what am i suposta do?

[Atha]

what am i suposta do cause of the fact that i dont want jesus to die for me, nor do i accept the cross to be a sacrifice..?

i cant handle my life as it is, just the saying that someone died for me, that doesnt make me feel any good at all....

the fact that i learned closely what happened to Jesus that day, and i find it hard for me to call a sacrifice other than a torture of killing...

i really do care about Jesus, i dont want anything to be for His Blood except in His Heart beating that He may live...

im so lost, i truly am starting to say forget it, i wont be christian...

it doesnt mean i dont believe in him, but i know many people that dont and wont, i could even tell you that i try to be faithful and say something about it, but they dont care... and how horrible is it for me to see the fact that everyone seems to believe that those that dont believe in Jesus are condemned...???? that is way out of proportion...

one thing i could tell you standing at the edge of this whole religion and thinkin dearly that something isnt right, its that, you shouldnt curse.. the people that wrote the bible shouldnt have cursed either, but they did, i dont even want to beleive a single word that book says if they are going to be cursing my dad because he doesnt believe in Jesus,

the thing i want to beleive about Jesus is that He is the Savior, but ive gotten so close to my death......... i dont want to say where was he? i dont need this anymore... i cant just put my faith up to hope that doesnt come true...

if i would have known something else maybe this would be different, the fact that i still am maybe... but when so many fall out there and there is no salvation for them i cannot believe in someone we are suposta praise as if he was God yet He doesnt save all....

i cannot accept the trinity, the three are each one but they are not all God... thats just what i beleive..

they may Use God's Power, and faith says good that they can... but God Alone is the Creator of Earth, not Jesus, not the Holy Spirit even... and it isnt anything more than this, God rose the Mountains with His Own Strength, the strength of His Son is nothing in comparison...

im sorry, im calling out, but just throw your back lash and whatever... forget me huh...

How can you believe in Jesus if you do not believe He is God? If you believe that, you are not believing in Jesus, but just some made up image of Jesus which is not the same.

Your post comes across to me saying that you are young, You have been hurt. You do not want anyone else to go through what you have gone through, or worse. That is why you can not believe that Jesus' death on a cross was a "sacrifice". I have always had trouble with this myself. I mean, why would God, the Father have to have His Son, Jesus Christ, to go through such torture and degradation as the only way us miserable, sinful humans could be saved. To me, it is a mystery. But one I am willing to accept, as Jesus only did what His Father willed for Him to do.

Also, believing in the God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is a bigger mystery than the Crucifixion, but I accept it gladly. For I can turn to the Trinity when I need help. I can ask the Trinity to help my family, friends, and anyone who asks for my prayers.

Not believing in the Trinity is not an option for me. Look at the early writings of the Church Fathers. They defended the belief of the Trinity against the heresies of their day.

I pray for you in your time of turmoil. I ask all the angels and Saints to pray for you, too. For you need a lot more than my prayers.

If you wish to kick Christianity to the curb, you have every right to do so. But be warned, life without Christ is not as pleasant as life with Christ, even if Christians are called upon to sacrifice.

May I ask where you get your religious information from?

Well for starters, let's spell is "supposed to do" in the thread title properly!

Sorry, I'm a sixth grade teacher on vacation. Can't help it!

It's a gift. You either accept it or you don't. But you cannot do anything on your own merits when it comes to God & the salvation offered.

First of all the catholic church doesn't have a list of people in hell. Whereas it has a list of names that are in heaven - the Saints.

I wouldn't be tearing myself apart for the "unsaved" that line of thinking is more from protestant fundamentalists. The catholic church doesn't have a list of people who are in hell (I believe because there is no hell) they have a list of people who are definitely in heaven-The Saints, MArtyrs etc.

The concept of the Trinity is there to understand God more fully. God the father, his word and his knowledge that's what the Trinity is in a nutshell without any gloss. Replace word for son and knowledge for Holy Spirit and that's it really.

My advice is that you speak to a GOOD priest (they're hard to find) who can help you out then get help from a therapy group. Everyone's had rough times no reason to feel ashamed to seek help.

I've experienced the same stuff too. My dad's an atheist. Why doesn't he believe? Because of many reasons. Will he be "saved"? I just put that in God's hands.

Best wishes for you. Hang in there don't lose hope.
