It is really difficult to be a christian, First off God wants me happy, and tells me to always be happy, then he tells me to ask for what I want and he will give it to me, and if that is NT disgusting enough he says that he will give me the desire of my heart. OOOO it is so difficult, but on top of that he says that he has a inheritance for me and then he wants to make some of us kings and princes.
Is this really worth it or should I just give up????
Don't want to try Islam, too much killing. Maybe I should just be one of those Christian retards and let Jesus show me how I can really love my enemy's and well I just will have to give up and be happy and keep on asking for things so God can keep giving me things.
It is just SO difficult being happy all the time and him giving me things. Well I guess I will just have to get used to it. I hear that it also says something about streets of gold in the Bible, I suppose I will have to walk on them too. Oh well I give up I will just be my old happy self
I love you Andy. God bless
what are you a retard Christianity is the easiest brain dead religion on earth. All you have to do is nod your head and believe that some guy 2000 years ago was actually Gd and that he came to save you from your sins. and as long as you cling on to that you will be OK. For crying out load you don't even need to read the book just listen to what others tell you.
Christianity is not difficult, it's impossible. It goes against every instinct a human has. It is impossible to love everyone, it is impossible to always maintain "pure thoughts", etc. It is an exercise in futility designed to guilt you into submission. I wouldn't waste my time with it.
I say keep running the race. Abraham did not understand a lot of things, but he trusted in God, and that outweighed any fear,doubt, or worry that he had.
"Understanding is the reward of faith. Do not try to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand." -Augustine
Yes, it is worth it! Don't worry too much about being perfect. God knows that no one is, that is why He sent his son to die on the cross for me. He forgives us all for our imperfections, if we ask him to. Just try to learn as much as you can by reading the Bible, going to church and talking to other Christens as much as possible. And don't forget to pray everyday. At first it will seem hard, but the more you give to Him, the less of a chore it will seem and your rewards will be Heavenly. God bless!
Has it ever occurred to you that you may be expecting too much? God never promised anyone a perfect life. In fact, Jesus told his disciples specifically that the life of a believer wasn't going to be a bowl of cherries. They would be despised, tortured, and killed for their faith.
What God does promise is to never abandon you and to give you whatever SPRITUAL blessings you may ask for. Christianity is absolutely worthwhile. After all, what other investment can boast 100% guaranteed eternal salvation for the meager cost of saying "I do believe"?
If you have truly accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, then you can never lose him...
Once a Christian, always a Christian, no matter what, no matter how far you roam...
Please, i know it's hard, but the result is Soohilling...
Perhaps you are holding yourself to the "God Standard" like we so often do...
You are only human and God knows that...
Find much peace, love, and wisdom in His Holy Word...
He wants you to be happy and He knows what is best for you...
If you truly love the Lord, then you will be happy doing His work with the time you still have on earth...
Much love...Peace
No, Jesus said, "Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able." Luke 13.24 NKJV
He also said, "Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you....When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say...For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you...and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved." Matthew 10.16-22 NKJV
Is there anything worth having in this world that one doesn't have to work for? God's salvation is the most worthy possession of all. Shouldn't we have to work for it?
That's a very interesting question, thank you for asking it.
God wants us happy, but He never promised us an easy life. God knows we struggle, we have problems, and that we are weak enough to sin. We cannot help sinning, it's part of our basic nature, and God is well aware of this.
God will always answer our prayers and give us what we need. It is important to understand that this isn't always the same as what we want. Just as a child may want a candy bar when he needs to be fed, the child may end up with a bowl of vegetables, which meets his needs, not his wants.
God has a wonderful inheritance waiting for us in heaven, where our treasures are stored. All we have to do to receive them is accept that Jesus offered us the opportunity to have Him pay for our sins, and to try our best to avoid sinning. We will not be 100% successful, but that's okay, there is no perfect human. When you realize you've sinned, try to learn from it. Most importantly, love other people as much as you love God and you love yourself. Helping other people is a visible example to others that we love our neighbor, which Jesus said was the most important commandment.
It is worth more than you could ever think or imagine.first off it says that we are to delite ourselves in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Now if you have your mind focused on him you will begin to be filled with the joys of the lord. Th ats where we get our strength. And always remember this"the race is not won by the swift nor given to the mighty, but to those who endure till the end. Look up endure and then you will understand that its not easy being a christian but it is worth every hard time that comes along. And the treasures that he speaks of are in heaven and thats where we get our reward.
Christianity includes our crosses. Without a cross, there is no Christianity. Jesus said, "Take up your cross and follow me." That's why Christianity is SOult. It needs perseverance.
Get in the bible...Romans 10:17 "Faith cometThy hearing and hearing by the word of God." Jesus never said that he is eternal life he said in John 6:63 "...the words that I speak they are spirit and they are life." John 14:23 "...If a man love he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him." Revelation 1:3 "Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein." Luke 8:11 "Now the parable is this the seed is the word of God." Only believing what the word of God says will tell you the difference between who is telling a lie and who is telling the truth Jesus said in Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Believing in God or his Son Jesus will not at all save you or heal you. Believing that Jesus died and arose from the dead will not at all save anybody. The bible says in Romans 8:11 "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, (the word) he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
What I am saying is that get in the word get in the King James Bible. 1st John 3:6 whosoever abideth in him sinneth not and whosoever sinneth hath not seen him neither hath known him." If you abide in his word you will sin no more, you will be perfect, (Blameless doing what the bible says before God the Father of Jesus), and you will be righteous, holy, sanctified. John 17:17 ?Sanctify them through thy word thy word is truth." When you convert to what the bible says and become a son of God you get power to stop sinning and to be an overcomer and know the difference between a truth and a lie. Just read the bible God has no power nor Jesus with man kind without the bible Romans 1:16 ?For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto Salvation to everyone that believeth." Believing in God or Jesus for power they don't have any it is through the word of God you get power.
Relax, you no need to understand the right way to act to god. Just read all religious books and try to understand the law among them. And be kind. Later you will have a chance to stay in heaven peacefully.
It's really not that difficult. I guess people make it difficult because they are so used to living in the flesh, that repenting is like going through some detox. That's why it's so important to pray everyday for strength and wisdom. It does get easier and easier. I love Jesus!!
Salvation is a free gift by the Grace of God. God gave you a brain & freewill. It's your choice. It's a win-win no-brain er challenge to resolve. [Not facetious.]
Christianity is soooo dificult?
