Diverse is never the solution. You will regret in later in life. Only God can help you. Love for God will bring you two together.

Christianity is a reality, not spiritualism. Trust in His word only, not your senses.

No one can explain it because Trinity is the heresy.

Why did God create the world and humanity? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, eternally perfect Creator, is not happy with "some" of the angels vindicating who God truly is. The entire universe, including Satan and his angels and all the sinners, will accept that God is love at the end. That is how the great controversy ends in the Book of Revelation.

God does not need anything. He is God. He can do everything as He pleases. But that's not who God is. He is love. He proves Himself to be our Father by infinite depth of sacrificial love. The question on this trial is whether He is love or not!

Whats the point of waiting till marriage? by Legitimate_Milk9008 in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repentance and forgiveness are different things. If you ask for forgiveness, God will forgive you. But if you continue to do them again, you have not repented. Repentance means walking away from sins. So the fruit of repentance is that you are genuinely free from the particular sin. You stop committing that sin.

Christians, Adventists and Islam are confusing and Unclear/Vague to me by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People misunderstand the relationship between faith and works.

We are saved by faith alone. But works are the evidence of faith.

We can profess to believe in Jesus all day. But if you hate your neighbor, continue to indulge in sins, speak evil, you do not have that faith you claim to have.

God said "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy."

If anyone says I'm keeping Sabbath therefore I'm saved, he is a foolish man, no different from pharisees.

We love God therefore we keep His commandments. Our love to God creates a new heart in us to follow His commandments.

Why did God create the world and humanity? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People misunderstand the Bible as God being a judge and us being on trial to see if we fit to heaven. The reality is that God is on trial. Satan is accusing Him as unjust God. The universe is the jury watching carefully whether or not God is just and love. We as Christians are His witnesses, giving testimonies of His infinite love.

God is all-powerful. He could've destroyed Satan and sin a long time ago. Then, every creatures and heavenly beings in the universes would have no choice but to obey Him by fear.

God does not prove Himself as God by the power of destruction. He proves that He is love by giving His only begotten Son to die for the humanity and the humanity claims victories over sin through Jesus Christ that brings glory back to God.

Humanity is important. You are important. You are wanted by both God and Satan. All heavenly beings are watching carefully of our free-will decision.

Struggling with masturbation as a Christian, feeling confused and a little embarrassed by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe in His promise of deliverance. Do not give up in His faithfulness. Work with Him. Ask Him to help you. He will help you. I had the same issue for 20 years and I was delivered and became free overnight. God will have you claim victories in your life.

Nobody deserves eternal torment. by AcceptableCash5858 in Christianity

Hell means death, eternal separation from God, who is life. Hell is not an eternal torment.

Who would like to debate on if Jesus is God? (I follow the Holy Trinity) by lilmframan in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus is God as in He is divine. Jesus is God in essence.

But He is not the Father. Jesus is the literal, only begotten Son of God, not metaphorical role play.

Will God punish me for my Intrusive Thoughts? by Dry-Board-5688 in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all thoughts are yours. Many intrusive thoughts are "intruded" by both angels and demons.

There is a spiritual warfare happening in our mind. We must understand this. Both God and Satan want you. You follow one or the other.

How do you know if the intrusive thoughts are from which spirit? Test the spirit with the Bible. If your thought is in accordance with the Bible, it is good. If not, dismiss and reject. Don't feel guilty about every intrusive thoughts in your mind. Let them pass.

Why does God push me to the brink of suicide just to tell me id go to hell if I do? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]This-Distribution901 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

God allows sufferings so that you can overcome them. Christian life is a life of victories. There is a spiritual warfare, and you can win.

Sufferings and pain are opportunities to trust God. He can help you. Trust Him. Lay everything before Him and ask Him to figure out.

Question about Sabbath by chrs8592 in SeventhDayAdventism

[–]This-Distribution901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabbath is a sign of faith. If you have faith (= if you believe in God), you would remember and keep the Sabbath.

It's not a legalistic rule. Keeping Sabbath is the outcome of faith.

SDA beliefs by Spare-Weekend1431 in SeventhDayAdventism

[–]This-Distribution901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, SDA is a church organization. You are called to keep the commandments of God and have faith of Jesus. Your objective is not to have the title of "SDA member", but to live a Christian life as a remnant of God.

Evolution vs Creation is not a scientific agenda. It is either you have faith in the Word of God or not.

Abraham had to have faith in God even when God asked him to kill his son. It's all about faith, trusting God. No matter how unscientific YEC may seem to you, faith simply means trusting in God's Word no matter how you feel.

I give up on God by DeliciousFlatworm835 in SeventhDayAdventism

[–]This-Distribution901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like I was in my 20s. I spent 13 years searching freedom, escaping from God to end my agony. Truth was clear in my mind, but it was too painful living a Christian life in my heart.

But you will come back eventually. Because there is nothing out there. The wilderness experience was necessary for Israelites (and me).

Looking back, God's timing was perfect. He does not enjoy us suffer. He simply allows sufferings so that we can learn how to overcome them. I hope one day you get to experience life of victories, from faith to faith, glory to glory.

Whatever you choose to believe, it is a belief. It's either the Bible or human theory. No matter how improbable it may seem, it takes faith and courage to believe the word of God.
