I'm sick being a Christian

[Super Gnat]

I'm not going to go to hell. Satanists can be good people you know, and until you've met any you have no right or reason to say otherwise

People DON'T go to hell just because they aren't Christian. Learn to see past your narrow-minded thoughts.

Just because my views and opinions differ from yours (and i'm talking to everyone here) doesn't mean that I'm "wrong" or "evil" or a "sinner". It's sad, and i'm sorry to say it, but you people act like you are brainwashed.

If God is so loving and caring, then I doubt he would be corrupted enough to send people to an eternity of torment. That's not a loving God, that's a dictator.

You may believe what you wish, which is also a part of free will. I'll be praying for you.

this is one of the things that turn so many people away from Christianity and also makes it a fire escape religion. me ,being a SDA, dont beleive that our loving God will be unjust and sending people immediately to hell and for eternity i believe there will be a hell but it wont last for eternity all of the wicked will be burnt up but listen im not saying "oh dont worry if u die a nonchristian when u get to hell ull only be there for a second" no a sinner will be burnt (im probaly saying it wrong) untill the punishment is paid PM me if you want to know and ill give ya a link since im not good a making legthy papers like this

alright you know what l admit no one is perfect don't turn against god ever please l understand you have been hurt. We all have been hurt by people l'm not a perfect person but l would never turn away from God thats the worset thing you could ever do just start by praying to God about this. Give it a while if that doesn't work talk to a pastor at a church. It just might work and the pastor will give some great no tips to you. And help you along the way good luck

I'm sick of being a Christian. It isn't working for me. I treat people around me like crap and it's because I'm not happy within myself. I have tried being God's child and it's not working out for me. I am too opinionated, too arrogant and too different. Humans are naturally selfish creatures and that's what I am. I have a sad pathetic life, and it's all thanks to being a child of God, he is making me very miserable.

I believe Satanism may be the religion for me afterall. God is proving this to me. I asked for answers and I'm getting them.

We don't always change overnight and you are probably your worst critic.
Take it easy on yourself.

I'm new to this forum. Let's see if I can start making good posts early.

Nobody ever said that being a Christian was easy. Yes, you are told that finally turning yourself over to God is a wonderful experience, a blessing in the eyes of those who already have, and it makes you a happier person. This is true, but, like all good things worth doing, it doesn't come easy. It is much easier to go down a bad path then a righteous one. Temptation always makes it seem easier. But, in the end, it really isn't. You say humans are naturally selfish beings. People also say that God gave us free will, so if somebody chooses another religion, they shouldn't be punished by God for it. The fact is though, God gave us free will as the ultimate test for our love towards him. God loves each and every one of us unconditionally. He can only ask that we feel the same towards him, and that we worship him and celebrate him and his son that he sent to Earth to die for our sins. So, no, you're not going to be happy all the time being a christian, but you won't be happy all the time no matter what you do. It's never going to be easy, but in the end, it's worth it.

I'm miserable being a Christian, it's as simple as that. I'm sick being miserable. This Christian thing just isn't working at the moment, perhaps one day it will, but for now it's just not happening for me. I'm completely miserable and I'm taking it out on others. I need a change.

My friend, it sounds like the change you need in your life is the change that is only brought through salvation.....accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Church and religion have absolutely nothing to do with being saved. That lonely, emptiness that we discover in ourselves can only be filled by that personal relationship with Christ......definitely not the devil.

Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

Romans 10:10 "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Salvation is not something we can do for ourselves, it is all on the part of God. All we have to do is ask Him.....He gives us the faith necessary to believe and accept His grace.

Ephesians 2:8 & 9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: "Not of works, lest any man should boast."

I do hope these scriptures help you. You will be in my prayers.

Not only does God give us free will but He protects that free will right to heaven or hell. Anyone who's in hell or will end up there CHOSE to go there.

I never thought the christian thing worked for me, and it was mostly because of other christians, one thing that really irked me I would ask for help with something and they would preach the bible but not give me any real advice, I was also judge harshly for have a mood disorder. But Now I'm giving GOD another chance, I know it's not his fault how some christians act. I do hope you give this all a chance, do know GOD can't control all christians and how they treat others.

Very true. Free will works in all directions! People, Christians and everyone else, is free to treat people however they like. Of course there are consequesnces for treating people bad and not feeling love in your heart.

I have a sad pathetic life, and it's all thanks to being a child of God, he is making me very miserable.

I believe Satanism may be the religion for me afterall. God is proving this to me. I asked for answers and I'm getting them.

1) Have you tried other reglions me personally, I don't think the reglion (caltoics) would work for me to many things that I don't agree with personally.

2) Don't let the situation change you, you change the situation

3) I can go with that some Humans are selfish, and all but God can it. It's not who you are it's something you ran to. It is something that people have in their hearts something hich isn't good.

4) Have you ever heard of the prodical son?

5) God isn't the one proving it to you, though he might be proving that you do need hm and if it was for you you would be living right now.

6) Check to see who it's from, even if you don't believe in God he has your best interest in heart.

7) Where is your faith?No matter what you need to stand on his his word.

8) Let me tell you when you are a child of God and annionted you are going to go through some thing not just adults and not just kids. You go through to keep your self humble and before God. Have you everheard if it's been a while sine you have gone through something check yourself. Because being a child of God we are going to go through but it's for our sake. God is making and molding us. But you need to have the faith that you will come up of the situation.

9) One thing I do get this isn't just you or anything it's in general I have seen. When people are going through they stop praising God or they just give it up just ike that. When you arre going through it's the time to praise God. When you are praising him through the situation you are praising your way out of the situation. Being a chriistian is a daily thing and believe me it's not always easy but God i there to help us through it out but you need to believe he will bring you out of that thing just in time. When you are going through it's not the time to throw in the towel it's time to be on your knees even more than before.

10) But at the end you win. Suffer with him now and ou will rain with him forever. The first still be last and the last shall be first.Ephians 6:11-17. PLus the devil is trying to get many as he can to go down with him.He is trying to destory you.He doesn't care who we are or what we have done. If you are a threat to his kingdom he will come up against you. Becuase he sees the potential in us and what we can do for the kingdom of heaven. I wil con.'t to pray for you God Bless you indeed

this is the number one problem with religion

focusing on self and what would best make ME happy

Hi SaintMarco, sorry to hear about all this. I think I know how you're feeling. Sometimes it seems like you've got all these barriers between you and friends, peers - whoever. It's rough and makes you ask yourself a lot of questions. But I'm afraid this is where the 'bad' news comes.

This is how it is. Jesus said that by following him, we were choosing the rough life. It isn't going to be easy. In fact, he went as far to say that it would be hard. As Christians we have an outlook on life, death and just about everything that most people don't like and/or can't understand. So, I guess your problem of feeling shunted is something I can't say will go away, or for that matter, stay around. As Christians we just try to see what God wants us to do in these situations and get help and support from him and Christians like us.

and it's because I'm not happy within myself

Guess you need what it is that is eating away at you. It could be a whole range of things, from something you need forgiveness for, to something you haven't done but need to. You've got to remember that just as often as not that these grievances we get are for things we haven't done, rather than done. If you're still willing to do it, you need to pray on this.

That's got to be the best advice I can give you. Whether you believe it will accomplish something or not, sit down and pray. I mean really pray. Talk to God, one-on-one and sort some stuff out. Feel it out, ask God to guide you.

Oh, and if you ever want to talk anything I've said through with me please just send me an e-mail at seito@hotmail.co.uk.

[thankuCHRIST]
