I dont understand, i was born and raised a christian. I go to a chalothic school. But i am no where as "good" as you guys. For example
I listen to anti christ music, I am very pridefull, I am very lustfull, I swear all the time, I get into fights all the time. I crushed somebuddy who called my ex a really improper word in a second without thinking. I do imoral things to improve my self or to get something I need. Am i corrupted?
I Just dont understand how you guys do it? What am I doing wrong (obiously everything) Dont you guys get board or something. I know i sound very very childish right now but i need this cleared up.
I'm not going to sit here and say like others that you're already saved.
You'll only be saved if you repent and stop doing what you're repenting for.
Repenting means nothing if you keep commiting the same sins.
Gods not stupid.
God wont think twice about sending you to the burning ground if all you do is go to church, say five hail mary's and go on doing your deeds.
Thats not how things work.
God wants sincerity and a hard crack at turning straight for you to get to the pearly gates.
And thats not pointed just at you. Thats for everyone.
Its about morals son, eye for an eye.
Defending your girlfriends honour is a just and admirable cause. But there is such a thing as knowing when enough is enough.
You cannot go further in retribution than the boy did in attacking.
Punching a guy for calling a name is no different than killing a man for stealing her watch.
Being good has nothing to do with going to church.
A church is just a building where people meet up and perform a ritual.
Being good has nothing to do with being a Chrisitian.
Hitler was a Catholic.
All that means nothing.
Being good comes from within you.
From what you want for yourself, and what you want for others.
You want to be good for yourself? Then restrain yourself.
I want you to sit long and hard on what you're about to read.
I am lustful. Everyone is lustful.
Anyone here who denies it is denying themselves and lying to make themselves look better infront of men instead of God.
I am lustful. And I know it.
So I take myself out of situations by which I will be lustful.
i.e, if a girl wearing a skirt bends down near me, I turn my head away.
If I dont see it, I cant lust after it.
Lust after your girlfriend son. Its wear you should be lusting.
Its no sin to lust after your partner.
The pride you have for yourself is whats called "false pride".
This kind of pride makes you arrogant and vain. Its pride in yourself for things that mean nothing.
You need to see that arrogance gets you nowhere. You need to take this criticism and actually see where you're going wrong, instead of being pointlessly hurt by it and then abusive.
Dont be proud of yourself for getting a good looking girlfriend. All you're doing is demeaning her. Be proud that she loves you.
If you think anti-christ music is bad, then stop listening to it.
Listen to something else. Not that I see what the fuss is about. Its not music. Music has harmonies and melodies and rythms and tempos and meaning.
Anti-christ music has world screamed along side noise.
Its not music. Its noise.
What you need to do is appreciate that things that you probably wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
Classical music would calm you down.
Orffs O Fortuna would show you what you're missing.
Dont listen to rubbish with hate filled words.
Music is the language of the soul. Listen to hate, become hate.
That is you.
Real music has such passion it can swing you're mood, let you remember, make you forget, and make you cry.
What you listen to does not.
Just so you know, the immoral things you do to "better yourself" aren't bettering you.
They are perpetuating a cycle. Doing something you shouldn't to get something you want makes you worthless.
Working hard to achieve what you want fills you not only with true pride, but also with the pride of others. There is nothing out there remotely like the feeling you get when you gain what you deserve.
You came here because you want something you feel others have got, and its not something you know how to get hold of.
You cant use your immoral ways to be good.
You be good by shedding your immoral ways.
Your temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
Restrain yourself, and look for in life, that which has meaning, instead of everthing that does not.
Realise that fighting without a cause helps noone. Not even yourself.
Take what I've said, and think on it.
If you want to change, you will change, because what you dont what will start to repulse you.
As it did, and does, me.
God loves you. In all the things you do, try to do them in such a way to show God that you love him, too, by loving others.
My friend, there is nothing to be confused about. No one - and I mean NO ONE - here on this earth is perfect, not even close. The fact that we are human (sinners) is why we need the Lord. Just because we get saved, doesn't make us not sinners. You need to accept Jesus into your heart. He will help you make the right choices in life - but we still have a free will. The Bible tells us: Romans 10:9, 10 & 13 "That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart may believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
