• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Yahuweh (the Creator Almighty ) scheduled all of our lives before

the universe and world were created. In His Perfect Wisdom and Unlimited Knowledge,

He Always Knew and Always Knows what all of us everywhere are going through.

He provided ALL THAT IS NEEDED EXTRAVAGANTLY GENEROUSLY , for all time in this life, and in the next life (eternal life).

If we can find out from HIM, this is good.

That depends on your consumption. What are you watching?

Earlier this year I saw a video about Golden State which led to more videos. Because I hadn’t watched a game in years. That meant getting up to speed on the team. Becoming a Steph and KD fan. And watching games and commentary. So now I’m laughing at Stephen A, Skip & Shannon, and the comments from LeBron fans.

Was it sinful? No. Was it edifying? Not a chance. What made me stop? The media messages. They pushed a narrative I didn’t see in other sports. And I didn’t want that in my head.

Hi my friend.

It's a good sign that you're questioning these things. You're on the right path.

Is it a sin to watch movies and listen to music on the internet?

It depends what you watch and listen to. Do the lyrics in your music glorify God? Are they sinful? Are the movies you watch righteous?

What should you do to spend time?

The greatest commandment is, love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. This means God should be your priority. Spending time praying, reading His words, etc.
It's difficult in this age to spend time accordingly. We are conditioned to being a part of the world. When we listen to worldly music, watch worldly movies, we equally partake in the world and that is a sin.

Go spend your time helping someone. Volunteer somewhere. Give someone your time and effort who needs it, in the name of Jesus. There's many things to do, but it's hard to see them when our minds are clouded by the things of this world.

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.

Thank the good Lord I am smart enough not to take everything literally nor am I an evangelical like you might be

"The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’"

The OP has not acknowledged what he’s viewing. Addressing his concern isn’t a lack of intelligence.

Go back and read who I was responding to, it wasn't the OP

Apparently not if you thought I was talking to the OP, because I was not responding to the OP but another poster which is quite clear because I quoted the post I was responding to.
