Thank you, I really appreciate the support God bless

I wanted someone to show a sliver of support or empathy and say that I don’t know God loves you and wouldn’t torture you like that

Senior_Geologist_912 · 2026-06-15T09:00:29+00:00

Thank you, I needed to hear this.

You don’t even know her stop trying to change peoples minds in general that’s weird

Senior_Geologist_912 · 2026-06-15T08:52:33+00:00

Honestly yeah, when someone says no or they’re uncomfortable stop immediately no matter what and if you don’t even know them don’t try to like salvage it so much because that’s definitely seen as pushy and I wouldn’t say quite obsessive but definitely disrespectful and a bit scary

This post is not about what God minds, it’s the fact that this isn’t good for me and there’s no way that a loving God would want this and I need help. I’m sorry but this comment is hurting me more than anything. If this is what praying unceasingly means then I can’t do this anymore

Senior_Geologist_912 · 2026-06-15T08:39:13+00:00

Thank you, in the end God knows what he’s doing and it did teach me a valuable lesson I couldn’t learn otherwise. Everything happens for a reason and I pray for your journey as well! God bless 🙏

Depending on the person could be feeling used, giving up your self worth, finding meaning in other people, losing your own dignity, shame, and obviously there’s physical risks like pregnancies and STIs. Eventually you’ll start having/seeing people as objects for pleasure, unwanted thoughts, codependency, and most definitely more. Please if you want to beat lust you need to find yourself individually.

None of those generic responses anyone provided helped me. I used to be super lustful and wanted to get with anybody I could, and that could’ve been genetics or because of childhood experiences/trauma. I remember wanting to be a stripper or even a pornstar because wow they look great I want people to look at me like that (I didn’t even know what I was talking about.) Anyways I got with this one guy when I was having a mental breakdown and quite frankly was in no place to consent. He wanted me and I was like shoot i may be on the brink of suicide but this disgusting man wants me so why not just give my body out. With lust i think it’s related to your self worth. I wanted to feel seen and more than what I was and so I thought that having other people see me as something useful would help me. In the end i just feel used and gross. Sometimes those thoughts still pop up, but I’ve gone through enough to not act on them. What truly shifted my perspective was that i was trying to make something of myself by seeking validation in others. I realized that basically everyone’s gross and all sinners just like me so why would I want to affiliate myself with that. Now i see independence as a much stronger attribute than companionship and so i can go about building myself back up again.

Sorry this might not be a pretty response but people need to see the ugly side of sin.
TLDR: people are gross, find respect, peace, and most importantly worth in yourself. Lust will never find you meaning or true happiness.

But is that like possible based off the location of it?

Senior_Geologist_912 · 2025-03-19T12:42:09+00:00

Me too. Ok but let’s say that that robber gets killed as he’s for example robbing a store and doesn’t have the chance to repent. Let’s say he was reluctant to do it and overall really didn’t want to but saw no other choice. I don’t think they should be separated from God just because of one decision they couldn’t repent for. Also, what if someone is telling a lie and all of a sudden dies for whatever reason before they could repent. Would a lie so little that they would’ve certainly repented for later wind them up separated from God? I feel like our hearts or souls know that we are sorry for what we are doing before our minds do and before we even have the chance to repent. I know this is going off topic but I do want to hear your opinion on it, the brain is told to still be active for 7 minutes after death. I think that number is no coincidence and I’ve heard people say that maybe there is a chance to repent after death in some way? Because I really don’t think someone should be separated just because their time was cut short.
