lonliness

Jesus loves you and will always be with you. He doesn't want you unhappy or afraid. Turn to Him, He is there for you.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

 

[JazzHands]

Bragar, I've been exactly where you are now and I know how you feel. Loneliness, isolation and self-deprecation are all symptoms, in my opinion, of a soul in transition. I'm not as theologically minded as most here.. more of a 'floater', I try to connect my temporal observations with the profound spiritual observations of those insightful intellectuals I find here.

All I can say is, 'the faith' offers more than mere doctrine, it provides a community too.. which is what I needed most.. a sense of belonging.. to know that people cared about what I had to say and were willing to sacrifice their time to come to my aid and provide guidance in a world that overwhelmed me. You'll find that here and more.

Don't let those demons beat you into submission, you're a welcome soldier in an army that has no equal. You have nothing to fear and nothing to be ashamed of. Take time to heal and use your respite to fortify your spirit! GBU

but im going to hell though. god says im going to hell forever with my worst fear there eating me in a dark webbed room with no exit also whats soul in transition mean?

 

[JazzHands]

I confess, I don't believe in hell in a literal sense, I think hell is a state of mind or perception.. akin to a teenager having suicidal thoughts because they 'believe' that they have no value to the world and no sense of self worth to underpin their road to recovery - that's hell, as far as I'm concerned.

As for this 'God' you speak of, he doesn't sound like my God who is benevolent, forgiving and always longing for the return of his lost lambs. Whatever malevolent thoughts invade your otherwise tranquil mind, you are and always were, fundamentally good... but you have to start believing in yourself. Jesus set the bar, just follow his example! You're not alone Bragar!

If "god" is telling you that , then that is part of the main problem.
What does God tell you through His Holy Word?
You ask , " what's soul in transition mean"?

My answer.
Jesus Christ laid down His life on the Cross .
He died.
He was buried.
He rose the third day according to the Holy Word of God .
Death had no sting , and the grave no victory.
For those who place their faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross are new creatures in Christ.
That is the only positive salvational transition of ones soul.
Redeemed by the blood of The Crucified One.
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour?

you know when you have someone in your world where you can spill your heart and worries onto, someone to help you with your lemons in life. thats god. i dont feel that comfort and ill explain why. i do feel him poke my heart sometimes gives love, so hes definitaly here with me. but its just the fact im getting left behind while you guys all bask in that sunshine in heaven, all the happy families and children, innocence and friendships and never growing old, dreams coming true etc... ive experienced heaven, idk i just remember feeling it a couple times in my life, its currently hallowing my heart. why do i believe i cant go to heaven? well ive had vivid dreams and deep feelings pop up on me of gloomy places. i even ask god and he says i cant go..(we communicate in a certain way) looking at myself i deserve heaven but im too unclean to go so i do belong there but i dont. but why hell? ive had dreams of empty places i know its the telestial realm or hell, but i remember having one with my worst fear, being eaten by spiders. i honestly do believe this is god telling me what its gonna be like if you think its farfetched. so here i am. lifes dull, my muscles are weak, i feel my times coming because of my health. and everyday im in sarrow because im missing out on it all while im gonna be in fear and sarrow. not fair ... i dont have any deep normal friendships. im abnormal, im lonely. and im gonna be lonely for eternity. while getting eaten by my worst fear, some freaky looking spiders that look like they can run pretty fast. the feelings have been deep, like flashbacks. but the sarrow is 10/10 im sad im so sad. i dont aspire anything in life so now its just waiting my days in fear and sarrow. gods here with me but i feel so distant. i thought jesus forgave sin, are my sins that bad, even if your forgive sin why do you block out such a beautiful place to people not fair. not just that but throwing me in this gloomy loooonely place. i wanna enjoy paradise too. this is haunting me. i wish other people could feel the sarrow. if this is how life was gonna be why even create life i dont wanna go to hell i dont wanna go to hell i dont wanna go to hell, i cant handle the flashbacks anymore. its too painful. please pray that god just takes me in my sleep so i can just get it overwith already

Praying for you.

How often do you read God’s love letters to you?

 

[ItIsFinished!]

yes

Amen my friend.
May the Lord shine upon you.

 

[bragar]

Praying for you.

How often do you read God’s love letters to you?

no point if im not going to heaven, not often.

 

[ItIsFinished!]

no point if im not going to heaven

Why wouldn't you?

 

[JazzHands]

no point if im not going to heaven, not often.

Bragar, I'll be blunt... sort yourself out!

 

[redleghunter]

no point if im not going to heaven, not often.

Read them.

Start here:

John 1 ESV

Read the entire Gospel addressed to you.

Also for a short read on how much God loves us read these two chapters:

Romans 8 ESV

And

Ephesians 1 ESV

 

[EzekielsWheels]

bragar I pray that you take a chance again. Feelings of condemnation happen and feeling like giving up happens. At least I can say it's happened in my life but you have to keep trying. As a soldier of God you can expect to have these kind of experiences but that's why you need to fight through them. You need to read the word and pray to God. You must help yourself at least to that extent. Saying there's no point is just not the right thing to say. God loves you whether you think he does or not and he would never say you're going to hell so don't try.
