Nothing you can do will save you. Â It doesnt matter how many people you help or how “good” you are.
Only Christ can do that. Â Do you believe in Him?
Okay, then, trust Him. Â You are saved no matter what you “feel” like, no matter how weak or what you did or will do.
Do this and some days when other people stand with open mouths and awe at the POWER and light shining through you… Â You won’t have to tell them that you are as awestruck and surprised as they are.

God doesn’t exist and this site says “no preaching”. This means you!
Saying God doesn’t exist is the other side of the coin, isn’t it. Another sort of “preaching”.
My post is still here. Go on ahead and report me. That means you!
@cameroronhateschristmas, my friend i believe in a god, that i can not prove exists any more than i can prove that that God doesn’t exist. I respect your view and if you would like to talk about non-religious challenges in your life, i would be honored to listen. From many comments you leave, i sense a high amount of frustration in your words. Captainsquirrel123 at G mail dot comm
@HealingInHisWings, you do serve a great purpose to some here. Keep up the good work. Feel free to contact me anytime also. I am not sure our views on God and service differ, but i bet we share some common ground. This is your post and “we” don’t need to read it if we don’t want to.
Thank you. Wow. I’m not used to support. 🙂
It has been like fighting upstream current at most times at most sites.
Mail me anytime, friend. I will do the same.
I used to be Christian but recent changes and troubles have changed my views.
What I said was a bit harsh and I apologize.
your (and al of us) only hope is God.
You wont make it on your own in this world without God.
healing, thats coz most of the world rejects God (as we know).
Its either A or B, no middle ground.
Either someone is one of Gods’ people, ore they aren’t.
You are forgiven.
Maybe you should give it another try…
If you doubt God maybe you just didn’t stick with it long enough.
It doesn’t happen ALL the time, really only from season to season, but God
makes Himself known in a big way eventually to all that belong to Him. There is no doubt about His existence to that child of God after that. Only doubt about ourselves.
Dear Cameronhateschristmas,
Nothing to be sorry about, life can be very hard sometimes and if you write your feelings as you feel them, well that is fine. Your apology does show reflection on the past though and i am sure HealingInHisWings is capable of letting that roll off his back. I read most of his comments and that individual is trying in the way he sees best. As i do. If there was a cookie cutter solution to all our challenges, we wouldn’t be here. Possibly the solution is multifaceted too. I need to hear you views as much as Healings views as much as everyone on this site’s input.
@HealingInHiswings, i dont have your email, yet, where do i find it?
I’ll post it here. I don’t care who has it and who emails. 🙂

I’m pretty sure I stuck with him long enough. I was born and raised a believer, but I really doubted and finally lost my faith in my late teens after I realised how sick the world is adding all the sh1t I’m putting up with. I guess my reasoning is the old “why does God allow suffering?” argument
It’s hard to have faith in someone who ignores you in your darkest hour 🙁
cameronhateschristmas, i am here for you you, write me. I may be a far cry from God but i listen like a SOB.
@Cameron
So the truth is, it isn’t that you don’t believe, you just don’t understand why He let’s evil go on…
There is nothing wrong with questioning. You do nothing wrong in asking your legitimate concerns.
Ask Him. Seek the answers. It may just be that He will answer you.
Nothing can save you. Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone!
To acknowledge the existence of a god would be to acknowledge the willful ignorance regarding the weaknesses I am now expected to turn over to him.
Even if god existed I would not want to be saved by that sort of person.
And of course you can get through life without believing in the concept of a deity. Our only hope ought to be each other, but we’re too stuck-up with things like this to actually do anything useful.
poisontongue, i am here for you too. write and i will read, speak and i will listen.
I don’t even know what’s left to say. I don’t have much of a voice, or anything for that matter. Why bother anyone with my pointless whining?
poisontongue, if it bothers you enough to “whine” about it, it is important enough for me to listen. I believe there is a lot more for you to say.
I’m just numb and tired and want it to be over, not have to go through the motions of the half-life/no-life that will define me.
To tell it all and have them understand and get to the truth… it would be a relief, at least. Even if meaningless.
i can understand the numb and tired. explain the motions of half-life/ no-life that will define you, please. i do not see your life as that. it may feel like that, but i assure you it is not. Tell me it all, i highly doubt it will be meaningless
That leaves a lot to explain, and me with no adequate words, which is no small part of the problem. I am nothing more than a cosmic crumb in the vast milky spill of the universe. Unattached, invisible, inconsequential. Guaranteed to worry and struggle and fail. At best I could be another lonely cog in the machine of business and society without any adequate explanation of who I am. What I am. At best. But bound to be an empty waste of time.
poisontongue, i will agree we are very small in comparison to all things known and unknown. You are no invisible though nor are you inconsequential. So lets break down the unattached part, why, what has lead you here to believe that. Worry, struggle and fail…..at everything?
Will God forgive me taking my life?
Koji, my God will. If he doesn’t then that is not my God anymore. Plus,I wouldn’t forgive myself if I knew you were suicidal and did nothing to try and show you love and compassion while you contemplated suicide.
Thank you OnlyLoveisReal. That honestly means a lot to me.
It is what I believe. Also I used the pronoun “he”to describe God. My bad, that is not my belief God is energy, and male/female do not exist over there. Plus, I give you my word I will refuse heaven until all have entered. My God is love and forgiveness and all are entitled to it. We stand in our own way when it comes to receiving love and forgiveness. If you ever need to talk, or write , email me. I would be honored
Thank you. Your a very good person. We need more people like you in this world.
Pretty much. Including when it comes to other people. I am mentally deficient now, to match my physical state. Must have been years of isolation and trying not to think about it.
If there is a god I can’t help but think he must be sadistic
cameronhateschristmas, i believe that people who do not try and understand the suffering of those around them are “sadistic”
I have altered my views on that topic as well. You know, as you grow up, everyone tells you that Hell is the destination of those who kill themselves… Then I grew up and read the bible extensively and didn’t see that written anywhere. I’m sure it is a sin, but as He said, “It is finished”.
It is a shame though… If you kill yourself, you rob the world of the understanding person you would have grown to be. No one but someone who has been there can understand how to help someone who reminds you of how you used to be.
The thing is, after that you start to realize the reason why you had to suffer in the first place!
Builds character, doesn’t it?
Or, as the case may be, removing the world of a negative influence incapable of helping anyone.
It is cruelty to force this character-building exercise. The suffering will always be needless.
