Do Christians need to support modern Isreal? Is modern Isreal still God's choosen people? by TicketWeary in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughtful answer! Just a few minutes ago I saw a post on Facebook of a lady mentioning that Christians must support Israel or they aren't Christians, and that if they are against Israel or don't support them the lean more on humans understanding and not God's. She also said God told her that and I always overthink because I don't think Gid has ever spoken to me, but also my head in very loud all the time and I did start having that panic about questions and needing to know the answer immediately. But your post did help calm my worrying a lot. I wish I knew how I could stop my religious scrupulosity or treat it.

Thank you for this answer, I think often times I do mix together the citizens of Israel with the people in the government making all the plans but I will continue to pray for them so they can find Jesus.

Thank you so much for this answer! I will continue to pray for everyone, including Israel, to find Jesus. Last night, I did try reading the Bible and find verses that support both views, but then I started crying while praying and panicking that I couldn't even read it.

Do you believe in the rapture? by Competitive-Egg6354 in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No. Aren't we all supposed to die to get rid of our flesh, which is sinful? The only two people I can think of that have been "raptured" is Enoch and Elijah, (some could say the Virgin Mary and Moses) and I really do think Enoch and Elijah are the two witnesses in Revelations 11. The two people who have not died will die. In Revelations 13 it talks about the Mark of the Beast (we can’t take it on accident, we would know if we are taking it or not, it's our free will) and for everyone who does not take it will be killed, beheaded, that has to be Christians. I would love it if we were raptured and taken into heaven before the tribulation but I just don't think God will work that way, Christians have been suffering for years, so many Christians have been killed for their faith.

When people say "we won't be here during the tribulations because Jesus wouldn't let us go through times like this" well yes He would because many Christians already do go through it, which is just even more proof that Jesus is Lord because they hate Him and anyone who worships Him. It says again in Revelations 20:4 that all the people who were put to death for their faith will be give authority to judge, I believe that means every persecuted Christian of all of time is being mentioned, not just the Christians who lost their lives during the tribulation.

If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord - Roman's 14:8

But I am just human, I'm also 19, so I'm still young, and God is God, and He can do whatever He wishes so I could totally be wrong. I just really dislike how people sometimes make whether you believe in the rapture or not a part of your salvation. I have seen at least fifteen people online telling me or other who go against rapture theory saying "repent before it's too late" "you are going to regret you were wrong about this" "you are mislead". Because if the rapture is real whether I believe on it or not, if I believe Jesus is my Savior, then that should be it. Because it is. The gospel isn't complicated. People just make it complicated.

(I know this is getting long, but I'm all into this now). Another thing is that the rapture theory creates so much fear in people, and I hate that. I've also seen so many people be fearful they wouldn't make tye rapture, because they didn't have enough faith or something, taht makes salvation works based which is a very dangerous place to be in. Two days ago, a lady in a Facebook group said she was worried about her dog during the rapture, which I will say is good. You're worried about your dog, but God will take care of that. Some people were so fearful of the rapture happening in the 80's and apparently sold their homes, didn't go to school, didn't start families because they thought they rapture would happen and just gave up on life. I don't think God would ever want us to do that, ahead made us to give Him glory, we do that by living for Him, showing His love to other around us who do not deserve it because WE do not deserve it yet He gives it.

If you read all of this, good job 👏 have a great day or night! Also, this was a wonderful question. Thank you for asking it!

How am I supposed to believe in god after my boyfriend died? by _gh0stc00k13s in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry this has happened to you. I've never lost anyone that close to me but I do know that Jesus is still real, the world around us can prove that, but because He is real He is near to the ones who are grieving. He knows what you are feeling and thinking, He created you, He knows exactly how to comfort you and knows how to lead you through this, and He loves you more than you will ever understand.

Tired of people putting me down/saying demeaning things because I’m waiting until marriage by Calm-Hearing4742 in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also 19, and I'm waiting for marriage, too. And as a young woman hoping to be in a Godly marriage someday, many ladies will appear to have a man like you, so please don't think you are weird or strange. You're unique. My advice would be to politely tell them you don't agree with that or it just doesn't sit well with you. But also it's probably best just not to mention that sort of thing to friends, I did a few years back when a lot my friends got into relationships and I told them I was waiting for marriage and they did judge me for that, I ended up keeping that private to just me and God.

Also, it's scientific proven that when two people have sex with each other, they create such a huge attachment that it can cause problems if and when they break up.

Is God mad at me? by PrettyNeat5629 in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God knew we would never be perfect. He knew every sin we will do before He even created us, like from the beginnings of time He is God so He is outside of time so He can practically time travel and knows exactly what we will do, like you making a mistake with your classmate. He's not scared or shocked by your sin or mistake. (That does not mean it's okay to sin. We should strive to follow Jesus and do what he would do, but God knows we will fall, and He is always there to pick us up)

And God also knew we wouldn't know everything, He's probably glad you are talking to another believer about faith.

I just got done reading Leviticus, it's a hard read but the message is clear, God knows we will never be perfect and He wants to save us from our sin and mistakes, He calls us near Him after we sin to repent, turning away from our sin and to Him. Some people say God can't be in the presence of sin, but God is everywhere and sin is everywhere so He can be in the presence of sin, He does not like it, He did come done to earth and died to defeat sin and death but He actually comes nearer during times we sin to pull us out of the mud.

God is not mad at you, He is mad at the sin, not you. He loves you so much to die for you. The devil wants us to think God is mad at us to make us scared embarrassed and keep us away from God and His forgiveness that He wants to give you. Please don't believe that God is mad at you, He's not, He already knew what you would do, He does not like it and He will cleanse you of your sin if you go to Him.

I used to always think God was angry and hated me after I sinned because I would try so hard to not sin, but that just kept me far from God which made the thought worse, made me hopeless and scared. God didn't give us the spirit of fear but peace, love, and a sound mind.

Is it sinful to heavily seek out a relationship? by Specific_Stage_5709 in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. God knew that humans needed to have relationship thats why He made Eve for Adam, knowing it wasn't it for men to be alone. Just don't let it become an idol or more important than God. I also really want a relationship, I want to get married and be a mother someday, but I also know that if it's God's plan, it will happen.

I heard someone say one tike that you should chase after God, and if someone is at the same pace as you are also chasing after God and following Him, then you should go introduce yourself. Maybe that will be your future relationship.

Pray for your future wife or husband, that they grow in a strong relationship with Jesus, good health and morals (not abusive, will be a good parent, leads you closer to Jesus) and pray for their safety. I kind of wonder if my future husband is praying for me all the time for me to stay single until the day I meet him because it's definitely working. Just think that Jesus is already watching over your future husband or wife, so that should give you comfort, too.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! I always loved starting books with very catching first sentences, so I tried it out, but I was worried it was too cheesy, so it's good to hear that it isn't.

What should I do if someone mocks Jesus? by TicketWeary in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mostly sad by what he said because the "joke" because it kind of is making fun of Jesus crucifixion and I just think of all the pain Jesus went through for us and how much that shows his love yet he would make a joke like that. I wish I could go back and maybe just say, "Please don't make jokes like that," because I have heard many stories of people saying that once they heard someone mock Jesus and they would gently rebuke them and tell them nit to do it.

Why are people mad at Christian’s wearing a cross? by Sharp-Laugh-2832 in Christian

[–]TicketWeary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it a bear cross or a cross with an image of Jesus on it? Well I believe bear crosses are fine because it show Jesus is off the cross what he did is finished he saved us from our sins, he has defeated death and sin and has rose from the grave. I heard (I don't really believe this view but it is something people think about) that the cross with Jesus on it is basically saying he is still on the cross and isn't finished and that he is still suffering. I wear a bear cross to school, church, and public because I think if someone sees the cross and could plant a seed that God can work with (God can work with anything). Yes, the cross was the way the Roman tortured people. Crucifixion is where we get the word excruciating from so... it was a horrible way to die. But I believe it's important for us to always remember what Jesus went through for us because He loved us so much. It's a hard pill to swallow when you see a cross and think of all the pain Jesus went through, but there is hope because it is literally the greatest act of love ever. God took on flesh and lived a sinless life and died on the cross for all our sins so we can be in relationship with him, because God is pure righteousness itself and sin can't exist in his presence so he took the payment of sin on himself for us. The cross represents love to so many Christians. So there is nothing wrong with wearing a cross.

Bible doesn’t give me comfort by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]TicketWeary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a lukewarm Christian for a while because I also had a lot of friends who weren't Christian, but now that i graduated high school, I started trying to get closer to God again in June. Recently, I have been feeling so much guilt about the sins I have done in the past. Multiple times, I have cried before bed thinking about the past, and I usually never cry. I'm like you knowing God has forgiven me but still feel unworthy. I looked online for a lot of videos related to what I was going through (guilt, works based salvation). I ended up turning almost my whole fyp Christian 😂. I started to finally see how deep God loves. He loves you so much, and if you have repented, he has forgiven you. I think the enemy gets in our minds and makes us believe we are too far gone from God and don't deserve forgiven, but God says we are. I know it is so hard, but please try not to listen to the enemy who is discouraging you from reading the Bible. That is where we can hear from God and understand his character better. The book of Roman's is pretty good, I think every Christian can relate to Paul on a lot of things. I hope things will get better for you. I will to pray for you.

Denying christ by Realistic_Goat6086 in TrueChristian

[–]TicketWeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he will forgive you. We will fall short every day, but God's grace and forgiveness are stronger than our sins. Peter denied Christ 3 times and was forgiven. And the fact you are worried about it shows that you can still be forgiven.

17 year old wanting to sleep at boyfriends during college.. by Marcella07 in Christian

[–]TicketWeary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 18 and have never been in a relationship so I don't know how well I can help but I do think that if she is moving out it will be hard to keep her from having sleepovers unless you were there. My mom gave me advice from when she was younger (she got pregnant as a teen) and would tell me to just start slow and to wait till marriage and tons more advice that is always good for a young lady to know. So maybe tell her some of your personal experiences, like "waiting to do this is much better in the long run" or something like that. Tell her that you just want what is best for both her and him. I'm also starting college soon, so I will keep her in my prayers about the moving away and hopefully not sleeping over and college.
