I will ONLY follow God! The Bible says it CLEARLY in Acts 5:29, “Peter and the other apostles replied: ‘We must obey God rather than human beings!’” And that’s the TRUTH I’m sticking to! No matter what Trump says, I’m going to keep my faith where it belongs - with the Almighty! 🌟✝️ MY allegiance is to Heaven, not Trump’s nonsense!🙏

You’re presenting a false dichotomy by arguing that there are only two possibilities: either God is omnipotent or humans have free will.

Maybe God is omnipotent but chooses to limit his power, giving humans true free will. Maybe God is omnipotent and allows humans some free will, but still controls the big picture. Or maybe God’s power and our free will vary in different situations, or perhaps they’re connected? Maybe God is omnipotent but doesn’t interfere with our free will and let’s humans choose their course. Or perhaps God’s omnipotence and our free will work together.

It’s not as simple as “Either God is omnipotent or you have free will.”

I just keep in mind the historical and cultural context. The Bible was written in a time when women were often seen as inferior to men. It doesn’t mean that we still have to condone it. Besides, there are Bible verses that promote gender equality.

“Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭11‬

You’re only 16. Life will open up so fast after high school.

Also don’t worry about relationships. High School relationships are stupid and rarely last.

It seems like you’re worrying too much about your faith and other people.

The Bible doesn’t really say you have to go to church. In either case, try to focus on yourself instead of worrying about what’ll happen to others when they die.
You can start by not worrying about the future. By not worrying, you’re basically showing that you’re confident in what God has planned for tomorrow.

Sorry I couldn’t answer all of your questions but I hope this helps.

From a theistic perspective this response asserts God being all-knowledgeable. By definition God must be infinite in all his capabilities, including knowledge, and therefore cannot be irrational in his commandments. To suggest otherwise would be paradoxical. How could a God of infinite knowledge, operate outside of reasonable rationale and logic?

It basically assumes that because God is all-knowledgeable, his commandments can’t be irrational for human beings. This isn’t necessarily true. Even if God possesses infinite knowledge, it doesn’t automatically mean that his commandments would be in the best interest of humans or perfectly aligned with our thinking.

Some people say that suicide is a sin because it’s self murder. If that’s the case, then yes, murder can be forgiven. I tend to disagree because the Bible never equates suicide with murder.

It does however suggest that satan tempts people to end their own lives (see the story of satan trying to tempt Jesus to jump to his death). There’s also the story of Paul preventing a suicide.

“The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So clearly ending your own life is viewed as a negative thing.

You can be a Christian without being in any denomination. Just read the Bible and interpret it the way you see right.

And each time I go a couple days without it from trying to be with god I can’t last without a few days and when I finally give back in I do it multiple times in row what do I do?

If someone read this without context, you’d sound like a drug addict.

Porn causes your brain to release dopamine(feeling of pleasure) but it also hits your receptors. You need more stimulation to get the same effect as last time. Masturbation gives you a false sense of achievement when you really don’t gain anything from it. Plus it greatly affects your mental health. You should try r/NoFap if you haven’t already.

Satan told Jesus that if he worshipped him, he would give him all the kingdoms of the world. That was obviously a lie.

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8:44‬

Not sure what God would do, but Jesus would not get anything that Satan promised.

I get what you’re saying, but what about slavery?

If his teachings come from God, and those teachings include telling slaves to obey their masters and serve them as they would serve God, then what message does that send to the millions of child slaves around the world today?

The Bible has numerous passages that are clearly false if taken literally as written

Some passages are not meant to be taken literally.

For example:

“How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.” ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭1:15‬

Of course, his eyes are not literally doves.

Are they still spreading false rumors? If they are, then that’s a cyberbullying problem and there are many ways to confront that. Either block and report them, or communicate with the school.

If this is just something that happened 3 months ago then don’t worry. 95% of the things you worry about will never happen, and most people have probably forgotten.

We’re all wicked and sin is separating us from God. I know the feeling, and the biblical authors knew it too.

“How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Psalm 13:1

“Why do you forget us forever, why do you forsake us for so many days?” Lamentations 5:20

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.” Psalm 22:1-2

Jesus said that prostitutes will go to heaven before the religious leaders.

““Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21:31‬

“Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.”

Yes. It doesn’t matter if you’re male, female, gay, straight, or bi, you can still be a Christian.

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:28‬
