It's mylordwon
Hi Milly,
I'm glad to hear you know Jesus. Early teens is a tough age. Your body, mind, and spirit go through many changes, but making wise choices is the key.
Mr. skittles is a hard-hearted, prideful, angry individual who desperately needs Jesus.
Let me explain a few things. God is what's called "the first response". He always was, is and will be.
The Bible says in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
When God created the heavens and the earth, He created time. Before that, there was no time there was only eternity. Once God created the earth, He created people in His image.
Gen 1:26 says...Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
Did you notice it said OUR image and OUR likeness? We are body, soul, and spirit. God is body (Jesus), soul (which is what we would call the heart of someone...emotions, mind and strength and the soul reflects our Heavenly Father) and then our spirit, (which is like the Holy Spirit). So God made Adam and Eve in His image perfect just like Him. But God also gave Adam and Eve a free will. I'll stop there for a minute and talk about angels and satan.
Angels were created by God, but they are not created in God's image. However, they have a free will. Satan was the angel named Lucifer; the angel in charge of music. He was noted as the most beautiful angel of them all. Lucifer CHOSE to be filled with pride and decided he wanted to be God. God cast Lucifer down and also a third of the angels when they CHOSE to rise up with him.
So God makes the earth and and everything in it. Adam and Eve are perfect. God says they can eat of every tree except the tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil (Gen. 2:17). Why did God say that? Because He always gives us a choice.
So back to God created...You probably know the story...Satan tempts Eve. She and Adam sin. God has them leave the garden. If not, you can read it in the first few chapters of Genesis.
The bible says, Gen 3:24 "He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life."
Why did God place the cherubim around the tree of life? To protect its purity from the sinful man and woman. The tree of Life in that passage is showing us the cross (Tree) and Jesus (Life).
The heart of God can not look on sin because He is holy. So He sent His Son Jesus to cover our sin with the sacrifice of His blood. The blood of Jesus now covers those who believe.
Mr. Skittles admits he does not believe, so he belongs to Satan. Mr. Skittles words are filled with hateful pride against God just like his father the devil. Satan holds people in bondage to their sin. Only a repentant heart can break that bondage. I pray Mr. Skittles heart turns from the evil that binds him before it's to late.
Your doubts are thoughts planted in your mind by Satan, but because you have the blood of Jesus covering you, he can't do anything without God's permission. God allows temptation and uses it to grow us up in the faith. The temptation itself isn't sin, it's what you do with it that determines whether it's sin or not. You are seeking truth and that is VERY good. Don't give in to Mr. Skittle's ranting. It's a ploy from Satan to lure you away from your relationship with God. Satan knows he has lost you to Jesus, so the only thing he can do is try and get you to make bad choices.
The bible says, in James 4:7 to resist the devil and he will flee. Satan cringes and absolutely hates God's Word. We reading it (especially out loud) is like stabbing Satan with a knife. He will flee because Greater is He who is in you! Yeah! (1 John 4:4)
I'm around if you have anymore questions.

Thank you, and I will DEFFENATLY ask you if I have any more questions. You really know what you are talking about. Although, "Satan was the angel named Lucifer; the angel in charge of music. " This sounds fake to me, but I know it shouldn't. ??
