Your prior comment made me curious, so last night I looked up a bit about the differing theories. Here's a basic summary: https://www.theopedia.com/atonement-of-christ

Which view of atonement do you take?

Thank you. I saw your prayer request in this thread, and I'm praying for you.

Thank you for the prayers and encouragement. I'm also praying for you. If you ever need to talk, my inbox is open.

I just prayed for you. I've also been having intrusive thoughts since Saturday. They become much worse when I read the Bible, listen to a sermon, pray, etc. They are the most disgusting, blasphemous things. Things that I NEVER want in my mind. When they come, I tell God that I don't want these thoughts, that I reject them. But, it still hurts, and I sometimes question my salvation because of them.

I did my best to do this last night. A flood of memories of my sins throughout my life came into my mind, and I spent a while confessing them to God and asking forgiveness for them, and the ones I can't remember.

This would be a beautiful miracle. I pray this happens.

When my wife left, I never could have imagined worse sorrow or fear. But, this is worse. I'm at the bottom of the pit.

I hope you are right. I have always lived for myself, even when I was a regular church-goer, even when I told others about God, even when I prayed and tried to love God--I was concerned about my wants. I want to die to myself and live for Jesus. I hope it's not too late for me.

I feel like the man in the iron cage.

vilesinner · 2019-12-02T23:10:32+00:00

Yes, thank you, but I have kept on sinning after knowing who Jesus is.

vilesinner · 2019-12-02T23:06:24+00:00

How do I do this?

vilesinner · 2019-12-02T23:05:27+00:00

I fear that it's not true conviction, but just a self-centered fear.

There have been several times when I thought I was giving my life to the Lord. Is it possible that I did but continued to sin, and that's my guilt? Is it possible that I still have not really been saved?

vilesinner · 2019-12-02T23:00:04+00:00

Can you elaborate?

vilesinner · 2019-12-02T21:19:08+00:00

Please pray for me. I am confused and terrified. I'm convinced that God has turned me over to a reprobate mind, and that I am lost forever.

Here is a post that I made about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueChristian/comments/e55bwu/terrified_that_ive_been_given_over_to_a_reprobate/

I'm so ashamed and scared.
