Thread Topic: Issues...

I believe what I believe because of the logical truth I have found in it. I don't believe intelligent creation could have happened without an intelligent creator. There are just... many issues I'm having.
The pretty much giving up my life to God thing is hard. I am blessed to have Jesus die for my sins and give me life, but in return I give my life completely over to God. As you can see, I don't do a good job of that.
I don't want to go to hell, I keep wondering about heaven and hell so much. Sometimes I wish I could just stay in the medium. That no one had to go to a place like hell. And I always try to keep a good face for Christianity, because so many people are turned away these days.
But it's hard, and it's sacrifice. I know the answer many would say to me is "Why not just give up? Become atheist and don't worry about it." It's not that simple for me. It's total truth in my life, dominating. My parents are strong Christians, so I don't want to turn on my family. And also there really is so much good and love in my beliefs, it's just I struggle, like anyone struggles. I'm not always strong.
I am proud of being a Christian and stuff, it's just I don't always feel like I'm as Biblical as I could be. I'm selfish honestly, and I enjoy doing things my way, even if I do screw it up. But it doesn't mean I don't love God. I'm just confused, I guess. -
I think what I'm realizing for myself is it's not God who's the problem. It's me. In order for me to actually grow spiritually I need to be willing to move.
But what if, I don't want to, right now. What does that mean...? I'm feeling selfish and wanting to do things my way.
Well, I guess I'll come back after I crash and burn and admit I'm wrong. I suppose I just need to find out for myself why something is wrong, by feeling the consequences. -
ana, can i give my opinion on this? If you dont want me to I wont and I'll understand if you dont want to debate right now.
-
It's fine Ork, I'm actually curious. :3
-
THANK YOU ANA
This is what I've been trying to say this whole last debate I had.
Everybody who thinks I'm looking for some stupid excuse for comfort LOOK AT THIS f---ING THREAD! -
It looks like you are robbing yourself of some self satisfaction in your second post. You're blaming yourself for simple human emotions and have convinced yourself that the only way to redeem yourself is through missery.
-
Yes Appayi, I'm glad I could help lol.
Yeah, that actually sounds true Ork. I guess I'm just looking for some way to comfort me, but in the end, bring myself into the vicious circle again.
I guess, I don't doubt my beliefs, just my strength really. -
and as for the basis of your arguement in the first post, I dont want to start explaining every detail as to why we are here. We arent an intellegent creation at all. That implies we would have had to of been creation.
-
lol ana. you said you're glad you could help appay explain how religion wasnt a comfort tool, and then you said you were just looking for a way to comfort yourself. xD
-
I understand, I'm not really in health to go into science at the moment myself.
I just find the most comfort in my life through friends, and the things I like such as art and anime and music. I feel like that's what I live for. Not God. -
lol, my mind is off today. xD
-
and yet if you dont live for god, why have you decided that you're doomed to missery because you dont believe you follow him exactly? Something doesnt add up...
-
Because my religion makes sense to me, as far as Satan and creation and God goes. I believe in it and the sense it gives me gives me comfort. It's just I don't live in it constantly, if that makes sense. ._.
-
no. it doesnt. It sounds maddeningly inconsistant and ill concieved.
-
You're right. 100% right.
I'm going to learn more about my God, and if I still feel the same connection and truth in it, I go to it 100% dedicatedly. If I don't, then I change.
I can't live in the middle, because confusion isn't comfort at all.
