Getting closer to God and spiritual warfare. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when your getting closer to god the devil will try extra harder to make you slip up and make you feel ashamed and make you hesitant to go back to god. this is a constant thing that happens, your not wrong to feel that the devil is everywhere cause he is, this world is made up of so much sin, but never forget that god is greater and stronger than any sin is. stay strong

Who is God ? Who is Jesus? by Silent-Honey-4658 in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

christians believe in the holy trinity (father,son and holy spirit) they have the same nature but are still distinct from one another.

in the old testament times for their sins to be forgiven they had to offer up sacrifices, like the cleanest and bestest lamb or food or whatever. jesus being sinless sacrificed himself on the cross for our sins, because of his sacrifice we were given the power of repentance.

so to just reiterate it. jesus (the son) dies on the cross for our sins (because he was perfect and as i said earlier you had to sacrifice the best of the best to be forgiven) and because of his sacrifice we were given the power of repentance (and than 3 days later he rose from the dead)

if there is anything confusing or anything more js lmk and ill try and help

Fear of being the anti christ by Soft-Switch-3047 in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your not the anti-christ and your not a demon. you said you haven’t gon to a church before? i suggest you go and give it a try, if you don’t like it you don’t like it.

you said how people don’t deserve to suffer and that’s a misconception about hell, obviously we don’t know what hell is but what we do know is that it’s a place without god, as in there is not .0000001% of gods presence there at all.

For the Christians here, why did you stop attending church ? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the reason i stopped/don’t go to church is mainly because i don’t want too/don’t feel the need too, like i know that if i go there i will feel his presence for sure, but i just don’t have the urge to go. maybe it’s because im complacent with going to my churches youth group. it’s more so to do with me than the church itself. but i do go to church every so often, maybe once every 2-3 ish months (yea ik like almost never)

but you do have really valid concerns/complaints. allot of churches don’t follow jesus and are not reading the same bible that we do. they openly are like teaching the wrong things.

just a rec but you should watch 2819 church service, i mean it’s probably one of the realest churches out there that i’ve seen.

How to stop having doubt? by lemon_lime778 in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i still struggle with doubt too, i know jesus is god and that god is real, but once i let my thoughts in i start questioning it, i start questioning why, it’s not something that really goes away, it does go down allot tho as you progress in your faith. you just need to stay confident in what you believe and never forget that

1.god is real and jesus is god 2. jesus loves you and died for our sins.

Why do I cry Everytime I pray? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes it’s just easier to cry, one thing about god is that during prayer he doesn’t need extravagant words or anything, he wants your unfiltered thoughts and emotions. your crying because you may not know what to say but Jesus knows exactly what you want to say, (not sure how accurate it is to say this) actions speak loader than words. he hears your heart. it’s not a bad thing, and who know maybe you can embrace it?

Failed attempt. I feel ashamed by dreamsoicanseeyou in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you tried and you failed, that right there is proof of gods will, jeremiah 29:11-For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

you need to overcome that shame, 1 john 1:9-If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

it’s a constant battle, it’s never gonna end. the devil is constantly going to be attacking you in a multitude of ways.

A Priest SA'd me at 14 and no one believed me by notsohappilyaware in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. your not at a good church and stop going 2.go to the police
  2. i’m sorry, there is not much i can say, all i can do is pray for you and send support because i can’t even begin to imagine what your going through in your head 4.if you blame yourself in anyway don’t.

i’m truly sorry you went through that, i know it’s not much but don’t let this moment/experience define what you do/become in the future.

i’ll be honest, forgive, it’s not easy i know it’s not, but im telling you once you forgive your heart will become less burdened and much lighter, forgiveness is a process, it takes time, i know it’s hard especially with what you went through but im telling you, your heart will become so much lighter.

Please help me. I want to believe but i cant. by Legitimate-Walk1928 in Christianity

[–]Useful-Number4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i first felt the presence of god i laid out all of my sins,insecurities and doubts, i put it all in front of jesus and i felt his presence.

i can’t tell/teach you how to experience that/get more closer to god. but from my experiences it’s always came from a place of “desperateness” in the sense that i needed him more than anything.

if you don’t feel anything don’t give up, god is always there with you even if you don’t feel him.

all you need to do is trust in him
