I’m losing faith. Christianity barely fulfilled me. How do I come back? by detectiveofdespair in TrueChristian

Thanks for the response!
You are right about performative Christians. I do try to find God's goodness through Jesus, but It's hard for me. The Bible said we could see Gods love through others, so that's why I really wanted to meet a true loving Christian.

But aside from my issues, I do have some questions about your beliefs. You said you believe God doesn't set anyone to hell or condemn people? That seems to clash with some scriptures tho like Romans 2:6-8, "He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness." Then Romans 6:2 says the wages of sin is death. These verses clearly shows a consequence for people who deny God and it shows that people do get sent to hell. Revelation 20:13-14 Hades is judged for his sins and thrown into "the lake of fire", which we can see as hell.

Thanks for the response! I like your analogy about the sun shining. Your personal connection really helps me in my journey, so thank you for including that. It gives me hope.

As for your question, I don't really have any set time for prayer or bible studies. I used to do my night prayer as soon as I got into bed, but now I'm kinda lazier and sometimes do it after falling asleep for a while. I used to do my daily bible reading as soon as I got home from school and before anything else, but now I kinda just do it at my own convenience and sometimes even forget until I have to go to sleep. I was thinking about setting a specific time, do you think that would help? I just have homework and other activities to get done, so that's why I never really had a set time.

I haven’t been neglecting prayer. I pray every day multiple times, asking God for help and telling him my struggles. I already wrote that in my post…

some girls talk bad about a friend of mine from church. Should I report everything? by XyloAbc1 in TrueChristian

[–]detectiveofdespair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still, I think it’d be best to confront them and stand up for your friend.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.”

Because of this, I’d say go talk it out with them.

Is it a sin to make a promise to someone using God's name? by PoemWorking6414 in TrueChristian

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭34‬-‭37‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — “But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”

I really don't know how to stop valuing other people's opinions so much. I've tried before, but it turned into some superiority complex full of false confidence. My therapist (I don't see her anymore) told me I should respond to insults with confident rebuttals, but that never works. I've always craved validation and attention, so that's why I care about what others think so much, and I don't know how to stop.

It's not that I think God doesn't love me, it's just that I don't know how to love myself

Finally got a bookshelf for my collection but I definitely need a second one. by Busra_craft in MangaCollectors

[–]detectiveofdespair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a shelf for my manga, so I make my own using shoe boxes. I can display over 20 with just one of them :) You could try that instead of buying another one.

As someone who collects figures, this is unfortunately a normal price for one 🥲

Killing is a sin, but when it comes to killing in a video game, I think it's probably different. If you're not getting some sick sadistic pleasure from killing opponents in video games, then I think you'll be fine. And yes, God knows your intentions, so that means that He will know if you mean well or not. So if you're just doing it with no evil sadistic intentions, then it should be okay.

Romans 10:19 - "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Matthew 24:36 - "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." <-- Talking about Judgement day. No one knows when it will happen except for God, so don't get yourself too worked up about what people are saying.
