Believe in him and he will help you through
If you dont believe then how can you make others believe. He is real and its never easy road but itll be worth it
This is normal for any christian to sometime with their walk in Christ the begin to doubt him...however keep in faith and continue to pray read your bible and continue to believe in him he loves you and will always love you
then think of it ...would we be able to understand the fun and excitment of good times...
now we can diffentiate between good times and bad times because we know what bad times are.....
life is a challenge and a hell lot of worth living with a mixture of good and bad times @pious
Thank u. Yes I am. But think this, every Muslim is either an infidel or an atheist to every Christian. And every Christian is an atheist or an infidel to every Muslim or Jew or Hindu or Buddhist on the same grounds. There are millions of gods among humans & Christianity rejects all of them. The reasons that a Christian has to reject all other gods & god's books, are the same for me (or for any atheist) to reject the Christian god & its bible. So, essentially, the difference between me (or any other atheist) & a Christian is only in the fact, that I reject just one more god & one more book that a Christian does.
watch the movie journey to heaven I believe you can see it in youtube.com
Gods not helping you right now becuase he helping other people through don't worry he'll come to you sooner or later God does everything to you if you don't mind I'm gonna tell you a story . Okay so me my friends and I were walking home like around 6:00 and a van comes up and says get in the van or give me your phones so we have him our phones then I said to myself God please please help me and help me get home and call the police then luckily a police came up and I told him they got arrested and I got my phone back Thanks to God everything turned out great just don't stop believing :) <3
I have a line that might help: a miracle cannot be simply be praised, one would have to earn it, be aware of it and than act upon it. If that doesn't help then try one of my lines, works for me: The mind believes in what is real, but what is real is what the mind believes.
Don't worry, you'll figure it out.
If you are a true Christian you will find it in your heart to know that God is real. Think back....why did you believe in God in the first place?
I know how u feel. Don't worry, God is real and He will help u through this tough time. Just don't lose faith.
God bless! :)
Pray to God and ask him to help you, to have faith and trust in him.
Just relax if being Christian is working out for try different religion like Buddhism paganism hinduism Islam or satanism or be atheist do what make you happy I know I left out a lot of religions but I'd be here all night if I listed them all
Proverbs 3: 5&6 , don't let the Devil persuade you !
(((Angelofmusic))) let the truth be told we are just as human as you are and we all experience moments of discouragement from time to time. My prayer is that these scriptures strengthen you.=============read==================The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. (1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT)===============read============Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! (James 5:17 NLT) All I can say is God knows we are human.============read=================He knows what we are made of;
he remembers that we are dust. (Psalm 103:14 GNT)
Doubt is the natural result of intellect; so keep at it. Remember, to doubt is to learn. As for god, I don't think that a god - if he really is a god - would have such vague vanity to reject or condemn his child for doubting his existence. If god gave you brains, I am pretty sure that he wouldn't mind if you decide to use that brain. Do not let authority to beguile you when you can "question and grow".
I knew you'd remember. You're so sweet. Gosh, I hope nobody heard me say that. Oh yeah, I forgot .... I'm in incognito. Lol
Greenie too!

my brother. unfortunately Christianity doesn’t have proper answer to reason. because of the essential pillars of faith in trinity. but Islam is completely different. you have right to think and then chose. this make your mind rest and grows.
join art of living
good suggestion. of course REAL experience beats the crap out of blind faith. could scare him and add to his current confusion. did the intro weekend of joy some time ago. i got a flash that remains with me to this day. regrettably, i lost my job the next day after completion and my checks bounced. any idea where these folks are now? still in flagstaff? would like to settle this and get on with it. 65
Talk to your pastor/ priest. Maybe you aren't the only one who has felt this way.
Assuming you're 17? Lustful thoughts are quite natural at that age. Just chill
Isaiah 26:3 tells us that God will keep us in "perfect peace" if our minds are "stayed" on Him, meaning our minds lean on Him, center on Him, and trust in Him. Be in God's Word so that when a sinful thought enters our mind (a temptation), we will be able to recognize it for what it is and know what course to take. Live in dependence upon the Holy Spirit, chiefly through seeking His strength through prayer (Matthew 26:41). If we rely upon our
own strength, we will fail (Proverbs 28:26; Jeremiah 17:9; Matthew 26:33).We are not to feed our minds with that which will promote sinful thoughts. This is the idea of Proverbs 4:23. We are to guard our hearts-what we allow into them and what we allow them to dwell on. We can use fellowship with other Christians the way God intended.
well I am one of Jehovah's witnesses and the do have something that could help. there is a magazine that is titled what is the meaning of life and it is a really good magzine an D's it could help u with that question!
Satan is attempting to renter your life you need to resist, prayer and fasting and study the word of God in this is your strength remember "put on the whole armor of God", I will add you to my prayer list. You can contact me directly at "a.paulmartin@yahoo.com". God bless and I will be praying for you.
don't be so hard on yourself, and do what makes you comfortable. There is nothing wrong with taking a step back, or taking time for yourself to discover if this lifestyle is what you really want. Sometimes you have to take a breather from things and no one including God is going to crucify you for it.
Gods testing you. beacuse if your feeling tempted to doubt God this is satan. satan is doing this to you. God is real and hes watchin you. and I have been exactly at your stage. if you are a teenager then this is normal like hormones. so dont worry! be strong in faith!! dont be a quiter, dont give up in Him! you shuld listen to lecrea. like his songs breathin to death, rebel intro, live free.(:
Greenie! :)
meaning of life is "Do you duty, without concerning about results"
right now you want to do so many things and want to contribute but people are not understanding you because so which you are losing interest ...
just remove this feeling of "becoming successful and getting recognition" rather concentrate only on doing your duties will make your life very easy
Success will follow
That's right, you are starting to see the truth only.
http://www.taoistmasterblog.com/definition-religion-chinese-taoism/
That is what religion means in chinese (very ancient Chinese0, which proven that we are long dettached from those kinds of "made up theory" already long time ago. Now you are seeing the truth, glad you did.
Be at peace in your new found reality. You are letting go of a coping mechanism and that's hard. But you will awake from it as someone who truly appreciates life for what it is as opposed to how your religion interprets it. Reality may not be pretty, but at least it real. Most people can't cope with their reality and need religion or god. That's why 90% of the answers here are pro religion because questioning it would bring down this terribly fragile house of cards.
Welcome to the matrix.
I know that for all of us it's really hard to comprehend a God that has always been here and will always be here. "What may be known about God is manifest among us, for God made it manifest to us. For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable." It also may be hard to believe in something that you've never seen or heard before but think about this. Can we see the wind?.. No. Nobody can see the wind. But you can see the things the wind does. You can see the leaves move when the wind blows through the branches of a tree. So you believe that there is wind. You can see evidence of God's existence everyday through creation; including yourself. How you are made and the things you are capable of doing. I just wanted to share my thoughts and hopefully you find this encouraging.
Meditate on Isaiah chapter 53...daily u'll defnetly be come out of lustful thoughts
In the Book of Mormon we read about the sons of one King Mosiah who developed strong faith and had "waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God.
But this is not all; they had given themselves to much prayer, and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophesy, and the spirit of revelation, and when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.
(Alma 17:2-3)
And in a revelation given through the prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord said, "Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Sharing your testimony with others also helps strengthen it.
Studying the Book of Mormon and abiding by its precepts, in addition to the Bible, will help you get nearer to God than anything else you can do.
I bear witness that these things are true, and that our Heavenly Father is mindful of each one of us, His children, and that we are very precious to Him.
Many of us have different roles to play and it's best if we are honest with our selves about that. Don't let anything get in the way of the truth. Cast aside all that makes you uncertain and be the entity you are certain you want to be without fear because nothing good will stop you from being yourself.
You say you are a Christian, but are starting to doubt God is real. I would suggest for you to get your Bible, read it, mostly the New Testament, and pray. Pray the prayer that will get you into the Holy of Holys; it is something like this; God, I come to you, in the name of Jesus, with the Spirit; then continue with what you need or want to know from God. After that, if you still doubt God then simply ask God to save you. I know you can only be saved once, but I would rather do what you had to do to get saved 1,000 times, than go through life wondering if I got it right the first time.
I will keep you in my prayers. I may not know your name but God does.
beleive in God and read his word to strengthen u stick to God like itll help A LOT please dont listen to the people who say do whatever cuz its not that simple pray, pray, pray everyday, day, day :):)
it happens to all the followers of Jesus, when you are closer to God, the enemy temps you more so you can fall, anyways the only way you are going to answer your confusion is by asking.....remember Jesus is a teacher, and when you are in confusion you ask and pray pray...when like knocks you down to your knees you are in the perfect position to pray
Having lustful thoughts is not sin, acting upon them is. Jesus was even tempted with lustful thoughts. In Hebrews 4:15 it says He was in all ways tempted, not excluding sexually. The purpose of life is to live your life and present your body a living sacrifice, to serve God and glorify Him, so if you are evangelizing, you are fulfilling the purpose of not only your life, but the life God intended every one to fulfill.
Seek out individuals that have had doubting issues and are now over them and have overcome the lies that they once believed. Everyone has seasons of doubt. It is VERY common. You will get over it. I went through a long phase where I doubted if the Lord even existed. I just kept telling myself over and over again. Don't doubt the Lord is real. Pray even when you feel that He is not listening or you dont think He is real, because He IS real and He IS listening...He wants to hear what you have to say. Read His word and get more involved then you are right now in your church home. Getting quality time with God is so special and can strengthen your relationship with Him A LOT! We all have had lustful thoughts at some time in our life and a lot of us struggle with it. Think of your relationship this way...He is in Heaven preparing a place for you. You are His bride. Your job is to remain faithful to Him.
Doubt is a healthy thing to have when you are doing God's work. Without doubt you'll follow blindly anyone claiming to be him.
You may be thinking about yourself and what others think of you too much. Are you attending a Bible teaching church? Are you reading your Bible and praying daily? Are you in fellowship with other believers? These are all very crucial to your spiritual well being. Remember to keep your eyes on Jesus. Don't look to others for your validation. Our heavenly Father knows your struggles,fears and needs. He cares for you and loves you more than anyone else. Let God help you. Don't be fooled by false religions. They'll leave you empty and weak. God bless you, we'll pray for you. Your sister in Christ, Lisa & family
Micah 6:8. What is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and to be modest in walking with your God?
Matthew 22:37-39. ??You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, l
God is very real, just keep believing. He is here and always will be. Keep being faithful to him. God has a plan for you.
Read God's word brother. It'll help. Here's some scriptures James 4:8, Acts17:27, Philippians 4:6,
its okay. its normal for even the strongest Christians to have our doubts. thats the devil working inside of us. try praying to God, asking him to help you. and trust me, He will. but that doesn't mean that what will happen is what you wanted or thought would happen. God works in the strangest ways sometimes.
The fact that you recognize your weakness (temptation, perhaps?) is a sign of your depth. Remember that you will go through seasons of ups and downs. This may be a down time. From an outsiders perspective, lustful thoughts won't lead to anything fruitful in the long-run. You'll find yourself frustrated in time and perhaps back to God even stronger. Keep an ongoing conversation with Him as you are going through this trial.
