    Asking for prayers

    I am very afraid right now. I am afraid I have committed the unforgivable sin or apostasized, or am not really a believer and not really saved. Let me begin by saying I was raised in church and baptised around six years old (I think). I wasn't just going to church because my parents did although...

    Mercy

    Please pray for God to have mercy and give me another chance. I strayed from Christianity into athiesm and Taoism and I now reject those things but I fear it's too late. Like God doesn't love me anymore. Many people on CF will even tell you someone who strays is not really a believer or twice...

    Doubt and conviction

    I feel like I have a lot of doubts. I know intellectually God has to exist but it's like I have an unbelieving heart. I don't even fear hell like I should. It's like I have to watch my own heart harden and burn and I can't stop. I feel like God is done giving me chances. Not because He's cruel...

    Things worrying me

    About sending the HS away, I don't want Him to go but I keep saying these things I don't feel Him with me now and I'm afraid I've been left forever. Please pray for God to have mercy on me and give the HS into me again to save me and lead me. I am afraid of these words, like in Matthew 12 of...

    Asking For Prayers

    I want to ask for prayers that God will have mercy on me. That He will change my heart to love Him and hate sin. That He will give me faith to endure anything. That I will be convicted of sin and convinced of grace. That I will be given the HS and saved by Jesus. And that I will not want to live...

    Anxiety

    I can feel the fear, if that makes sense, I feel it in me. I'm so scared and we have people over for Mother's Day but I'm scared and I want to go hide I feel like I'm about to completely break down I'm scared. I have blasphemous thoughts and don't think I have saving faith. I described it a...

    Feel like a hypocrite

    I talk to other people and give all sorts of advice and fear that I myself am not saved. I am afraid of committing Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, apostasy (I came to Christ at a young age and had amazing supernatural experiences, then around sixteen became depressed, had doubts, and wondered if I...

    Stuck in the middle

    I want to read more and become one of those great apologeticists that has an answer for like everything but I'm also terrified of not being saved and being rejected or blinded by God so that I cannot be saved because He simply doesn't want me anymore (blasphemy, apostasy, mark of the beast....)...

    Me again

    I'd like to ask for prayers for mercy again. It's pretty clear but I'll recap for people who don't know me: My biggest fear is that through apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-6, and idolatry passages/straying), selling my soul (Mark 8:36), or the unpardonable sin (Blasphemy of the HS Matthew 12, Mark 3...

    Resentful thoughts

    There are times where I feel so abandoned by God. I have questioned God and had thoughts of cursing Him and giving up trying. It's such an uphill battle for me. Like trying to climb a mountain with my feet chained to two trucks. It's hard not to feel like 1984. Like I had one bad thought. I did...

    On the radio...

    I heard this song. Not making it up. It describes a woman with tear-stained eyes. She feels utterly defeated, and unlovable, asking "How did I end up here/get like this?" Might have said if she can ever return. Idk maybe that was reading myself into her but it was more... seemed like someone...

    Feeling sick thinking about this

    I have been a Christian since about four or five, although I had a period last year of identifying as atheist then Taoist. People say a true Christian would never do that. That I wasn't saved before, or if I was saved I've crossed an unforgivable line. Could I have been saved? It scares me so...

    I'm starting to remember why

    I remember why I disbelieved for a while. I was very depressed off and on and had a blog on tumblr of uplifting things so I could go through it and feel better. Only after a while I noticed the Buddhist quotes always picked me up most. I started wondering if a different religion was the answer...

    Fear of God and Hell is killing me

    Please pray for me. I don't know if I was saved and lost salvation, never was saved, or was saved and am saved. I have nearly no hope. I constantly have blasphemous and evil thoughts, and they're not all impulsive. I fear I have committed the unpardonable sin (Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-30...

    Apostasy among religious leaders exposed! (video)

    Hi all. Here's a fairly crunchy, hard-hitting commentary about apostasy among Christians. The video is roughtly 14 minutes, so a little longer than usual, but the message is solid. As usual, I look forward to hearing what others think of the message in the video. Let's have some good discussion!

    Forever Lost???

    I have an uneasy feeling. Ten years ago when I became a believer I was on fire for the LORD. I believed in orthodox christian teachings, I went to church, I read my bible, I prayed. As the years went by I grew colder, little by little. First, it was Open Theism and the teachings of Greg Boyd...

    Problems With the Nicene Creed of 381 A.D.

    There are two outstanding problems that I have with the Nicene creed of 381 A.D., but before I start, it should be known that I believe in the Triune God; the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are the three Persons or three Witnesses within the One God. Did you get that? I believe that...
