Any of you Anons taking up your crosses, help me to know I'm not alone here. I just want everyone to realize and understand how much better things can be through Christ.
Hey user. Whenever I'm in a difficult spot I simply recite Romans 5:1-5
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Hope this helps.
Christian Cruz
I was just reading that passage last night. Paul has become one of my favorite saints as I've grown in my faith. Bless, user, thank you for sharing.

The founding principles of Christianity, when Jesus is born teach us the it's perfectly fine to have your wife cucked (Joeseph and Mary) and letting in refugees is good (Joeseph and Mary).
It's a cuck religion designed in implement a slave morality amongst its follows.
>have your wife cucked (Joeseph and Mary) Literally not what happened. >letting in refugees is good (Joeseph and Mary) Lolwut? They weren't refugees. You following the PR Pope's Globalist Tweets?
Jordan Allen
two thirds of the earth will die because they are not ready for redemption when Zeus returns. all those morons who mock and make fun will probably be dead sitting in the dust for 1000 years waiting to be judged.
Fuck that cucked kike on a sticking worshiping bullshit. You faggots will be licking the shit out of the asses of God's chosen people for the rest of time.
This board might have a lot of nice anti-degeneracy strongholds, but there's just as much to lead us astray as there is to enlighten us here. Like all earthly gathering places for the faithful, it's not perfect, but the love that is there is still valuable.
Charles Price
Read the Bible first before you start running your kike mouth, rabbi.
>Literally not what happened. God cucked Joesph by making mary pregnant. How else can you spin that?
>Lolwut? They weren't refugees. It's in Luke where the innkeepers turned them away, it's the same principle.
Adam Clark
You are alone brother for the most part. You have no power to change the world from its sinful course or even your own desire to sin. Just believe in Christ and his redemption. Christians are set apart from this world for reason. The best you can do is to preach and teach the word. And rely not on your own self but Jesus.
William Wright
Religion is just a way for people to escape reality and keep ''order'' despise they sins everyday but at least here we open up instead of keeping to ourself see this place as cenfession box
>Religion is just a way for people to escape reality That's not what Christianity is about. Jesus is THE WAY. THE TRUTH. THE LIFE.
Not THE ESCAPE. We Christians do not preach Jesus as an escape from life and its problems, but all the more a way to approach them and work them out. If your faith starts and ends when you're going to church you're obviously doing it wrong.

The Eastern Cult of sol invictus was adopted to compete with christianity, instead it merely was absorbed by it.

I'm right there with you brother. I've been feeling out of step with my faith the past couple of weeks, almost like someone bumping into a record player and skipping the needle. I haven't been praying as much, haven't been reaching out to Christ as often, I'm kind of taking him for granted lately I think. I've been struggling with a writing project, and work has been dragging me down lately. It's had to live a christ-centered life these days.
Hello brother, know that you are saved by your faith alone no matter what happens. You are not alone. The Lord is with us, He sacrified Himself for our sins. Keep moving forward, fighting and having faith. He is with us and always will be. I was raised a muslim and taught that Jesus Christ was a prophet. I always had much respect for Him. Only when I educated myself and learned about what they did to Him I understood that He was the Truth. I'm forever thankful that He guided and saved my poor soul.
Hudson Carter
So it's just a way to boost your motivation to do something ?
>finds it challenging to be Christ like on Jow Forums? kek
There's nothing wrong with a little shit flinging, user. This is a special place. I'm sure you would not be here if you were not up to the task. It is enough to strive not to be too mean-spirited. Choose your battles wisely.
the correct approach to life is the christian approach. Spread faith without sounding like a Jehova's witness. Prove to your peers that faith is the way to go by being the best person in any given room without flashing.
Ethan Rivera
Daily reminder that Jesus was a Jew and that the Bible was written by kikes.
Motivation is part of it, I guess. My point is, Christianity shouldn't and doesn't encourage ignoring reality. We should face how bad, sinful and degenerate things really are.
Jaxon Roberts
>Jews larp like they hate Jesus goy! >Please believe this Jewish religion and worship a Jewish god, goy! Nice try, kike.

>Sick of pagan raiding and division >Decides to call them LARPers and continue the division >Surprised when the division doesn't end How about we work towards unity. Christianity was never about forcing your faith on others an nothing changes until people it needs to change.

And ultimately we must do it in love. That's the important part. If we don't have love, we have nothing.
Ian Perry
I wish I could be into God like some of you people are. Nobody in my circle is that open about religion and was raised by a mother that was openly hostile to Christians. The culture of pretentious whites in Los Angeles doesn't supporting talking about God except as a joke because you can't be serious about the "sky ghost."
>Christianity was never about forcing your faith on others
>Doesn't even understand his own religion Good comedy right here.
Owen James
Read the book. Yeshua came to free us from the bondage of man made religion. He followed the Torah and lived a perfect life to show us our Father's love for us. He desires a personal relationship with us through His Holy and Living Word that was given us on Mt. Sinai. If you read it and seek Him diligently, He will guide you. He made you for a time such as this and He knows the trouble you see. He loves you user and only desires good thing for us all. Serve the Father and help us all.
There is only one antidote offered by our LORD Jesus Christ, "abide" in Him by His word" + John 15, :Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." "Peace I leave with you...let your heart not be troubled, neither be afraid."
Brody Turner
>>every day is another test of my patience and diligence >>every setback or every sinful way I fall short feels like such a blow Pro-tip: this doesn't get any better as you become more mature in faith and receive assurance. The more you grow in holiness, the more you despise even the smallest sins that grieve and betray our Lord. But remember Matthew 11:28-30
As far as coming here goes, if you find that this forum is proving to be a temptation to say ungodly things that betray your witness to the Gospel, then I think the answer here is that you need to stop coming here. There's nothing really edifying or uplifting for the Christian in this venue, you get either foolish apathetic atheists, outright demonic mockers, or those who peddle a false social/cultural gospel that supports their cultural idols of white identity. Find community in your local church and online in places where the Gospel is present and saturating the conversation.

>any others 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
But sometimes its so tiresome. It really is. >For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
>Doctrinally it's not. Manifestly it is. That's where you're wrong kiddo. Christianity is inherently a slave morality. The reason it has manifested is precisely because the doctrine is directed towards forcing faith. Forced conversions were very common in Rome and Christianization was practically compulsory for pagans at sword point. Your god is a Jew, your doctrine was written by Jews, and the entire religion is based on submission and hatred.
> Retard who knows nothing about why Rome fell demonstrating why he knows nothing about why Rome fell
A reminder that the christian Eastern Roman Empire survived about a millennia after the pagan west.

>slavery The funny thing is, its not that you are free by not being slaves to Christ, you are merely slaves to sin, slaves to your physical bodies. Afterall you are only free enough to go back to the toilet on a daily basis. To empty your bowels and fill it up with food again. To force yourself to breathe to sleep, to live all so you can do it again the next day.
You are literally slaves to a physically decaying flesh bag.
i can agree with that also i'm not an atheist neither a religious but i am naturally a good person but i can't see religion as a good thing since people use it to achieve their goal (not the everyday life problem), manipulating other with it and narrowminded ideology (why they don't say god created our universe for us to explore and understand how it work)
Elijah Green
You are not alone. Christ knows I'm not His best soldier, the cross is often heavy to bear. Still, must pick it up again, must persevere.

Isaac Sullivan
I used to be really close to God. The first thing to ruin that was other Christians. Bullies, mockers, idiotic worldly people. Then God allowed me to fast for 40 days and it completely ruined my life. Now I'm no longer annointed by the Holy Spirit and I feel like God has abandoned me and my life is getting worse. And I don't seem to care. Because my actions are getting worse too.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles brother. I'm going through a rather dry season with my faith, but I can still say with confidence that I have the Holy Spirit in me, even if it is dormant for the moment. What happened in your life right around the time you started to feel abandoned?
Evan Hughes
I'm not a Christian. I agree about slave morality and the like, but I don't know of any actual biblical passages that encourage or condone forced conversion.
Evan Moore
The Bible is just Talmud 2: Crucifixion Boogaloo Just as the Quran is Talmud 3: Return of the Sandnigger
You're all just brainlets who can't cope with life in any way other than muh big skydaddy watches over me
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [a]Because narrow is the gate and [b]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

>compulsion Says the exact opposite actually.
>8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life
Forced conversion is stealing God's glory as though God himself is unable to convert someone without the perpetrator forcing it.
Samuel Davis
Faith without works is dead.
>Research the first 1,000 years the church and you'll see.

I am almost exactly where you are in my faith right now. I feel sometimes like God led me on a path and then left me to die.
All things work to his purpose. I'm praying for you, you'll get through this. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Brayden Lee
Sometimes when I feel sad I just sing to myself
'Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so' like we did in Sunday school
And I think back to when I was a pure, blonde haired, blue eyed little boy before my mind became corrupted by this world of sin. I think that we are his children and if we tell him we are sorry and try our best every day then we will all join together in heaven one day.
I am glad I found Jow Forums because I don't think I would have found God as an adult without it. I love you my brothers in Christ and even those of you who don't believe, I have prayed for all of you.
Blake Gomez
>>every setback or every sinful way I fall short feels like such a blow well maybe stop being ignorant and realize "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." a Christian who is saved shouldn't constantly feel down every time they sin it's impossible to live life sinless accept that
Isaiah Williams
God took my first Christian friend away and I missed her a lot, until I had a dream about her which really disturbed me. It involved hell and Satan being brought to the pit and trying to get me to help it from receiving the wrath of God. I've been cursed with loneliness for a long time now and I got a full time job meaning I don't have much time to myself either. Then add in my sexual degeneracy that I went through, I just find myself not close to God any more. Ever since I met Satan in that way, I no longer feel the Holy Spirit annointing. It just makes me depressed that I'm going to die now and I'm pretty sure He won't give it to me again so now I'm just stuck here sinning until I die.
I can't follow these words of wisdom. I don't think you understand my situation. Thank you.
Dominic Thomas
You have to accept the Second Coming of Christ in your life !
Whenever I get down, I try to see things from a "down, but not out" perspective. Fighting the good fight comes with taking some blows, and I'm no quitter where Christ is involved.
Lucas Collins
>Have you never wronged Define 'wronged'.
>slavery to the body >slavery to a make believe Jewish god I'll choose my body, thanks.
The end result is the same regardless if you're accepting there is no such thing as a spirit or an afterlife.
You might find these verses interesting.
Luke 12: >51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: >52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. >53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke 14: >26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
You agree that it is a slave morality. Slave moralities lead to forced conversions happening because of the psychology behind them. And that's exactly why they happened. The bible itself doesn't specifically have to say it unequivocally. But it does provide plenty of metaphysical threats: >Convert and believe in Jesus or ye shall burn in eternal fire
Logan Green
the point Being God's forgiveness is endless as long as you are always determined to improve your life and stop sinful habits then you shouldn't feel down as long as you have the will to be an upright son of God then you should live a life of rejoicing not guilt and fear though obviously you shouldn't get complacent and start thinking >eh I can do whatever I want, God will forgive me

You know, I really don’t like Christians like you. There’s something absolutely unnatural about a human being trying to love all other human beings; it’s a totally impossible feat. Some (most) people are assholes and so utterly lost to the point that any effort in attempting to recover or redeem them is a waste of time.
I mean, Jesus is an ideal, he loved us all (and not even I am sure of that one) because he’s this image we should strive for and not take things sonliterally Instead we should be striving to understand we’re human in the end, and that it’s completely unavoidable we will err in our way eventually, and concentrate on growing a conscience rather than falling into this “oh no I have sinned” mentality. This way of thinking is in direct opposition with what Jesus actually taught: don’t follow laws for following laws’s sake (10 commandments), try to understand the general meaning behind them (be as good a person as possible).
Whenever I read these church hoer starter pack-tier comments I can’t help thinking how absolutely unchristian this mentality is, and how the only way to love humanity is to isolate yourself and grow melancholic because any contact ends in disappointment.
And all of this coming from a Christian.
Aiden Russell

And I was saying that there are no passages supporting forced conversion. Even if it happened a lot in history. That's another thing to consider, you're having your cake and eating it too. You've been forcefully converting people for thousands of years and you still get to claim it's unchristian. Makes me suspicious honestly.
Christopher Barnes
Hello Schlomo Paul says that I am the Jew now, please report to the nearest gas chamber.
Corinthians 5:17-18 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,the new creationhas come:The old has gone, the new is here!18All this is from God,who reconciled us to himself through Christand gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
You cannot lose salvation and you cannot lose the gift of the Spirit.
Satan is the accuser. He wants you to feel like whatever you've done can separate you from God. You're not separated from God or the Holy Spirit.
You're right that I dont understand your situation because each of us face something entirely unique to ourselves. God knows what you're going through. He loves you and has a purpose for you.
Try to find a church. At one of my lowest points I prayed to find a church and God lead me to one. It has made such a huge difference in my life. If you're in a church rn and you still feel this loneliness pray that God will give you someone to talk to or lead you to another church.
You dont have to "stay strong" or whatever motivation nonsense people usually say. God is your strength. It's like the song Jesus loves me - we are weak but he is strong
Oliver Lewis
You're not alone OP.
Remember, none of us can stop sinning. Mankind is totally depraved. All we can do is put our faith in Lord Jesus Christ, who came to give his life as ransom for us. Pray to Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit.
The faith that Jesus was a filthy Palestinian Arab-kike and christkikery is Jewish subversion, yes.
Camden Anderson
you have no idea the amount of bullshit I have endured for my faith, but for all the hardship and struggling I basically got 2 wives, maybe not exactly the most Christian thing but hey, they came to me about it so how is it bad?
it pays off, just remember everyone's life is relative, everyone has an internal war they're waging against the ((())), and you got the strongest people on Earth behind you at will for sharing the same faith

There's no sky daddy, but god exists in that he is the externalized "source" of good, truth, and creativity. God is that force inside you. Satan is the animalistic destructive force. Your base instincts that just want to eat and fuck and kill. It's man that feeds the hungry, treats the sick, and stands on water, but he can only do these things with a good nature and healthy muse.
Further, heaven and hell are not real places, they're the memory of you held by your loved ones after you die - because that's the only way your you-ness exists. You have everlasting life if you go to heaven if your family thinks back on you fondly and often. You suffer in hell if your family thinks back on you with disdain.
And signing the cross is a reminder of your obligations:
>Father Your forefathers, those that came before you and passed their traits on to you. Your race.
>Son Your heirs, the generations to come, and the legacy you leave behind to them. Your nation.
>Holy Spirit Your inner good, truth, and creativity. Your God
It's all metaphors to explain a certain way of life to uneducated folks (who couldn't even read) 2000-5000 years ago.
Jesus being born of the Virgin Mary coincides with astronomy activity where Jupiter passed through Virgo in the sky. It's often stated here that the Dead Sea Scrolls points to the Caesars heavily influencing early Christianity (though I have not seen this for myself). Old religious folk used to say things like "Don't masturbate or god will give you hairy palms!" or "Don't marry that adulterous woman, she's the devil!" or "Keep holy the Sabbath!" and it all sounds so very "Do it because I said so!" But when you find that masturbation leads to chemical imbalances in the brain, or that women who have more than 5 sexual partners develop a psychological condition preventing them from pairbonding, or that church is a powerful social tool for finding solidarity and meeting like-minded people - I suddenly find myself in a pew every Sunday morning. (End pasta)
