What are the best things to do in order to be content being alone?

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

The Pharisees think the are redeemed. There are many who call on Jesus thinks they are redeemed but are not.

There are many who thinks they are unregenerate but are redeemed. I'm giving examples from the Bible.

So how do you determine you are redeemed? According to examples given in the Bible, you cannot.

This means you cannot completely trust even yourself. Keep testing even things you already believe. Perhaps, never settle on a set of beliefs, keep testing them.

I'm aware that Apostle Paul gave teachings to become "redeemed" in Romans 10. But it's only an instruction... How would you know you have truly believed, how would you know you are truly calling on the lord?? Because we have Matthew 7:22-23 to remind us know we can't be certain.

Most Christians hate the notion of uncertainty but it's the only thing that seems certain in this world.

"And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God." -! John 5:11-13

Italics and bold print for emphasis. What you described is a miserable way of living. Sorry, but I've been down that road of uncertainty before, and it led to nothing but pain and insanity. Let God be true and every man a liar. Hear the words of the apostle Paul. It's a testimony that every believer can share.

2 Timothy 1:12 - "For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day."

If I married earlier, it would have been a huge mistake. Thank God, I waited!

Absolutely! I know what I’m looking for. If I’d done the same, I wouldn’t be the person I’ve become.

What did John say when the people mentioned Jesus baptizing? “He must increase; but I must decrease.” -He also said that after a season where God exalted him to be the forerunner to the Messiah. -1 Peter 5:6

We are servants not celebrities. You cannot use your platform as an avenue for recognition or fame. Or a position others should covet or envy. If any part of you desires it; you’re in trouble. The hook is already in. -What I'm saying is that a person can use his or her celebrity as a platform to give glory to God. That's all

There is a secular tone to some of your comments that isn’t consistent with the level of responsibility you’ve presented. -Maybe. That's probably why I have 5 more years before I enter full time ministry.

Wealth and notice are privileges which come with many hardships and pitfalls. Don’t allow the glitter to blind you from the risks.

Agreed. And advice taken. But I have counted the cost and have no fear.

"And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God." -! John 5:11-13

The problem is that Jesus taught a ton more things to the twelve that wasn't written in the Bible (impossible to be written in the Bible).... - John 21:25

The Twelve have certainty, but we don't. How are you certain you have the Son of God?

What about the many misinterpreted teachings in the Bible? Our many denominations is irrefutable evidence of this.

How is it possible for each Each Christian to be certain of their beliefs if it contradicts another Christian's belief? It doesn't make sense.

That's true. But again, John 20:31 says, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

The Twelve have certainty, but we don't. How are you certain you have the Son of God? - Yes, I do have assurance. And I'm sorry you apparently do not. Feel free to ask me anything from my testimony, and I'll be happy to share with you.

What about the many misinterpreted teachings in the Bible? Our many denominations is irrefutable evidence of this. -We don't judge a belief or philosophy by the abuse of its tenets. We judge it according to Truth. Whilst I agree that many institutions and churches have erred from the teaching of the Bible, this doesn't mean we should throw the baby out with the bath water.

How is it possible for each Each Christian to be certain of their beliefs if it contradicts another Christian's belief? It doesn't make sense. - Jesus said wisdom is justified by her children. In other words, wisdom is shown to be right by those who are wise and whose lives bear the fruit of godly and correct doctrine and living.

I don't know you enough to discern you well enough.

But I've heard from many Christians say the same thing about having absolute certainty of their beliefs and salvation but don't show any fruit.

I don't subscribe to feelings because there are plenty who "feel" but again, doesn't show fruits.

By the things I observe, you really can't trust what anyone say is true, until you have seen the way they live.

I think I understand where you're coming from. However, Jesus said follow me; not people. We're all going to give an account one day before God.
