    Help with choice in video games...

    Elija, no one is getting involved with the "snare of the fowler". There is NO magic in this game. When in the video game an ice barb or whatever are cast, is there actually a spell being cast? No. It's a video game. You press a button, electrical stuff happens in the computer, and the pixels on...

    Help with choice in video games...

    Ok guys, this is kinda stupid, but I'd appreciate some advice. There's two games I want to play (or one of the two). One is World of Warcraft, and the other is Warhammer Online. The character I want to play in Warhammer Online is called the Witch Hunter. The problem is well, the Witch Hunter...

    Does God still hear me if I might not be saved?

    Ok... Yes, that is repentance. I would really like to believe this. That believing in Christ is enough, but the passages I posted make me doubt. Hehe. Man sometimes... sometimes. So if I believe in Christ and repent I'm saved? That's it? Wow, thanks you solved my problem. No wait, you didn't...

    Does God still hear me if I might not be saved?

    The sad and scarry thing is that I want to repent to avoid Hell. I guess I don't mind Jesus being my King and all, but wanting to "be obidient to a God I love" isn't really me. So I really hope you're wrong in some way. Yes, I've prayed the sinners prayer that some churches like to do, I've...

    Does God still hear me if I might not be saved?

    Ok, I accept repentance as it is: Necessary for Christ to save me. I can't be saved without it, I give up. But repentance is hard if not impossible for me. So many sins (that may or may not be sins), so many bad thought patterns. I just can't seem to reach that true repentance. My question then...

    What can I do?

    Thanks guys. I have one last question. Do you first come to Christ (not necessarily repenting for all your sins), and he saves you and helps you repent for your sins? Or, do you come to Christ repenting for your sins already, and he forgives you and saves you?

    What can I do?

    Probably a weak Christian, but I don't want to be. How do I wait for God to give me the job he wants for me? How do I know (when the job gets here) it will be the job God wanted for me? Ok, so this job, the pirated software one, is not one God wants for me. So what do I do now? I don't have...

    What can I do?

    Man, sometimes I wish it were just easier to explain my situation. I'll try to clarify a bit more. Let me ask you some things. If I chose wrong do I go to hell? I'm assuming you would chose what you believe is God in this situation (i'm not completely certain it's a strict choice between God...

    What can I do?

    LilLamb, read the post right above yours. It answers some of your questions. Let me try to clarify my stance. I don't feel disgusted by software pirating. I'm not saying I'm sickened by his sins and want to be away from that person. Some of you are completely misunderstanding what I'm saying...

    What can I do?

    I appreciate the help guys, but let me explain some things: I think I know what a conviction feels like. I am convicted that I did something wrong when I watch inappropriate content, I am convicted that I did something wrong when I am rude to my parents, I am convicted when I lie to my brother. I believe this...

    What can I do?

    WARNING: Only read if you are a faithful Christian. I don't want to make anyone else stumble. I had had a hard time finding a good job that required my college experience. With the economy being what it is I was in a rut. I finally found a good job. It was a small business, but I was going to...

    Justification, Sanctification, Repentance?

    Ummm.... I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about here. Fleshy sinner? Rom 3:20 says that we can not be justified by works (hence the need to be justified by faith). Again, I'm not too sure what you are talking about with Gal 5:4. I thought this passage was about people who after...

    Justification, Sanctification, Repentance?

    So I recently found out about the doctrine of Justification and Sanctification, which might help me finally be at peace. It seems that all along I had been putting sanctification before justification (as a prerequisite), which was essentially destroying me. But I'm still not comfortable. There...

    I'm so tired of this.

    The thing is I don't always know what he wants. Like you said about the "no wading" rule. My fears would tell me "it's a rule, God seems to like us sticking to rules", where I would also think oh they probably just mean "no lawsuits when you drown". At this point my fears would overpower me and...

    I'm so tired of this.

    Just for the record I've read the Gospels twice, all of Acts, Romans, and a couple of other things. As for the video game. Is it a silly thing or a serious thing? I believe that the rules the company came up with were to not get robbed by several people playing on the same account. I think if...

    I'm so tired of this.

    Ok, the Hebrews 10:26 thing makes more sense, but what messed me up is that it was presented differently at my church. I guess I don't feel like a slave to sin, but there are a few things I can't seem to shake, but those things aren't the nitpicky things I talk about. One nitpicky thing is...

    I'm so tired of this.

    How the heck am I going to make it? I'm so tired of God (or the confusion and stress of trying to figure out what God wants me to do and when the holy spirit is talking to me). I absolutely hate reading the Bible now. I hate to say it, but I do. I understand not hurting people, forgiving (even...

    I'm so angry at God right now...

    Thanks for the responses guys. Sure, I'd appreciate any prayer for me.

    I'm so angry at God right now...

    The problem is that I have no idea what you are talking about, so I have no idea what you mean by "them".
