okay. i know alot of people say that being a homoselual is a sin. or in proper terms an abomination. Im gay and i would like to have a relationship with god and christ. but could i really have salvation, being what i am. I dont know because i hear reverends from both the liberal and conservative christian faiths give their " biblical facts" and i just dont know. any help will be great, thanks. :)

My friend, I hope you read this with an open mind and an open soul cause for what I'm about to discuss will "step on some toes". I'm glad that you are willing to have a relationship with christ that is great. Christ Jesus is the only way into the kingdom of God, the bible states that God so loved the world that he gave up his only son, so that we may have everlasting life if we only follow him. God is about to take you on an incrediable jounrey. Along this jounrey, you will find that homosexualilty is a sin. I can not put it in any other way, it is a sin. As you begin to read the word of God and begin to understand the plan God has for you you will, in time, see this also. You will also understand that in the word of God it states in the book of Matthew, that sex is to be done to have kids. It does not state this word for word, but the meaning is clear. Also in the word of God, no where does it state that marriage can be between a man and man, or woman and woman. it states later on in the new test. that marriage is to be between a man and woman. so therefore it is a sin. So in just plain terms, you must give up being homosexual. When you make this choice, I promise God will be right there by your side to help you along the way. I promise you that. All you gotta do is reach out to him and ask him for your help. You know, me personally I'm going through some rough times, and I've lost my way. I;ve been at this point in my life where everything I do just does not want to work out. But, God has been there every time to pick me back up. If you need anything else, let me know hosss. I hope this helps

I have a 1992 Cadillac DeVille. It keeps dying on me while I'm driving. It has also been smoking quite a bit(white smoke), and I've noticed it isn't getting very good gas mileage. Any idea what the problem may be? (link)

usually price wise for something like that is not cheap. whats going on is pretty well like what ol boy said you need a valve job. it's either using to much fuel or burning oil or both. probally a valve seal is leaking.

ever since i've been a teenager i've been having confusing thoughts and doubts about my religion. i'm methodist christian, and was raised that way. we go to church on sundays, but we're not overly religious. like, my parents drink and stuff, we cuss, they party, i party, we're not like all "ZOMG DON'T SAY GOD'S NAME IN VAIN" or anything of the sort. okay in all honesty, i'm probably the worst christian alive. but from what i was raised to believe, that doesn't matter as long as i'm on the right path. and i wasn't worried about anything up until about 3 or 4 years ago.
i had found out that my closest friend was an atheist and it scared me. i didn't wanna picture the thought of a sweet girl like her burning in hell for eternity. but i couldn't change her mind!! no one could. so i finally gave up a year ago and just let her believe in what she wants to. and after i switched to public school and saw how everyone was either atheist or satanist or wiccan or something, and only a choice few were still christian, i started thinking in terms of more of an atheistic point of view, and if not that, agnostic. i want to believe anything will happen to me when i die. i mean, living for however many years and then going straight to the ground for eternity? what fun is that? i mean, i know dying isn't supposed to be fun, but what about those 4 year old kids that get run over or die of pnuemonia or something? they barely have any memories and they're just going to the ground, never to live again? i want to believe that there is a heaven. and i suppose if i believe there is a heaven, then there has to be a hell. but then i started thinking, how could any of this be possible? if god is real, well then why can't i hear him? i've tried to, and at times when i thought he was talking to me, its just been my own thoughts or my imagination. i find it really unfair that jesus was able to prove himself to everyone in the bible, so that they knew what to believe. well what about the rest of us? what do we have to lean on?! i have ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF of anything, and my clock is ticking! i don't want to stop believing, just to find out i was wrong and then go to hell for it, but i don't want to keep believing, and find out i was wasting my time on the wrong god, or that there is just no god, period. i need help and i need it fast. i have other things to worry about and this helps absolutely nothing. and everytime i turn around, one of my friends stop believing. the love of my life just said he didn't know if there's a god at all, and how can i help him if i can't even help myself? i don't want to lose him like i did with my other friend. it was too late to change her mind but i want to save him. (link)

i truely believe that you have a God given purpose for your life. Reason why i think that is you know down deep inside that there is a God. Because honey if you did not know that, you would not even be worried about if there is a heaven or a hell. you wouldnt even be worried about where your friend and your boyfriend would be spending eternity. you know, throught out the new testiment in the bible it states that towards the coming of the lord that what is happening to you will start to happen,it also states that God knows who his children are. and i feel as i type this, that God has you on his mind right now.
The bible also says in paslams chapter 1 verse 1 or 2 some where in there, to not be like unholy people, and to not "mingle" with them. now its fine to be friends with everyone you can be friends with thats not a problem. but when it starts to influence your life, your thoughts, and puts your on salvation up for grabs, you need to run away from people like that. Now what you gotta do, before you even atempt to save ANYONE, you must submit yourself to jesus christ, Gods son,and accept him as your lord and personal saviour. you must repent of your sins. and you must be baptized in the name of JESUS CHRIST. AND only that name. and it clearly states in the bible, that these things you must do to be saved, and spend eternity in heaven.
now you ask for proof. well let me ask you this. how can so complexed order(meaning the world,you,earth,planets etc.) come from chaos? how can complete utter chaos transform into this complex order we see today? well let me tell you, it had to have a creator, it had to be planned, things just dont happen to happen. EVERYTHING happens for a reason. theres a reason why you were placed in a "pool" of non belivers. theres a reason why you question these things, there is a reason why im sittin here typing this answer to you. so i pray, that you get firmly planted in the lord through, all i have told you. hope i help. need anything else let me know.

thank you so much for your response.
it meant alot, you seemed to care more then anyone else!
and you helped me look at the big picture :) !

21/f. My boyfriend is 23...um, this is gonna be long, there's a lot to it.
I just graduated from college with a valid degree that I created for myself because I just don't fit in the box. Right now, I "work" at a coffee shop. I used to have 7 days straight of work, and now I'm lucky if I get ten hours a week. I confronted my boss about this, and he told me that my coworkers are "uncomfortable working with" me. I asked my boss for an explanation, and he couldn't give me one; he disagrees with them and doesn't understand their problem...and yet won't give me work.
Now, I'm a very intelligent, pretty girl. I have a lot going for me. I make a point NOT to intimidate people, but how can I avoid doing that if my "self" is the issue?
That isn't really my big issue, but feel free to answer that, too.
I've been job hunting for about a month now. I have a kickass resume and a great set of skills for any job, and I can't even get an interview to be a teller at a bank.
I'm really starting to feel worthless. I also feel disconnected from everything, have no appetite, can't sleep without drugging myself, seem to be gaining weight - or at least, my body dysmorphia problems are coming back to haunt me (I used to be anorexic) - and I have constant head/neck aches that I can barely get to subside. I know these are symptoms of depression, and I'm having some serious trouble suppressing them.
My guy knows I've been job hunting. He knows I applied for that bank job. He knows it was my ticket to the rest of my schooling. He decided to call me yesterday to tell me that his brother, who posted his resume on the same site I did, got a call from a bank asking him to interview to be a teller...and my boyfriend was laughing about it. Somehow, it was funny to him that I already have my degree and can't get a job. I live on my own, have a cat to take care of, and REALLY need money, and his asshole younger brother (who hates me, just like the rest of his family), got a job using the same tools I did, with fewer skills and less experience than I have.
This whole thing makes me sick.
I know I need to talk to my boyfriend, that's coming tonight.
I guess my question is how the hell do I knock myself out of depression? I can't see a psychologist/psychiatrist because apparently our insurance doesn't cover that anymore. I feel like I'm losing it.
I don't even feel like I can talk to my boyfriend about this. We say we can tell each other anything and everything - and usually we do - but I just...after what he did yesterday, I don't feel like I can trust him not to hurt me with this somehow.
I don't know what to do. Any and all advice is welcome. =( (link)
| |
well, the first part of advice ima give you. is the whole boss, job thing. if i was you i would confront my coworkers, and excuse my french here, but...ask them what the hell is their problem. dont actually do that. but i would. you know its not that you yourself cant find a job. NOBODY CAN hardly. this economy right now, is not real good. so its goin be hard. but dont give up. the whole boyfriend thing, talk to him and tell him he hurt you. tell him that. i mean he should have not said all that. but my best advice for you, would be, dont loose faith. and just think positive. and keep yourself busy. you'll make it through. need anything else let me know.
|
This is long, please read it all, I need someone to actually listen to me.
Hey. I was always the girl who said, you can't fall in love as a teenager. I was against it, and even hated people who claimed they were.
The summer before 8th grade, I started talking to this guy, we'll call him "Bob". We innocently flirted, nothing much. In about septemer, still of 8th grade year, he started going out with his girlfriend, (we'll call her "Becky"). I wasn't too upset, I mean, him and I didn't even get serious. Then about two months later, he tried talking to me, more then a friend. I kept telling him to stop. More months passed, he still had his girlfriend. They'd been going out for about 8 months, i still tried to tell him no. Then about mid year of 8th grade, I starting flirting back. (Bob and Becky had sex a few times over this time period, crushed me, cause I starting liking him ALOT.) Then we just kept our relationship flirting over texting. Now i'm in 9th grade..and ever since december we've been REALLY serious, like we're in love, and we said we were in love before we ever hung out. (Is this possible?) He was about to leave her for me. So around mid March, "Becky" found out we'd been talking for more then half of their relationship. My life was at stake. She was PISSED, and of course I felt very guilty. But we only emotionally cheated, not saying it's right, but it's better then physical. So when she found out, she left him. He told me, baby now it's just me and you FOREVER. about a month later, he wasn't really texting me anymore. and i asked why..and he told me he was back with "Becky". MY heart broke. It was the worst feeling ever. Couldn't breathe. Didn't care if I didn't take another breath again. And when he finally told me, they'd been going out for 5 days already, why wait that long to tell a girl you "love"? So for the next two days we didn't talk. Which was so hard, because I usually talk to him from 6 a.m., til 10:30 p.m. ALL DAY EVERYDAY. no breaks. so my routine was gone. I HATED HIM. (yet still loved him..) The third day, I begged for him bag, even if he stayed with Becky. I needed him in my life. Even if I had to lower my worth, and standards, to be with someone who didn't love me enough to be with just me. Two weeks later, BECKY CHEATED ON BOB WITH HIS BEST FRIEND, (hypocrite much?) and she accused him of cheating with a Vanessa girl, and left him. This was in mid April. So since then it's been me and him. At first we never walked down the halls, cause Becky's friends harassed me. AND I HATED BEING HATED, so i have to be in love, why else would I go through all this trouble, right?? So for the last two weeks, we said hell with it, and went public! He meets me at my locker, kisses me in front of everyone, and tell people he loves me. And I feel the same. But somtimes, my feelings go crazy and one minute i love him, the next I don't feel any thing anymore. It's nothing he does..it's just my mind..is there a way I can stop that?? And last night, we went to my best friend's party, and it was our first party together, and it was amazing. he held me all night long, and when we dropped him off at his house, I started crying hysterically, cause I wont see him for two days. We were hugging, and he's like "bye wife, i love you." and "isaid i love you too," and tears started pouring down. And ever since last night, I know for sure I'm in love. Like I'm 15, but I wanna marry this boy. I've went through HELL AND BACK to get him, and if we end, it's all for nothing then..right? If you read this, thanks so much! :) (link)

wow. thats deep. first off. his ex is a bitch. (btw im a dude) i know i aint suppose to be talkin like that,"God forgive me" but wow. shes about like my ex who dumps me and starts dating and having sex with my best friend. but its w/e. well its good yall are finally together thats good. but i wanna warn u of something. don't dwell on this, but just keep it in mind. if he hurt you before there is always a chance he'll do it again. he may not. idk. time will tell. but just don't get to deep with this guy. keep in mind your 15, not 35. you have all your life yet to find love. so just be cautious is all i ask. but it's good you did find someone you like being around and all that. that is good. but my best advice for you right now. would be, watch how deep you get into the relationship with him, keep your feelings in mind, and his. need anything else. let me know.

I'm an addict. That's my personality. it seems like i always have to have an addiction. Unfortunately i've turned to dangerous and illegal addictions, even though I know its bad and I don't want to, I seem to go right back to terrible things. Is there a way out? (link)
| |
yes my friend there is a way out. theres a way to solve all your problems, and have peace that passes all understanding. and,its not killing yourself. but, the answer is jesus christ. and if you repent of your sins, be baptized. and recieve the holy ghost,i promise you can overcome ANY thing, that comes in your way. but in the bible, jesus said in john chapter 3 verse 5(john 3:5) that a person must be born of the water, and of the spirit in order to go to heaven, when you die. now what he ment by being born is, being spiritually born. it also says in the bible, that through christ you can overcome any evil, and anything of this world. so basicly in order to free yourself of these addictions, you must come to God. find a church, a GOOD church. that belives in the holy ghost, and being baptized, and repenting, and get God in your life. hope i helped.

I was raised Catholic and attended a private Catholic school from Pre-K through my senior year of high school. I just graduated in May.
Despite my Catholic upbringing, I am largely agnostic. I find Christians to be largely (though not completely) a hypocritical bunch crippled by Earthly desires. It pains me to watch churches around my hometown make multi-million dollar renovations, when that extreme sum of money could be used to benefit the poor of the world.
My biggest struggle: Christians will tell you that faith alone will save you. You need to have faith. Blahblahblah.
What if I CANNOT bring myself to believe? I have explored Christianity till I'm blue in the face. I am an intelligent, college-bound free-thinker and at this point in my life, I can't believe in God. If I were born with a less rebellious, more accepting nature, there is a good possibility that I would not have rebelled or questioned my religious upbringing and would still be Christian today.
What am I supposed to do? Pretend? I can go to church, read the Bible, pray yet I am unable to bring myself to believe in something I truly know does not exist.
If God gave me this personality, would he really damn a person to hell for being unable to believe because it went against their nature and conscience?
(link)
| |
im goin tell you plainly. if you CANNOT bring yourself to God. then God CANNOT bring you into heaven. and you'll go to hell. now, yeah thats kinda messed up. but thats how it works. and also you said if you were not born with less rebellious, more accepting nature you would probally belive in God? so your blaming everything, but yourself for your thoughts, how you act, and how you live. and also keep this in thought, what if you did go to church, read the bible, and mainly pray. more than likely you would get right with God again. also, if you wanna really test your bounds, go find another church to go to. like a baptist church. so basicly to answer your question. yes, God will damn you to hell for eternty if you deny him.

hi. im a guy and i have been going out with this girl. now i would realy like to start moving in this relationship but we havent had our first kiss. i dont know whens the right time and what to expect and i dont know what shuld i do like what if i do something wrong. hope you can understand. i need of lots of good advice. thanks. (link)

brother. women and relationships, are like playing chest. sometime you don't know which way to go. but thats good that yall had your first kiss, im happy for you. and basicly to answer your question, do what you think is right. and always be yourself. i've learned through out life that all the good women want a guy to be hiself,love the girl, and they wanna feel safe. now thats just the general rule. every girl is not like that. but if yours is, trust me brother, you'll know. hope i helped.

Raised in a catholic family, attending catholic school, i rebelled against christianity. I feel I had no religion until I was about 19 and realized I believed in the Great Earth Mother, who gave birth to the world and everything in it. I have prayed to this goddess for years until recently confused. I have always known deep down that something very significant would happen in my lifetime. I have learned a lot recently about the "end times" and the rapture. Which brings me back to the bible and am now thinking that God and Jesus is real. I know the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. I know we have seven years of tribulation before the apocalypse. I know war and famine and earthly destruction is beginning as i write this. i researched bible codes and feel there is a lot of truth in that. what i do not understand is the significance of men in the bible and religion. in the story of adam and eve, women are basically cut down. the messiah, jesus was a man. god is portrayed as a man. Yet women are life giving and wise. (not saying men are not wise). it would only seem to me that the mother of earth is in fact female in a way. if there is so much truth in the bible, then why are women insignificant as compared to Jesus and the prophets? if i do not believe in jesus deep down in my heart am i destined for hell although i am a good person? God chose women to give birth and and i think all that is today came from a female figure, because only women give life. if the rapture is real, i do not wish to be left behind because i don't believe in my heart that Jesus is our savior. I love life, i love people, i stay away from evil. i also do not think gay people or unmarried parents are wrong like it says in the bible. it pains me to think life ends with death. Even if my question is not precise, any insight will do , since i cannot fully give you the gist of my confusion. thank you (link)
| |
my dear friend, wow. let me take a second a give God(the actual one true God) some glory. because that was God talkin to you. in order to truely know in your heart that God is real, you must seek him, in prayer, and say lord, come to me, and speak to my heart. see you must want to get to know him. not just be afraid of goin to hell. you must WANT to know him and jesus christ. now basicly im goin break this down. jesus is God in the flesh. also, the bible states very clearly that no man/woman knows the date,or the hour of christ's return. not even the angels. only God. so you must be ready. you must accept christ as your lord and personal saviour. and get baptized in the name of jesus christ. in order to be saved and go to heaven. hoped i helped.

my mom grounded me for having sex...im 16...wtf...i can do what i want, im almost an adult...sex doesnt have to be about love...how can i make my mom get me out of the house, i want to continue having sex and doing fun shit while i still can...*jer* (link)
| |
wow.....this is exactly why ppl give us teens a bad name. and the word ALMOST!!!!!!!!! is so improtant in this its "almost" FUNNY! so your saying its fine to get banged by every guy, get a few kids, get some STDS. and die. right? and if you say"well i can always get an aboration. I HOPE GOD HIMESELF STRIKES YOU DOWN!!! because if he doesnt in this life. well you'll get it for murder when you answer for all your sins when you do die. but i do pray, that God gets ahold of you before its to late.

I know this is an issue that many people deal with and i have tried just about everything that i know but nothing seems to work....I think i have an addiction to porn and i dont know what to do...i went a whole month and a half without doing it and it was the hardest thing for me....i dont know how to get it out of my head,.i pray about it just about every night and im tired of being this way please help (link)
| |
lord have mercy. my brother/my sister. when i read this question the power of God RAN all over me! like the people who have said before. you are allowing it to contiue. now temptation is a very hard thing. the bible says that when a man is drawn away from his lust, he is tried and tempted. keep praying. if the porn is on the computer, excuse my lang. but...throw the DAMN THING OUT THE DOOR! if its in a mag. dont even drive by the store. bible also says if you flee from satan, he will flee from you. also your goin have to make up ur mind, and say"alright im goin walk with God, and i put my foot down, no more!" rebuke satan every time you're tempted. just say the name jesus,try that every time your tempted. and have faith in that name. and i promise it will go away. when your are tempted, and satan comes and attacks you, start praying right then and there, rebuking satan in the name of jesus christ. and if you do these things. you will not fail! hope i helped.

14/f.
so ive been through alot with family problems and mentall problems and im starting to lose faith in god.
any help is appreciated. (link)
|
sorry it took me so long to answer. my best advice to you, would be pray. pray for your family.and pray for your delevierce of the mental problems. God is still there, he always has been there, he hasnt turned a deaf ear to you. i promise. but dont loose faith. there are times in life, when things happen to you, and it seems like all hell is breaking loose and is coming after you. that is the time you get down on your knees in faith, and say"alright lord. not sure what your plan is, BUT, i do know, that all things work for your glory, and i know that when i come out of this, there is a blessing waiting for me on the other side." and if you pray that prayer. and mean it in complete and total faith. GOD WILL!! BRING YOU OUT!!! i hope helped. need anything else just yell.

Im having serious thoughts about giving up on life, nothing has been going good for me and i always feel like shit. I try to be a really nice guy and whenever i do something good for someone, i get shit shoveled in my face, is this a sign i should just dive head first into an empty pool?
p.s. thats not the way id do it though haha (link)
| |
hey now, dont do none of that. let me tell you alittle of what i've been goin through. my girlfriend almost o'd. yesterday. now for yall who dont know what o'd is. it stands for over dosing. so my brother trust me, it can ALWAYS get worse. and keep doing good to people. God favors that. and the people who treat you bad, after you did somethin good for them, they'll get thiers. but keep doing good, and God will see that, and bless you. need anything else. just yell.

i have been going to the same church for about 8 years, and my paretns work there. i am a core kid, but i have gotten "replaced" but some other girl. she has taken the spot of all the original core kids. so to speak. so the original core kids are getting burnt out of our current church and we havent been getting anything out of it, so we are going to a different church for the next few weeks, and my youth pastor isnt happy with that. he says im not being faithful. what should i do? (link)
| |
well....you go to church to serve God, and to worship God. not to do "jobs" for your personally glory, but for Gods. and so what if the girl took your spot as a "core kid". big deal. you should still go to church, and worship God. but i would suggest that you seek God about this, and see which way he takes you.
|
|
I need help. Every time i try to tell my parents or friends that i want to kill myself, no one believes me. (link)
|
well you came to the right place for help. i thank God in heaven that you put this up. i would first suggest that you go to a counsoler, at your school, or a trusted adult, and tell them whats goin on, and they'll get you the help you need. then i would suggest getting in touch with jesus christ. if you need anything, help, or w/e. send me an email thingy. and ill help you the best God allows me.
|
|
what, and when is the best way to off yourself, like the fastest and easiest (without a gun cuz i don't have one) i've tried almost everyway (but a gun obviously) but i always get caught in the act please help me. even just telling me household items to mix for instantaineous death (sorry can't spell) and don't try to talk me out of it my whole life people had tried to talk me out of it and it makes no sense i have nothing going for me everything sucks my family hates and abuses me, i have no friends, my soccer team sucks, i suck, please help (link)
|
oh my brother or my sister. listen. there is things in this life you must make a choice on. and this is one of them. and i ask you just one question. why are you letting people make you get so depressed, and sick of this world/life, that you wanna just give it up? you are your own person. not somebody's puppet. and from the way the last part of the question sounds, your YOUNG. you have your whole life ahead of you. and as i stand before God and all who will read this, keep walking through it, dont give up, and i promise it'll get better. also, i would greatly suggest getting in touch with God. im telling brother/sister, theres nothin he CAN NOT handle. but like the person before me said, PRAY! and seek God. another thing i would also sugest is seek counseling. whether its a teacher, or an actual school counselor. get some help. PLEASE. and my friend, if you need anyone to talk to, send me an email/question thingy, get in touch with me. and ill help you the best i can.
God bless

How and why do guys get over breakups so easily? (link)
| |
man i wish i would get over the girl i was with easily. BUT, didnt work out that way. so it just depends on the dude. we're all different
|
Lately I've just been feeling reeally depressed. But there are reasons. I'm truthfully not good enough for anyone. There's nothing good about me and I can't do anything. I've been giving up on everything because I can't succeed in anything. I've even been cutting my arms which I swore to myself I would never do. When I try to talk about it I just get more depressed and it's just like well nobody knows what I'm going through anyways so why bother. When I'm with people I act totally different from what I feel. I don't like letting people know what I'm feeling, because I'm constantly depressed. I've even considered suicide. >_<
So can someone please help me stop this feeling? I don't want to take anti-depressants because then I'd have to tell my mom and I don't want her freaking out. I don't want to cut anymore, it just feels like a last resort. ): (link)
| |
well my brother or my sister. which ever one you maybe. i dont know what your faith may be, whether your a christian or atheist, but either way im here to walk you through and outta this troubled time you have in your life. when you said that you wasnt good enough for anyone, im here to tell you something, there is at LEAST, i know theres more but at LEAST, one person who loves you for who you are, and respects you for what you do, and all the good you have in you. now, maybe you dont wanna show the good inside you, but there is people who actually care. then when you said you get more depressed when you talk about your problems, well thats a part of it, its goin hurt more when you talk about it, BUT i promise you that once you get on the other side, and get done talkin about it, you'll feel a WHOLE lot better. now i ask you, and i pray you listen to me on this, dont commit suicde. please dont. its not worth dying over, and spending forever in hell just because of a mistake you cant take back. dont. im goin pray for you though, that God walks you through and outta what your in, but i promise, it'll get better. need anything else just yell.

well we'll start off with baptism. when you come to the lord and accept God, and his son jesus christ as lord, and repent of your sins(ask for forgivness), the bible then says to get baptized in the name of jesus christ. here is an example of what jesus says in the bible concerning baptism, matthew 28:19. now holy communion. to be honest this is some what a catholic thing. BUT the bible teaches us ALL to do this. holy communion started at the last supper, the night jesus was betrayed by judas. and at the last supper, he gave instructions to do holy communion. jesus said in matthew 26:26-28, starting in 26 "take, eat this is my body. and then he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, drink you all of it, for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remisson of sins." now the first part of that jesus prayed over the bread, broke it and gave it to them. now that symobolizes his body. the part where he took the cup and blessed it, symobolizes his blood. so actually baptism goes in hand with holy communion. hoped i helped. need anything else, just yell
