Hey im 18/f and i've it occured to me today that i really dont believe in heaven or god/jesus. It just seems unreal you know. Somebody today told me you could just replace the word "angel" with "aliens" and people would believe it. One of my old classmates died a couple months ago and i kind of want that peace feeling that hes somewhere good you know. I went to church when i was a kid up until i was about 12. I suppose i just believed in it then because everybody else did. But ive came to the realization that i dont believe in it. I think its all bogus. I really want to believe in it :( but i just dont see how that could be real, i think we just rot in the ground, nothing more, no after life your soul lifting out of your body none of that. Can anybody "inspire" me somehow or convince me that there is a higher power. I really want to believe in jesus :(
Thanks A TON! (link)

You can believe in Jesus. ANd I will help you get there. This isn't just one topic that I can give you the answer and it magically makes you believe. It takes time. I tell you what, I will work with you, if you give me your email, I willkeep in touch with you, and we can discuss everything about religion. I can reassure you that it is definetly real. I see God everyday, just not the way you'd think I see Him. See people think religion is black or white, right or wrong. THat isn't true, To know GOd, you have to clear all hatred from your heart, forgive your enemies, just call out to GOd. " Say I know I haven't talked to you in forever, and I'm still figuring out that you are real, will you please reach otu to me and help me" IF you say that, that first step you take is enough for God to reach out to you trust me.
So I would love to discuss this with you and help you, let me know if youd like to keep in touch about faith in religion, its my favorite topic. :)
If you do not want to talk, then all teh best! I will keep you in my prayers :)

Hello, i used to go to church about 3 years ago, i was a pentacostal. I was into church and felt the holy spirt, sang in church, participated in all the youth activities,went to church camp and everything else. Now, i gave all that up and after i stop going to church, problems everywhere came..my health is also, not in good condidtion. i really do wanna go back to church but i just need a push to go..i dont know where to start. iwant to go back to my old church but then again i dont. Can anyone who went through this help? (link)

Its never to late to go back. You obviously can recogonize that God and the Holy Spirit are both speaking to you.
I used to be like you, I sang at church but when our youth director was fired by our pastor, i still have no idea why, i stopped singing and going to youth group. I still went to church but i just went through the motions. What brought me back was the fact that no one in my life could make me as happy as i am standing right there singing to GOd. No one can hold you and reassure you that everything will be okay the way God can. The feeling of wanting to belong was just the push i needed, and sounds like the same for you. I really hope you go back to church because you will find God's will and all the amazing things you are meant to do for Him. You are being saved right now if you go back. What are you waiting for? Just walk in, you don't need to explain anyting to anyone, just walk in and see. THat first step you take in the biggest difference you can make in your life, you show the iniative and God will take it from there.
All the best, and i am so proud of you going back to church! YOU are a rockstar!!

Here's how I see it; humans are evil. (I know vampires do not exist, but I like them anyway) Vampires kill humans to eat. Humans kill cows, goats, sheep, pigs to eat. If vampires are evil, then so are humans. And wolves because they ate that wild boar (or whatever they eat). And snakes for eating that mouse. And sharks for eating that fish.
Humans are a lot more evil because you don't see vampires (in ANY book {besides Nightworld, no not even that...}) raising humans for food, but you see HUMANS raising COWS and PIGS for food.
Yes, I do like animals, but humans also kill each other. Humans are destroying the pl anent. We aren't going to have any more vegetation in the future, however near that may be.
Sure, there are some evil vampys in books and movies who want to take over the world or destroy it, but there are also humans who are evil too.
So, are vampires evil? (link)

Okay,since this question is under the spirituality tab, I am going to mention religion. First of all, humans kill animals, because in the beginning of the world, before adam and eve came into the picture, God desgined the land and then animals, after creating humans, he gave them power over the animals so that the humans would be able to eat, this does not make them evil. Now yes you are right humans do kill each other, that doesnt make them evil, that makes their actions evil. See through all evil acts lies Satan, so where humans are acting evil or wrongly Satan is influencing them. All of us are sinners, not one of us humans is totally good or totally evil, the only one who is totally good is God, and the one who is totally evil is Satan. Vampires are not real, so to define them as evil or good is just unrealistic. They arent really good or bad, they just arent real. I think in books and movies where you read about vampires it depends on the action in which they are committing to be able to tell if they are good or evil.

Okay I don't have a purity ring yet, but I vowed to stay sexually pure until marriage. That obviously means no sex until marriage but does that mean no masterbating or anything like that? Like what are the guidlines most people who vow to stay sexually pure until marriage live by? (link)
|
Good for you in deciding to stay pure to marriage, that is the best decision you can make, I wear a purity ring and I am abstinent also, for me personally, everyone is different, its your choice, I promised God I wouldn't go past making out.
You make up your own guidelines, just do what feels right. I don't believe any kind of sexual act is appropiate until marriage, but that is my personal decision.
And the purity ring is really helpful, its a constant reminder that my promise to God is more important than my hormones and emotions.
Yours in Christ,
Jeannie

i am a christian.
i have been serving god all my life.
and i have had plenty of christian and non-christian friends.
i try not to talk about religion a lot because i dont want to push my friends away.
i am not a rebel or emo or anything, but lately i have been wondering if i am two different people.
i love god with all my heart.
and that will never change, but i recently told my friend about my releigion and she said she had no idea that i was christian. does that mean that i dont act like a christian.
i go to church every other sunday, i read the bible and i love singing praise songs, and pray. but my friends didn't know that i did anything like that.
how can i be chirstian in front of my friends without pushing them away???
from,
confused about being 2faced (link)

no you are not living two lives at all. Its okay to really praise God by yourself, and its okay to make your faith well known. I am christian and my friends are completely okay with that. Your actions should speak louder than words, so just be who you are and don't be afraid to proclaim your faith, we are responible for our own decisions so if they don't want to believe thats their choice. But Christ IS the Lord, there is nothing wrong with saying, yeah I do believe, show people you believe by helping people every chance you get, and be open about your faith, you may help your friends become closer to God. It is our job to do God's will, so go out there and proclaim it, its His Word.
I hope I answered your question.
Yours in Christ,
Jeannie

i was thinking about getting a purity ring so ..
can you buy any ring at all and have it be a purity ring?
or are there rings that are actually made for purity rings? (link)
|
hey congratualtions on your decicion to purchase a purity ring. It such a beautiful decision to promise God that yourare waiting until you are married.
You can buy any kind of ring b/c it serves as a signal and you can have it blessed by the priest. Mine says "I will wait for my beloved"
It really is a good choice, sometimes its tempting to break, but the ring helps its a constant reminder that God comes first.
Congrats again!!
All the best :)
