JforJesus, I understand your concern. Evidently you are concerned about your sin. I'd just like to say that the Word says in 1 John 1:7-9
"But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

So rather than feel guilty, go to Jesus and Confess your sin. Because He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. J4J,Agree with God, Believe the Word. Act on the Word. Trust and do the Word and God will do what he promises. It is a life long process to work out your own salvation and to become more and more like Jesus. You are on the right track. It takes a lot of guts to pour out youself before other people, (even on the internet) Keep it up. Read, study and learn the Word. That is biggest help because ALL of the answers to your questions are found in the Word.

Opportunity is the doorway to success. Action (work)is the key that unlocks the door.

You have been given great answers for your problem. Now the ball is in your court. Either, you set aside your pride and seek help or you end up wallowing in self-pity. I am not trying to sound harsh. But, you have to make the decision to get help. No one can do it for you. Gary is so right. God uses people to help us. If you do not seek help, you will never win the victory. Take a change on yourself and others and seek help. People do care but you do have to take the first step. [Prayer] [Cross]

J4J,

God works through people.

God works through people.

God works through people.

Got it yet?

If you think God's going to come and speak directly to you, you may have a long wait. Open your eyes. God has been speaking to you through people here on this board.

You owe it to yourself to check out that website wparr gave you in the post above. I checked it out, and it looks to me like just what you need. It doesn't look like they're going to meet with you personally, but over the internet, just like we are doing right now.

I'm growing impatient with you, young feller. I think it's time for you to fish or cut bait. We keep giving you advice, and you appear to continually ignore it, yet you want us to keep giving you advice.

Are you looking to have your ears tickled?

Enough!

Gary

That's cool. But one, I won't be able to do that, cause I am not available to meet up with these people or whatever. Also, shouldn't I let God himself help me? I mean, I guess that's one way I can get closer to him.

Hi. Before I start, I just really need to appologize for some of the comments and posts I've made on here. I guess it's just the right thing to do. Um, I hope I haven't come in here and ruined your message board. So sorry. Like I said, I won't do that again, besides it was a sin. I judged. Now though, for my thing. My problem. I sinned today. One that I haven't done for two weeks. And now I don't know what to do or where to go from here. Becuase I believe I was starting to feel really strong for God until I sinned. So I feel back to my old low self again. So I guess all the bad thoughts and doubts are gonna come back too, since I just opened up the gates for them. What do I do now? Also, does it seem like the end times to you? I don't really know. I mean, I like to hope and say that the Antichrist won't be born until like a 100 years from now. Also, I was wondering if it's ok for me to be on this message board. I mean, I don't know how to find the answers for myself, so I'll ask ya'll folks. And like I pointed above, is it a good strategy to see how long you can go without doing a particular sin? I mean, why can't I feel guilty equally for all my sins? I thought it was gone, but it will always eventually get me again. So does this mean God will teach me a lesson, perhaps cause my foot to be broken when I really dont' want it to? Will he punish me by like making the healing process slower? Sorry, I have alot of excuses, and I feel like a hypocrite now. Thanks.
