Not long ago Justin "invited" demons into himself. Obviously they've gained a foothold.
2 and a half years ago, hon.And I was exorcised when I was baptized.

"Huw Raphael now regrets writing that. Check out his blog (google: "doxos")-- he is now living as a gay Christian.
This is not hilarious. You were given incorrect information. Please read Huw Raphael's blog for yourself. What he regrets is that he used to see "Hell" in people. Later he realized that "Hell" was in his own head.
i can't post the blog because I don't have a post count of greater than 50, but you can find it by searching raphael doxos Someplace between 40 and Death.
Good advice, HisAgain, and God bless you in your cross you bear, as we all bear one or more.You are a moral and theological relativist now? I don't buy it. I've checked out your old posts to get a feel for who you are, and I call bull. This is justification plain and simple, whether you will step back and see that or not.
I returned to Christianity in the spring because a few years ago I took the same road you are taking right now. It was too hard (and is still hard) to live with homosexuality, so I embraced it and became more liberal in my beliefs. Eventually I moved on from organized religion in an attempt to be more "enlightened," when in reality I just became a "child of my age," following all the modern currents of thought on abortion, morality, God, etc., and indulging in all sorts of popular pseudo-spirituality like The Secret and Eckhart Tolle.
You will lose Christ eventually. I guarantee it. Please, take the time to step back, disentangle yourself from any defensive thinking, and examine your motives for this change in attitude. Is it genuinely inspired by God, or are you just tired of the struggle and wanting to love and be loved?
The Evil One's suggestions and temptations are working well on you. You don't see this though, and you need to start seeing it sometime in the future, while you're still alive.Matt - it comes from being tired of being treated second class and being told that my LOVE is wrong. Cause it isn't.
HisAgain - Thanks, but no, I won't lose Christ. I am talking to a really sweet guy who has been a gay Christian for years. Being gay and allowing myself to love doesn't send me down a spiraling path to Hell, immorality, or anything of the like.
You are right. Prayers that he comes out of the darkness and of the persuasions of the Enemy.Prayer is the only thing we can do for Justin, for we can do nothing without God.
I was reading the comments from this thread and someone posted that raphael on raphael doxos com had recanted his blog titled I was in Hell. One comment stated that this blogger had recanted his story. Upon investigation the blogger only recanted that he had failed to see that Hell was inside his own head and not caused by others.This guy?

Justin, know that if you live this lifestyle and do so without repentence, you will not be with Him in His Kingdom after you pass here. I'm sorry to say that, but it's the truth for all of us, no matter what our sin is.
I'm OK with that.
252 AD St. Cyprian of Carthage: "An ever-burning Gehenna and the punishment of being devoured by living flames will consume the condemned; nor will thee be any way in which the tormented can ever have respite or be at an end. Souls along with their bodies will be preserved for suffering in unlimited agonies. . . . The grief at punishment will then be without the fruit of repentance; weeping will be useless, and prayer ineffectual. Too late will they believe in eternal punishment, who would not believe in eternal life" (To Demetrian 24).
226 AD Minucius Felix: "I am not ignorant of the fact that many, in the consciousness of what they deserve, would rather hope than actually believe that there is nothing for them after death. They would prefer to be annihilated rather than be restored for punishment. . . . Nor is there either measure nor end to these torments. That clever fire burns the limbs and restores them, wears them away and yet sustains them, just as fiery thunderbolts strike bodies but do not consume them" (Octavius 34:12-5:3).
Forgive me, but the assertion that you are "OK" with eternal separation from God struck me with a sense of incredulity. I'm sorry if my responding is inappropriate, but it makes me incredibly sad to see you say that.
