He would Av been forgiven. Peter also denied Christ,but traced back his steps

Millerz:
I've tried getting close to God all this while but I kept going back and forth. How else do I get closer to God if not studying the bible and praying... I've done that consistently for years but it seems like the more I pray, the farther he is from me.

How come people who live wayward lives are the ones God hears earlier?

Chibuikechiks:
Ur article has realy helped me Thanks.

Millerz:
Hi,

Seasons greetings to every one that reads this. This is actually the very first time I'm creating a thread

So, I want to use this medium to openly renounce my Christian faith. I've been a Christian since the day I was born. Maybe not fully devoted, but I spend quality time praying, fasting and reading the bible on my own. For the past 3yrs, i've experienced unimaginable pain, nothing has worked out for me, and my life seems to be going in circles. I've been praying to God, but havnt got results. Nothing appeals to me anymore. All I think about is suicide and I already got poison. My parents are the reason I haven't taken my life. They would be devastated cause I'm the last child. Money isn't the problem cuz I've tasted money that some working class people have never seen.

Before I joined NL, I never doubted God, but seeing all the hate and negative comments from NL atheists has made me question God. The pain in my heart is too much and I wonder why an omnipotent God would let me or anyone suffer. I dont know why God remembers everyone else but ignores me. For the past one week, I've not prayed because I figured why pray when it won't be answered. So yeah, I've officially dropped Christianity today.

Thanks for your time!!

One of the key elements in any contest is to understand the tactics of your opponent and to recognize the subtleties of the strategy or moves they may employ. In the spiritual battle of life we need to develop some sophistication in recognizing, naming, and understanding the subtleties of common tactics of the Devil...........
Without much ado here are the ways the devil decieves us.



1.He may slander God to you in order to cast doubt on God’s goodness and shipwreck your faith (Gen 3:4-5).
2.He may tempt you to deceive others in order to create, or maintain, the impression of being more spiritual (Acts 5:3; Jn 8:44).
3.He may corrupt your mind and steer you away from the simplicity of Christ and His gospel (2 Cor 11:3).
4.He may hinder [cut in on, as in a race] your gospel witness and steal it from unsuspecting hearts (1 Thess 2:18; Matt 13:19).
5.He may wrestle against you, fighting against your progress in Christ (Eph 6:12).
6.He may tempt you to commit sexual immorality against your spouse as a result of neglecting the intimacy of the marriage bed (1 Cor 7:5).
7.He may harass you with some form of fleshly affliction (2 Cor 12:7).
8.He may blind the spiritual eyes of your unsaved family, friends, and neighbors so that they may not see the glory of Jesus in the gospel (2 Cor 4:4).
9.He may keep your unsaved acquaintances in bondage to sins that hinder them from coming to God (Gal 4:.
10.He may smite you with physical disease (Luke 13:16; Job 2:7).

Sin consciousness is what your post is all about

Hebrews 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

Sin consciousness results to remember unto sin. I wonder why believer searches himself daily to see if He has wrong any body. That's being sin conscious.

Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

Everyday I see baby born again christains ask for forgiveness I have never sin in the entire new Testament where any of the disciples or apostles pray for forgiveness of sin. But see what Paul said

1 Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Abstaining from those things by your carnal nature is not possible. Some of us baby christain believers still preach that people should forsake their sins then follow Jesus. Its wrong. If I can forsake my sins then, I don't need Jesus. Remember He came for the unrighteous which include every man created because no man is righteous. Abraham's righteousness was counted unto him because he believed God not base on works.

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

To conclude this my dear brother. BY NATURE... we are SINNERS, BUT BY FAITH we are RIGHTEOUS (SAINTS)
SHALOM!!!!!!!

Epimetheus:
OP, first observation: bad English!
Should be "what did Jesus mean"

Talking about being born again, I have a personal life rule: if faced with the option of going to a snake or a self-professed "born again", go to the snake.

.. This is from experience.
Peace

Babacele:
'no one goes to the father except through me' is a metaphor for ' except u adopt my model' irrespective of your religion or do you explain d story of d good Samaritan?

OLAADEGBU:
Eve was deceived. Adam was not. The argument from the egalitarians is that Eve was deceived, and Adam was not. Therefore, sin entered the world through him because her sin was not as bad as Adams. Discuss.

If the above comment is not proof of torment and a disturbed man, then i dont know what is.
The article disturbes him to an extent that he just has to do all he can to fight it.
Its like the mention of God or christianity torments them and they just have to fight back.
They never stop creating odd threads and comments on christianity and God even though they claim not to believe these. Its obvious they cant control their obsession.

For God or Against God, Evidently there is no mid-seat. The atheists keep proving this right. The devil has a way of using people, its so real you dont realise youre actually possessed.

Except of course one can explain why atheists take a "non-existent" God and religion so seriously which aint possible.

We need to include these guys in our prayers cos as normal as they might sound, many of them are going through so much hurt, pain, trauma and dont know how to get away from it. Many question God wrongly because they think He shouldnt permit evil on them.
Their best try is to fight it off and vent all their frustrations on social media.
It will interest you to know that majority of them live as secret atheists in their domain. We need to understand that social media is probably the only platform where they will ever get to share their frustrations and hence the reason why they stay here day and night.

Lets just pray for them so that they are able to overcome whatever shackles the devil has thrown around their necks before it completely destroyes them and that they find mercy and grace in Christ.
