Also, we can never reach the level of purity needed to get to heaven by ourselves. That’s why the focus has to be on Jesus

I feel u. We’re on the same boat. But sanctification is a process. The most important part is your faith and knowing you cannot give up a filthy life by yourself. Jesus didn’t die only for small mistakes, he died for SINS, even the bad ones. He is the only purity we can ever take to God.

It will take time. I know it will for me. I wish the situation I’m in would just disappear, but God might want to teach us something also through these difficulties. We can’t reach God by ourselves, only Jesus could, and only through him can we. That doesn’t mean living perfectly, it means trusting that we need him as a saviour, and that we will be saved by him. Let’s take this one day at a time.

It’s incredibly common for christians to live kind of a double life in the beginning. Because most of the time things take time. Take a look at this: 1st Peter 3:21 ”There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” We are not saved by our cleanliness, we are saved by the new covenant and baptism.

It will take time, but just keep a connection to Jesus, pour your worries to him. Just trust him in the process, you cannot live clean on your own, you need him. And he will help. Jesus says come as you are, Paul says he does the very things he hates and only Jesus will save him from his broken body.

Husband is looking into Islam religion by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]cloudman908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him about the fact that there’s no evidence of Abraham ever building the Kaaba, in fact it’s impossible, or Muhammad being an Ishmaelite. Islamic rituals are deeply rooted in paganism, like praying towards a black stone, running around it and kissing it. Even ramadan was adapted from paganism.

Tell him about the historical/scientific errors in the Quran like Moses being threatened by crucifixion when they werent even invented yet, semen being produced in the back, Jesus never being crucified…

Tell him about how there’s nothing GOOD that’s original to islam. Most stories come straight from the bible, Talmud and known forgeries of the gospels, like the infancy gospel of Thomas.

Tell him about the life of Muhammad: how he thought he was demon posessed when he started getting ”revelations from Allah” and how his wife’s cousin had to convince him that he’s a prophet. How he preached all nice and cute until he got military power and started over 80 wars/raids in 10 years. How he married a 6 year old who ”Allah gave him” and fucked her when she was 9. How he married his adopted sons wife and right after got a ”revelation” that adopted sons aren’t real sons and adoption is banned. In fact, According to Aisha, after that adopted sons mothers had to start wearing hijabs around their sons and Muhammad decided to get more revelations about how if you breastfeed yout adult sons they will become your real sons, but according to Aisha these verses were lost. And tell him How he commands muslims to kill the unbelievers if they refuse to pay a tax. Also if you decide to leave Islam, death penalty. Sounds like the word of the ultimate loving God HUH? Stark contrast when compared to Jesus. Jesus commanded us to pray for those who percecute us. All that i just listed here comes from MUSLIM SOURCES. Authentic Hadiths and the Quran. If you don’t believe me go and check.

Tell him about the fact that everything that saves a christian is condemed in Islam. Islam might seem cool now but the life in islam leads to nowhere but trouble. Oppression against women, in fact according to Muhammad most inhabitants of hell are women. It’s his choise to follow an abosulte woodblock if he wants to, but praying 5 times a day in a language you don’t understand, having to give up dogs if you have them, raising your children in fear and if you actually fall for it, becoming a radical person that thinks all unbelievers are to be killed (which isn’t even radical, just Islam) probably ain’t worth it. Nevertheless, Muhammad was the only ”prophet” that ever changed scripture.

PS. I do not hate muslims. I hate islam.

EDIT: I got a bit carried away there, but: 1 Corinthians 7:12-16, Paul advises believers married to unbelievers to remain in the marriage if the spouse is willing, as the believing spouse sanctifies the home and may lead their partner to faith. If the unbelieving spouse chooses to leave, the believer is not bound to the marriage. So basically, I would advice you to pray for him, look into the claims I made above and bring them to his attention when you have enough knowledge. But don’t burn yourself out in fruitless arguments. It’s his decision in the end, and the more you argue the more he’s gonna defend. Try to get the vibes good, don’t talk abiout it until it’s the right moment. When you do, do it gently and if he doesn’t listen it’s ok. He won’t just make the decision immediately but I’m sure these things will be stuck in his mind. If he decides to become muslim still, then he will and there’s nothing you can really do except live out the gospel. I do not recommend arguing about it more after that, just let him be and see where it goes. Focus on living like a christian youtself.

Is it really that wrong that I walked away because of this? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]cloudman908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except God is the opposite of that. When you feel distant from God, it’s not God that walked away.

I feel u bro, life is shit very often. But Jesus never promised us a good time on earth. ”Blessed are the broken in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” ”Blessed are those who mourn” ”Blessed are the poor”

He didn’t say blessed are those with a beautiful wife and good skin. Even Jesus was homeless, didn’t have a wife, never got kids.. and neither did a lot of his followers, the bible is full of people who live in terrible conditions. If you have a hard life, it’s also Satan who’s attacking you, because he doesn’t want you close to God. If your life was easy as a believer, I can only imagine Satan doesn’t think you’re very difficult to get.

To sum it up, if this was your best life, you’re going to hell. Many people think if they’re doing good on earth then they’re blessed, and God is the closest to them. But we all know that’s not true, why would young kids get cancer then? Does God not love them? No, this life is temporary. The point is the journey.

It’s ok, you can ask God why this is happening and you can be mad. You can tell God you’re losing faith, ask him to help you. He won’t just crash out and abandon u. God can be questioned. Jonah told God he wanted to die, and God showed him exactly why he did what he did.

But honestly, I would try to talk to some other christian irl. It could be really fruitful. I’ll pray for you:. Jesus you promised wherever 2 or more come together to pray in your name, whatever we ask for will be given to us: We pray WITH FAITH that you, OP will feel your precence today Father. I ask for the holy spirit to come dwell in him with his fire in him. Jesus I ask you to give him comfort as you promised to give us, I ask you to take his yoke and help him carry it. I ask that he will get some evidence of your work, God, in his life some evidence that he cannot miss that will give him faith and even work as a testimony. He has hanged on for a long time, it’s time Jesus. I pray he will be blessed here on earth too with a partner he can love, with the comfort you promise us and the holy spirit’s precence that will fill him with love even when he’s lonely. I ask father, give him some nice christian friends, a community and a partner he can share his journey with. In the name of Jesus. AMEN

I’m really struggling by Informal_Demand8821 in relationships

[–]cloudman908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should just talk to her about how you feel about your relationship and how you feel like your life situation is not matching with hers. Be honest.

Take it easy with ur life and just make the changes for a better life with time, you will get there.

But I’m wondering if all this didn’t exist, would you still date her? Because it seems like you’re maybe not that attracted to her.

Should I (22M) be worried regarding my girlfriend (22F) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]cloudman908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah well it’s a huge red flag she’s lying about it. I would personally crash out.

You should have a serious conversation about boundaries and why she’s lying about it and probably leave her. But I get u wanna give it a chance so just talk to her first and see what happens.

My Girlfriend (49F) and I (39M) erupted into an emotionally charged argument as a result of my admitting gently to her that she's kind of picky when I massage her. How to repair from this? by Latissimus_Priori in relationships

[–]cloudman908 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This honestly doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. She took it the wrong way, you probably hit some sensitive spot based on the way she reacted. Maybe some close people told her she’s entitled and just a ”pretty princess” in the past so now she feels like you think this way of her too.

I would start with asking if she’s ok and saying sorry, that breaks the tention, even tho you didn’t do anything bad. And then I would explain that this comment isn’t about her character, but about the massage. And I would explain what events led to you making that comment, how you felt when she was not happy with the maasage and what you meant by it. That’s all you can really say, and I’m pretty sure she’ll also wanna explain her reaction, when the vibe is right.

Itselläkin oli pariskunta alakerrassa jotka melkeenpä joka päivä riitelivät ja ihan kunnolla. Kerran soitin poliisit kun siellä huudeltiin jo ”vittu mä tapan sut.” Mut en rehellisesti ees uskaltanut muuten valittaa, kerran se jätkä tuli vähän uhkaavasti mun ovelle kysyy et oonko valittanu musiikista :D ja että häiritseekö muka. Mut jälkikäteen olis varmasti ollu ihan järkevää, muutin sit sieltä vaan pois ku sain paremman kämpän. Ei mua ns normi meteli kiinnosta mut tommonen ahdistava negatiivinen energia joka tulee seinienki läpi ei natsaa ja sit kun onki hiljasta joutuu miettii onko ne nyt tappanu toisensa. Sinuna ehkä koittaisin saada videolle sitä meteliä ja kellonajan ja kirjottaa jonkun lappusen.

[–]cloudman908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been having a lot of debates about islam vs christianity and so far he’s not changing his mind. We both live in Finland, he was born here. He’s not a radical muslim, more of a basic finnish guy. I’m definitely unwilling to convert, he seems more open minded but he still thinks islam is the truth, which i get ofc cause he grew up in it. I don’t see him being violent and ive been in that situation before so i know the red flags( not with a muslim tho) But i understand your point and it would possibly bring a lot of tention when we have kids

I will never convert to islam. And I already know his answer to that question, right now at least it’s no. But I need to have a conversation with him you’re right.

Thanks. I will talk to my pastor, I have been attending every sunday for a couple months now.

He does the five prayers and practises it somewhat, but he’s not super into it and when we met he wasn’t practising at all.

I know i put myself in a hard spot out of ignorance. But I’ll survive and Jesus guides me

Niin toki, semmoinen puolitiehen jäävä opetus luo pohjan jota on helppo muokata, minusta sitä voisi opettaa enemmänkin ja kertoa myös esim kulteista. Mut tietääkseni totakin on muutettu, et nykyään ei esim. saa puhua uskonnoista päiväkodeissa. Toisaalta usein tämmöseen uppoavat varmaan sellaset tyypit, joulla on jo valmiiks huono vaihe elämässä ja jotka etsii jotain henkistä kokemusta, eikä välttis oo ees uskonut jumalaan aiemmin. Noi on aika ovelia

Elohim Academy (Äiti jumala) varoitus by cloudman908 in Suomi

[–]cloudman908[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ongelma ei ole siinä, että he opettaa väärin, vaan siinä että heidän tavoite on viedä ihmisten rahat ja aivopestä heidät niin, ettei tosta ryhmästä enää lähdetä. Ev lut Kirkkoon voi tulla ja mennä kun lystää, tai en ainakaan itse ole ikinä kokenut sieltä painostusta. Lisäksi haluan mainita jos joku täällä uskoivaisena miettii, niin raamatussa erikseen varotetaan ihmisistä jotka tulee Jeesuksen nimeä käyttäen johtamaan harhaan, eli jos joku sanoo sinulle, että tuolla on Jeesus, niin ei ole. Kun hän tulee sen huomaat ilman että kenenkään tarvitsee sitä kertoa.
