    Problems with discernment

    Hello everyone! I appreciate your continued support on here. I have actually recovered from many problems in my life and this has been a helpful tool. Praise God! However, recently I have been going through a mental version of what I imagine the terrors of hell to feel like, at least in part...

    Discernment

    Hello, I am happy to be here and I want to say, God bless to you all. I am sorry to be posting again but I have been trying to follow Jesus rather than mans teachings and grow in the word. I have been having a very hard time with this however. See, I only want to be able to follow the Lord...

    Persevere in Faith

    It’s because of this, that I now see God as a fiery, vengeful, and full of anger for most and very difficult to even find. I fear death and Hell. I have very little Hope in Heaven and even hope that God will take pity on me and let me in because of my mental illnesses. I can’t even really read...

    Persevere in Faith

    The doctrine of election says that not only are we separated from God, but that God is the only one who can save us. That sounds good, right? Well, not really. Not when the Bible seems to say pretty clearly that God only chooses to save his elect. It says that even though Israel was as the sand...

    Persevere in Faith

    Hi, my name is Chance. I have been having a very hard time with God. It wasn’t always like this, but it has been hard for a very long time. In the beginning, I actually had a much more difficult time. I’m all honesty, before I knew God, I was quite a mess. I have had many medical conditions...

    Where does your faith come from, brother? How do you have such great confidence? I fear God has destined me for destruction because I don’t have any faith like it. Please let me know, I would love that wisdom.

    Seeking wisdom

    I understand. I know how important it is. But it just seems impossible to be saved. Jesus makes salvation out to be almost unattainable.

    Seeking wisdom

    By the way, sorry to keep editing my post. I really just want to be able to love God without absolute fear of not being perfect, not being thrown into hell, not being deceived or hated by God

    Seeking wisdom

    I'm not trying to judge God. But I thought God cared about and loved everybody. I don’t see how sending 98% of people to torment is love. yes, that’s the reward, it why bother if the reward is almost impossible for even the saints to attain.

    Seeking wisdom

    Hello. I have been listening to an audio reading of John lately. I have just been wondering about something, something that has been really destroying my faith. God says he desires that everyone be saved. Then, in John, Jesus plainly says that he blinded people and hardened their hearts so that...

    A beautiful Revelation

    Hi, My name is Chance. In the last few days, I’ve written a few posts. The subject of these writings has been much the same. Ive been looking for answers. Why doesn’t God seem to be with me always? Why do I struggle so much? Why Can’t I seem to find God and his promises? Well, this morning I...

    A search for hope

    Hello, my name is Chance. I’ve written posts like this before, but I have been much too unfair to God in them. Let me explain: I have been having problems with God. I don’t hate God. In fact, I love Him. I long to be close to him. I want him to be my Father. But I haven’t treated him very...

    Ending it all

    Thank all of you so much. You have, by God, lifted me up and given me hope. I guess I just need to stop trying to be perfect in the world and start seeking God more. Even through fear. Maybe it's Even a good thing. Maybe the persercerenxe through fear will even teach me what God has been trying...
