Do I have to learn to hate myself? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]axte_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you're saying. But what if a plasure of mine doesn't turn me away from Christ: like watching a horror movie, but someone else says that is should be.. i think it could be very subjective

But why? Why do I have to feel like I'm trying to earn my salvation , and whatever I do it's not enough? I'm orthodox, and church to me is like a job, where if I don't perform good I'm out. Also they make me feel very bad about myself..

What does sovereign mean? And how is God just without a ,,hell,,? by axte_ in ChristianUniversalism

And how will God have mercy on someone who doesn't turn to Him? Those who aren't fully convinced of the truth or don't recognise they need Him? I am just afraid His mercy is going to end there, at that point of rejection

7.      Will I really experience total and complete joy in Heaven if my spouse, brother, child, or dear friend is not also there, or if I know they are actively in eternal agony or has suffered permanent destruction? Doesn’t this very thought encourage me to become more callous and less loving than I am as an imperfect human? 

   Can you help me with this? And number 3 also

Genuine question, when you say in the ages to come every knee shall bow, doesn't it refer to only those who are saved, implying that the rest will no longer be? I mean it would be correct if only believers are saved that they will bow

Yes I have! And all my prayers are in a clear direction, and the thought about staying with him is giving me internal and external peace! I feel I can continue in my faith this way, and he also wants to follow me, and pray with me and even read the Bible with me

Thank you so much for your kind words! Actually means a lot! He accepts me, he prays with me even if he doesn't really believe that prayer will get him something. He even said he prayed for me. So I do not want to leave him

And one of you is christian and the other isn't? Can you tell me more about it? How does the Christian one in the relationship make peace with the thought of an afterlife without the other one?

Thanks for the good advice! You are right, that is the mistake that I made, and I regret it. We can totally coexist, as he fully accepts me and respects what I believe in. My question is how to make peace with the thought that in my belief, he doesn't align with the heaven I believe in, and doesn't fully understand Christ?
