How do I find myself? Do I seek within myself? I'm so confused..its like I don't know who I am

N.F.L. players across the country demonstrated during the national anthem on Sunday in a show of solidarity against President Trump, who scolded the league and players on Twitter this weekend.

■ With the support of owners, some of whom joined their teams on the field, dozens of players knelt in silent protests, while Tom Brady and others opted to stand and lock arms.

■ The Seattle Seahawks and the Tennessee Titans stayed in their locker rooms during the anthem in Nashville. The Pittsburgh Steelers also skipped the anthem in Chicago.

■ After the demonstrations began, Mr. Trump weighed in on Twitter, saying he approved of players locking arms, but declaring that kneeling during the anthem was “not acceptable.”

The entire offensive...

So this is something I've been curious about for a long time. I never would have doubted that you can be a born again Christian and be mentally ill if someone hadn't told me otherwise. I know what I personally but, as a Christian with a mental illness, I'm interested in hearing what others have to say.
Do you believe that someone can be a born again Christian and yet still be mentally ill?

Edit: illnesses like, for example, depression or anxiety or schizophrenia, etc.

Hello, I just recently joined on here and I wasn't sure where to go. I grew up in a Christian home but did not go to church, when I met my boyfriend he started bringing me to church with him which is Pentecostal. I loved it there for awhile but I've been there for about a year and a half now and I feel as if I'm constantly being judged. I raise my hands I speak in tongues, etc but no matter what I feel like I'm constantly under scrutiny by the leaders. I love Pentecostal trust me I have never felt so alive before, but tonight at church I went to the altar and I felt his presence like never before and some of the leaders made other leaders listen to me as If I fake everything I do and then continued to talk about how some are not right...

Jesus said:

“You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matt 5:48 RSV

However, I’m always hearing people say that it is impossible to be perfect. Keeping in mind that the Lord helps us, is it that hard to repent of our sin?

How do you guys deal with trolls on social networks?

Sometimes when you ask an innocent question and you're not even trying to start a fight, someone sometimes insult you for no reason at all. I don't always get it. They call you names or they insult your intelligence. Why do they do that?

How do you deal with that? And how do you learn to not get offended by trolls?

Ask yourself, why would Paul writing to the Thessalonian church tell them they would not be gathered to the Lord before the great apostasy and revealing of the Antichrist?, who is now restrained by God (through Michael and his angels who fights the DRAGON and his angels and always wins), unless it was TRUE, that the church will be gathered to Jesus Christ (rapture event) by the angels of God at the end of this age after the great apostasy and revealing of the son of the devil as world leader and ruler?

If you believe any other thing you are believing in a lie. The Day of Christ signals our being gathered (raptured- collected by the angels to be with Christ forever), and is our salvation we long for to deliver us from this present...

I knew this doomsday prediction was a load of baloney, nothing happened yesterday. It's a shame, I was hoping Jesus's second coming was yesterday. But then again, the Lord did say that we wouldn't know the hour and there are still things that have to happen first. Like, finding out who the Antichrist and false prophet are...etc. So, it couldn't have been yesterday. But still, I was hoping.

Should I give money to beggar?
If I don't give, am I not compassionate?
What's the Bible wants me to do?
