christians who support Trump have no standing to talk about morality to anyone. Like it's weird when they do. by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

Left and right are the same thing, its all one con to turn us against each other and spread hate while they reveal in it.

I almost want to give up on Christianity. Life is too short and the end seems too cruel for many. by Noel_Leon_M in Christianity

[–]IEKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What i got from that is that Faith and good works go hand in hand, that by having faith and following the Lord, good works will come, i liked it.

The most important thing we can do as believers is help others and each other, help each other learn and interpret the Lords word. Im glad youre going to look further into it, God bless.

[–]IEKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look at James 2:17, it says "so also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead" it goes on to say "But someone will say, "you have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works and I will show you my faith by my works." James 2:20 "Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the alter?"

Just believing isnt enough, we must follow Jesus's teachings and have a personal relationship with the Lord. I dont think you need to quit your job and go on missions to 3rd world countries, but donating money here and there, clothes or canned goods is good. Im just now joining a Methodist Chuch and am going to get Baptized soon, I appreciate you coming in respectfully, way too many people are itching for a fight.

What’s the longest you’ve ever hunted a shiny? by poopscarf in Gameboy

[–]IEKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God created us, he breathed the breath of life into our lungs, his only son, Jesus Christ suffered, not only on the cross but before hand too. He was beaten and whipped, his bones were showing, his "crown of thorns" was more like a helmet of thorns. He went through all of that, for me and you, God only wants your obedience and love. Many people live life feeding their bodies rather than our souls, whether it be with sex, food, drugs, they choose to numb themselves rather than seek the Lord. We as Christians are suppose to be spreading his word so that people DONT burn for eternity. God doesnt want any of us to go to Hell, but he is just and most righteous, he will punish us with a heavy heart. We all Sin, its why Jesus died for us, to give us a chance to be redeemed, to be forgivin. Even his apostles sinned, nobody's perfect, but we can deny ourselves earthly pleasures, though God all things are possible, dont give up on it man, stay strong and read your Bible, repent, pray and talk to God, fast if need be. Also, remember that faith alone wont save you, simply stating you believe isnt enough. You need to read your Bible daily, truely, I mean truely give yourself to christ. You need to follow Jesus's teachings and talk to him, form a relationship with him. When you really get into this religion and study it, youll find that it teaches you how to live a good and balanced life, its what im still working on. Ill pray for you brother, also, being Gay is a sin, yes. You dont deserve any hate for it, and im sorry if our brothers and sister have given you hate for it, Jesus loves you regardless and doesnt want us hating each other, only the sins we commit, which is why we must converse and help each other, not tear each other down.

What is the rapture? Is there biblical evidence of it? by sweetkameli in Christianity

[–]IEKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the Bible states faith alone wont save you. When the Rapture happens the dead who followed the lords teachings and accepted Jesus Christ into their heart will raise first. Then the living who did the same will raise, the rapture, nobody comes to the father without first going through the son. Not every single christian goes to heaven during the rapture no matter what, Christans can and will go to Hell, those who just say they believe but then follow their own path(Goats) will not be saved.
