    Justification, Sanctification, Repentance?

    "To me this says that repentence is the "currency" to buy justification (salvation), and so justification is not as free as I thought the Bible indicated." I have been struggling with the same feeling. I'm not big enough in my walk yet to give amazing/life-changing advice. However, I hope that...

    Do you belive in Hell?

    Isn't hell more of a place to be completely excluded from God and his love? I know all depictions of hell is a place of fire (which it probably is), but the "worst" part of it is that you no longer have any touch with God or Jesus or the Holyspirit. Correct me if i'm wrong.

    Repent?

    These are all great replies. The reason I brought this up was because all through out high school, my teachers would always bring up repentance. After hearing it so many times, it made me feel like there was this "condition" that I had to meet in order to truly be forgiven of my sins. That is to...

    Repent?

    I've been struggling with this lately. When repenting sins, can one truly repent all of their sins? Also, when we fall, doesn't that mean we broke our promise of repenting? I don't see how I can ever truly repent of all of my sins under the strict definition of the word. However, that doesn't...

    I would really like to ace my electrical engineering class this summer. It is one of the hardest classes I've taken. Pray that I can do the best I can in it. Thanks! -Christian Kotanen

    The devil and my soul

    I read through your post hlaltimus. How could I know exactly if a demon is inside of me? Ought it be blatantly obvious? What exactly does a demon do inside a person?

    The devil and my soul

    "Tell the devil to take it from Jesus if he's big enough!" I love that quote. I'm really starting to feel better. Jesus is really helping me to put all of this behind me. I pray that my life can now start to better reflect Christ. I know definitely that my life wasn't reflecting Christ before...

    The devil and my soul

    Hey Lisa, it really changes perspective when you know there are others who have suffered similar. I know that God is using this time to build be up to become a better christian. I'm also doing my best to just forget about the idea of loss of salvation because I know Jesus won't let that happen...

    The devil and my soul

    Here is an update. My pastor is gone until Wednesday, so I won't be able to bring my problem to my church until then. I am feeling better than I did two days ago. There is still this nagging in my heart so I have to keep asking for Jesus to take my thoughts and burdens every few seconds. This is...

    The devil and my soul

    Thanks Tapero, so much. I guess I was (and still sort of am) afraid of losing my salvation due to the fact that I already confessed to Christ being my savior a long while back (3-4) years ago. The thought of not having Christ in my life made me feel very hopeless. Desperation ensued due to fact...

    The devil and my soul

    Thanks for the scriptures, I'll be sure to read over those daily. I agree, drich, pride deffinitely took the reigns. I believe the feeling of hopelessness was an immediate punishment, but I know I don't have to undergo eternal punishment. The problem lies with praying half-heartedly. I'm feeling...

    The devil and my soul

    I should probably mention a few things about myself. I am slightly OCD to the point that it is hard for me to drop something in my mind. This is probably how Satan is so easily able to bring this feeling of hopelessness to my mind so easily. I'm also an extreme perfectionist. Neither of these...

    The devil and my soul

    My name is Christian, I am a college student working towards becoming an engineer. I am new to these forums, hopefully everything I write is according to the rules. If anything is out of place, I wish a moderator to remove it immediately. My problem: Recently I got really mad at someone. This...
