OK, yes, I am making a new thread after I had requested for my other one to be deleted.. Anyway, this is about.. err Religion. Anyway, I just read over someone's post in their advice thread, about asking God to help you.... I am so scared, because I have no idea how this whole thing works! Ok, I never got into the habit of praying because I to myself... I don't see how God actually helps you with something... I just don't understand! I also don't see the point in praying... I used to pray and say 'I'm sorry.. blah blah blah for this, please forgive me'.. but I heard in church that if you keep saying sorry for the same thing, God will never forgive you back...(as in if you keep doing it) So I kind of just stopped doing that... So anyway, my question is, am I 'less-of-a-christian' if I don't pray.... And will I go to.. Hell or something??   |

I reckon Christianity is a relationship with God. So if you don't pray - ie. talk to God - then how can you possibly be a Christian? The point of praying is talking to God and hanging out with him and then you know what is viewpoint is in so many areas.
God knows we're mucked up, so if you do something wrong and ask for forgiveness, and then try not to do it, if you do do it again - which you probably will - then yes God will forgive you.

^Agreed with Strawberry. You are a Christian if you have a relationship w/ God. You don't have to pray all the time and be totally devout, but to be Christian I think you should believe that God loves you for who you are and is always willing to listen if you need someone to talk to. He forgives you for all your sins.

On to your religious troubles...
Being a Christian means having a relationship with God. Having a relationship requires talking, hanging out, asking for advice, asking for forgiveness....etc. It's important to ask for God's forgiveness, so He knows that we are sorry for the things we've done and the sins we've made. God is suppose to be your friend....just talk to Him like you would any other friends. He loves you, He wants to help you.
Hope you're doing better on your troubles. Let me know how things are going for you, and if you need anything else...don't be afraid to ask.
-Haley

while i agree that being a christian is about praying and talking with god and stuff, i don't think thats all it. i think you should pray, but i don't all the time and i don't think that makes me a bad person or any less of a christian. i don't believe in a lot of things that the chruch believes in but i'm still a good person, so i don't think i will go to hell for it. i know a lot of believe that don't believe in everything that other christians believe in but are truely good people and they won't go to hell.
i think its all about what you feel comfortable with. your relationship with god, i believe, evolves over time. so right now you could be feeling that praying isn't the thing for you, but in 10 years you might feel a lot closer to god and pray daily.

Yeah, because I believe in a lot of stuff that is probably.. way different from someone else..
Erm... It's kind of hard to explain, but I believe in reincarnation.. I think that when you die, and your life wasn't that great or you just feel like you need to help more people then you can live again in another [human] form.
But, I also believe that if you don't want to live again, you won't have to, and just only live once.
At first I didn't believe in Hell.. Or the Devil.. I went to this site where it had.. erm 'explaing' what happens to you when you go to hell and I freaked out..
I have been becoming more religiuos.. I think about death CONSTANTLY. I am so afraid of dying.. I've had dreams where Jesus came back to Earth and would take cerain people up to heaven..
That's what I mostly worry about! Dying comes second... Worrying about Jesus coming back to Earth just totally freaks ME OUT!! I cry a lot for that main reason. I don't know why, it just scares me...

I hate to say this but it is probably scaring you because you have not completely excepted Christ yet as your savior. In the Bible God says not to fear him other wise your relationship isn't based on true love, trust, honesty, faith, ect. just based on fear. Kinda like how a woman being abused by her husband says she loves him and doesn't leave but only because she knows worse will happen to her. That's not love, and that's not how God wants us to feel, which I think you might be doing right now. So just give it time and get to know him better. Do you read the Word? You really should if you don't, other wise you'll never know Him the way we are suppose to. It'd be like saying that "Katie" is your best friend but you don't even know anything about her like her birthday, fave color, parents names, ect.

hi hi. Ok, a new problem:: Ok, well last year there was a stupid rumor going around at my school saying that I am Gothic. Now, after that got out of the way (and becoming fiends with this little retarded cheerleader who has no life whatsoever), I told her what freak meant (ok, can someone please just hurt me, already?!) well then she tells this dude who thinks he's "Punk" because he listens to Blink 182 and he calls me a poser...... BUT...... thanks to Lisa and... yeah ok, other people, I've finally realized that I'm not Freak, or Punk or anything! I'm just ME!!! Ok, well I haven't even labeled myself lately, unless I was joking and now everyone wants to call me a poser. Really, I don't care what they have to say, it's just the fact that I'm stupid and can't get over things easily. But can I even help the fact that I like flames and chokers and wearing black?.?.? But now what should I do?? Please, someone who has no life and is just reading this out of boredom please tell my little blonde self what to do! Because, I like what I wear. I don't care if anyone says I have no fiends and tries to inform me that I'm wearing a doggy collar. I'm just me... so how do I make people stop.. saying crap?? or am i just overreacting??? ahh!! i'm confuzzled!!!  |

Columbine, that comment was entirely inappropriate. Calling people on these boards "assholes" because they do not respond to your thread is not the way to ask for help. A lot of people are busy at the moment, and just couldn't get to your thread. It's not that they don't care, but they have their own problems too. Consider this your first warning.
