You remind me of someone I once knew.

Romans 7
19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.

Romans 7:24
Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

I keep preaching to this guy that he must be sin free, and he never listens. He keeps practicing the very sins I told him not to commit. He keeps telling me that the death and resurrection of Jesus, has no power over his life.
Well, it is true. The death of jesus has no powe over my life. plane and simple.

Did I say sexting? I meant sexing...like....you know...sex. And putting roadblocks in the way only makes me find ways around it. Dude...there is no life in jesus for me...or anyone like me. the bible only saves people who believe the lies. Well, I tried to believe the lies, but the lies revealed themselves to be lies indeed because they were untrue. I found them to be untrue because I tried the spirit indeed. The spirit of the bible is false. I chose to not live my life by presumption any longer.

Could you possibly decide the next time you're about to have sex with another woman that you're just not going to do it this time? Follow that decision, and you will successfully have resisted that temptation. Do it one time and you'll see what it's like to successfully resist. After that, you'll see a reason to do it again in the future.

A pattern begins with a single act.

Read the very next verses.

Romans 7:25--Romans 8:1--"Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

LMAO. Man that is so funny seeing how I have done that before. Let me tell you...

I drive for Uber on weekends. Well, this one night, I was about to go have sex with my FWB, but I prayed and prayed, and while driving, I decided to not do it...I had a choice...I could have Ubered all night, or I could have went to go see my friend. That night, I did won that temptation, and it was hard as ever.. but guess what, it did not make me feel good, or happy, or victorious. And guess what...the next time....I failed. lol. See. its all BS. I have to do this all on my own, without the help of God. Its pretty pathetic actually.

Sometimes it helps if you have someone to be accountable to in matters like this. Have you talked to a pastor about this? I could even bring up the idea of mentioning it to your wife, but I don't know how your relationship is with her. Is she a professing Christian?

The truth is that Jesus is Lord of heaven and earth, you will always be under his control. You will be subjected to Jesus Christ whether you want to be or not.

Hebrews 2:8
You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him.

Even when you deny Jesus and walk away, you are still completely under his control and power. There is no way out!

I have tried to live by that notion...a slave to sin and a slave to god...but the bible informs me that that is called being a hypocrite. How can you serve god and the devil? How can you serve god and the evil nature? Shall we continue in sin? God Forbid. I know the bible...have studied it passionately for many years, and still have found no answer to my dying soul, so aparently, the words of the bible are not true,, because I know I have practiced as best as I know how, and here I am...hating life, and hating god, and wishing I never once heard the name of jesus. I'd rather not exist at all. I'd rather die and go to hell than trust it any further...that's how dedicated I was...I tried to kill myself once, because I wanted to be free from lust...I gave all I know to give, even to the point of giving my rent money. BS. I'm done. lol. totally done.

Brother,

Everyone knows my problem. How? Because I have Facebook breakdowns lol. Yes, I have spoken to pastors, and have shared these things with my wife, and friends, but none of that helps me. This may be the first time you met a hopeless case...but here I am. How about that...I just found my new name for my new blog I am going to begin....Thehopelesscase. LMAO

I suspect you are not what you say you are. You either want a lot of attention or you are a troll because I can't believe you were that close to the Christ we know and walked away with all this hatred in your heart. Either way you are playing with people emotions and you know it. I think it is time to stop following this thread.

Trust me, you may feel hopeless, but the fact that you're hating life and wishing to die is something that will not be alleviated by turning from God. I've gone back and looked at some of your earlier posts, and it seems that you have realized this before.

Do you go to a church? I think it would help a lot if you did. Going through something like this on your own isn't a very good idea. I've tried doing it many times, and it seems that help only comes when I turn to others.

Perhaps you have never wanted something so bad before. I am what I say I am...I am a devil...and God made me this way. How? he did not keep his promise of setting me free, that's how. I did not demand God to set me free, he promised he would...try me says the lord. Well I did, and he failed. BOOM.

It's been a long road, and this is not the first time I made this type of post or argument about god and religion and jesus. I'm looking for answers that work, but everything anyone implies, I have tried and tired and tired and failed. So thank you very much. Indeed, please stop following this thread. Thank you.

I hate going to church. They tell me my sin is going to take me to hell, but then tell me Jeus loves me and wants to take away my sin...well, I'm tired of waiting for that.

And I wont start hating life because of turning from God. God has been the bain of my existence. That god and the bible has made me totally hate life. I put so much stock in it. I put so much prayer into it...many lost days for fasting, many lost hours in church, meditation, encouraging others, and it brings me no joy or peace. Not even god brings me peace. No amount of faith has ever allowed me to experience the joy of god. it is full bs. You see, I have lived my life for the purpose of glorifying Him, but I am only a reproach...so why continue in something I am not good at? Life will be so much better withut having to look to god for everything and trying to include him in all my decisions, yes, life will be much easier.

You said teh Christ we know...the christ i know has been non existent. I have always wanted someone to tell me about how they know jesus beyond the bible. How do you? YOu see, I am someone who is real. It needs to be real for me. I am done faking it until I make it, because i am not making it. Did I enjoy getting close ot God? Yes I did. But after about 10years, I began to wonder....where is God? Now I'm at year 15 and asking the same question. God stopped hearing my prayer the moment I gave him my life....bastard...lmao.

How can a man turn from something that has him bound? The cross did not make me free, or anyone. I can see that now. For most it is presumption. For others, they are just plain old lying, and for others, those who have learned to totally hate this life, and give all they have to jesus, only they can be saved.

I posted this originally just to vent. But after reading so many of your thoughts and ideas, I am more confident than ever that either god has abondonded me, or that god hates me, or that I can never be truly saved. I am a Devil. What has happened for others, will never happen for me. I am done playing this game of jesus can do anything, buceause for a god that can do anything, he has done done nothing in me. It’s like an investment down the drain….That’s the reason for my post…to vent that I gave away my faith…it is battered and brussed, and tossed into the fire. I hate that I wasted my time for so long looking for a god I thought would come through and help me. But no.

I will end this thred as soon as I can.

Satan is very much constrained by God, do you think a created creature has unlimited freedom? Your aware that Satan has a very limited time to conduct his business?

You have virtually no control over your own nature, let alone your own life. Surely by now you must have noticed that no one is listening to you. No one will take your advice and that includes your wife. In fact, you probably don't even listen to the advice you give yourself.

I have heard a thousand times, 'I'm never doing that again', usually said after a heavy night on the booze or some other corrosive activity. What happens a week later? Well, we all know what happens to the best plans of men and mice.

If your struggle is with one of the primary sins such as the sexual drive. Then welcome to the club, every red blooded male will battle daily with that one. We live in a very corrupt society where sexuality is used to sell everything. Women dress to attract, women flaunt their sexuality, there is no escape from this in modern society.

You can join about 200 million other men, who also struggle with the trials and tribulations of sexual temptation.

I remember a long time ago I was exhausted from trying to resist sexual temptations. I was losing the battle, in fact, I never won any battle in the sexual arena, so I made an appointment to see the minister. Seriously, I thought that I had missed something along the way, some supernatural gift. Whereby, I would never have a sexual thought again, the ultimate victory over sin and death! A white halo that would light my room when I turned off the light.

He smiled and told me that my struggles were very much what the Christian life was all about, that daily wrestle with the desires of the flesh and living in the Spirit. Then he told me that he deals every week with human train wrecks, people with very serious issues. Heavy drug addictions, alcohol dependency, all manner of serious problems. Problems in counseling Christians subject to law courts for criminal behavior. A never ending stream of dysfunctional people with dysfunctional lives.

Romans 11:32
For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

I considered that as well but there is the possibility of mental health issues.

The Bible says that God is faithful and just to forgive our sin when we repent.

So that is no excuse. We all. Fall short and repent.

It seems like you just cannot get out of your own head. But God doesn’t say you are beyond forgiveness. You have decided that

Seriously, it is all about you and what you want God to give you and you want to happen to you and you want to feel for your sake. Turn off of the computer, get out of your shell, and be something decent to others for goodness sake. Get it? For the sake of good, do something to bless another person and ask nothing in return. Feed someone. Help lift a spirit. Go the church to see what you can find in giving. Live like you think a smile is good enough payment for doing something that our Lord has indicated as what HE wants from us. Now I am finished.
