God is Real. Repent Jesus is coming!!!
Good for you <3
Our Bible was written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit and the bible does contain evidence of things that are still here, how they came to be and things that our future has in store ^_^ for example :D the new testament was written more than 2016 years ago... and in the old testament it prophesied Jesus's coming, his name etc. and it also prophesied that there will come a time when a huge army will try to kill all Jews (Abolf hitler and his Nazi army World war 2 1939) and it says that those that rose against his people will be burn instantly their eyes will be consumed in their eye sockets and their souls vanished before their bodies hit the ground. That is an exact description of the Nuclear bomb used in World War 2
you know, sometimes, im not sure if ill make it to heaven because the way i am, i just love the world too much and make things idols, i believe in the truth but its a struggle to end my wicked ways, honestly, i wish my temptations wasn't so strong and i wish society would accept us instead of thinking us like conspiracy theorists
I'm exactly the same way. I hate myself for my sin. @escamer I think more of earthly things than I do of God. I try, but you get consumed down here.
I cant truly repent and turn away from my wicked ways, but I still try, but, if jesus is coming faster than I think, I wont be saved
All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me c: Like the scripture in Galatians chapter 5 talks about walking in the spirit!
YEAH! IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH! :D
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." ~James 4:7
you know, my faith and hope is very strong, not many have that, but I have so many problems that seem too late to fix
If you're walking in the spirit, you wont fullfil the lust of the flesh c: That means praying, reading the Bible, fasting, seeking after God, and so on c:
*fulfill
But it is harder for younger folks to be a Christian, especially with the influence of the world around us. But you keep on seeking after God, and thinking on the things which are holy.
I believe in God, I have faith in him, and I know he can do anything. But my chief worry is that I don't know if I'm sincerely his child or not. Its easy to get all puffed up online and talk about things, but none of this stuff really matters once you realize how week you are if you don't have God.
weak* not week <.<
chanty, I believe that's right, but, honestly, sometimes I cant read the bible at night because wordly things get in my way OR I just become so tired I fall asleep while reading it, I honestly don't have the time and I wish I had more time to improve my character so I can be saved, but I cant because we don't have much time
same @Atsie
@escamer I try to read one chapter a day in the mornings...just anywhere in the Bible, and anything so that way I can get something that I know the Lord wrote. But its hard. I feel like I get bored easily. I get tired. Its complicated to read sometimes. And on and on. Its hard, but its the try that counts.
Catholics are so lost everyone thinks this is Jesus http://i.imgur.com/tcJgmHd.png but here is a pic of satan and he's doing the same hand signs as Jesus http://i.imgur.com/FQRWS1m.png
i know that feel @Atsie maybe its satan just trying to stop us
Oh I understand. Trust me, I know. When I was in public school, talk about a heathen, I was one LOL. But if you keep on wanting God, and if you keep on trusting him. Don't you ever think God will forget about you. My step-mom is a living testimony. She was the worst of the WORST. As a young person, she did her drugs, she left at 16, she ran off with people, she drank, and all the things you could think of. But if you see her today, you would NEVER think she used to be that person. You just keep on thinking about God, and keep on trying to live your best according to his word.
I've thought of that. @escamer When I think of that, I get so mad because i want to resist Satan...not fall for him.
Wow, you really know, you two! It is Satan, tbh. Because when he knows there is someone who wants more than just an ordinary life style, and tired of being empty, he will do his absolute best to try to get that person to stay away from the things of God.
That's why you have scientist, who have created evolution, to put God out of the way, and to confuse people on the topic of God existing, or not existing. Like the Bible says, men will make wicked imaginations and believe their own lies.
Listen to Chanty :D shes a great counselor ^_^ she helped me
Honestly, i feel like God has some special plans for me because everytime i end up doing something bad and knowing it, bad luck usually happens to me, and it isn't a coincidence because it has happened soooo many times. I think the bad luck is a punishment from God reminding me things have consequences, i don't think he leaves me when i sin and i know it tho, because i used to be haunted by demons allot and for some weird reason, it stopped all of a sudden and its either because im too far away from God or im too close that the demons cant get to me, but what i think is actually happening is that when i was a child, it was easy for the demons to get to me and God let them haunt me to know he is real and there are things out there and maybe it was a test of faith for me, but all i know is that God is real and i see it all around me, and im afraid of falling in the wrong direction and it becomes too late i cant save myself, but it seems God cares for me and considers me special because he doesn't leave me when i sin, he punishes me and that's true love because he wants me in the right direction, that's why parents also punish us, because they want the good for us.
True. It makes me CRAZY watching everyone fall for the evolution nonsense. I get taught it in school EVERY day of my life, and I have to fight it and constantly say "nope, not true. Nope God did that, not gorilla's....Nope...No...NO!"
When you leave out the doors of your parents house, and step into independence, you will either live for God, or live for the enemy. Like the scripture in Matthew 6:24, you can't serve two master, just one.
That's true chanty
When i was just a child, i used to tell everyone about God and all the truth we know, and allot of people believed me and was impressed that i spoke with detail and knew what i was talking about, i actually got some of my cousins and adults to believe in God but then they just stopped and turned away from God and believed what they believed before and just decided to stay with a normal life
Oh I understand atsie. They literally tried to convince me that evolution was a fact! I was like, "no no no! I know God is real. i have felt his presence, I have seen the supernatural happen before my very own eyes, and I can't deny it because I would be lying to myself, and I would know it."
Escamer, that's actually a scripture: "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." Don't you give up on God, as he has never given up on you. I know right now, you might feel like, there is absolutely NO WAY you will ever ever make it to heaven, but let me tell you. There is a story in the Bible that talks about the man that was at the graves, cutting himself, and the Bible says he had legions. Legions is about 7,000 demons. And Jesus delivered him that very moment. Not even the Devil could stop him from running from Jesus. You guys, the devil can't stop you from getting to God, but that's what he wants you to think. Romans 8:8:38-39: "38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
You know, sometimes when i think i wont be saved, I just think to myself that i could take advantage of the time i have and make the most of it because i think im not gonna be saved BUT at the same time, i don't wanna blasphemy God so much that i can turn back, because i know how to get famous and how all those celebrities got famous, i could be part of that by turning to satans side, and those are one of my temptations but i honestly am too scared to turn to satans side because then i know for 100% sure im not going to be saved while if i still try to the end, i still have the chance to be saved, and that's the only reason why im still Christian and still have faith that God will change me somehow, but he wont just change me magically, i have to do my part first and try to change myself then he will do his part and actually change me
Mark 5: 2-8 "2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. "
These things break your heart.....when someone believes in that stuff, and on top of that you get close to them. My dad always tries to comfort me with the fact that if you are WORRIED about your salvation, then thats a good thing. But if your just convinced that your a Christian and got this God stuff down, then not only that action but also other actions in your life will lead one to wonder if you are truly saved or now.
chanty, i know that story c:
honestly, that is possible but remember that there will be a little group of people compared to what satan has got, and that little group will be the ones going to heaven while the others arent
Escamer, if you have thoughts coming to you that are like that, it's the Devil tbh. You might be thinking it's your own thoughts, but it's really not. But we all know, there is one name under heaven by which we might be saved, and that name is Jesus c: Rebuking them in the most powerful name, makes them flee. James 2:19 - "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
and it scares me because i think that i will be unlikely to be in that group, and if i end up being there, i would praise God til i collapse
@ChantySquirrel1129** i know its satan, and the only reason why i didn't fall for what he is making me think is because im too scared to fall on satan's side
The Bible says that the Matthew 7:13-14 - " Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
My name is Nephesh Amiel and in Hebrew it means "a lamb in the flock of God" and honestly, i don't want to make people sad because i didn't live up to my name, and i want to live up to my name too, that's why i still try, i have several reasons why i still try, but honestly, when i get depressed, none of them seem to make sense to me anymore
Don't fear Satan, only fear God. "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
Yes, it is good to fear for your salvation @Atsie Philippians 2:12 - Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
I fear God because he decides if im going to heaven or not, and i have the decision to choose which side i am on, and that's what scares me
Escamer, don't be discouraged. Your story is not over yet, but God is writing your story (: And in the end, you will have a testimony to tell. But have faith, and fear God ONLY! Satan is nothing but a wimp, in reality, but sneaky, and clever. but don't be fooled by him c: Seek after God, keep living holy, for God id holy :)
Like the Bible says, only fear God. :)
What is your religion, escamer? c:
thank you chanty, you are very helpful, but i am also afraid of myself because i might fall in the wrong path
oh, well im Christian, but if you want me to be specific then im an adventist
Oh I knew you were a Christian, but I just wanted to know your exact beliefs :3 But don't give place to the Devil. For he's like a lion, seeking whom he may devour. But Keep on fearing God, and living for the Lord. Keep reading the Bible. Maybe you should start reading in the New Testament :) The New Testaments are FULL of wisdom and knowledge and a completion of great writings c: Then as time goes by, start reading the Old Testament, starting in Genesis, or where you are at! Keep on going forward, and seeking your own salvation, with fear and trembling of God. God will, I promise you, direct your path, if you want him too. Don't give up, because God gave his very own life for you, and the rest of this world. He made a way when there was no way. All things are possible through Christ who strengthens us! :3
cx im in the new testament rn, im in revelations, and i read the bible several times since i was little and i know most of the stories BUT everytime i go over the bible again, i learn new things, and that amazes me
O.M.G WHEN eva i hear those words i'm scared...and fear of that day ;~;
RIGHT??? OMS The Bible is soo FULL of amazing things!!! *u* *o* Thank God that we have a great book filled with wisdom from God's heart <3333 Now we are able to make it to heaven to be with God. :333
Keep on following after the ways of God, Alone! And stay holy, and read the Bible and obey the voice of God! It scares me soo much too ;o; but let's hope we'll make it :)
ty chanty, I will
My pleasure, Nephesh :)
Pretty sure fear is understood to be meant as acknowledgement, not actual fear. (Just putting this out there, no idea if this is a majority understood thing.)
huh??
Fear is to fear the Lord, not just acknowledgement. Fearing that you might sin against the Lord, and fearing if he would be able to forgive you or not. Fearing if he would have a punishment for you, for the sins that you committed. There's not scripture in the Bible saying that God has to forgive someone. Romans 9:18 - "Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth." We serve the very same God that was very picky on how the priest worked in the tabernacle. In the Bible, they use to have to tie a rope around the priest ankles because if they didn't enter in the tabernacle right, they would be struct dead. That God is the God we serve today, he is just now very merciful. Doesn't mean we have to take advantage of it and do all the sin we want and believe we'll get away with it. God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom, because it'll make you understand that God is not a God that is playing around when it comes to sinning from your own lust. And you'll fear to ever sin, because of your fear of God, and his power. Anyone can acknowledge God, doesn't mean they care enough to stop doing the sinful things they do. But when someone fears God Almighty, with actual fear, they realize that God can have his wrath on the person anytime he pleases because of their sin. Thus, actually fearing God will make you an obedient child of God.
YES INDEED! :D
Apply fear to worship deems a greedy mechanism.
Read the scripture again :3
CHANTY :DDDD GO ON CHATS I HAVENT SEEN U IN FOREVER
OKIE DOKIE :33
Amen
