Marc's wife speaking;Just a thought about suicide and curses. I was into magic for awhile, and I also attempted to commit suicide. Fortunely, I failed. I now am married with a little girl, 7 months old. If I had died, she would have never been born, and I would have known my husband both are so precious to me it hurts when I looked back on where I could have been. It seemed impossible that life would ever improve back then. But it will. You have a bad situation. But there is hope. Think about your future. think about the family you might one day have. You have the power to one day show Love to your little one that was never shown to you. There is nothing so powerful as loving arms around you. Right now, know you are not alone. Jesus has you in his embrace. He saved me, and he'll save you.

:cry: Sometimes... we want to help so much we do or say the wrong things without consulting Him who we are supposed to represent... So as a follower of JESUS, Son of the Living God, I ask you to forgive us for not helping you....

Your situation is horrendous.....:cry: I was shocked and saddened by reading your story although I know such assaults are allowed to take place in our schools now..... since we have tossed God out, schools have become *survival of the fittest/meanest*... they should be institutions of learning and those that want to bully others should have their PRIVILEDGE to learn revoked! Sorry, I digress, that is my personal opinion.

The fact you are tormented is bad but assaulted.... this is very, very wrong. I know people don't listen now days, I don't doubt you have tried to seek help and no one would listen to you! :cry:

The first thing I could suggest is listen to Link's suggestion... "The Wounded Spirit" by Frank Peretti will resonate with your spirit..... it is his own story of torture by the *jocks* in school.... it broke my heart to read it BUT see what God did for him? Made him one of THE MOST talented writers of our time!! I can tell you, the God we speak of is very real and HE is able to help you. HE is not something someone dreamed up, HE is not made of stone, HE IS real.

The JESUS we speak of, HIS son HE sacrificed for us, IS also very real and very much alive. If you want help you can have it but you must ask JESUS to help you, He respects your right to choose. Jesus will never force Himself on you, HE will wait for you to ASK HIM. (Once you ask Him and truly mean it, HE will come to your aid.)
Suicide is the answer the servants of satan or the demons give to mankinds problems. ASK yourself, why do they do that? Because they FEAR YOU! Should you ever discover the Truth, understand who JESUS is and who you are in HIM.... you would begin to become the person they have been terrified of since you were born! They must keep this from happening so they try to get you to kill yourself or at the very least give up and deny God... that way you have been rendered ineffective in the battle.
Make no mistake dear one, we are in a battle. We were born into a battle that has raged since Adam and Eve. The battle is the forces of God against the forces of darkness and evil. God tells us to choose whom we shall serve. Those who say there is no God have made the choice to believe deception and that is of the enemy, therefore they have made their choice too.

You, dear one, are a treasure that has been hidden away. The enemy has sent wave after wave of attack it sounds like, to deceive and destroy your heart and bury that treasure of God under a lot of muck and filth. So the question here is: Which side do you want to be on? If you want to find real answers, I suggest you find someone you trust and pm with them. Find out more about our JESUS, who HE is to them and what the Word of God says, about YOU.

Dear one, Jesus has already defeated the enemy. HE wants to give us our hearts and our lives back. These are the words of JESUS.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

The JESUS we know and are speaking of, is SO wonderful! I've been down many bad roads and fallen in some hideous pits, but I can tell you what JESUS has done for me. HE loved me and when I finally surrendered to Him and called to Him with all my heart, He came into my heart and my life became totally, radically different. He restored me and put my shattered life back and made it into something wonderful when I had broken it into a million shards of useless glass, HE took those shards and made something beautiful. HE wants to do that for you too..... but HE can't until you make the decision. The choice is up to you.

If you want someone to chat with, my pm box is always open.... If I can help or if you have more questions, you don't understand something I have said, please send me a private message.... I shall try to help you. Once again forgive us all, we are followers of our JESUS but we are still learning and sometimes we don't do things right.... or say things the way we should... we get so excited about Him and sharing, we don't remain sensitive to others pain.... so forgive us if we have caused you to doubt Him for we are only poor representatives of our Incredible and Awesome Lord JESUS! HE is so much more than any of us can begin to tell you.... HIS LOVE IS AMAZING and it can reach into the darkest pits....

I pray your wounded spirit will find some solace in something I have said and perhaps you will look again at our wonderful JESUS..... BIG CYBERSPACE :hug:'s I speak peace to your spirit. The next step is up to you...

hey mate, just writing to say that i care about and love every single persin on this planet. maybe u think its weird, but i really do. wether they are on drugs, they are perfect A students, homeless, nice, mean, whatever, i really do love them. i believe in God and it says in his word (the bible) to love ur neighbour and all that. so if Jesus can love every single person ,and im trying to be more like him, so do I. i was brought into this world in 1989 too, man. someone told me tha other day that poeple are on this earth so that christians can tell non-believers about god, so they become christians and so on and so forth. mate, im not saying that u should automatically say: oh yeh, im gonna become a christian... all im saying is dont give up on life yet. plz dont. my fav verse is Hebrews 13:8. it says: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

This verse helps me to remember that even though things change, Jesus will never change. Jesus is always there if ya need to talk to him and he always listens.
cya later, ill be praying for ya mate......luv elise

hey man, you say you have the friend and spirit of hangman's curse, Abel. Well i have the friend and spirit of the passion, Jesus. The most important difference in our friends is mines LOVES YOU... i dont need to know weather or not that was a joke u were playing on my brothers, but U NEED TO KNOW this is not some kind of joke or myth we were all playing on you. I duno if you know , but the passion is based on something that really happened, and really changed ALL our lives in the most powerful ways. It showed us we have something to live for, and if need be something to die for. It was not intended for us to go through life rootlessly and i believe according to the bible that WE ARE ON THIS EARTH (we live) TO MAKE A CHOICE. THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE. AND THAT IS TO EITHER CHOOSE OR REJECT GOD. you see, He wants us to love Him, and as you have proboly gathered if u r forced to love someone, it is not real love. Jesus said "for the Son of man has come to save that which was lost" When God created us (Genesis 2:7) He gave us free will. He has always been there no matter what but it got to a point where He was tired of seeing His children living with no direction, He sent His ONLY Son to give his life so we could be with Him agen. He also left us a few instructions to live by untill He comes again to Judge and see who accepted Him and obeyed the word. The reason we are on this earth is to either choose or reject our creator. if we reject him, he must reject us. He wants ppl who love Him, He loves everyone, He created Everyone. He wants us to choose him no matter what, which is why He lets bad things happen. He doesnt make them happen, thats satan, someone who chose to reject God at the begining. when Jesus returns, everyone who rejected God will be condemned to Hell, when satan rejected God first, he became the first damned. He was so angry at God that he made it his mission to take as many of Gods children, Gods beloved children to hell with him. However the only way he can do this is by means of evil, because everything God does is perfect so to decieve Gods children he must do things opposite. God is letting Him do this because He wants to see how we take his love. will we reject God for the world and the alternate way we can live or will we accept God and turn our back on the world. God is always there ready to deliver you from the bad stuff, the world and its crud. sometimes He leaves it there coz the experience youll have from it l;ater can glorify him. However Satan knows that, so he will make it seem as bad as he can at the time... he will use the people who dont love God to hurt you, try to show you god doesnt care, but once again , as usual this is a lie. everything Satan says contradicts what God says. Bottom line mate, If you leave satan in control, and let him make you think anything that doesnt agree with the bible, you are decieved and you dont need that extra misery in your life. If you realise you need Jesus, You can pray somfin like this "Dear Jesus, Thankyou for going to the cross for me, dying and paying for all my sins. i am sorry for all of them and ask you now Lord to please come into my heart and help me to see you, understand you and submit to you. come and change me and my life, Amen"

im praying :prayer: :pray: for you mate, if yu wanna contact me, send me a private message and i will respond. even if you agree with nothning i have sed and think i am a total nutcase, but just wanna see if i am for real about talking to you, go ahead! i want to listen to you and help you, :hug: as the Lord sent people to listen to me and help me. and most importantly i want you to find the Lord. but the bible says noone can come to God untill he calls them, so if it takes you twenty -or even sixty years i will be patient and be a fren. so dude, i hope i can talk to u later, cya man!

Hello there! :wave: The people here have given you some great advice. More precious than jewels they are, and so are you. Just follow the advice given here and you will eventually be put on a path of Light if you are willing to follow it. I care about you and I would love to hang with you if you want. We could perhaps go and play some games somewhere together or just chat and hang. :hug:

I also suggest you call the police in case anyone else tries to pull something on you.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

Dear Elba.You want to know,why are we here?The bible tells us after Adam had been really disobedient to God,he was send away.The many,many descendants of Adam became worse and worse.When God saw how men and women over the many centuries just followed their instincts and had moved even further from God,it was becoming time for the prophesy in the old testament,that we humans needed a Saviour to help us to become God`s children again,that God send us His own Son Jesus Christ to open the door for us.The reason why we are here,is because God wants us back again.But He wants us to love Him with all our hearts,all our minds and all our souls,and God/Jesus also wants us to love our fellow men and fellow women as we love ourselves.Jesus who is Spirit of God`s Spirit came to earth as man,to show us the way.The New Testament,written by men who witnessed the life and death of our Saviour,will tell you more.Sincere greetings and may God help you in your search to find why we are here.Emmy.

Why are we here !??!!

The inquisitive echo of mankind throughout the ages....

Before I answer this question, I'll point something out. Everybody wonders "why", but few wonder why they even care to ask "why" in the first place. The fact is, of all beings on this earth, human beings are the only ones that are so obsessed with "why".

What's more, "why" is a question of intent. It essentially asks "for what reason?". By it's very nature, why assumes and searches for some intelligent purpose in human existence.

That said, the christian understanding of why we ask why is because this question is etched into the heart of mankind. Historical evidence of mankind's actions seems to support this belief. This nagging question is believed to be etched into the heart of mankind in order that he might search for, and in turn find God and the fullness of life.

"God, infinitely perfect and blessed in and of himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life."

In lay speak, this states that God, perfect in every way, in an act of unselfish and perfect love, created mankind in order that mankind could share in His own perfect existence.

This means that God wasn't bored or lonely. Bordeom is the result of a lact of interest and lonliness is the result of a lack of love. It was precisely the opposite of these, and abundance of love and interest which led God to create mankind.

So in a nutshell, the christian understanding is that mankind is here in order to share in God's own perfect and blessed existence.
