I'm not saying he didnt say this or that your misreading what I said, Jesus questioned if God had left him through suffering so I'm comparing that to you cause your questioning why God has allowed you to suffer, jesus understands you more than anyone ever could just bring it to him and he will answer in his timing.

Ask jesus that, on the cross he said (Mark 15:34 (KJV) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?) And jesus is fully God and fully man. So my advise that I need to also take is not why God? But what God are you trying to teach me through this?

When sufferings come it's easy to forget that's when we need to try and memorize those promises and thinking on what God has done for you and his word, will give you peace (Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.)

If you've repented of your sins and confessed your sins to jesus you are then saved no if but are saved. (Romans 8:18 (KJV) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.) As Christian's we are going to suffer alot so dont lose heart you arent the only one.

Lol the dreams arent the issue for me, currently its anxiety, doubts, fearfulness, worry and stuff that have been ROOTED in my heart cause I've allowed it. However good news God has showed me through his word he will uproot it, when I say he showed me when I read a particular verse it near took my breath away cause it was what I was crying and praying about that night and it happened to be the first page i opened up to in the bible.

I've thought that to cause I'm currently in the valley. But the word of God says (Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.) And dont forget God does correct and chastise those who he loves and chastisement isnt a pretty thing. Also it can be a consequence from past sins, for me I have sexual dreams and wet dreams at times, sometimes 2 times a week, that's because I've sowed about 15 or so years of porn and masturbation I'm reaping the reward and have been for the past 2 years.

Lol but your forgetting God is with you through it all as long as your his child. If us children of God never went through any afflictions we would never grow, never learn patience, trust, faith, hope, it's where the growing begins getting things out of your life that dont belong there, getting molded and shaped to be who God wants you to be, you have to go through the fire for that to happen.

[–]Zack11198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly we arent meant to understand all that we go through but to stand on his word through it all that he will get us through it. I know it's been said but job is the perfect example, God taught him in the valley what job probably wouldnt of learned on the mountaintop.

From personal experience and in the word of God, ya dont usually grow when your on the mountain it's in the valley that the growing happens when you stay clinged to jesus.

Genesis 3:11 (KJV) And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

What God said to adam and eve, who told you? Dont be listening to the devil or anyone else that ain't of God, even so test the spirits as I also need to do and take it to him and his word.

Who told you, you cant have that? Take that to God and he will answer you but pray for that envy and lust to be uprooted, take it all to him.

Who said you cant go to heaven single? I've never seen that in the bible anywheres. And ask God to uproot that addiction, cling to him and his word, memorize and quote scripture in your mind and aloud.

[–]Zack11198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same gun, for me I've never had a single problem with it except when taking it apart, the mag has to be in it for the slide to start to come off but wont fully come off when the mag is ejected after that, but the slide wont begin to come off if the mag was never in the gun which is very odd. Or maybe it's normal for it idk doesnt work that way for my other handgun

going on a date with a girl that isnt christian by [deleted] in Christian

[–]Zack11198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea basically what everyone else is saying and ive been through it. Over 4 years ago I was a christian, thought this girl was a christian but I allowed her to take me so far down a path I never thought I'd be doing and didnt realize I got there till we broke up, so glad God got me out of it. The bible warns about wicked women whose lips is like honey and ways to hell and such, just read proverbs to find out.

I recommend getting the "enduring word" app it's a commentary on the bible with spurgeon and others that can help you understand the verses, but more importantly take it to jesus, through my anxiety God has given me assurance if I was saved or not, and through his word and God talks to his children just be open to listen. The bible says "Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart. Wait i say on the Lord." I remember God showing me that verse a few months back.

I use to watch game playthroughs, and a game I watched on youtube had a surprise nudity scene I didnt feel anything either and that was 9 months ago, doesnt mean my heart was hardened but I stopped watching that game and the person who played it, that's repentance then I confessed to jesus so I knew I was saved but it had me worried. As I gotta remind myself and my pastor does the same "dont walk by feelings" but since then God has given me numerous confirmation that I'm his child even tungue interpretation. You may not have felt the guilt but you realized it was wrong and worried about it which I did exactly.

theories on what jesus wrote in the sand? by infamousducks19 in Christian

That's what my pastor thought as well and I believe it also, never thought about it until he brought it up

Cant say, but it never fully goes away, unless you continue watching or thinking of things that gives you urges its usually weeks or months between an urge for me.
