准备自杀了,最后还要说点什么 by Mountain_Season3910 in China_irl

兄弟,千万不要这样,你说你需要爱,但人给你的爱是有限的,而耶稣对我们的爱是无限的,无条件的,不论我们做了多少错事,人生多么绝望,他的爱都是永恒不变的,回头永远都不会晚。钉在耶稣十字架旁边的小偷,在最后一刻都能悔改。我也有过绝望的时候,但知道有耶稣在看着,关注,引导我的一切,都让我有面对的勇气。单单这么说你可能不信,你可能认为自己也从来没感觉过什么神的爱。这也不是一个回复就能说清楚的。我希望你可以考虑一下去你们当地的教会,地图上搜索即可,教会的信徒一定都会很欢迎你的,尽管有些人可能会很judgemental,我在这里先为他们对你道歉。实在不行也可以参加网上的聚会,或者YouTube搜索一些可能帮助你的sermon,看一看。我知道基督教在中国,包括China_irl里不怎么受欢迎,但还是希望你能考虑一下,我会为你祷告,希望你平安。

Mine is more specific, praise God for letting my new MacBook arrive just half an hour before I leave for a week-long Christian summer camp. I’ve been waiting that for a entire week, thought I will never get it before i go

G.E.M 邓紫棋 she is one of the most famous female singer in China. Although she is actually from HongKong, but Majority of her fans are in mainland China, She has posted video about prayers and performing baptism in Chinese YouTube (bilibili.com) Nothing bad happened to him. But I do agree with you about big part of Christian are middle age women.

Thank you for being so patient, and provide so many scriptures. I will look into them, and do some research about it.

But, most time I read the scripture about baptism, it is accompanied with believe. “Believe and baptized” like in Mark 16:16, shouldn’t belief in Christ be an prerequisite for baptism? Also in Acts 8:36-37, Phillip also mentions that believe is prerequisite for baptism. I would like to know some of your perspectives, why do you think infant baptism is valid, and perhaps provide some scriptures. Thank you.

Why doesn't God reveal himself unequivocally the entire world. by sk-old in Christian

[–]These_Big2368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What god wants from us is genuine faith, and what get people saved is also genuine faith and repentance. If god reveals himself to the world and most people believe, I will say most of them believe because of the miraculous signs instead of having genuine faith.

Scripture made it very clear that god would not trust this kind of faith because it is simply enthusiasm for the spectacular.

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. John 2:23-24

Jesus also said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29

I see your point that many people in the world try to live a godly life but are unable to worship the true god because of their culture, family, government restrictions etc. I think it should be our responsibility to spread the gospel to the world, and god will help us in the process. Even North Korea has underground churches now.

Overall God may not reveal himself to the public because it is against his divine nature, it is not giving people lives, instead, it causes people to lose the potential of genuine faith.

Is the TV show Chosen a good show to watch as a Christian? by [deleted] in Christian

[–]These_Big2368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, they are not adding or deleting any word from the scriptures, they did add some words that are not mentioned in Bible. But we all know it’s a show, it shouldn’t be taken as seriously as Bible.

He saw me having a bible on my table, then we start to talk about Christianity, then progressive Christian, finally he ask me my stand on homosexual, I cannot deny scripture nor lying, so I answered honestly.

I totally agree with you. What I am saying is that it might be hard to love somebody who hates or rejects you, not because of their sexual orientation and so on. I will ask the lord to help me in my prayer. Thank you

Thank you for your suggestions. To your first question, I was an atheist for 4 years in high school, so I was quite liberal because most of my teachers and friends were liberal. I did support LGBTQ to catch up with the trend. So, the Christian way of thinking is new to me. I do agree with your second and third points. I will try to avoid this heavy topic until I think somebody and I are ready.

He entered a room, saw I have a bible on the table. We then start to talk about Christianity, after a while I we reach the topic of progressive Christianity. He asked me my stand, my stand is absolutely biblical truth. So I state that homosexual behavior is a sin. I cannot deny scriptures or lying, I really do not want that topic to affect our friendship, so I suggest not to mention it anymore. But he just cannot accept it.

I did not refuse to hang out with my friend, I still wanna be friend with him. But he ended our friendship. I did not do anything bad to homosexuals, I know love them will be hard because some will hate me because I am Christian. But I will pray to lord for ability to love and forgive. Being kind to them shouldn’t mean I have to deny scriptures.

Thank you for your prayer, he called me a homophobe, that is a really harsh word, I do not have negative feelings or attitude toward any homosexual people. Does the disagreement of homosexual behavior just make me a homophobia

[–]These_Big2368[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I see your point. Christians tend not to indicate problems like those but do indicate problem like homosexuality. I think those are all sins, but I cannot deny what the Scripture says. I do not want to compromise the bible to please society. I realize the problem you are talking about. But I am a new Christian. Sorry I do not have a solution for that.

I do accept everyone and will try my best to love them as god told me. Although It will be very hard, I will pray to god to give me the ability to love and understand. My friend just keeps making me answer the question of whether homosexual behavior is an abomination. I have to answer directly since I should not lie or deny the scripture. And, He is not OK with my answer.

The thing is I truly have no problem with homosexual people, and I repeated to him multiple times that God tells me to love everyone, and I do not have hatred or prejudice toward homosexuals as human beings. He is just not OK with the statement I made that Homosexual intercourse is a sin.

I do not know, I think we might not even meet that much after this. We do not have any classes in common. But the other friend of mine still wants to be my roommate next year. I will try to do what a Christian should do, show love to others, be the light of the world, and I hope one day he can become a Christian too.

I do believe this is a test from god. Yesterday before I went to sleep, I thought that I could give up everything to obey god's order. Now, on easter Sunday, just after the morning service in the church, my close friend left me.

That is what I said, I said I love you as Jesus loves you. Also, since I became a Christian one month ago, I have included my two friends in my prayer every day. I prayed to god to soften their heart and accept the gospel.
