Please do not get mad at me, but I have to tell you, after accepting the Lord and I am a new christian, I found out what I thought was religious and sacred, to be idol worship. I prayed to different saints, my rosary, and I even went to see the pope as if I could not talk to God myself and found out I could through Jesus Christ and that I was putting my trust in man and in what man has invented to be more i guess you can say more spiritual than the other churches. I think with how the world is today, it is going to be hard not for the churches, but for the christians who stand for Christ because the church is becoming social clubs with great intertainment and there is noone shouting to repent and when that happens, the real christians will suffer for Jesus Christ. I really believe this and what God wants is our trust even in the times that are coming.

it is 4 yrs of nothing and will be more because you have not figured ourt you lost. I read all your post and it has nothing to do with God but everything to do with you wanting to be comforted for sin. i am not sorry to tell you, you are flirting with the devil and the price will be high. My pastor told me yestersay, God will not always strive with man and that htere can come a time when it is too late and there is a time for judgement and instead of 4 yrs for nothing, you will have a lifetime of hell. This you can be certain of. When I came to the Lord my life was a mess and I thought I could hang on to the old me and did not think about the consequences. I thought God would clean up the mess I made but He gave me the courage to admit I did it to myself, God had nothing to do with me when I was not his and I had to pay for what I did and there have been many times I blamed God for what I did out of my own selfishness. I am not perfect, but I am letting god change me into what is pleasing to Him. I am finally living a life that is honest and open to good things the Lord brings. I remembr all the times I prayed for this guy to love me and treat me right, but I am so glad the Lord heard my prayer and the answer was convicting, I needed Jesus and I have not been the same since. I take my salvation serious because I know God will come and those who do not know him and have mocked him will be eternally in hell with what they wanted most, sin.

This hit me so hard. I have always felt rejection and all I really want is to be loved and to be accepted. I have been through so many relationships and all bad because of this and it is a art of my life I do not like to admit. Does God really change a life then I want Him to change mine because I am so tired of me. I am so tired of loving people that are not good for me just ot be loved I let people treat me badly. I do not have a church but I will find one this Sunday. I have read what you suggested and I hope it is for me too. Thank you for being truthful with me.

I am born of God and the evil one cannot touch me. Thank you so much for this portion of your forum. How I needed to read these words and to know how I have been protected from something that would have destroyed my testimony. I wish I would have read this before I sent my last post. All that I am in Christ is life to me and I want to learn more. Thank you all I will be reading as much as I can in this forum.

I have never been on a christian chat before but I need help. I have known someone for a long time. I hate to say, I met him while he was married. We got in contact again and he wants to marry me now that he is no longr married.  What I need help with is that I have recently become a christian and he says he is a christian also. He is currently in jail serving time and will have to go to another jail in the state I am in to serve time on a probation violation felony. He was living with a woman before he went to jail and gave her an engagement ring when he was drunk but does not want to marry her. He calls me his wife and asked me to send him things he needs and to trake care of things for him since we are getting married. Also to get him an attorney for his probation felony. He told me he plans on getting his things while the other woman is at work. I sent him a letter and told him I wanted to be a christian and could not be a part of the lies and I since made it to where there is no contact with him. My question is, did I do the right thing by telling him he cannot be a christan if he lives in lies even though he does not want to marry the other woman he should be honest with her.  I feel as though I had been part of a deception and I don't understand why he sent me scriptures about how the husband should treat the wife as the Lord treats the church. Please tell me, can a christian act like this if they find themselves in a mistake in their life and do not know how to get out of it? Or is this person lost and playing games? I wanted to know because I told him I do not want anything to do with any of it and that he is ruinning his walk if there is a genuine walk. Do christians act like this since christians are not perfect and they are human, or is this someone who is not saved?
I know I do not know much about the bible, but I read it alot since I have been saved and I read a verse in Ephesians that says not to lie to your neighbor and also to walk worthy of the calling of God. I love him, but I do not want to ruin my walk. What do i do? I hope since someone who is a christian for a long time can help me with this. I hope I have not overstepped a boundry in this forum.
