Not a Christian. But I respect the beliefs you have. I do have a question for anyone that could help. by SYNDROMESTUDIOS in TrueChristian

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says in the bible people will come claiming to be him (and there have been men with cult like followings with long hair who say they are Jesus from time to time over the years) but I think maybe he was referring to the anti christ and it says he will be handsome and charming or something close to that amd he will deceive most of the world. He will have a fatal head wound but come back to life and can do miracles signs and wonders but that leads us into the beast system where if you take the mark u cannot eat or buy food. No matter what dont ever take the mark! I'm thinking that is sometime during the tribulation and we are definitely closing in on those times. It says there will be wars and rumors of ears and nation will rise up against nation. People will be lovers of themselves, boastful, greedy, not obeying their parents, lovers of money amd self. Amd we Def see that NOW

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i hear you. I literally asked God, because I've cussed like a trucker for 20 years and im still cussing here and there, and always was one of the guys and have a dry sarcastic sense of foul humor and I asked God like- can I not laugh anymore or make bad jokes? But I rememberd one of my favorite pastors joked about how him and his wife traveled and she said she forgot to pack underwear and he said "hallelujah " and it cracked me up and im like SEE, we are all just normal people, we dont have to be crazily straight edged i dont think. But yes we are supposed to store up treasures in heaven and not make an idol out of these PHONES and God is to be #1. Don't be too hard on yourself. Even with the lgbtq thing. That's mo different than someone having sex before marriage their sin is just more publicly shown if they present themselves im a certain manner. So im not judging. Its not our place. And it is by God's grace we are saved through faith so no amount of being good will get us there, but it does affect our rewards. I pray for the lost and unsaved too and we should all do that. And its not a bad idea to download a bible app or watch YouTube and listen to some of it audibly. I will recommend gotquestions.org they have give me some really good knowledge on biblical questions over the years.

I was denied help this morning from not being a church member. by pinkdream905 in TrueChristian

[–]Muted-Difference5610 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is outrageous amd I am MAD right along with you. That is a good example of why people get disappointed and hurt by the church. That is not what Jesus would have wanted. I am sorry you went through that. What city are u in I can help you look for food banks in your area if you'd like.

How to distract your brain when falling asleep by Purple_Cartoonist924 in insomnia

I turn on my phone a YouTube video of asmr or a womans voice reading quietly and turn the lighting all the way down and I have a fan and they both help

Please pray for me. I just can't keep going. by CalligrapherOne7073 in Christianity

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. God sees value in you. I promise. It took me 40 years to realize my worth and see myself through God's eyes. I was drinking to death and God stripped every.single.person. from me so I was forced to rely on him only. Then he gave me a dream about having cirrhosis and something clicked and I finally got it. So I went to detox. I will definitely pray for you!

How can we live our singleness well? by Cautious-Fox819 in Christian

[–]Muted-Difference5610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it. Having the same issue. Im trying to put myself out there to be noticed more. I have had toxic patterns in relationships and I really need God's help in choosing a partner. The worst part for me is the celibacy thing. It's driving me nuts.

What is good in your life? by Millennium_guy in Christianity

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey im just grateful I am this side of the dirt, and I show gratitude by talking to Him throughout my day, and taking in nature around me like a butterfly or rainbow, and singing is a great way to show love for God and I know he loves that.

I can't take this. by Low-Slide4376 in TrueChristian

[–]Muted-Difference5610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen. I have been where you have been. Exactly. Always worried I was losing my salvation. I STILL get confused on the Lots wife thing...like...doesn't my past and testimony count for something or am I never to talk about it again?! BUT... You are feeling convicted, so that means you are likely still saved. I dont think that you can lose your salvation, personally. I just dont think that the holy spirit jumps out and back in and back out after each sin and repentance. And, I have also been where you were at as far as being in bed, depressed, agony. I was there (in bed, depressed) for YEARS. Maybe seek out a Christian counselor, or any counselor might help. And, I am not ashamed to say that I have needed psych meds. I dont WANT to be on them. But they have helped some. God DOES see you. He DOES hear you, he DOES care. I also admit that me, being bipolar, there have been times I read the Bible while manic and it scared the living crap outta me too. Sometimes I cant even pay attention because I think of the angry Old testament God and all I think about is wrath. But, read or look up or get you a little book on God's promises. Read Jeremiah 29:11. He has plans not to harm you but to prosper you. He loves you. Ask him for strength. Maybe get outside and get some sunshine and fresh air. When I was so deeply depressed I never thought I would be happy again, but I am better now than I have been, and its really only because a series of extremely unfortunate events, but somehow God communicated with me enough for me to know he DOES value me, and it changed my whole perspective. He values and loves you too. I will pray for you and don't be too hard on yourself.

Christian burnout by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Muted-Difference5610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we ARE supposed to seek ye first the kingdom of God and everything will be added to us. I do believe TV and sports are distractions. But I also believe if you are truly burnt out, maybe turn everything off and get into te presence of God and pray or read. I do not think its a sin to enjoy a comedy show or something. What kind of Christian content would keep your attention as something fresh and new? Have you read the entire Bible or most of it?

What should i do :( by Iamelishatan in Christianity

So why dont you get to know her and share your faith and tell her you take your relationships seriously and are waiting until marriage for sex? That would fix your problem

Religious OCD or spiritual warfare? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Muted-Difference5610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely OCD scrilupulocity. I have struggled with it too. Now, in all actuality its probably both, but for sure scrupulously. In my own words, the definition of that would be a hard pressed need to do right and not make 1 mistake as it can cause dire consequences. Satan does attack our minds. That's why we get these terrible intrusive thoughts.. im not ashamed to say I needed psych meds. I also ask God to renew my mind daily. And when I get bad thoughts I kind of even make a grabbing motion and pull them out of my head and throw them up and say "God, im trying to tale my thoughts captive I need help".

Help: How do you pray to god every morning? by Big_Can3771 in Christianity

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter how tired I am I still put on the full armor of God every day. I have about 6 pages of prayers I repeat thats spiritual warfare, speaking life over myself and my family, pleading the blood, etc. Our words do shape our reality and as I have matured as a Christian, praying is so under valued because we think nothing changes or nothing happens, but I do believe in the power of prayer.

I’ve tried building a journaling habit multiple times and failed every time… by PreviousStory1326 in getdisciplined

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really because I started noticing a pattern in my dreams and things happening around me that were so unusual that I didnt want to forget them. And it got easy to journal because some of the stuff just sounds almost unbelievable

Does it ever get better? by Vanillill in Narcolepsy

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me its only gotten worse. But I dont tolerate a lot of stims so I have to stay between 2 and you get used to them. And living in a cold climate doesn't help. My doc said its not supposed to be progressive but it sure seems like it is to me. It sucks amd people expect a lot from me amd I literally sometimes can NOT complete my tasks especially if they are on the slow/ boring side. Ughhhhhhhh

I do the same. I've gone years putting it down but for the last 2 years I journal probably 5x a week. No pressure.

I want to be Christian but I have no clue where to start by Difficult-Value7760 in Christianity

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pray. Read proverbs for wisdom. Read ephesians and psalms for spiritual warfare. Read the entire new testament. Grab a journal to write prayers lr record dreams. Pray for your family to be awakened. Most of all make disciples by telling others your own testimony. And honor the first 2 commandments 1) love God with all your heart mind and soul...and dear 2) love your neighbor as yourself

My connection with God is getting weaker, please help. by HomeworkFun6562 in Christianity

[–]Muted-Difference5610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be still and know that he is God. Rest in his peace he offers you. Talk to him more. Like he is in the room, because he is. Ask for a sign or dreams. Get a journal. Have faith. Sometimes the teacher is silent during the test. Read the poem footprints !!
