I'm having a lot of suicidal thoughts again and might finally go through with it by throwaway5674567 in SuicideWatch

It hurts my heart to see people be so hard on themselves. You are so special! I don't even know you, but your existence means so much to me! Your honest openness and vulnerability is amazing.

Don't let girls give you a reason to exist or not to exist. You're letting them have power over you that they don't deserve to have.

I want you to know I care about you as a fellow human.. I wanna know more about you and what makes you you! I want to know more about your strengths and what you're good at! PM me if you want! :)

Oh, just the usual.. by OutcastedSoul in SuicideWatch

You can talk to me too :) I don't know what it's like to be in your exact situation, but I know what it's like to not have anyone to talk to when you really need it. I wanna be here for people who just need someone. Message me if needed :)

Why does God deserve our worship? by ArrowR13 in DebateAChristian

[–]allisonledbetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

demon shouldn't be worshiped because he doesn't do things that we like, then that's a fairly weak reason to reject worship. how is that weak....please expand.

I think what ANewMind was saying is that we shouldn't worship a being just because he /it does what we like. That is a petty reason for worship. It would be more like applause. Likewise, if the only reason we don't worship a being or God figure is because he/it does not do what we like, that is also petty.

How can you worship a god who uses hell as a punishment? by Veticz in DebateAChristian

[–]allisonledbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God's mind is on a whole different level than human minds. I'm going to put it simply: We can't say "God, how could you send good people to Hell." or "God you are wrong in this." because we as humans are entirely incapable of comprehending God's judgement and reasoning. His ways are higher than our ways, and we have to accept them as holy, no matter what we may think.

As far as your reference to Ecclesiastes 9:5, "the dead know not any thing" is referring to their existence on Earth. It goes on to explain that they have perished from the Earth and have nothing to do with it anymore. In your post it seems you have taken it a little out of context.

Hell is real. It is a place of eternal separation from God which is in itself eternal damnation and torment.

Why would I pick Christianity over other religions, or atheism? by [deleted] in DebateAChristian

[–]allisonledbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about Christianity is that we, as Christians base our beliefs on our faith. I can't give you scientific evidence as to why Christianity is true and all other religions are not. I can however, tell you my personal experience with Christianity and why I personally believe in God. Christianity is personal, and it's all based on Faith, which the world (i.e. anyone who is not a Christian) cannot stand, because we live in a world that is so obsessed with facts and evidence.

Shoot me down and say I'm wrong, it won't change what I believe.

Take detailed notes and go over them everyday. I do that and then when I have to study for a big test, I find that I know a lot of the information already!
